During lunch break, Yu Xiao'ai finished her meal and found a quiet spot to call Guo Jinchen.
"Have you eaten?" she asked.
Her face felt like it was burning, her heart was pounding, and even her voice felt tight.
Her state of mind had changed, making even a simple phone call nerve-wracking.
"Yeah, just finished," Guo Jinchen answered carelessly.
"Did the doctor say anything during the morning rounds?"
"Just to focus on resting and recovering."
"Oh…" Yu Xiao'ai listened to the sounds of a game coming through the phone and felt a tinge of disappointment.
Guo Jinchen remained silent for a while. All she could hear was the game's noise. After a short moment, Yu Xiao'ai said softly, "Alright, I'll hang up then."
"Yeah, hang up, hang up. Bye." Guo Jinchen hurriedly said and immediately ended the call.
Yu Xiao'ai stared helplessly at her phone, letting out a long sigh.
