This realization made her heart ache, and tears rolled down again. Then, her fingers holding the phone trembled so much that she could barely hold onto it...
Choking up, not able to utter a single word!
Only heavy breathing, accompanied by faint sobs, traveled across the wireless waves, reaching the other side of the ocean...
"Who's there?"
The clear and gentle voice, with his distinctive accent from Country Y, Nie Mingfeng's Mandarin wasn't exactly standard, yet that deliberate tone sent a shiver down Su Ling's spine...
She really wanted to say, it's me!
But every time she opened her mouth, she choked up, not wanting him to hear her sobs. Su Ling kept holding back, kept holding back, but her silence seemed to irritate the other person. She heard him say indifferently, "Speak, or I'm hanging up..."
She panicked and quickly said, "Don't hang up... it's me!"
"..."
