The call was from Sheng Qianxia.
Sheng Qingxue instinctively pressed the call button.
"Happy 22nd birthday, little birthday star! Muah!"
Sheng Qingxue sniffled and tried to make her voice sound calm, "Thank you, sis!"
"I just knew you weren't asleep yet. Why have you been practicing piano all the time lately?"
Sheng Qingxue replied, "I'm not skilled enough; I've only gotten this far thanks to luck. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid one day I'll run out of luck and return to how I was."
"Everyone can see how hard you work, seriously!" Sheng Qianxia said, "Go to sleep now, and when you open your eyes, I'll be home."
"Are you coming back?"
"Of course, my little angel is having a birthday."
"Thank you, sis."
"Nothing to thank for, just go to sleep!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
"It's today..." Sheng Qianxia laughed.
"Yeah, today."
Sheng Qingxue hung up the phone feeling a bit warm, but soon, a more lonely feeling swept over her.
