The phone connected, and that familiar voice came through, asking hurriedly when he finally picked up.
Upon hearing it, he felt a sudden sting in his eyes and a lump in his throat, almost rendering him speechless.
After taking a deep breath and calming down for a while, he spoke again: "I was just buying some New Year goods for my foster parents. What's up? Is something wrong?"
"No wonder. It's nothing, really. Just wanted to let you know that I won't be going to your place for New Year this year. Tomorrow, our whole family is heading to Bali Island... Xiaoyan is getting married."
"..."
Another long period of silence.
Ye Ning, upon hearing this, thought something might be wrong on his end, so she quickly asked again: "Brother Lin? Brother Lin, are you okay?"
"No, it was just a bit noisy here earlier, and the signal was bad. I'm outside now. Are you not here this year?" A voice emerged saying his signal was bad.
