"But where have they gone now?" Ye Chen muttered to himself, his words filled with deep concern.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
Just as Ye Chen's mind was in turmoil, his cellphone suddenly rang.
"How could I be so foolish, I forgot to call them!" Ye Chen expressed his annoyance, pulling out his phone. He initially thought it might be Liu Shihua or Zhang Xinlan calling, but to his surprise, the caller ID showed it was Su Binglan.
"Hello?" Ye Chen's voice was low and husky.
"Honey, I kind of miss you!" came Su Binglan's delicate voice.
"I miss you too," Ye Chen said, speaking the truth.
Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle."
Su Binglan giggled over the phone, touched by Ye Chen's heartfelt words.
"Binglan, something has come up here, so let's not talk now," Ye Chen hurriedly said, about to hang up the phone.
With Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua's whereabouts unknown, Ye Chen clearly had no mood to linger on the call.
