"Big sister, it's me." Ya Xi's voice came through the phone. Shen Qinglan was slightly stunned and looked at the phone; she hadn't expected it to be Ya Xi.
"Ya Xi." Shen Qinglan's voice softened unconsciously, as if afraid to frighten her.
Ya Xi's lips were a bit pale, her hand holding the phone trembling slightly. Her eyes looked confused, seemingly at a loss for what to say.
After a long wait without a response from Ya Xi, a trace of sadness flashed in Shen Qinglan's eyes, and her voice became even gentler, "Ya Xi, have you been well lately?"
"Mm." Ya Xi responded softly, "I'm very fine."
"That's good. Take care of yourself. It's going to get colder in Xueli City, make sure to keep warm and don't catch a cold." Shen Qinglan advised; she usually disliked saying such things, thinking it made her sound like a nagging old woman, but facing Ya Xi, she repeatedly broke her own rules.
