Tang Xiaohua was halfway through her sentence when her phone clutched in her hand began to vibrate. She glanced at it and her eyes widened—
"What's wrong?"
The phone screen showed a video request from Lu Xiaoer.
"It's Xiaoer."
Tang Xiaohua shot a look back at Zhongli Wuzhi and then accepted the request,
"Xiaoer?"
The screen was pitch black, and the signal on the other end was terrible. The screen was very laggy, and the voice came with a crackling noise.
Tang Xiaohua couldn't discern where it was, she couldn't even tell if the picture was coming through properly.
Zhongli Wuzhi and Tang Xiaohua were standing on the same side, both staring intently at the phone screen.
"Xiaoer? Xiaoer, is that you?"
Tang Xiaohua kept asking.
"Shh…"
Zhongli Wuzhi motioned for Tang Xiaohua to be quiet, he seemed to hear a faint human voice…
"Xiao Li... crackle…"
It was Lu Xiaoer's voice!
"Sss... Xiao Li…"
