There was the sound of objects colliding over the phone before it quietened down. After a while, Huo Ting's cold voice appeared again.
"Stay where you are, don't move around," he instructed.
Su Mianmian nodded hard even thought she knew he couldn't see it.
She didn't ask if Huo Ting knew where she was.
Huo Ting also didn't ask Su Mianmian why she said she was scared.
Su Mianmian didn't ask because she couldn't think of anything else. She was now like a frightened little animal, and any movement could scare her.
She held her mobile phone helplessly and didn't hang up even if Huo Ting was silent on the other end of the phone.
She needed comfort.
Even if Uncle's voice was still cold as usual, it could give her courage and make her not so afraid.
"Uncle, have you reached?" Su Mianmian asked timidly, "How long will it take before I can see you?"
"Count to one hundred and I will be there," Huo Ting replied.
