The call connected quickly, and Lin Qingya's voice came through:
"So, my dad just asked me to check on you. How are you feeling? Has the fever gone down?"
Her voice lacked its usual frostiness, and her tone carried a touch of concern.
Han Yu knew she was too embarrassed to express concern herself, so she pretended it was her father asking. He didn't plan on exposing her lie and went along with it, saying, "Please thank Uncle for his concern. The fever broke last night, and I'm feeling quite good now."
"The apples Uncle brought were delicious. I just had two this morning."
Hearing Han Yu had eaten two apples, Lin Qingya's hanging heart finally came to rest. "That's good, I have a meeting to attend to, so I'll go. Take care of yourself and eat well."
"Mm, save the receipt, I'll reimburse you."
Reimburse?
Is this girl for real?
Han Yu shook his head repeatedly with a smile and said, "Sure, I'll go have the twenty-five yuan beef noodles in a bit."
