She thought that he wouldnât answer her or evade the subject.
However, she then heard him say in a low voice, âYes, Iâm very worried about her.â
Han Qiqing didnât expect him to admit it so openly. Her heart jolted and felt awful as if it were being clutched tightly.
There was silence for a while. She said nothing, and Lu Yichen didnât continue to ask questions.
Han Qiqing finally snapped out of it, and she said in an awkward cadence, âYou donât have to worry now. Xiaoxiao seems to have recovered her memory. She is not injured. All is well.â
âLu Yichen,â she suddenly called.
He said, âOkay, itâs good that sheâs alright. Itâs not convenient for me to go back and visit her now. If you see Xiaoxiao, say hello to her for me. Thanks.â
But she might not have been listening as she called his name again, âLu Yichenâ¦â
This time, Lu Yichen took notice. âIs anything the matter?â
âYouâ¦â Han Qiqing mumbled, suddenly nervous, wondering whether she should continue talking to him.
âIf thereâs anything you want to talk about, go ahead,â he said thoughtfully.
Initially, Han Qiqing had only wanted to say his name. She only wanted to say his name and have him respond to her. That was all she wanted.
But Han Qiqing hesitated and said, âHow⦠are you doing in America? And how is Auntie? Whenâ¦â
When will you be coming back?
She was afraid to finish the sentence.
Lu Yichen replied tepidly, âYeah, Iâm fine. My motherâs situation is also pretty good. Thank you. Well, itâs already late. I donât want to disturb your rest any longer. See you.â
âWait!â Han Qiqing quickly called out. She didnât want him to hang up so soon.
She hadnât seen him for a while. Even if she could only hear his voice, it was already enough to satisfy her longing for him.
Luckily, Lu Yichen heard her and didnât hang up, asking âIs there anything else you want to talk about?â
âIâ¦â Han Qiqingâs eyes darted as she frantically searched for an excuse to chat with him longer.
âDidnât you ask me how Xiaoxiao lost her memory? Itâs becauseâ¦â
Although she didnât know the details of what happened, she had a general idea. When it came to Su Linâs crazy behavior, she recounted it very vividly.
âThough Xiaoxiao lost her memory, she didnât seem very different from before. Itâs just that she didnât remember us.â
âCome to think of it, itâs strange how Xiaoxiao didnât remember any of us, but she only remembered Yin Shaojie. Do you think⦠itâs because of true love?â
âHowever, Xiaoxiao was at loggerheads with Yin Shaojie today, so she came to find me and confided in meâ¦â
âDonât you think she is silly? She doesnât even know if she loves Yin Shaojie. The way I see it, she seems like she canât do without Yin Shaojie.â
âThey have been very close since they were young. No matter what others tried to get between them, it always failed.â
Han Qiqing rambled on. When she stopped, she realized that there was no sound on the other end.
Could he have gotten impatient and hung up already?
Han Qiqing felt a little dejected. She said into the phone, âLu Yichen, are you still there?â
Lu Yichen said with a calm and pleasant voice, âYeah. Do you still want to continue? If thereâs nothing else, then I have to attend to some things.â
