Hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Mo Xiaoqing's heart pounded like a drum. She placed her right hand on her chest, took a deep breath, and seemed to be trying to calm her racing heart.
However.
The next second—
"Hello?" came a slightly familiar voice from the other end of the phone.
Mo Xiaoqing's breathing quickened, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Hello?" The voice was cool and slightly distant, completely different from his gentle and warm demeanor that day, as if he were a different person.
Mo Xiaoqing's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she felt a strong urge to back out. Before she could think any further, she had already hung up the phone.
I stared blankly for a moment, watching the screen gradually dim.
She let out a soft breath and touched her slightly burning cheeks.
Thinking back on what I did that day, I felt like a complete lecher.
It will definitely leave a bad impression on him.
I really don't know what to say to him.
If anyone were asked for their contact information on the street, they would hardly have a good impression of themselves anymore, right?
What's more, she had acted impulsively and dialed the number without thinking. Now that she had calmed down, she was covered in cold sweat.
He rubbed his bright red lips gently with his index fingers together for a while, staring blankly at his phone for a long time.
In the end, I gave up the idea of calling that person again.
The song in my headphones is still playing. "All Under Heaven" has finished, and now it's "Longing for You".
The difference is that this version's narration is done by Mu Han herself.
She lowered her hand, rested her chin on her other hand, and listened to the deep, magnetic voice in her headphones. The gentle tone at the end of the voice stirred something within her.
These days, she had nothing to do in the coffee shop, and the thing she did most was listen to his songs. She originally wanted to write, but the clean and bright face of that man kept popping into her mind.
That cool and aloof voice was seven or eight parts similar to Mu Han's.
For some reason, when I listen to Mu Han's voice in my headphones, another cool and handsome profile always unconsciously pops into my mind, and it feels perfectly natural.
No, no.
This can't go on.
Mo Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head, trying to clear her mind. As soon as her fingers touched her face, she was burned by the heat of her cheek and immediately patted her cheek.
Has he gone mad?
She can't forget a complete stranger she's only met once...
If her crown prince found out, he would definitely laugh at her for being a lovesick fool.
However, on the other hand, judging from what she did yesterday, it really did seem a bit like she was infatuated...
To be honest, Mo Xiaoqing has seen quite a few handsome men over the years, if not hundreds or thousands.
Take her current university, University A, for example. As one of the top universities in the country, University A has always had more men than women. The number of men who can be named is already ranked 100 on the campus ranking list.
What's more, there's his own older brother, cousin, and several other cousins. Any one of them standing out would be one in a hundred.
How could I be so easily captivated by that man whose brows seemed gentle but whose heart was actually covered in Arctic ice and snow?
Perhaps it was the ethereal, unattainable aloofness emanating from that man that attracted her...
But her family members aren't bad either!
Mo Xiaoqing thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't find a solution, so she put it aside.
Then I realized that I haven't logged into Weibo in a long time.
After logging in, Mo Xiaoqing posted a brief introduction about the new story.
Within minutes, numerous comments appeared below.
My dearest Mo: You've finally decided to post something? We thought you were about to disappear without a trace.
Failing grades, failing grades...: I'm especially looking forward to Momo's book reaching its climax soon. Don't be afraid to go for the delicate, soft-waisted, and easily pushed-over heroine!
Reading every day: Is Momo not going for the aloof and cool style this time? Judging from the synopsis of the new novel, the female lead's personality is so sweet and adorable, and the interactions between the male and female leads are so loving…
Momo is the cutest: The synopsis looks pretty good, warm and cute, but it feels a bit like a modern story. Didn't Momo say that she didn't have inspiration and didn't write modern stories before she was in a relationship?
Happy Woman: Am I the only one who thinks this description looks like it's all pink?
When Mo Xiaoqing saw this comment, she immediately thought of that handsome face and the obvious composure he exuded, and her face turned red.
Okay, he is indeed quite handsome.
It stirs the heart of the viewer.
She did get the inspiration from the song "Chang Xiang Si" (Longing for Each Other), but as for romance, that was just a myth.
At most, it's just a bit... like opposites attract.
Or perhaps her romantic feelings are so strong that you can sense them even through the internet...
I wonder what that person is doing right now?
When will I see him again...?
Ugh, this kind of longing is such a torment, it's so painful!
—This is the dividing line where Mo Xiaoqing looks forward to meeting Ji Muhan again—
For someone who has been sitting on the sofa in the office, legs crossed, swinging back and forth for nearly two hours.
On his tenth sigh.
Ji Muhan finally finished the video conference, pinched the bridge of her nose, and a hint of fatigue showed between her brows. Then, she barely spared a glance at the person who had been pretending to be dead on the sofa for almost the entire afternoon, and asked coolly, "What, no surgeries today?"
"Yes, but I took a day off in lieu of my usual schedule."
After Li Chuan finished speaking, he sighed again.
This life is so damn boring!
“Eleven times.” Ji Muhan glanced at him before speaking calmly and unhurriedly.
Li Chuan was clearly out of it, looking at him blankly, "Huh?"
"Don't you usually go to A University when you take time off? Why are you here lamenting your fate?" Ji Muhan didn't explain. She leisurely stood up, made herself a cup of coffee, and then remembered the corpse pretending to be dead on the sofa. She unusually showed kindness and asked, "Want a cup?"
"No, thank you." Li Chuan refused verbally with a mournful face, but his body language betrayed him as he reached out to take it.
However, reality is not like that...
"Oh," Ji Muhan replied indifferently.
Whether she didn't understand the subtext in Li Chuan's eyes, or she understood it but it was just a question with the intended meaning, it really didn't go on...
"..."
Damn it, doesn't he know what politeness is?
Oh my god! I didn't see that he was in a bad mood.
That cold-blooded animal has no compassion at all. Damn it, that guy really made a bad choice in friends!
"By the way, did A University invite you to give a lecture at their opening ceremony in a couple of days?" Li Chuan suddenly remembered and quickly asked.
"It depends." Ji Muhan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring his pupils, making them unreadable and revealing no change in his emotions. After a moment, he looked up and changed the subject with a nonchalant expression, "Where is your little cousin?"
