"Hello…"
After the call got through, Pei Ge did not even realize the strong sense of hurt and helplessness in her voice.
"Where are you?"
Ji Ziming's clear and low voice drifted into her ears, making her feel even worse.
"Are you really concerned about my whereabouts?"
Sniffing, she forced her tears back and spoke with a crying voice.
It seemed that the man was surprised by her question as he only answered after a while.
"…Are you all right?"
"I'm all right, and the person who's not all right is you."
She took a deep breath and, in that brief moment, wanted to say everything that she knew.
However, whenever the words were about to spill from her mouth, her throat would… constrict.
The moment she thought of the fact that everything between them would vanish when she spoke, her heart would feel excruciating pain as if it were being deeply pierced by a knife.
