On the other end of the phone, Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. There seemed to be someone talking next to him. It sounded like a woman.
That woman was calling him Ken.
Ken, is that Xu Chengfengâs English name?
However, the key point now was not his English name. It was already past six in the morning, and there was a woman beside him. Why was she calling him so affectionately?
All sorts of ambiguous scenes flashed through Zuo Yueâs mind. She also wondered what Xu Chengfeng had gone out to do after leaving overnight last nightâ¦
He should have a girlfriend, right? If he had a girlfriend, he should have a normal life with her. Although he promised to take care of her, there was indeed no need for him to stay here to accompany her.
Zuo Yue was suddenly depressed because of these thoughts. She was so depressed that she did not even want to listen to Xu Chengfengâs answer. She directly picked up the bread and took another bite.
Xu Chengfeng was talking to the person on the other end of the phone. A moment later, his voice came clearly from the phone.âI just arrived in New York and I have something to do. Remember to eat breakfast. If youâre suffering from a hangover, take a pill to relieve it.â
âNew York?â Zuo Yueâs eyes paused.â
He calculated the time she slept last night and looked at the time now. That meant that he had been in the car since he left last night and did not have any so-called girlfriendâ¦
So who was the person speaking next to him? If she was just a secretary, she wouldnât have called him so affectionately.
But no matter what, her uncle was only busy with something and did not leave her at home to accompany his girlfriend. This kind of invisible answer made Zuo Yue feel much better.
âUncle, you must be very tired after rushing for a few hours.â
âItâs alright.â Xu Chengfeng let out a faint sigh. It was obvious that he was a little tired.
âThen you should be busy with your things, or you should rest. Iâll go to school after breakfast.ââAh, and, Uncle, are you staying in New York today?â Zuo Yue asked. Arenât you coming back tonight?â
âNot necessarily.â
âOhâ¦â Zuo Yue immediately started to feel disappointed again.ââI thought you could stay at home for a few more days this time.â
The other party suddenly fell silent.
Xu Chengfeng seemed to have noticed the sudden change in her attitude. She did not know if he was not used to it or did not want to get too close to her, but he did not say anything else.
âUncle, you can go ahead with your work. Iâm hanging up.âZuo Yue said softly.
âYes.â In the end, Xu Chengfeng only responded with a faint voice.
Zuo Yue hung up the phone and placed it on the dining table. She held her chin in one hand and a half-eaten piece of bread in the other.
Suddenly, he let out a long sigh.
No matter what, at least her uncle did not hate her for calling, and he did not remind her not to bother him unless it was important.
At least this proved that Uncle did not hate her as much as before.
Zuo Yueâs mood improved again. This fluctuating mood made her feel a little strange, but she still happily ate a few pieces of bread and got up to clear the table. She hummed a song as she wondered if her uncle would come back tonight.
Ken, Kenâ¦
Feeling that this name was more suitable, Zuo Yue cleaned up the cutlery and returned to the dining table. She picked up her phone and took out Xu Chengfengâs number.
Because Xu Chengfeng had saved this number with her phone, the name was Xu Chengfeng. It was not Uncle or any other nickname. It was simply Xu Chengfeng.
Zuo Yue changed his name and added the three letters âKenâ at the end.
Then, he stared at the three letters and felt more and more familiar. The more he looked at them, the better his mood became.
Hehe!

âZuo Yue, are you really in love with Brother Ruisheng?â
âNoâ¦â
After Zuo Yue asked this question in school, she looked at her in confusion,ââYou and Julie didnât take it seriously, did you? I only met Yin Ruisheng in the pastâ¦â
âWho are you lying to? You even secretly took out your phone to look at it during Professor Shiruiâs class this morning. You were smiling as you looked at it. Youâre obviously in love.âVina rolled her eyes at her.â Professor Shiruiâs class has always been your favorite. Youâre always so serious. But today, youâve been looking at your phone the whole time.ââ
Zuo Yue was stunned.â
âYes!â Julie also came over.â Youâre really smiling. Anyone would believe that youâre in love!â Tell me quickly, how did you manage to trick Brother Rui Sheng? I didnât see much interaction between the two of you yesterday. You just went to sit by the side for a while and you progressed so quickly?â
Zuo Yueâs lips twitched.â Yin Ruisheng and I are really not what you think. Besides, I donât even have his phone number. How can I laugh just because Iâm chatting with him on my phone?ââ
âWho else could it be but Brother Ruisheng?â
Zuo Yueâs mouth moved, but she could not answer.
In the morning, during Professor Shiruiâs class, she saw a student with a cute little doll in her bag. It was a very popular doll this year, but because it had just been released, it could only be bought in New York and Washington.
Therefore, she decided to send him a message on the spur of the moment. She was also curious if her uncle had been resting at that time.
She asked him if he could help her buy that doll when he came back.
Although she only received Xu Chengfengâs reply after a few minutes, she was already excited that he would reply to such a boring message.
She also saw his concise answer,âOkay.ââWhen he heard this word, Zuo Yuexue held his phone and was happy for a long time.
So what Julie and Vina saw was probably the scene of her holding her phone and smilingâ¦
She just felt that her uncle really did not hate her anymore, so she was in a particularly good mood. How could others suspect that she was in love?
âNo one. I just asked someone to bring something back for me. He agreed, so I was very happy at that time.âZuo Yue explained casually.
âWhat are you bringing?â Julie and Viena were curious.
Before Zuo Yue could reply, the phone in Zuo Yueyiâs pocket suddenly vibrated. She picked up the phone and glanced at it. She was shocked to see that it was a picture message from Xu Chengfeng. She immediately opened it with a curious expression.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the end, she saw the doll section in the New York store. There were all kinds of dolls, but the colors were different.
Below the picture was Xu Chengfengâs words: âWhat color do you want?â
Zuo Yue immediately replied,[You went to buy it for me so quickly?]â
âI just passed by and saw this shop.â
âAh, blue then! I like the blue one!â
After a while, the other party replied,[I bought all seven colors. You can go back and pick them yourself.]â
