She took out her phone, opened the contacts page, and looked at the number inside, hesitating whether to really press it.
The phone's screen turned off and then on again, over and over, until finally, she didn't hesitate anymore and pressed to call.
The phone had just started to ring when it was answered on the other end.
The image of Wen Yanqing sitting on the balcony, waiting by the phone, surfaced in Lin Gantang's mind.
Lin Gantang didn't speak, and from the other side came a hoarse voice: "Tangtang."
"You knew it was me, huh? Were you missing me?" Lin Gantang asked softly.
Lin Gantang knew he missed her. She had followed him these past days, silently observing him, watching him restless and sleep-deprived, seeing him holding a ring until his eyes reddened.
She also heard him calling out her name in his restless sleep at night.
