In the friend circle, there's no news whatsoever, whether from Wan Donglin, Huang Xiaojue, or even Zhou Ting. The most bizarre thing is that Zhou Xiaoxuan has gone quiet; her friend circle hasn't been updated for two months.
Yan Xixi dejectedly held the phone, originally wanting to take a selfie, to go against the trend. But, her hand trembled, and she deleted it.
Finally, the phone rang.
Empress Dowager Liu's voice was very gentle: "Xixi, I'm sorry, I can't come to see you this Christmas."
At last, a familiar voice spoke, making her very happy: "Empress Dowager, what are you up to?"
"I'm spending it alone too. Dongmei visited me last week; their family went on vacation and asked me to join. I don't like crowds and decided not to go."
She chuckled: "Being alone must be lonely for you."
"Who's to say it isn't? Donglin is busy with meetings…"
