Who called?
Upon hearing the bell, Luo Li sidled up to Xiao Youzi and peered inside.
"I don't know." Shaking her head, Xiaoyouzi washed her hands, wiped her little paws on her clothes, and then took out her phone from her bag.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar phone number.
"0? That's a virtual number, isn't it?" Bai Li had somehow appeared behind Xiao Youzi.
Feeling that she was surrounded by shadows, Xiaoyouzi looked up at them and said, "You're blocking my light."
“You don’t need a light to answer the phone, let us listen to it.” Luo Li raised an eyebrow at Xiao Youzi.
This is Xiaoyouzi's private account. She doesn't usually do anything, so it shouldn't be leaked and lead to harassing calls.
"Oh." Seeing this, Xiaoyouzi slipped out from between the group: "I'm going to answer the phone."
Pressing the answer button, Xiaoyouzi's soft, sweet voice came through the receiver: "Hello?"
"Little Yuzu?" The person on the other end of the phone changed their tone slightly, then asked again with some disbelief, "Is it Little Yuzu?"
The other person's voice was very young. Xiaoyouzi searched her mind for similar voices but found nothing.
She then realized that she had never seen this person before.
"Who are you? Are you my brother or uncle? What do you need me for? I'm about to have a barbecue, it's urgent." Little Yuzu quickly came up with a bunch of ideas.
Those behind her raised their eyebrows upon seeing this, but did not rashly go up and disturb Xiaoyouzi while she was on the phone.
Bai Yu called out, "What can you hear standing here? Come on, let's have some barbecue, Xiao Youzi will want some later."
"Ah, here it comes."
"That's right."
Wangcai sat cross-legged on Sijing's head, the two of them somewhat at a loss.
Si Jing asked, "Um, is there anything I can help you with?"
Si Jing couldn't bring himself to do nothing and freeload.
"Let's have a barbecue together, I'll teach you!" Cheng Cheng waved, and the group started barbecuing again.
The little pomelos over there smelled so delicious, they were practically drooling.
I felt a bit anxious.
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled softly, "Eating barbecue sounds so good."
"Who exactly are you?" Little Yuzu asked, puzzled.
The man chuckled again before saying, "Little Yuzu, I'm your fourth brother."
"Fourth brother?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Li frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Youzi: Why would Fourth Brother call at this time?
Little Yuzi's eyes widened as she looked at the phone number and answered the call: "Are you my fourth brother? Then why are you using a virtual number? Why aren't you coming back?"
Luo Yu smiled helplessly and glanced at the military representative who was monitoring him not far away. "You should know that my brother's work is very important. This time, he was allowed to make a phone call under special permission."
"I understand." Although Little Yuzu is small, she is very smart and understands things immediately.
She said somewhat dejectedly, "Can't Fourth Brother come back yet? I've been home for so long and haven't seen you yet."
"I probably won't be able to go home for a while. I have work to do for another two weeks." Luo Yu also wanted to go back to see his sister, but unfortunately, he couldn't leave his work.
It's the kind of place you can't escape no matter where you go.
Little Yuzu said in a muffled voice, "Does that mean I won't make it in time for my birthday?"
"Your birthday is still a while away, you'll make it."
Luo Yugang had just finished speaking when he realized he shouldn't make any promises, so he added, "If there's no other work."
"Alright then, Fourth Brother, when can I see you?" Little Yuzu sighed, "Can't I see you a little earlier?"
She wanted to meet her fourth brother in person.
Luo Yu chuckled: "I came here to talk to you about this. I've made a special exception to let you meet with me next Friday. Are you willing? But you'll be alone."
He had to plead with them for a long time before he finally got this specific time.
Otherwise, given the nature of those people, who knows how long it would take before he could meet Xiaoyouzi.
Little Yuzu was of course willing, nodding eagerly: "Okay, okay, I want to meet my brother!"
"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up at the school gate. Just prepare your clothes," Luo Yu said with a smile.
Little Yuzi wanted to talk to Luo Yu, but then she heard a dignified voice coming from Luo Yu's direction.
The annoying person said, "Professor Luo, your time is up. I'm very sorry, please say your piece another time."
"Hmm." Luo Yu's voice sounded impatient. Considering that Xiao Youzi was there, he glared at the person, then turned to Xiao Youzi and said gently, "Xiao Youzi, I'm hanging up now."
Little Yuzu pursed her lips, then suddenly smiled and said cheerfully, "Okay, see you on Friday, Fourth Brother!"
See you on Friday.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyouzi looked down at her phone.
Before she even reached the barbecue stand, Luo Li came up to her and asked with concern, "Was it Lao Si who called you?"
“Yes.” Little Yuzu nodded, looking at Luo Li with longing eyes.
Luo Li frowned slightly: "What did he say?"
After briefly explaining the meeting on Friday, Xiaoyouzi put her phone away and tugged at the frowning Luo Li: "Fifth Brother, let's go have a barbecue!"
"Hmm." Even though Luo Li had a thousand questions, she couldn't bring herself to ask Xiao Youzi any more.
"Little Youzi is here! Come and eat the barbecue Xiao Ye made, it's super delicious!" Cheng Cheng said with a smile, picking up a skewer of barbecue and handing it to Little Youzi.
The little pomelo, with its bright eyes crinkling, swallowed it in one gulp.
The grilled meat was slightly charred and fragrant, with tender and juicy meat. It was coated with barbecue sauce and sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, making it incredibly delicious.
