Chapter 3614 The Fourth Call

"time……"

Xi Xinrui looked at the time on his phone, "...it's getting late. You can get ready to rest in a while."

……

"oh oh."

Xi Xinrui looked obedient on the surface, but she was refuting in her heart.

How late is it?
It’s only a little after eight o’clock…

My brother sometimes has old-fashioned ideas, just like my grandfather's generation...

……

Xi Xinrui waited for his sister to hang up the phone.

He's used to doing this.

Ever since he hung up the phone too quickly one time and was complained by his sister who called him again soon after, he never hung up the phone first when talking to his sister again.

……

"what!"

Xi Xinrui's heart skipped a beat when he heard Xi Xinrui's scream coming from the receiver.

He asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Rui, what's wrong?!"

"What happened?"

"Xiao Rui?!"

……

"…..fine."

A few seconds later, Xi Xinrui's voice came again.

……

Xi Xinrui poked her pet snake's head with her finger.

……

"What was your name just now?"

Xi Xinrui was somewhat skeptical of what his sister said.

Something was definitely wrong.

……

Uh……

Xi Xinrui pulled the tail of her pet snake.

He had a somewhat vicious look on his face.

It’s all your fault…

She didn't want to say it at first, but since her brother specifically asked...

"Cough cough~"

Xi Xinrui felt a little embarrassed.

"It's nothing, actually."

"I just didn't notice..."

"The pine cones crawled down my wrists."

"I almost sat on it just now."

"Scare me a bit..."

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and avoided the pine cone with a difficult move.

Saved the pine cone from the misfortune of being crushed by her.

……

That's right.

Xi Xinrui suddenly realized.

The worry on his face faded.

He knew that Pine Cone was the name of one of his sister's pet snakes.

Because my sister thought the color of the snake was very similar to a pine cone, she gave the snake this name.

The name is quite cute.

If only this cute name wasn't for a snake...

It's even better.

……

Xi Xinrui did not put away his phone.

He looked at the screen saver on his phone.

His finger lingered over the address book.

He was hesitating whether to call Xiao Xiao, the owner of the White Snake, right now?
He moved his eyes upwards and fixed them on time.

For my high school sister, it's almost time to go to bed.

But for college students...

There is still a lot of time to "waste".

……

Unless there are special circumstances, most college students go to bed when it is time to turn off the lights.

You may not necessarily close your eyes and fall asleep.

Maybe we will have to lie in bed with our eyes open and chat about everything under the sun for a while before the sound of deep sleeping breathing can slowly be heard in the room.

……

Xi Xinrui knew that the other party definitely had not rested at this point in time.

....
Forget it.

After hesitating for a while, Xi Xinrui gave up the idea of ​​calling the other party at this time.

……

It's getting late.

Besides, this matter is not so urgent that we can't wait all night.

……

The next day, Xi Xinrui hesitated for a while and finally decided to call the white snake's owner during lunch break.

The phone rang for a long time.

No one answered the phone.

Xi Xinrui frowned.

He looked at the time.

Right now...

Is Xiao Xiao eating outside?
Was the surrounding too noisy so that he didn't hear the incoming call?
Xi Xinrui took a deep breath.

He pressed the call button again.

……

Xi Xinrui waited again until the phone hung up automatically.

He pursed his lips.

He didn’t expect…

Before calling, he had been struggling with the time to call, and also considering how to tell Xiao Xiao that his sister wanted to see him... He never expected...

He thought that as long as he dialed the other party's number, everything would be settled...

As a result, he encountered unexpected problems again.

The other party didn't answer the phone.

……

The other party doesn’t answer the phone?

The other party didn’t answer the phone?

Xi Xinrui didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
why?
Xi Xinrui was puzzled.

Was it as he had guessed before, that the other party did not hear the ringing tone because he was in a noisy environment?
Or is the phone not even with the other person at this moment?

Could it be that the other party deliberately refused to answer?
Xi Xinrui was startled by the idea that suddenly popped into his mind.

Hey.

and many more……

Will not……

They just exchanged contacts yesterday-
Uh……

Xi Xinrui reached out and knocked on his head.

Yesterday, he wrote down Xiao Xiao's contact information.

But the other party...

Xi Xinrui pressed his head hard.

The scene at that time gradually became clear in his mind.

After all, it was just posted yesterday.

……

At that time...did Xiao Xiao not write down his contact information?

It seemed like he just gave him his contact information.

I also heard what he said.

He thought the other party should have taken note of what he was saying.

……

Now it seems……

The other party wouldn’t be unaware that this number is his, right?
Thought it was some spam call?
But as far as he is concerned, even if it is a number he doesn’t recognize, he will still answer the call as long as the other party calls twice.

What if it was an important call?
……

Xi Xinrui took a deep breath.

He dialed the other party's number again.

He doesn't believe it anymore.

……

Xiao Xiao made the tea.

He reached for the phone that was on the table.

really.

It shows three missed calls.

It's all the same number.

This number -
The phone screen changed to an incoming call screen.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The fourth call came.

……

He answered the phone.

"Hello."

……

Ok?
It was not until a boy's voice was heard on the phone that Xi Xinrui realized that he had not noticed when the call had been connected.

"Hey!"

He spoke hastily.

I was afraid that people would think it was a prank call and hang up.

"I'm Xi Xinrui."

The boy introduced himself.

I felt a little uneasy.

They just met yesterday, so the other party wouldn't have forgotten him so quickly, right?
……

"I know."

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Hello."

……

he knows……

Xi Xinrui felt relieved.

"H-hello."

He said with some hesitation.

"Cough cough~"

He touched his neck.

Expressing dissatisfaction with his own flustered performance.

People remember him.

Why are you so nervous?
……

Xi Xinrui finally calmed down.

He smiled sheepishly.

"Hello, Xiao Xiao."

He said hello again.

Compared to the slightly flustered and stuttering greeting before, this time the greeting was steady and smooth.

"There is one thing I want to ask of you..."

"I hope you can promise me."

Xi Xinrui went straight to the point.

I had spent so much time trying to get through this call, and then I behaved a little embarrassingly.

He couldn't think of anything to talk about.

Then just tell me the purpose of your call.

……

"what's up?"

Xiao Xiao held up the teacup.

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
