Yu Minglang had the phone crooked in his neck, his hands busy. His beloved Mei's sweet voice came through the receiver.
The two were casually chatting about everyday things, with no particular subject in mind. This was Minglang's favorite way to relax. No matter how busy or tired he was, hearing her voice always lifted his spirits.
"Fugui came over?"
"Yeah, but sadly, he was a step too late. Watching him makes me want to play a tune: 'Too bad it wasn't you, who kept me company till the end~'. Qian looked through the balcony glass at Comrade Liao Fugui, who was engrossed in watching Liumei arrange the sandbox.
Appearance-wise, these two actually give off a bit of a complementary couple vibe, but unfortunately, her stepbrother was a step too late.
"Qian, you better not be having a fling while I'm away. Since when did things reignite with Fugui?" Yu Minglang's brush paused, and he felt completely out of sorts.
"What are you talking about? What reignite?"
