They glanced at each other.
With a silent group nod, all four of them turned on their AirBuds at the same time.
A crisp, mechanical voice sounded in their minds.
"AirBuds activated."
"Server connected."
"AirBuds bounded to the user successfully."
Yan Zhi's eyes widened.
Mo Xixi straightened her back with visible anticipation.
Kurome's tail swayed once.
Tian Lu blinked twice.
But before anyone else could say a word -
'Hello.'
Hao, who had already activated his AirBuds much earlier than the others, suddenly sat upright - caught off guard mid-slouch, eyes snapping open as if yanked from a daydream.
Tian Lu?
That was not the one he expected to go first!
Not Mo Xixi, who always had something to say - be it a correction or a "totally mature" rant about how she wasn't jealous. At all. Not even a little.
Not Kurome, who probably already mentally named her AirBuds "Left Fang" and "Right Fang."
