As soon as Jian Dan returned to her dorm, she immediately made a video call to her uncle.
Chu Liyuanâs phone had been in his hand the whole time, occasionally glancing at it, and almost instantly pressed the answer button when he saw Jian Jianâs video invitation.
Seeing the person he missed appear on the screen, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously.
âMiss me?â
Her uncleâs deep, magnetic voice stimulated Jian Danâs eardrums.
âUncle, itâs only been a day since I saw you!â
Upon hearing Jian Danâs words, a hint of disappointment appeared on Chu Liyuanâs face.
After seeing her uncleâs expression, Jian Danâs mouth curled up, âBut why do I still miss you so much!â
Seeing the change in her uncleâs expression, a smile blossomed on Jian Danâs face.
âUncle, have you been thinking about me too?â Your quick response already proves it.
âYes!
Have you had dinner yet?â
âIâve eaten. I had some really delicious rice noodles. Iâll definitely take you there when I have time!â
âOkay!â
âSo have you been eating on time, uncle?â
âYou had Chu Li accompany me, how could I not eat!â
âGood! Looks like Chu Li is doing her job well and not slacking off!â
âHow does it feel to be back to being a student on your first day?â
âHmm- I was quite excited before I came here, but after arriving, it turns out thereâs not much feeling to it.â
Her uncle was so busy every day, and since Jian Dan could take care of things on her own, naturally, she didnât bother him with the dayâs events.
âStill, being with uncle is better!â
âThen come back!â
âOnce Iâve finished my tasks here, Iâll return!â
âTake good care of yourself while Iâm not there!â
âDonât worry! I mean, I am a mother of four after all, how could I possibly not take care of myself!â
Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Danâ¦
He really was worried!
âIf you come back thinner, youâll have me to answer to.â
âYes, sir!â
âItâs late, go to sleep early!â
âOkay! And you too, uncle, you should go to bed soon!â
The two, after hanging up the call, lay tossing and turning in their own beds, not feeling sleepy at allâ¦
Itâs true that habits can be scary. Without the other person by their side, the sleep quality of both, which wasnât great to begin with, had gotten even worse.
The next morning, both of them went to work and school with heavy dark circles under their eyes.
Yang Xiaoting was planning to call Jian Dan to go to class together. Before she could even knock, the door opened from the inside.
She jumped when she saw Jian Dan emerge from inside, âWhat happened? Did you turn into a thief last night?â Those dark circles were enormous.
Jian Dan looked at Yang Xiaoting listlessly, âItâs probably just because Iâm not used to the new environment yet!â
âAre you sure you can still go to class like this? Donât fall asleep in the middle of the lecture and get caught by that dog again!â
âNo problem, Iâve got this!â Jian Dan forced a smile.
On the way to the classroom, Jian Dan couldnât stop yawning.
As soon as she entered the classroom, Jian Dan sprawled out over the desk like a dehydrated octopus.
âJian, are you sure you can do this?â Yang Xiaoting asked again.
If she got caught by that dog again, Jian Dan might really get expelled.
âYeah!â Although she felt weak and lacked strength, she wanted to persevere, so Xiaoting wouldnât worry.
After hearing Jian Danâs response, Yang Xiaoting turned her head back to the front, still half-doubtful.
No sooner had Xiaoting turned her head back than Jian Danâs head collapsed onto the desk, and she fell into a drowsy sleepâ¦
