Chi Enen, having come to terms with her feelings, was not one to play coy. She walked to the balcony and dialed Li Beijue's phone number—
"Doo..."
Her mobile phone rang only once before the call connected, but silence filled the other end.
Chi Enen couldn't say why, but she suddenly felt nervous. She held her phone in one hand and rested the other on the balcony railing, biting her lower lip and tentatively whispered, "Hello?"
"…" Silence still reigned on the other end of the phone.
Static hissed through the receiver.
Chi Enen gripped the railing, her knuckles turning slightly white with nervous apprehension, "Li Beijue, are you listening?"
After a long while, so long she thought no one was actually listening on the other end, a deep, husky voice finally came through, "Didn't you want nothing to do with me?"
His voice was rough, as if he hadn't drunk water for days, loaded with a gravelly texture.
