"How busy? How long?" Jin Lin pressed for answers.
Hua Miaomiao remained silent: "..."
Jin Lin continued, "Is it because I left, that I'm not busy anymore, that you would come home?"
Her voice carried a cold mockery, and she chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Hua Miaomiao, are you avoiding me?"
The long tail of her voice sounded heartbreakingly sad and distressed.
Hua Miaomiao still did not speak, as if not knowing what to say.
"Hua Miaomiao, can you please come back soon? There have been strange noises outside lately!" Jin Lin pursed her lips, her tone a bit like coquettishness mingled with hope, "I'm scared, please come back soon. If you don't, I don't want to live here alone anymore."
After a moment of silence, Hua Miaomiao finally spoke, "Once I finish work today, I'll come back!"
Jin Lin smiled and said, "I'll wait for you!"
