Time ticked forward, and He Xing guessed that Fu Han should be awake by now. Instead of directly starting a video call, he sent a tentative message: "Xiaohan, have you woken up?"
Less than a minute later, Fu Han's video call came through. Before even answering, a smile was already spreading across He Xing's face. "Xiaohan, why did you get up so early today?"
Fu Han's face was magnified on his phone screen as her clear voice sounded: "I wake up at this time every day; it's just sometimes I go back to sleep for a bit."
"Then..." Seeing Fu Han through the phone made He Xing's heart melt. He spoke with a tone used to cajole children, "Then after you hang up, you can go back to sleep for a while, can't you? You went to bed late last night."
He Xing's flight to City A arrived at midnight in M Country, and he had told Fu Han to sleep early without waiting for him, but Fu Han insisted on confirming his safe landing before she would go to sleep.
