She Must Be Sick

After a few rings, the other party picked up.

The girl's soft and sweet voice sounded a little surprised. "Qiao Chen, is that you?"

"Mm, it's me." Qiao Chen looked at the time on his wrist and looked at the darkening sky.

He kept quiet for a while before asking softly, "Shen Xin, you… are not coming tonight?"

Shen Xin was silent for a while before replying, "Today is your 18th birthday, so I have to attend your birthday party no matter what. But something happened to me, so I can't go.

"I'm sorry, Qiao Chen." Shen Xin coughed a few times.

Her voice sounded a little hoarse and different from usual.

Qiao Chen pursed his lips and suddenly felt disappointed.

But when he spoke, his tone didn't reveal any abnormality. "Is that so? I just felt like I didn't see you tonight, so I called to ask. Since you have something on, then go on. I'm hanging up."

"Mm. Happy birthday, Qiao Chen." Shen Xin coughed a few times as she spoke.
