After hanging up the phone, Song Yuli hadn't even gotten up when his phone rang again.
Looking at the unfamiliar number displayed on his phone, Song Yu hesitated for a moment before answering.
As soon as the call connected, Tongtong's soft, sweet voice rang out.
"Hey, Auntie."
Upon hearing Tongtong's voice, Song Yuli couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, it's Tongtong. Why did you suddenly decide to call your aunt?"
Nan Luotong hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, "Auntie, I miss you. When are you coming to visit me?"
The child's sweet, innocent voice was tinged with a hint of grievance, which melted Song Yuli's heart.
"Auntie misses you too, but I have to go see a good friend today. How about I come to the old house to visit you tomorrow?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other end of the phone went silent. After a long while, Tongtong's reluctant voice came through: "Okay."
Song Yuli pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then thought of Tongtong's withdrawn personality, gritted his teeth, and spoke.
"Tongtong, is your grandma home?"
Tongtong: "Yes, Auntie, do you want to talk to Grandma?"
Song Yuli: "Mm."
Tongtong: "Then Auntie, wait a moment."
After saying that, there was silence on the other end of the phone. After a long while, the dial tone was heard again.
That's the sound of high heels hitting the ground.
Qi Peihua has arrived.
"Hello."
Upon hearing Qi Peihua's voice, Song Yuli couldn't help but straighten his body, his heart leaping slightly.
For some reason, she always felt very nervous whenever she was in front of Qi Peihua.
It's just like facing your homeroom teacher in elementary school.
"Aunt."
"Yes, Tongtong told me you were looking for me."
His voice remained cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Having already made up his mind, Song Yuli had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It's like this, Aunt, I'd like to take Tongtong out for a day today. Is that alright?"
After saying that, Song Yuli didn't even dare to breathe.
“Tongtong has never been out of the house since she was born, except for the few days she spent at school last year. Why do you want to take Tongtong out?”
The voice was as cold as ever, but Song Yuli could still detect a hint of wariness in it.
His eyes darkened slightly, and Song Yuli pursed his lips before saying, "I know that Tongtong has autism. People with autism cannot stay in one place alone for a long time, as this will only make their autism worse."
Qi Peihua: "So, you want to take Tongtong out."
Song Yuli nodded: "Yes, I like Tongtong very much, and I don't want to see Tongtong looking unhappy."
Qi Peihua fell silent, and Song Yuli had no choice but to shut his mouth as well.
Since she had already said all that, there was nothing she could do if Qi Peihua still disagreed.
After a long while, Qi Peihua's voice finally came through.
When are you coming?
Upon hearing this, Song Yuli's eyes lit up instantly.
There's hope.
"I'll be right there."
Qi Peihua: "Then I'll wait for you at home with Tongtong."
After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.
Looking at the black screen of his phone, Song Yuli's eyes flickered. He then ran into his bedroom to change his clothes and tidy himself up before leaving the house.
After leaving the residential area, I saw more people.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like those people were pointing and whispering about her.
