As soon as the video call connected, Qin Xiao answered, still in bed and obviously just awake, "Nini, haven't you rested?"
His voice carried a hint of huskiness from just waking...
Earlier, when Qin Xiao woke, he was still a bit hazy and didn't notice the time Xiao Li replied to his message. He thought it was another instance when he fell asleep and she responded after her shift. He assumed Xiao Li must be sleeping now, so he simply replied to the message.
Unexpectedly, just as he replied, Xiao Li's video call came through.
Xiao Li looked at Qin Xiao in the video; since he was in his room, Qin Xiao wasn't wearing a mask.
For so many days now, Xiao Li and Qin Xiao had mostly seen each other with masks on. It had been a long time since Xiao Li had seen Qin Xiao's full face.
