He sighed, thoughts whirling in complex patterns.
Just at that moment.
"Dinglingling."
The ringtone of the mobile phone sounded, slicing through all his thoughts.
Xu Ke picked up the phone.
Recognizing the name, his face showed shock...
Wong Qifu!
Why was she calling at this time?
He hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, Sister Wang."
"Where are you?"
Wong Qifu asked.
Xu Ke scratched his head, "I am at home, why? What's up?"
"The soup was very good."
Ignoring Xu Ke's question, Wong Qifu changed the topic.
Xu Ke paused, "Oh, right..."
Out of the blue, Wong Qifu asked, "Are you angry?"
Xu Ke jumped, "No, why would you think that?"
"Then why aren't you speaking?"
Touching his nose, Xu Ke said, "I'm just, just... erm, you know, a bit tired and can't think of anything to talk about."
He was stammering.
Feeling somewhat guilty.
In his mind, it wasn't so much that he was angry, but rather that he felt downcast because of that look in her eyes.
