"Yes, I'm fine. It's just that I work long hours every day, but it's okay, I can adapt." His tone remained gentle, and he spoke with great seriousness.
I did not expose his lie.
If he doesn't want me to know, then I'll pretend I don't know.
This is also to protect his dignity and decency.
"How long will it take you to finish your work and come back?" That's all I care about. I won't be at ease until I see him return safe and sound.
"I'm not sure, but it should be soon."
His answer gave me a better understanding of the situation.
The fact that he was able to get his phone back and contact the outside world should mean that the matter has been investigated and he has been exonerated.
So, I guess they'll be back soon.
"Let me know in advance when you come back, and I'll pick you up." I said with a smile, looking forward to that day.
"Okay, I'd like to see you soon too."
After saying this, both sides fell silent.
But actually, I have a thousand words in my heart, but I just can't express them clearly over the phone.
I could only try to lighten the mood, asking, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I'll eat after I finish this call."
Is it cold where you are?
"Hmm...it should be alright."
His answer almost brought tears to my eyes again.
He must have been indoors for many days; how could he know whether it's cold or hot outside?
I said to myself, "It's raining heavily in Jiangcheng, and the roads are very congested."
Are you on your way home from get off work?
"Um."
"Then be careful. I won't talk to you any longer. We'll talk again when I get back."
Realizing he was about to hang up, a wave of reluctance washed over me. "No, I'm pulling over now, it's okay."
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly realized something else and quickly asked, "Are you too busy to chat?"
I think they probably just gave him their phone temporarily so he could call his family to let them know he's safe.
But he definitely called me immediately.
If I keep talking, he definitely won't have time to call Su Yuan.
"It's okay, if you don't want to hang up, I'll chat with you a little longer," he said with a smile, his tone affectionate.
"No, no need. You should call your aunt and Grandpa Su. They are also very worried about you."
When his family was mentioned, Su Shenglin suddenly asked, "Has anyone been looking for you at home these past few days?"
I paused for a moment, then smiled, "Xixi called me! Let's have dinner, go shopping, and chat about gossip."
He laughed too, "That's good, okay, I'll make it up to you properly when I get back. You should go back now and be careful on the road."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
I was about to hang up, but I didn't want to be the one to hang up first, so I paused and waited for him to hang up.
He called me again with deep affection and tenderness, "Jiang Wan?"
"Um?"
"I love you."
"Su Shenglin, I love you too."
