Should I lie?
But she wasn't accustomed to lying, even if it was a well-meaning lie.
Zhuo Yuqing struggled for a while before sitting up decisively, as if determined to be courageous: "Bai Chengxi, I'm back in City A, currently at home."
After saying that, she waited nervously for his reaction.
There was silence from his end for a long while, and just when she thought he was angry, Bai Chengxi's voice came through calmly, "You should go back and spend some time with your parents."
This response took Zhuo Yuqing by surprise, and she couldn't react immediately: "You're not angry? I didn't even let you know beforehand."
Bai Chengxi didn't directly answer her question but said, "Enjoy your time at home, I'll call you when I have time."
Before she could say goodbye, he hung up the phone. Listening to the busy tone, Zhuo Yuqing's mood suddenly turned gloomy. Although Bai Chengxi didn't utter a word of reproach, she could feel that he was angry.
