Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Is Yun Shifei Feeling Sorry for Him?

She usually called Cheng Lie around this time, and Cheng Lie would always answer.

But today is the weekend...

Maybe he goes to bed earlier on weekends.

Although Yun Shifei didn’t really understand—how does it make sense to sleep late during school days but early on weekends?

But Cheng Lie isn’t an ordinary kid; he might have his own habits.

Yun Shifei felt it would be rude to keep calling him and could only hope that the two calls she had made earlier didn’t disturb him.

She lay on the soft, large bed, the blanket thick and plush, enveloping her completely.

So comfortable, so warm.

Yun Shifei stretched lazily, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and prepared to sleep.

She had been running around outside today and felt a bit tired.

Just as Yun Shifei was about to doze off, the phone beside her rang.

The sudden ringing startled her, and she sat up abruptly.

Picking up the phone, she was a little dazed.

"Hello?" Her voice carried traces of sleep and a hint of annoyance.

Anyone would want to be a bit angry if they were disturbed just as they were about to fall asleep.

"It’s me."

Two simple words, spoken with that uniquely cold and low tone belonging to a young man, instantly dispelled Yun Shifei’s irritability from moments before.

She couldn’t bring herself to be angry at Cheng Lie.

"Cheng Lie, did I disturb you earlier when I called?" Yun Shifei cautiously asked.

Hearing her voice instantly soften, Cheng Lie’s lips curved slightly—he found it a little amusing.

"Weren’t you the one calling me?"

"Oh, yes, I thought you might be asleep. Hopefully I didn’t bother you, right?"

"You didn’t."
