"I ran into some friends downstairs just now; they were talking, so I came up to rest first."
"Oh, when are you guys returning home?"
Ran Tong said, "Our plane is tomorrow afternoon."
So soon? Ran Yu nodded her head, then carried Lu Xiaoqian to the crib and placed the phone on the pillow for him to watch.
Lu Xiaoqian lay on his stomach like a frog, staring with big eyes and sticking up his little butt, and started a nearly half-hour overseas video call with his mom.
Until someone seemed to knock on the door over there—it must have been Lu Nancheng returning—Ran Tong hung up the call, and then...
As soon as his mom disappeared from the screen, Lu Xiaoqian burst into tears with a loud "wah".
Ran Yu was stressed and quickly got up to hold him and continue to comfort him.
Lu Xiaoqian cried so hard, grabbing onto her hair and calling "mama" over and over, until at last, whether out of exhaustion or genuine sleepiness, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.
