Hugh stared at the photo Jane sent.

He thought about it for a long time.

But he still could not figure out its meaning and what Jane was trying to say.

Hugh texted, [Janie, I give up. Does this photo… mean anything?]

Jane somehow felt like she was always bullying Hugh because Hugh liked her. She felt like a brazen little witch.

Jane quickly opened her TikTok

She found a video she had seen when scrolling through the app in her spare time.

She forwarded it to Hugh.

Hugh saw that Jane had sent him a link.

He clicked on it.

In the video, a female was speaking.

Her tone sounded gentle.

He could not control it.

The video Jane sent…
