In his groggy state, Shen Yuan pinpointed the location of his phone.
After answering the call, Shen Yuan mumbled into the phone, his voice heavy with sleep, "Hello?"
"Shen Yuan,"
Li Zhi's voice came from the other end, a little lower than usual.
With a hint of barely-there nervousness and a deliberately maintained calm, the beautiful girl continued, "Dinner's ready. Come over and eat."
With that, Li Zhi swiftly hung up.
The room fell silent again, leaving Shen Yuan lying under the covers that still held her warmth and sweet scent.
The silence after she hung up jolted Shen Yuan wide awake.
Almost at the same moment, he realized with a start that he was hugging the comforter tightly, as if it were something precious.
Shen Yuan snatched his hands back as if he'd been shocked and quickly got out of bed.
After scratching his head, Shen Yuan went to the bathroom to wash his face, then grabbed his schoolbag and headed to Li Zhi's house.
