"Hey, Meng Ying..."
"Hm? So late and you're still awake? What's up?"
"Nothing, just wanted to chat with you..."
"Chat about Xiaofan?"
"I... sigh, he told me this afternoon that he's leaving for a few days..."
"Hm? And then what? You couldn't sleep over it? Worried that once he leaves, he'll vanish for another year or half?"
"No... I..."
"Stop fooling yourself and me. Don't I know you two? You've always been thinking about him, never forgotten."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up."
"Okay, okay, I won't say another word. So, did he tell you where he's going? When he'll be back?"
"No, I didn't give him a chance to speak..."
"Oh dear, what now? Even if you call me, I have no idea." Chen Mengying said helplessly.
"Yeah, I just wanted to have a chat with you..."
"Oh, I get it. You want me to call and ask for you? Ask Xiaofan where he's going? When he's coming back?"
"I, I... it's not like that, actually, I..."
