Xu Xiaoya is even more reliable than her boyfriend; almost every day there's a text or a call. Without her, neither of them has many close friends, always afraid that if they don't keep in touch, something might happen unexpectedly, and there'd be no one to call for help.
"Xixi, are you really going to attend the graduation ceremony alone tomorrow? Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have come..."
She had offered to come, but Yan Xixi declined.
Because Xu's mom had just been discharged after a serious illness and hadn't fully recovered, Xu Xiaoya herself was exhausted. Such a long journey was clearly unrealistic.
"Don't worry, I'll be back home soon."
"Alright, I'll pick you up then. By the way, I've received all the gifts you sent me; you bought too many. Please don't bring any gifts when you return; they're too heavy and hard to carry."
She asked slowly, "Xiaoya, is everything okay back home? How about Huang Xiaojue, is he alright?"
