Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Can You Be My Sister?

It was a little past ten o’clock at night.

No one knew if Cheng Lie had gone to sleep by now.

The phone rang twice before the call was connected.

Yun Shifei could hear the soft breathing on the other end.

She cleared her throat, "Cheng Lie, it’s me. Is this a good time for you to answer the phone?"

She also felt calling Cheng Lie at this late hour wasn’t entirely appropriate. But she just wanted to hear someone’s voice.

Otherwise, she’d feel scared all alone in a big house.

After a while, she heard the boy’s soft "Mm."

Yun Shifei felt her heart settle.

Lying on her bed, she casually chatted with Cheng Lie: "Were you about to go to sleep?"

Another "Mm" came from the other end.

Yun Shifei couldn’t resist asking: "Did I disturb you, then?"

"No."

Relieved, Yun Shifei exhaled deeply.

She said, "There’s no one home here, it’s really too quiet. You see, I’m even speaking softly on the phone right now."

Then she added, "Oh, by the way, today’s math homework was so hard! I spent half the evening on it, and there are still some problems I haven’t figured out. I’m not sure how I’ll manage tomorrow."

Yun Shifei wasn’t much of a chatterbox; she just wanted to say something casually.

Even though Cheng Lie didn’t respond, Yun Shifei could hear his soft breathing on the other end, and still felt reassured.

At least someone was there.

She kept on talking, but soon fell asleep as sleepiness overwhelmed her.

On the other end, Cheng Lie quietly listened to Yun Shifei’s ramblings—now this, now that.

He could tell that she was a bit drowsy, her thoughts disconnected, just saying whatever came to mind.

Eventually, her voice fell silent on the other end. All he could hear was the steady rhythm of her sleeping breaths.

The girl who had been talking seconds ago had now fallen asleep.

She’s adorably clueless.
