Despite being disappointed about being stood up, Chu Liangxia didn't dwell too much on it.
But—
What she never expected was that by afternoon, Feng Ziheng would call to say he wouldn't be returning for two days and that he needed to stay at the military academy.
Hearing the tiredness in his voice, Chu Liangxia couldn't bear to blame him. "Are you very tired?"
"Not tired," Feng Ziheng answered, his voice less weary.
Upon hearing that, Chu Liangxia's heart ached uncontrollably.
So, she asked tentatively, "Will you still have time to call me?"
"I'll call you whenever I have a moment."
"Okay," Chu Liangxia nodded on the other end of the line, "then continue with your work."
"Mm, make sure to eat well."
"Alright, you too remember to eat."
Fearing she might disturb Feng Ziheng, Chu Liangxia reluctantly ended the call in a timely manner.
As soon as she set down her phone, Chu Liangxia embraced a pillow and flopped onto the sofa.
Why... did she miss him so much?
