Du — Du — Du —
The call went through.
However, when Su Xue heard the dial tone from the other side of the phone, her heart couldn't help but sink.
Because … this wasn't good news.
Originally, she had another guess. Perhaps the girl went to Manchester, England, on the other side of the ocean, and changed her phone number in China, or the original number was no longer in use.
If that was the case, then the message Lin Feng sent last night was naturally not seen by the girl, so it made sense that she didn't reply.
But now …
The number wasn't out of use.
And it was in the middle of calling.
In other words, there was a greater possibility … Perhaps the girl had seen the message sent by someone last night, but had chosen not to reply.
That was the worst-case scenario. Su Xue couldn't help but feel a little nervous as she held her phone. She eagerly hoped that the call would be picked up soon. If that was the case, as the older sister, she had to ask the person on the other end of the line. Just what had happened that made her unwilling to respond to Lin Feng taking the initiative to take a step forward?
Du — Du — Du —
The answering tone continued to ring monotonously. But in the end, when the customer service girl's gentle and pleasant voice said, "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later," the call was still not picked up.
Su Xue was unwilling to give up.
She dialed the number again, but half a minute later, the same customer service girl's voice rang in her ear again.
No one picked up.
Su Xue put down her phone in a daze. She was a little confused by the situation in front of her.
There were two possibilities. The first was that the other party really didn't hear the two calls. The second was that the other party saw the number on the screen and chose to ignore it.
But there was almost no reason for the latter possibility to happen!
Su Xue felt that the relationship between her and the girl was quite close. More importantly, the conflict that happened back then was only between the girl and a certain someone. It had nothing to do with anyone else. So when she called, the other party ignored her call and chose to ignore it.
In other words … maybe the other party really didn't hear the phone ring?
This conclusion made Su Xue a little excited. Since the other party didn't even pick up the two calls, maybe the text that Lin Feng sent last night really wasn't seen?
The situation was much better than the first one!
That damn brat didn't have to be so upset. It was just an accident!
But …
Su Xue, who was about to jump up in joy, suddenly calmed down. It had been more than ten hours since last night. Not touching the phone for so long … didn't seem normal.
So a bigger cloud of doubt began to rise in Su Xue's heart.
Then …
What on earth was going on?
In the end … what had happened to that girl?
The expression on Su Xue's face kept changing. Just as she made up her mind to make another call to confirm the matter, the staff member from the Telecommunications Association came back with a pile of photocopied documents. When he saw Su Xue, he greeted her warmly, "Ah Xue, sorry to have kept you waiting. Here, please sign your name on these documents."
As soon as the staff member returned, he interrupted Su Xue, who was about to make another call. She had no choice but to put her phone away with a smile on her face.
"It's fine, it's fine."
"You want an autograph, right? Alright, I'll write it …"
… …
Lin Feng was a little absent-minded during the morning classes.
Even though he was trying his best to divert his attention from last night's incident, it wasn't easy to put it into practice. In the classroom, the teacher stood in front of the blackboard and read from the textbook, just like in high school. The students were all drowsy from the lecture. Lin Feng wasn't sleepy, but he couldn't hear a single word of what the teacher said.
He couldn't stop thinking about what had happened last night.
No reply …
From ten to eleven o 'clock in the morning until seven or eight o' clock now.
Apart from the 10086 phone bill reminder, he didn't receive any other messages on his phone.
Why?
Even though he said "forget it," Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Why … didn't she reply?
Did she really change her phone number? If so, the situation might not be as bad as he imagined, but he did not have the courage to confirm it. However, if the other party had already seen the text message, and the other party was really not willing to reply to it …
Was she angry?
She was angry that he hadn't taken the initiative to contact her in the past six months, so she chose to coldly refuse to reply.
Or maybe …
She had really forgotten about him.
She had been excluded from her new life on the other side of the ocean.
His mind was filled with all sorts of complicated thoughts. Suddenly, a "ding" sound rang out from his pocket, startling Lin Feng. He almost jumped out of his seat, but the sound of him dragging his desk attracted the attention of many students in the classroom. Even the teacher on the podium raised his head to look in their direction.
Qiu Le, Feng Tao, and Shen Zhuang's roommates were also dumbfounded when they saw Lin Feng's overreaction.
What the hell?
What's wrong with this Lin Feng?
He's not normal this morning!
"Lin Feng, what's the matter?" The teacher on the podium locked his gaze on Lin Feng. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and frowned. "Don't disturb the order of the class …"
Although the classroom discipline wasn't as strict as it was in high school, it was fine if you wanted to sleep, but it was not allowed to deliberately disturb the class.
Lin Feng sat back down in a fluster and hurriedly replied:
"No … nothing!"
"Teacher, I'm sorry!"
When the students turned their attention back to the blackboard, the teacher resumed his lecture. Lin Feng ignored the strange gazes of his roommates and reached into his pocket. At the same time, his heart beat wildly.
That was … the sound of a text message.
The tiredness from not sleeping last night, as well as the frustration from not getting the response he was expecting, were all magically swept away at this moment.
What replaced it was excitement, anxiety, and anticipation.
What "forget it"?
What "accept" and let her live happily on the other side of the ocean?
It was all just an excuse to comfort himself!
