When the call connected, both ends fell silent.
Jiang Qingli heard the deliberately suppressed breathing on the other end, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Ever since she'd accidentally walked into Jiang Youchen's room during his special period, Jiang Qingli hadn't dared to go looking for him, and they hadn't crossed paths.
Although Jiang Qingli had long since removed him from her blocklist, they hadn't contacted each other in that time.
Their only exchange had been in the early hours of the morning.
He had sent a message, but quickly retracted it a few seconds later.
Jiang Qingli had been fast asleep at the time. When she woke up and asked about it, all she saw on the blank chat screen were two jarring words: [Sent by mistake.]
They hadn't seen each other in a while, and Jiang Qingli felt a growing distance between them. Not knowing how to respond, she had only been able to send back a simple nodding emoji.
After that, they hadn't been in contact.
