Wrong message

  1. Liangliang

    灯灯(dēngdēng)，你(nǐ)昨天(zuótiān)为什么(wèishénme)不(bù)回(huí)我(wǒ)的(de)信息(xìnxī)？

    Dengdeng, why did you not reply to my message yesterday?

  2. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)回(huí)了(le)呀(ya)！你(nǐ)一定(yīdìng)是(shì)误会(wùhuì)了(le)。

    I did reply! You must have misunderstood.

  3. Liangliang

    可是(kěshì)我(wǒ)的(de)手机(shǒujī)里(lǐ)什么(shénme)都(dōu)没有(méiyǒu)。

    But there is nothing on my phone.

  4. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)给(gěi)你(nǐ)回(huí)了(le)，可能(kěnéng)发(fā)错(cuò)人(rén)了(le)。

    I replied, but maybe I sent it to the wrong person.

  5. Liangliang

    原来(yuánlái)是(shì)误会(wùhuì)，对不起(duìbuqǐ)！

    So it was a misunderstanding. Sorry!

  6. Dengdeng

    没事(méishì)。但是(dànshì)收到(shōudào)我(wǒ)信息(xìnxī)的(de)那个(nàge)人(rén)，现在(xiànzài)可能(kěnéng)也(yě)误会(wùhuì)了(le)。

    It is fine. But whoever got my message may be confused now too.
