He Zhichu was silent.
He wanted to go visit her, but considering how his own fever had just subsided, he may still be contagious if he had a cold virus.
After stewing over it for a while, he said to Gu Nianzhi, "Turn on the video chat, I want to see your face."
Gu Nianzhi giggled before turning on the video chat on her phone. She said with ill intentions, "You'd better be mentally prepared. Don't be frightened by me…"
He Zhichu mentally prepared himself fully, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi's perfect face brimming with youthful vitality, he finally knew realized that he had fallen for her trick.
"Naughty." He Zhichu dryly chastised her, but he didn't get angry. Likewise, he was not unhappy or embarrassed by her teasing.
