Dig On, Dig On III

Since I did not know how to face my family, I agreed.

I found an agricultural bank nearby and made a codeless card. I then deposited 200,000 into it.

Back in my room, I went over the lines that I was going to recite, "I'm a high-level engineer in a coal mining factory. I get tens of thousands a month. Here's 200,000 for you to do up the house a little. I'll only be here for three days since I have to get back to my job."

The best way to deceive others is to deceive yourself, so I continuously bore these lines into my head.

I dreamed that my parents found out about my lie, and woke up drenched in cold sweat. It was a horrible feeling.

I continued practicing the lines in the afternoon until my telephone rang and startled me.

It was the receptionist, calling to remind me to check out by two or to pay for another day's stay at the counter if I was interested in extending it.

I waited until 1:30 before heading back home.
