"I can't say it's unrelated, it's exactly the same," Yu Longting concluded, and seeing my face flash with worry, he said, "If you're that concerned, you could give your mom a call."
"Ours... ours... um..." In the end, I just couldn't bring myself to repeat the word Yu Longting had used.
It seemed to be the first time he had referred to my mom in that way.
Given Yu Longting's typically unapproachable nature, it didn't seem like something he would do...
My face flushed as I called my mom, "Mom, it's Wanwan, are you okay?"
"Don't misunderstand, your mom left her phone in the outer hall, so I came out to help answer it," came a steady and gentle voice from the other end.
I clutched the phone, frozen for a full three seconds, "Oh, it's nothing; it's just that I called at a bad time, my mom... she's still sleeping... right?"
At this time of day, just past five in the morning, my mom was definitely asleep.
"Yes, Wanwan... do you have an emergency?" Zhang Che asked worriedly.
