“You can,” Little Lin said.
Yan Qingsi was elated. She could finally make a call. She quickly called Yue Tingfeng. Thank goodness she remembered Yue Tingfeng’s phone number.
She wheeled around and entered. Little Lin wanted to go in as well. “I’m going to make a call,” Yan Qingsi said, smiling, “can you please wait for me outside? You…should talk properly with Yuchi for a while. He’s such a nice young man. Don’t miss your chance. If I didn’t have a boyfriend already, I wouldn’t be able to just let him slip by. You have to take a leap of faith. It definitely won’t go wrong.”
Little Lin’s face instantly reddened. “Ahem… I–I…I… You should hurry up and make the call.”
Yan Qingsi closed the door. She called Yue Tingfeng’s number automatically. Nobody picked up the call after a while. She called him again.
The call went through a few moments later. “Hello? Who is it…” Yan Qingsi heard Yue Tingfeng’s impatient voice.
Furthermore, there was a lot of background noise on the other side of the call. He was probably outside.
“Well…since you don’t want to talk to me, I’ll just hang up,” Yan Qingsi replied on purpose.
Yue Tingfeng was stunned when he heard Yan Qingsi’s voice. “Wait…” he cried out, “I didn’t hear wrong, did I? Is it you, Qingsi?”
The corners of Yan Qingsi’s lips lifted. “Who else could it be if it isn’t me?”
Yan Qingsi felt her entire body relaxed when she heard Yue Tingfeng’s voice. Sure, Xia Anlan was nice to her, but they had only met for a few days.
“How are you? Are you better?” Yue Tingfeng immediately fired the questions. “Did anybody bully you these few days?”
Yan Qingsi’s mouth curled into a smile at his worried tone. “I’m better already. I’m fine. Now…there’s probably no one bullying me.”
Her uncle was Xia Anlan. Who dared to raise a hand against her now?
Yue Tingfeng was about to go through customs. “Right, Qingsi, are you in Rong City now?” he asked hurriedly.
“Mmhmm. I’m in Rong City. I can go back after a few days.”
She would go back after her grandmother’s condition has improved and stabilized. She still wanted to live her own life. Be in love, film dramas, and perhaps…get married.
“Qingsi, wait for me.”
He hung up once he said the words. He finally heard Yan Qingsi’s voice after so many days. He did not feel at ease though. Rather, he was even more eager to see her, to hug her.
His entire heart was given to her. Without her around, he felt as though his soul had flown away along with her.
Yan Qingsi held the phone, stunned. Jeez. It had not been easy for her to make one call, and he just hung up after a few sentences.
Yan Qingsi felt a little irate. How could he?
Then she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up. Holy cr*p…he could not be…
…
Xia Anlan was in two consecutive meetings. He did not have lunch together with Yan Qingsi. He just simply shoveled in a few mouthfuls and instructed someone to provide Yan Qingsi with plenty of food. He practically had no rest before he continued working.
By the time he was done, it was four in the afternoon. He rushed over to see Qingsi.
“Have you been waiting anxiously?”
Yan Qingsi shook her head. “Not really. I’m not that bored since I have a phone.” Yan Qingsi sent a Wechat message to Mrs. Yue, Ji Mianmian and Miss Mai, telling them she was safe. She even posted on Weibo. The time passed by quickly.
“Come on. I’ll bring you back home.”
“Uncle, are you…married?” Yan Qingsi asked out of curiosity while they were on the way back.
“No,” Xia Anlan replied.
“But there are rumors on the internet that you married a long time ago. Your son is already a teenager.”
Xia Anlan chuckled, stroking Yan Qingsi’s head. “I don’t have a son,” he said, his voice full of affection, “I only have a niece. You’re my only child!”
