Wen Ran uttered "hello" into the phone.
No sound came from the other end of the call.
Through the distant signals, she could faintly hear a gentle breath on the other side.
Her heart clenched abruptly.
Clenching her phone tightly, her slender figure froze in the stairway, holding her breath.
Just as she thought that the other party would not speak.
A voice came through, carrying three parts of a familiarity and two parts of a heart-wrenching confusion: "Who is this?"
Wen Ran's heart that had been clenched just before the voice entered her ears.
Her heart then became like a wild horse that had slipped its reins, completely out of her control, pounding as if it was about to leap out of her chest.
The two words she longed to say nearly slipped out.
Something rushed quickly past her nose and welled up in her eyes.
She bit her lip tightly, her slim shoulders trembling slightly.
The other party couldn't hear her voice, and sighed softly.
