Sitting next to Tang Bingyao, Ceng Rui, who was busy booking accommodation at the Manchester City Hotel on his mobile phone, also noticed the girl's sudden change and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Bingyao came back to her senses and pursed her lips nervously.
"Lin Feng … sent me a message."
Ceng Rui was slightly startled and immediately asked, "What did he say?"
Tang Bingyao clicked on her WeChat on the mobile phone screen, pulled up the chat window with someone, and then turned the screen to Ceng Rui. The latter clearly saw the text of a recent message below the chat bar:
"Call me back."
Looking at the time, it was sent more than half an hour ago. Ceng Rui came to a realization, "You didn't turn on your phone when you got off the plane … Did he call you?"
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips and nodded. Her mobile phone did not have a notification that she did not receive a call when her phone was turned off, but it should be as Ceng Rui analyzed and judged.
Ceng Rui thought very directly, "He asked you to call him back, so you call him back."
But Tang Bingyao paused and then shook her head in a panic, "I … I don't know …"
Her voice was a little weak.
"I don't know why Lin Feng is looking for me …"
Ceng Rui was startled again. Looking at the girl's flustered and nervous look in front of him, he slowly understood.
Yes.
Indeed, coming to Manchester City this time was the girl's decision to secretly hide it from someone. At the same time, she didn't know the specific situation of the girl in Manchester City at the moment, as well as someone's current state. So suddenly wanting to call back and talk to someone … was indeed a little flinching and fearful for the girl.
"The main thing is that I don't know why he is looking for you now."
Ceng Rui frowned slightly.
"He should already be in Manchester City. Did he go to the hospital to see Steamed Bun? And Steamed Bun's situation … What's his situation now?"
There were too many problems and situations that she didn't understand.
But it was not appropriate to just sit there and let her imagination run wild.
"Why don't you call Sister Xue or the seniors?" Ceng Rui looked at Tang Bingyao and suggested, "Let's first understand the situation from them, and then call Lin Feng back."
Tang Bingyao's eyes lit up slightly, and then nodded repeatedly.
"Yes!"
"First … ask them!"
Just as she picked up her phone and pondered whether she should call Big Sister Xue or the seniors, her phone rang before she could make a decision.
Tang Bingyao was startled. She grabbed her phone in a fluster and looked at the screen. Then, she froze.
"Sister … Sister Xue is calling!"
The caller ID on the screen showed that it was Su Xue.
Ceng Rui urged, "Pick it up."
"Ah — Oh, oh …" The girl, who was completely at a loss, subconsciously listened to her friend's instructions. She pressed the answer button on her phone screen, turned on the speaker, and carefully held the phone in front of her.
"Sister Xue?"
The other end of the line was filled with a hubbub of noise, as if it was the background noise of a shopping mall. Then, Su Xue's loud voice rang out from Tang Bingyao and Ceng Rui's carriage.
"Sigh! Tang Tang? "
"Oh my, really, Lin Feng said he couldn't get through to you, but I got through right away, hahaha —"
"Are you and Xiao Zeng together? Got off the plane? Did you just arrive in London? "
As soon as he arrived, he excitedly fired off a string of shots like a cannon.
Ceng Rui, who was sitting next to Tang Bingyao, was slightly taken aback. He keenly sensed that Su Xue's tone was very relaxed and happy.
Tang Bingyao, on the other hand, was still in a daze.
"Oh … Yes."
"I'm with Ah Zeng."
"In a taxi … We're going to the train station."
Su Xue on the other end of the line cheered up. "Oh! You're going to the train station? So you're coming from London tonight, right? Okay, you'll be in Manchester in about an hour or two. Do you know where it is? St. Edmund Hospital. You can book a hotel near the hospital. It's not far from the train station. "
After another barrage of reminders and arrangements, Su Xue suddenly thought of something. She slapped her forehead in realization.
"Oh, by the way, you didn't pick up Lin Feng's call just now. Hurry up and call him back."
"I think he and Steamed Bun have been calling you since early in the morning. There were several times when your phone was turned off on the plane. That made him so anxious that he even called me to ask about the situation. But I've already told them that you'll be arriving today —"
Su Xue said a long string of words in one breath. However, from the second half of her speech onwards, Ceng Rui and Tang Bingyao, who were in the car on the other end of the line, could no longer hear the rest of her words.
They were stunned on the spot.
Ceng Rui was the first to react. He interrupted them almost immediately.
"What did you just say, Sis Xue?"
"Steamed Bun called Tang Tang too?"
"Isn't she —"
Before he could finish, Su Xue had a sudden realization. She laughed and said, "Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot. Hey, Lin Feng saw Steamed Bun yesterday when he came over. The two of them are having fun in downtown Manchester today."
Ceng Rui was a little stunned. "But Steamed Bun …"
"It's okay!" Su Xue was overjoyed on the other end of the line. She paused for a moment and added, "At least the surgery went smoothly. She's out of danger."
The second half of her sentence was still not heard by the two people on the other end of the line.
At this moment, Tang Bingyao and Ceng Rui's minds were filled with Su Xue's first few words.
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Almost instantly, both of them felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Their originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed at this moment. At the same time, they also felt a sense of weakness, as if they were about to collapse. But more than that … an indescribable feeling of joy filled their bodies.
"Is … is it really okay now?"
Tang Bingyao still couldn't believe her eyes. Dizzily, she asked Su Xue for confirmation again and again, "What's going on?
"Steamed Bun, are you okay now?"
Su Xue paused. "Well … Although it's not completely resolved yet, at least it's okay now."
Saying that, she smiled.
"So you guys can rest assured. Anyway, we're already in the UK. In the next few days, we'll have plenty of time to go shopping with Steamed Bun and Lin Feng. Manchester is really a good city."
Then she hung up the phone.
Only Tang Bingyao and Ceng Rui were left in the car. They still couldn't help but feel excited and unable to calm down.
Ceng Rui looked at Tang Bingyao and smiled.
"Now, you can rest assured and call Lin Feng back, right?"
With this reminder, Tang Bingyao suddenly came back to her senses. Her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise and excitement. She hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed someone's number.
Du — Du — Du —
The phone rang for a while.
Then.
The call was connected.
However, the person who picked up the phone was not the person he expected, but another girl who was incredibly familiar and pleasant to the ear. Her voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Tang Tang?"
The eyes of the girl holding the phone on the other end of the line suddenly turned red.
"Steamed Bun!"
