"Ring... ring...." the dial tone rang as Zou Yue waited for the person to pick up.
"Fan Xui," the person answered in a stern tone.
"!!!!" Zou Yue tightly gripped his phone. 'Oh, my god his voice sounds so cold. Did I disturb him? shit What do I say....'
"Who is this?" the person on the other side seemed annoyed by his silence.
"It's Zou.. Zou Yue. I.. I was just calling to see if you were free this Friday, if so.... are you free for dinner?" it took a lot of courage to say those words.
All of a sudden, there was a loud noise on the other side of the receiver.
"Is everything okay? Fan Xui?"
"e—verything is fine," the voice sounded hoarse and panting. "My hand slipped, that's all,"
"Oh... can we meet up?" he anxiously waited for his reply. His mother was sitting right next to him, giving him a thumbs up.
