  “Pei Ge…… I’m missing you already.”


  A low and clear male voice came through the phone. His pleasing voice was so heartfelt that the love and devotion in it was obvious.

  Her frustration quickly ebbed away at this, only leaving behind bliss and joy.

  “Ziming, I miss you, too. Very, very much……”


  The smile on her lips was filled with bliss.

  Even if he was neither her first love nor the first man she had dated, she realized that, other than her parents, he was the one whom she cared for the most.

  He was probably also the only man she would love the most in this lifetime.

  “I really can’t get used to coming to a home without you…… Ha ha!” She tightened her grip around her phone and laughed.

  “.…… I feel the same way,” he said softly.

  Her heart melted at this.

  “Tianjin isn’t very far from Beijing, so I think tomorrow I’ll just—”


  With the two cities not being far apart, he reckoned that traveling back and forth daily would not be much of a hassle.

  Alas, before he could finish, she disagreed.

  “How is this not far? You should stop adding troubles to yourself!”


  She got what he meant, but although she wanted to be by his side, too, she did not want him to suffer just because of her.

  Even if this city she was in was not very far from the capital, traveling between the two cities every day was still very tiring.

  “Just relax there; once I’m done dealing with Jiaheng’s big project, I will come back right away! No need to rush over here!”


  Although the man was still a little reluctant, he did not insist on it and just hummed in acquiescence.

  “If you miss me, you can message me anytime!” She grinned.

  “Okay,” he softly replied.

  “But although I’m not by your side, you can’t get close to other women behind my back, especially that Yunyun!” Her eyeballs turned in their sockets threateningly as she thought of his benefactor.

  “.…… I won’t.” He helplessly paused for a moment. “Other than you, I won’t like anyone else.”


  This short reply sounded so simple, but to her, it conveyed what she wanted to hear.

  Her heart was filled with satisfaction as she smilingly muttered, “Tsk! Glib-tongued! Okay, okay! It’s late already, so let’s end today. We still have work tomorrow.”


  When she saw the time, she hastily told the man this.

  Alas, the man did not show any intention of hanging up.

  “I still want to hear your voice a little……” he lightly muttered, his voice filled with unwillingness.

  “Calling isn’t free! Be obedient and go to sleep!”


  Although she was happy to hear him say that, when she thought of what the phone bill would be, she resolutely told him to hang up.

  “I’ll pay the phone bill, so don’t hang up,” he domineeringly ordered.

  She only found it to be very amusing and thought,

  “Wasteful!” She pouted.

  “Nothing is wasteful if it’s related to you.” The man chuckled as he continued spouting such romantic words.

  “.…… I find that you’re getting better at cajoling. Don’t hang out all the time with that Mu Heng.”


  She felt her heart skip a beat and throbbed incessantly at his words.

  “What has this got to do with him?”


  “Of course, it has! You must’ve acquired his bad habit!”


  “.…… Nothing to do with him.”


  “Tsk!”
……

  The happily two talked about random stuff with their phones plastered to their ears.

  Eventually, she fell asleep at the rumbling of his voice.

  ”

  ”


  Her even breathing came through the phone and traveled to his ear.

  This made his lips curl up.

  “Good night……”


  Lulled by her soft breathing, he also drifted into sleep with a smile on his lips.

  None of them hung up as they slept with the sound of each other’s breathing.

  Their breaths intertwined in their sleep, making it seem as if they were embracing together in one bed.

  At the first rays of the morning sun, the woman woke up to the realization that the call last night had not been hung up.

  When she lifted her phone, she felt that it was a little hot.

  “Ah!” she exclaimed in shock. Before she could make another sound, a clear voice came through the phone.

  “Pei Ge, good morning.”


  Probably due to him having just awakened as well, the man’s cold and low voice was a little hoarse.

  This voice chased away the last vestige of her sleepiness.

  “Good morning, Ziming!”


  “I’m hanging up now, okay? My phone’s hot!”


  “Mhm……”


  “Then, I’ll hang up now! Let’s contact each other later!”


  At that, she hung up the call and crawled out of bed to the washroom.

  She stood in front of the wash basin and looked at herself in the mirror. After slightly patting her cheeks, she smiled and said, “Pei Ge, you must settle Jiaheng’s business fast! That way, you can go back earlier and bed Ziming!”


  “Wuuu!” She suddenly frowned. “Also, what if you’re not there, and that Yunyun takes this opportunity to cut in? This can’t do!”
