Xi Xinrui looked at the time on her phone and said, "...it's getting late. You'll be ready to rest in a little while."
…
"oh oh."
Xi Xinrui looked obedient on the outside, but she was retorting in her heart.
How late is it?
It's only after eight o'clock...
Sometimes my brother’s thinking is really old-fashioned, like that of his grandfather’s generation…
…
Xi Xinrui waited for her sister to hang up the phone.
He's used to doing this.
Ever since he hung up the phone too quickly and was complained about by his sister who called again soon after, he never hung up the phone first with his sister again.
…
"ah!"
Xi Xinrui's heart skipped a beat when she heard Xi Xinrui's scream coming from the receiver.
He asked hurriedly.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?!"
"What happened?"
"Xiaorui?!"
…
"…..fine."
A few seconds later, Xi Xinrui's voice came over again.
…
Xi Xinrui poked the head of her pet snake with her finger.
…
"Then what was your name just now?"
Xi Xinrui was somewhat doubtful of her sister's words.
Something must have happened.
…
Well……
Xi Xinrui tugged on the pet snake's tail.
He had a somewhat vicious look on his face.
It's all your fault...
Originally she didn't want to say it, but since her brother specifically asked...
"Ahem~"
Xi Xinrui was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's nothing."
"I just didn't notice it..."
"Pine cones crawled down my wrist."
"I almost sat on it just now."
"Scared me..."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and avoided the pine cone with a difficult maneuver.
Let Song Guo avoid the bad luck of being overwhelmed by her mountain.
…
That's right.
Xi Xinrui suddenly realized.
The worry on his face faded.
He knew that Pinecone was the name of one of his sister's pet snakes.
Because my sister thought the color of the snake looked like a pine cone, she gave the snake this name.
The name is quite cute.
If only this adorable name wasn't for a snake...
Even better.
…
Xi Xinrui did not put away her phone.
He looked at the screensaver on his phone.
His fingers wandered over the address book.
He was hesitating whether to call Xiao Xiao, the owner of White Snake, now?
His eyes moved upward and focused on the time.
For my sister who is a high school student, it is almost time to go to bed.
But for college students…
There is still a lot of time to "squander".
…
Unless there are special circumstances, most college students basically don’t go to bed until lights out.
It is not necessary to just close your eyes and sleep.
Maybe you have to sit in bed with your eyes open and chat away from home for a while, and then the sound of deep sleeping breathing slowly sounds in the room.
…
Xi Xinrui knew that at this time, the other party must not be resting.
…
never mind.
After hesitating for a long time, Xi Xinrui gave up the plan of calling the other party at this time.
…
It's a little late.
Besides, this matter is not so urgent that I can't afford to wait all night.
…
The next day, Xi Xinrui struggled for a while and finally decided to call the owner of White Snake during lunch break.
The phone rang for a long time.
No one ever answered the phone.
Xi Xinrui frowned.
He looked at the time.
Now at this time...
Could it be that Xiao Xiao was eating out?
Was the surrounding environment too noisy for him to hear the incoming call?
Xi Xinrui took a deep breath.
He pressed Dial again.
…
Xi Xinrui waited until the phone automatically hung up again.
He pursed his lips.
He didn't expect...
Before making the call, he had been worrying about the time to call, and how to tell Xiao Xiao that his sister wanted to see him...
He never expected...
He thought that as long as he dialed the other party's phone number, everything would fall into place and the dust would settle...
As a result, he encountered unexpected problems again.
The other party doesn't answer the phone.
…
The other party doesn't answer the phone?
The other party didn't answer the phone?
Xi Xinrui didn't know what expression to put on for a moment?
Why?
Xi Xinrui was puzzled.
As he guessed before, the other party didn't hear the ringtone because he was in a noisy environment?
Or is the phone not with the other party at all at this time?
It couldn't be that the other party didn't answer on purpose, right?
Xi Xinrui was startled by the idea that suddenly popped into his head.
Why.
etc……
Will not……
They just exchanged contacts yesterday -
Well……
Xi Xinrui reached out and knocked on his head.
Yesterday, he wrote down Xiao Xiao's contact information.
But the other party...
Xi Xinrui pressed his head hard.
The picture at that time gradually became clear in his mind.
After all, it only happened yesterday.
…
At that time...did Xiao Xiao not write down his contact information?
It seems like I just gave him my contact information.
I also heard what he said.
He thought that when he said it, the other party should have written it down.
…
Now it seems……
Does the other party not know that this number belongs to him?
Do you think it is some kind of spam advertising call?
But as far as he is concerned, even if it is an unknown number, as long as the other party calls twice, he will still answer the call.
What if it's an important call?
…
Xi Xinrui took a deep breath.
He dialed the other party's phone number again.
He didn't believe it.
…
Xiao Xiao made tea.
He reached for the cell phone on the table.
really.
It shows three missed calls.
They're all the same number.
This number -
The phone screen changes to the incoming call screen.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The fourth call came.
…
He answered the phone.
"Hello."
…
Um?
It wasn't until a boy's voice came from the phone that Xi Xinrui suddenly didn't know when the call had been connected.
"Hello!"
He spoke hastily.
I was afraid that people would think it was a prank call and hang up.
"I'm Xi Xinrui."
Boys report their family status.
I felt a little uneasy.
We just met yesterday, the other party wouldn't forget him so quickly, right?
…
"I know."
Xiao Xiao slightly curved the corners of his mouth.
"Hello."
…
he knows……
Xi Xinrui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello."
He was a little stumbling.
"Ahem~"
He touched his neck.
Express dissatisfaction with his panicked performance.
People remember him.
What are you so nervous about?
…
Xi Xinrui finally calmed down.
He smiled sheepishly.
"Hello, Xiao Xiao."
He said hello again.
Compared with the slightly flustered greeting before, this time the greeting was smooth and smooth.
"There is one thing I want to ask of you..."
"I hope you can promise me."
Xi Xinrui got straight to the point.
I struggled for so long to get through this phone call, and then I behaved a bit embarrassingly.
He couldn't think of anything to say.
Then just tell me the purpose of making this call.
