Xu Nian'an lowered his eyes, blinking away the tears, slightly tilting his head and saying, "It's fine, I'm okay, nothing happened. Yesterday, little sister even came to see me and brought lots of good food."
Xu Nian'an tried to make his voice sound normal and cheerful, afraid Ji Ying might notice something was wrong.
"Is that so? That's good. As long as you siblings are all right, I'm relieved." Ji Ying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Nian'an, shouldn't you be in class at this time? How come you have time to call me?"
"Mom, I don't have class right now, my class is in the afternoon."
Xu Nian'an explained, stumbling over his words, not knowing what else to say.
Ji Ying asked, "Is it because you don't have enough money? I'll go to the post office later and send you some."
"Mom, I accidentally broke some equipment at school, I need a thousand yuan." Xu Nian'an's guilty voice came through the phone.
Ji Ying asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
