Chi Zaozao leaned anxiously and sorrowfully into Ye Que's embrace, and he held her without uttering a word.
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket began to ring.
With one arm around Chi Zaozao's shoulders, he took out his phone to answer the call, the incoming number displayed as an unfamiliar one.
Nonetheless, he pressed the answer button, "Hello? This is Ye Que."
Immediately, a girl's voice as gentle as water came through, "Um, Professor Ye, hello, I—I'm looking for Zaozao."
As they had parted earlier and because Chi Zaozao was pregnant and could not carry a mobile phone, she had given Mu Xiangning Ye Que's mobile number, so now, Mu Xiangning had to call Ye Que's number to reach Zaozao.
Ye Que responded, "Hmm," and then held the phone to Chi Zaozao's ear, "It's your roommate."
Chi Zaozao glanced at Ye Que and called into the phone, "Hello?"
Hearing that something was off in her voice, Mu Xiangning asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Zaozao? Are you catching a cold?"
