Jing Haohao answered, a gentle "Hello?" resonating from her end, only to hear Shen Liangnian's familiar voice on the other side: "Haohao?"
The said name struck Jing Haohao's heart, causing it to momentarily stop.
Just a moment ago, she had been fussing over who might be calling her. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect it to be Shen Liangnian.
Jing Haohao was not a fool. In an instant, she figured out that Shen Liangnian's call was to confirm whether she was genuinely involved with Liang Chen or not.
If their fleeting encounter through the rolled down car window on the street was a mere suspicion, then this call was about ascertaining it beyond doubt.
A feeling of lacerating pain originated from her chest, brutally spreading to the fingertips holding her phone.
On the other end of the line, Shen Liangnian was silent, too. Jing Haohao's preceding "Hello?" resounded like a nightmare in his ears.
