"Since you've decided to come along, I can't just send you back. But you must promise not to speak out of turn!" Bai Yiqi's urgent tone conveyed the seriousness of the situation.
"Y-God's temperament can be quite unpredictable. It's crucial not to offend her," Bai Yixing added, his brow furrowed as he looked to Bai Xing for acknowledgment.
Under the weight of his son's stern gaze, Bai Xing reluctantly nodded, silently agreeing to comply with their request.
Just as the tension in the room seemed to ease, Bai Yiqi's phone rang sharply, shattering the silence.
Swiftly, he retrieved his phone, a gleam of delight crossing his face as he read the incoming message. "Y-God has arrived. I'll go fetch her!"
"Wait, I'll come with you," Bai Xing interjected, rising from his seat and quickly joining Bai Yiqi as they left the room.
Stepping out of the elevator, the hallway's sterile lighting cast shadows as they walked purposefully forward.
As they advanced, Bai Xing's phone buzzed insistently, disturbing the quiet atmosphere.
An unknown number flashed on the screen, causing Bai Xing to furrow his brow in confusion. Why would someone unknown be calling his personal line?
With a hint of suspicion, he hesitated before deciding to decline the call, opting instead to dismiss the unidentified caller.
Moments later, a text message arrived, its sender matching the previous caller's identity, leaving Bai Xing puzzled and wary.
Intrigued by the mysterious communication, Bai Xing couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled over him. Who could be reaching out to him in such a secretive manner?
Caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty, Bai Xing grappled with a myriad of unanswered questions. The cryptic message lingered in his mind like an unsolved puzzle.
As he pondered the sender's identity, Bai Xing couldn't shake the feeling that they played a significant role in the unfolding events, their motives shrouded in mystery.
An unfamiliar number.
How could a stranger be calling his personal phone?
Bai Xing furrowed his brows, choosing not to answer and simply hanging up.
As soon as he did, a text message arrived.
It was from the same person who had just called.
Who could it be?
Bai Xing's mind raced with possibilities, each one more unsettling than the last. The mysterious caller seemed to hold the key to a puzzle he hadn't even realized existed. With each passing moment, his curiosity grew, mingled with a growing sense of unease. Who was this person, and what did they want from him?
