Synopsis
On the way home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, my brother handed me his phone while he drove. “See if the directions group has sent the location.” I unlocked it. At the top of the screen was a group chat called Four Unlucky Souls. Its picture showed my brother, my boyfriend, our two childhood friends, and Wen Li. Wen Li had just sent a message: [Zhiyi will be here soon, won’t she? Hide the cake first.] My boyfriend replied: [She always takes forever. Let her get here on her own. We’ll eat first.] One of our childhood friends immediately added: [Don’t let her find out about this group. I let something slip last time, and she wouldn’t stop asking.] A string of laughing emojis followed. I couldn’t help scrolling back. Camping trips. Dinners. New Year’s Eve. Even photos of my brother moving house six months earlier. They had had this group for a long time. Genres: Drama, Psychological, Slice of life
