"Honey, why don't you pick up my calls? I know you're mad at me, it's all my fault, I hurt you, even now... I just worry about your health, I've hurt your body once, I don't want to hurt it a second time. Can you understand?"
"Honey, please come home as soon as you're done with work. I'm the only one at home and this massive apartment feels so cold and lonely. I'm a bit scared."
...
Ling Fei sent several WeChat messages, her voice sounding coquettish and sweet, almost inconveniencing herself.
After finishing, she tossed her phone aside, rubbed her arms to warm up, and closed her eyes.
A little while later, she couldn't resist and reopened her eyes.
She picked up her phone to check it.
Song Tian Mo did not respond to her messages.
She checked multiple times and wasted over an hour waiting for a reply from Song Tian Mo. Ling Fei dejectedly fell asleep.
The next morning, the first thing she did when she woke up was to check her phone.
