The silence lasted for three minutes.
The vibration of the cell phone sounded louder than ever in this silence.
Gu Qingjiu took her cell phone out and realized that the call was from Qi Yuefeng.
Seeing that her mother called, her mood turned for the better and the edges of her mouth curled up into a smile. She answered, "Mom."
When she talked to Qi Yuefeng, her voice softened a lot, making her sound gentler than usual.
"Qingjiu."
Qi Yuefeng's voice was neither high nor low. It didn't sound like she was happy, but it didn't sound like she was unhappy either.
"Hm?"
"What are you doing right now?"
When she asked about what Gu Qingjiu was doing, the tone of her voice seemed to soften.
Gu Qingjiu smiled as she answered, "What else can I do in the camp? I'm just fiddling with my phone and daydreaming. Mom, is there a reason you called?"
Qi Yuefeng replied, "It's nothing. I've missed you, so I called you."
