Lu Haiqiao suddenly sat up. She moved her phone away and cleared her throat softly, making it sound less muddled.
"No, I'm still awake."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her face heat up for no reason.
"Lu Haiqiao, what's wrong with you? It's not like you haven't taken his call before. Why are you so nervous?"
While she was secretly complaining, she noticed that Xie Xuan was silent for a long time after his first sentence.
The sound of the rain entered her ears. Lu Haiqiao looked up at the window. The sound of the rain didn't come from her side but from Xie Xuan's side.
She made a bold guess. "Are you… not at home now?"
"Yes, I just finished my business. I'm not home yet." Xie Xuan's voice was low and deep as if he was suppressing some kind of emotion. After a while, he suddenly said, "Haiqiao…"
Lu Haiqiao's heart raced uncontrollably. This was the first time he had called her name like this.
