"Hello, Sister Pei Ge, how are you recently? Is auntie doing fine?"
Qin Qitong's upbeat voice came through the receiver, jolting Pei Ge out of her reverie.
"Mhm… not good…" she spoke her true thoughts aloud, not bothering to hide her problems in her depression.
"Huh? Is it because of the money? If that's the case, you don't have to worry at all! I will get you the money!" Qin Qitong happily exclaimed. Pei Ge could hear the happiness in her voice.
Her nose immediately tingled when she heard her.
"Thank you… Thank you, Qitong…" She could not help her tears from falling any longer.
"Hm? Sister Pei Ge, are you crying?" Qin Qitong asked in confusion, continuing, "Could it be that you're crying tears of joy?"
Before she even heard an answer, she immediately corrected herself.
"That's not right. From your voice, it doesn't sound like a cry of joy."
