"Hello."
It was Jiao Chen and his voice was still so gentle and warm.
Su Yue placed the phone back to her ear. "Jiaojiao, where did you go for your trip? Why didn't you inform me about it yesterday?"
"A faraway place."
Jiao Chen replied with a hint of amusement in his tone.
A faraway place… Su Yue's heart jerked when she heard him, although she knew that Jiao Chen was joking.
Nevertheless, she was still a little paranoid. "What?!"
Jiaojiao grinned and replied, "I'm joking. I'm in N City. Stay with your third brother for the next few days, alright?"
Su Yue murmured in response before asking, "When will you be back?"
Jiao Chen softly replied, "I'm not sure. Depends on the progress."
Su Yue didn't read too much into his reply and said, "Remember to take good care of yourself."
"Okay," Jiao Chen mumbled over the line.
There was a trace of subtle longing, reluctance, and yearning in his voice.
