“You’re right… but I forgot… I have no memory of it,” Mu Xiaoxiao said gloomily like a deflated balloon.
Han Qiqing thought for a moment and said, “You seem to be quite moody today. Is it because of Aunt Flo?”
“I don’t know.” Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that she was getting more and more restless.
“It must be! Actually, there are times when I’m like this too. When I feel like that, I feel extremely restless and even feel like hitting people. There was once when Shijun got on my nerves, so I bit him.”
Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled. Then she remembered something and asked, “How was it yesterday? Did he send you home?”
“Yeah, he did. Oh yeah, don’t stay at home alone. Come to my place. Just like last time, we can do some aromatherapy, alright? Then we’ll get the kitchen to cook up something nice.”
“Oh, okay then. Then I’ll go over right away.”
Holding her phone, Mu Xiaoxiao got down from the sofa.
Since Yin Shaojie wasn’t at home, she didn’t want to stay alone at home.
Han Qiqing asked, “Do you want me to call the chauffeur to pick you up?”
“No need. I’ll call a cab myself since it isn’t that far anyways. It’d be too slow for the chauffeur to go back and forth.”
“Okay, then come over soon.”
Hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoxiao went into the room to change her clothes and left home while carrying her bag.
In the cab.
Just when Mu Xiaoxiao was thinking of whether to call Yin Shaojie to inform him, her phone rang.
It turned out that it wasn’t Yin Shaojie who had called her.
The caller ID indicated someone else.
Mu Xiaoxiao answered the call.
“Yu Zhe? Is anything the matter?”
…
At the Han residence.
Han Qiqing was eating snacks in the garden on the second floor, waiting for Mu Xiaoxiao to arrive.
However, an hour passed, and she still didn’t see Xiaoxiao.
“Why is she so slow?” Han Qiqing muttered.
According to the expected travel time, she should have gotten here by now.
Laying in the chair, Han Qiqing grabbed the phone next to her and gave Xiaoxiao a call.
The pleasant ringtone kept ringing until it ended, but no one answered.
“Why aren’t you answering the phone?” Han Qiqing was puzzled. She dialed again, but this time, the phone on the other end was off.
She was stunned.
Han Qiqing suddenly stood up from the chair looking shocked. “Why is it turned off?”
Did her phone run out of battery?
Or…
A vague premonition came to her, and Han Qiqing’s heart suddenly sunk and felt chilly.
Xiaoxiao… couldn’t have gotten into an accident, could she?
Han Qiqing quickly shook her head. “No, no, it can’t be. It’s probably just that her phone went out of battery.”
But the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Pacing around, she was very anxious and didn’t know what to do.
If only she had known that this would happen, she would have gotten the chauffeur to pick up Xiaoxiao!
Han Qiqing hit herself on the head and chastised herself.
What should I do?
What should I do?
What should I do now?!
Should I wait a while more? Maybe Xiaoxiao’s phone really ran out of battery and she is still on her way?
But a hazy sense of anxiety came over Han Qiqing, and because she couldn’t stand to worry so much anymore, she immediately called Yin Shaojie.
Yin Shaojie seemed to be busy as the dialing tone was about to be cut off before he finally answered the call.
“Yin Shaojie! We got a problem! I can’t get through to Xiaoxiao’s phone. What should I do?”
Yin Shaojie asked, “What do you mean?”
Han Qiqing quickly told him about what had happened.
Then, she heard Yin Shaojie sounding tense as he said, “It’s not possible that her phone ran out of battery. She only charged it this morning!”
Han Qiqing suddenly trembled with the phone in her hand.
