This farewell lasted for more than twenty days. As the final exams were approaching, Shi Yao spent every single day immersed in her textbooks, so she didn't feel that life was too difficult. It wasn't until December 23rd that she received an unfamiliar phone call.
Looking at the phone number, Shi Yao's first instinct was that it was a scam or a sales call, so she instinctively chose to ignore it.
However, five seconds after she hung up, her phone screen lit up once more.
Are all scammers and salesmen so diligent these days?
Shi Yao stared at the flickering screen for a moment, and seeing that the call was still coming, she pressed the answer button.
Unsure of the other party's identity, Shi Yao weakly replied with a 'hello', but she didn't reveal her identity.
After a few seconds of silence, a gentle female voice sounded, "Excuse me, are you Miss Shi Yao?"
"Yes... And you are?"
