"Xixi, it's me."
When Nan Xi heard Lu Jianshen's familiar voice, she burst into tears.
Days of longing and worry finally settled in that moment.
"Jianshen..." Barely managing to utter his name, Nan Xi was already choking, unable to speak.
On the phone, there was only the sound of Nan Xi's broken sobs.
Lu Jianshen felt his heart shatter listening to her, and could only offer gentle consolation, "Xixi, don't cry, I'm sorry, it was my fault for making you worry."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, everything is good here."
"Then why didn't you answer my calls? Do you know how many times I called you?" It was only then that Nan Xi released the pent-up hurt and worry, her voice raised with emotion.
"Lu Jianshen, do you know you scared me to death?"
"Do you know how scared I was? I was afraid something happened to you, afraid I would never see you again."
After saying all this in one breath, Nan Xi felt a slight relief in her chest.
