Knowing that it would result in this, knowing that Shangguan Yu couldn't answer the phone now at all, yet hearing those words still brought inevitable pain, and her heart would still ache.
Because she knew, even if Shangguan Yu could answer the call now, even if the phone was right in his hand, he wouldn't pick up.
This is what she was sad about.
Gu Yao didn't have time to be heartbroken, nor did she persist in dialing a second time. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed, not even bothering to wear shoes, heading straight to the window while dialing Gu Li's number.
In fact, the soundproofing of this room was quite good, but Gu Yao, out of psychological concern, went to the window, afraid to let Gu Sheng hear any noise.
The call rang only three times before it was connected, and Gu Li's somewhat weary voice came through.
"Yaoyao?"
"...Big brother."
