Lu Sheng had just opened her eyes in the morning when she saw her phone vibrating beside the pillow—it was a call from Li Muchen.
"Baby, did you wake up?"
The man's voice on the phone was deep and magnetic, only slightly weary probably due to taking an overnight flight and the time difference.
Lu Sheng checked the time and asked on the phone, "Did you just land?"
"I arrived in Suli a few hours ago, now at the hotel," Li Muchen said, "I just thought about your daily routine, figured you'd be waking up about now, so I called you."
After he finished speaking, both fell silent for a few seconds, then almost as if by agreement, they spoke simultaneously.
Lu Sheng straightforwardly said, "I miss you."
The man's voice turned slightly hoarse and alluring: "…I miss you so much."
After speaking, it was as if both could sense each other's emotions through the phone.
