Chapter 220: Jian Si Confesses to Lu Youting

The next day.

Even though Jian Si had taken cold medicine, her symptoms had only gotten worse.

Although she no longer had a fever, she was afflicted with a stuffy nose, a sore throat, sneezing fits, and an all-over feeling of weakness. She felt drowsy and as if she were walking on cotton, light and unsteady.

Despite all this, she still forced herself to get out of bed.

She went to a shopping mall first, bought a new cell phone, got a new SIM card, and then dialed that all-too-familiar phone number.

When she first saved this number in her phone, it was etched into the very core of her heart and never forgotten.

The phone rang on and on, with no answer.

Her heart kept sinking lower and lower.

Until a robotic female voice on the other end said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Jian Si was not ready to give up and dialed again.

This time too, the ring went on for a long time.

Still, no answer.
