Huo Yao sat in the living room, watching the television after dinner.
Her phone rang in her pocket. She checked it and realized that Yuan Xi was calling her.
Huo Yao recalled Yuan Huan was Yuan Xi's brother. She paused for a couple of seconds and pressed the answer button.
"I just found out you're on a few days' sick leave. Are you okay?" Yuan Xi was still coughing as she spoke.
Huo Yao heard Yuan Xi coughing deeply. She looked up and replied. "I'm fine. What about you? Why are you still unwell?"
Yuan Xi coughed a few more times before it finally subsided. She frowned and complained. "I should have recovered already, but I can't stop coughing."
Huo Yao nodded. "Drink more warm water."
"Got it." Yuan Xi smiled as she touched the figurines on her table. Even though she had some baby fat on her face, she had clearly lost a lot of weight. "Oh yes. Are you coming to school tomorrow?"
