"Can't find the direction, heading to the rainbow paradise, the love you speak of, touching sadness with happiness..."
Xiaoli was applying medicine to her wound when the phone rang. She gritted her teeth; the medicine was already halfway applied. She couldn't stop, to avoid any abnormalities later, so she continued applying it.
The phone kept ringing, and she waited until she finished applying the medicine before picking it up. She didn't need to look; she already knew it was Yan Ruoxi calling.
"Mom!"
"Xi'er, are you busy? Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"
Yan Ruoxi's concerned voice came through. Xiaoli pressed her lips together, suppressing the tingling sensation before speaking, "Oh, I wasn't busy. I just went to the bathroom and didn't bring my phone in."
"Oh, I see!"
