The instant the other party picked up her call, her eyes immediately brightened up, full of either hope or relief.
An entire night of waiting has created so much grievance in her heart that at this moment, she was on the brink of tears. However, she straightened her neck and barked harshly, "Zi Chuan, where the hell are you? Do you know that I—"
"Xiao Qiao."
His voice, on the verge of changing due to puberty, interrupted hers.
Even though he had only said a couple of words, his voice gave Qiao Lian a sense of foreboding.
She stopped yelling, as though she was afraid of what he was about to say next. Instead, she smiled and said, "Zi Chuan, how are you? Did something happen?"
Tears rolled down her face as she forced a smile. "Zi Chuan, could you come to see me, please?"
Once she finished speaking, he stayed silent for a while before uttering the last sentence one says in a relationship, "Xiao Qiao, I'm never going to see you again."
