This is, this is the exact laughter he had in the, in, in the apartment.
28:33
[laughs] So what I did was, there was one...
28:35
I was just waiting for the one day where they both go out first, leaving me ins- inside.
28:40
The moment they closed the door, I ran to Jian Hao's room.
28:43
I o- one single personally took out his mattress, and I put it on Ming Yu's air mattress, and then I put all of Ming Yu's stuff that was on the air mattress on top of Jian Hao's mattress, leaving Jian Hao's bed frame with no mattress.

18:45
Mm.
