The person outside the door apparently heard the ringtone of the phone, causing the motion of turning the door handle to suddenly stop.
Xia Wan’an, having been on edge the entire ti, blindly answered the call without checking the caller ID.
She held the phone to her ear, and even before she could say ’Hello,’ a familiar voice was heard from the other side, "Why are you still awake so late?"
Han Jingnian’s voice was a bit hoarse as if he was slept and was woken up by her. His voice seed particularly enticing in the middle of the night.
However, Xia Wan’an did not dwell in this attraction for long as she quickly regained her senses, drew out a long ’hmm’, and made up a reason the person outside would not understand: "I can’t sleep, I kind of miss my body pillow."
After those words, Xia Wan’an’s face involuntarily burned up. But at the bottom of her heart, she was grateful that she made this joke with Han Jingnian in the afternoon, or else she really wouldn’t know how to hint to Han Jingnian that she wanted him to co over right away.
Han Jingnian on the other end of the phone: "..."
Xia Wan’an waited for a while, seeing that Han Jingnian did not respond, thinking that he didn’t understand, she spoke again: "I should have hugged my body pillow this afternoon while I was at the company..."
Xia Wan’an rolled her eyes, afraid that Han Jingnian still didn’t get her hint, she bit her lip and abandoned her girl’s reserve, throwing out a stronger hint: "...I really regret it. I should have brought my body pillow ho from work. Now I miss it so much I can’t sleep..."
"Cough cough," a coughing sound which seed like soone was choking ca from the other end of the phone.
But following that, she heard a rustling sound, like Han Jingnian was getting out of bed and dressing up.
Xia Wan’an was afraid she might have heard wrong, so she called out, "Hello?".
"I’m here..." Han Jingnian’s tone was sowhat light, probably because the phone was placed sowhere and the volu was rather low due to the distance from the microphone.
Xia Wan’an instinctively opened her mouth, but before she could utter a sound of understanding, Han Jingnian spoke again. This ti his voice was much clearer: "Wait for ."
Xia Wan’an was inexplicably moved by the remark, and her startled heart cald down a lot.
Thank goodness, Han Jingnian figured it out. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how to hint to him next.
As the "ding" sound from the elevator rang from the phone, Han Jingnian’s voice once again reached Xia Wan’an’s ear, "I’ll drive first."
Xia Wan’an knew he was about to hang up, so to avoid arousing suspicion from the person outside, she only lightly responded with an ’Mm’. After hanging up first, she then said aloud, "Forget it. I won’t chat with you anymore. If you drank too much, go ho and sleep. However much I talk, my body pillow can’t possibly fly from the company to my house..."
After saying that, Xia Wan’an even pretended to say "Bye."
The room beca even quieter without any voices. Xia Wan’an was carefully listening to the situation outside the door, but she still couldn’t notice any sound.
This eerie-like quietness only further agitated her uneasy heart.
Ti at this mont felt extrely slow. The short five minutes felt as if it was a century long to her.
