It was as if something beyond his control was already slipping from his palm. He tried desperately to grasp it, but ultimately, he could only watch helplessly as it slid away little by little through the gaps between his fingers. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold onto the slightest bit. It was a kind of powerless and incompetent rage.
However, at this moment, his phone began to ring.
Qin Zhigu rolled over and immediately grabbed his phone to check it, oh, it was from Cai Yiren.
Without even looking, his first thought was to simply turn it off. After a second thought, however, he didn't turn off the phone, just set it aside. Then, he pondered for a bit more and set Lu Weixi to special ringtone for calls and pinned her messages to the top to ensure he would receive her messages immediately. But even after all this, he still couldn't sleep peacefully.
