Bigger Than They Thought

Ever since Helian Wei had taught Jing Ruyue how to use the phone, she never even called him once because they were always together all the time.

"Hurry up and answer it! Mom must be missing you too," Jing Xi smiled.

Helian Wei answered the phone with a smile. "Hello. Yue'er?"

"Feng… Where are you?" Jing Ruyue panted on the other side of the phone. "Please, come back… Fast…"

"What's wrong?"

Helian Wei could hear something was wrong with his wife.

"The castle… It's on fire… I can't get out…" Jing Ruyue coughed.

The Moon Castle is on fire? She's trapped? Helian Wei could not believe it.

"Wait for me! I'm coming back right now!"

Helian Wei tried to keep the call connected, but it was cut.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Jing Xi could hear something terrible was happening.

"The castle is on fire! Your mom's trapped in it!"

"What? Wait, calm down! I'll call the emergency services first!"
