I Miss You So, So Much (7)

Mu Xiaoxiao pondered. She thought she'd better give William a call. Perhaps he would know where Xiaomeng was.

The ringtone rang for a while before the call was connected.

William's voice was unclear, and hoarse, sounding as though he hadn't woken up yet.

Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Shouldn't it be noon in America at this time? Why was he still sleeping?

"William, it's me, Xiaoxiao. Is it convenient to talk now?" she asked.

"Xiaoxiao? What's up?" William's voice had a heavy nasally sound. He seemed to be talking to someone else in a soft voice.

Mu Xiaoxiao heard another male voice.

"You're still at it? Stop leaning over here. Go away!"

William's voice seemed a little unpleasant. There were noises of bodies slapping together. People not in the know might even think that there might be some fighting going on.
