"It's me, Zhiyou." She quickly spoke up, the call was on speakerphone and Yang Mogui was listening next to her.
There was a moment of delay before a "Hmm" came from the other end, the tone was calm, as though they were listening to a piece of irrelevant social news.
Lu Weixi didn't mind, she asked first: "Are you coming back tonight?"
There was a slight pause in his breathing on the other end, but she couldn't see his face through the phone. She couldn't tell if he was frowning or pursing his lips. After a while, he asked in a somewhat serious tone, "Why are you asking this? Do you want me to come back?"
Lu Weixi naturally nodded: "Yes, I do."
There was a prolonged silence on the other end. Lu Weixi waited for a while. Yang Mogui beside her seemed to have grown impatient. The voice on the other end seemed somewhat unsteady. She guessed that Qin Zhiyou was about to curse. Quickly, she brought Yang Mogui into the conversation, "Of course, mom misses you too."
