Love So Sweet

Chapter 99

99 Are You Crying?

Fang’s Residence.

Stretching her hand, Fang Su Jin pulled out a few tissues and blew her nose. Her eyes reddened as she continued to look at the screen. At this time, the male lead from that drama was staring at the female lead with his eyes full of love.

After years of separation and tons of tests, the two of them were finally reunited.

However, fate was too cruel to them.

Although they were reunited, they could not be with each other due to their identity. The male lead was about to be executed and the female lead was crying until she almost fainted.

In the end, the male lead could only promise to meet her again in their next life.

Fang Su Jin was moved by this scene.

Her face reddened and her tears would not stop coming out. By now, her nose could no longer smell anything.

Just then, the phone on the side table buzzed.

.....

Fang Su Jin reached to take her phone and slid her finger on the screen without looking at the caller ID. Her eyes were glued to the screen and she did not want to miss any moments.

She was still hoping that there would be something or someone who could save the male lead. She wanted to see the couple living happily ever after.

Fang Su Jin pressed the phone to her ear and spoke, “Hello.”

“Fang Su Jin?”

The moment she heard the voice, Fang Su Jin immediately halted. The tears that were about to stream down her face suddenly stopped.

She pulled the phone away and stared at the screen.

It was an unknown number.

However, why does it feel as if this voice sounded familiar?

She sucked in a deep breath and spoke. “Who is this?” Because she had just cried from watching that drama, Fang Su Jin’s voice sounded especially hoarse.

“It’s me. Zhang Yi Hai.” The man spoke.

Her eyes widened in surprise. Her fingers moved faster before her brain and she quickly pressed the red button, before tossing her phone as if it was some hot potato.

The phone fell on her table with a loud thud.

Her mind was still trying to process what was going on. She finally came to her senses a few seconds later. She took the phone again and looked at the caller ID.

It was an unknown number.

But... that person who spoke on the other line just now... What did he say his name was?

Zhang Yi Hai?

Li Xue’s younger brother?

Fang Su Jin felt a shiver down her spine.

Why would Li Xue’s younger brother look for her?

Wait. Why would he have her number?

Before she could answer any of these questions, the phone began to ring again. Fang Su Jin looked at the screen and saw it was the same unknown number.

After a brief hesitation, Fang Su Jin braved herself to pick up the phone call again. “Miss Fang? Are you there?”

Fang Su Jin cleared her throat. “It’s me.”

“I’m... Wait. Are you crying?”

Her face turned red upon hearing his question. “What does this have to do with you?”

Zhang Yi Hai was quiet for a few seconds. Then, he spoke again, “I’m looking for my sister. Is she with you?”

Fang Su Jin recalled her earlier arrangement with her friend before. “She was with me a while ago. But she already left. Are you looking for her? She probably turned her phone on silence.”

Zhang Yi Hai pursed his lips. “Then, thank you. Before Fang Su Jin could say another word, Zhang Yi Hai had already ended the call.

The moment she heard the silence, Fang Su Jin quickly called her friend’s number.

Fortunately, the call went through after a few seconds.

“Li Xue!”

“Su Jin?” Zhang Li Xue frowned. “Why do you sound so strange? Were you crying?”

Fang Su Jin reached to pull a few more tissue papers and dabbed her eyes. “Un. I was watching a drama earlier. Wait. This was not the reason I called. Li Xue, I think your brother called me just now.”

“My brother?”

“Right. You mentioned that you were going to a class reunion,” Fang Su Jin reminded her. ” Could it be that he called to check on you?”

Zhang Li Xue froze.

She seemed to recall that before she go out earlier, her brother was not at home. She had thought that she was already safe from her sticky broth. However, it seemed that the boy was calling her friend to check on her?

“Li Xue?” Fang Su Jin called when her friend did not say a word for a long time. “What should I do?”

“I already left the reunion a while ago,” Zhang Li Xue said. “Never mind. I know what to do. Su Jin, thank you for warning me.”

Zhang Li Xue chatted with her friend for a while before she ended the call. When she looked at the caller log, Zhang Li Xue was surprised to see that her brother had called her a few times.

A while ago, she was too busy helping Bai Xi Xi to clean up the bathroom that she did not notice her brother has been trying to reach her for a while.

Her breath stuck in her throat when she noticed the number of phone calls that Zhang Yi Hai had made. Zhang Li Xue wondered what she should explain to her brother later on.

“Pretty Sister, what’s wrong?” Bai Xi Xi was worried when she noticed the pretty sister’s expression.

“Nothing.” Zhang Li Xue forced a smile. “My friend is looking for me.”

“Then... do you have to leave now?” Bai Xi Xi flashed a pitiful look.

The little girl hoped that Zhang Li Xue would stay with her a while longer. Bai Xi Xi enjoyed having someone to accompany her at home.

It was too lonely and she liked having someone to talk to.

Meeting the little girl’s eyes made her heart waver. Zhang Li Xue did not have the heart to leave the girl alone. She had seen the apartment’s surrounding just now and thought that it was indeed a little dangerous for Bai Xi Xi to live alone.

Fortunately, Bai Xi Xi would have to go to school during weekdays and would only have to stay at home alone whenever her brother was on duty on the weekend.

“No.” Zhang Li Xue stretched her hand and patted the girl’s head. “I’ll stay and accompany you for a while.”

She hoped that Bai Qi would be returning home soon. Otherwise, she would worry about the little girl.
