LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 43 - Sweetheart
She first called Li Xinghai back, but the other party did not answer, so she called Cao Li again, but again, neither of them answered the phone.
“What’s wrong, Yanqi?”
Gu Yao saw that Li Yanqi looked anxious as if she was worried about something, so she asked.
“My mom and brother didn’t answer the phone, and I don’t know what’s going on now.”
Li Yanqi’s eyes were full of worry, which made the two people in the room fall silent.
“Same thing; I called my family, but no one answered…”
Gu Yao lowered her head, bit her lip, and said that even the neighbors at home didn’t answer the phone.
Guo Rongrong was eating instant noodles silently. Her husband, who was on a long business trip, had called her before and said he was fine, but that was during the earthquake. Now… she didn’t know what was going on with him.
“It should be fine when the sun comes up, right?”
Gu Yao looked outside with hope on her face.
Now the earthquake has stopped. Although the sky outside still looks gray and there are those “classmates” wandering around below, she still believes that those classmates may just have an infectious disease that can be cured…
Li Yanqi couldn’t contact Li Xinghai and Cao Li, but Ji Cheng could.
“Great, Yanqi, you’re okay!”
Ji Cheng didn’t expect the other party to answer the phone so quickly, but she could tell that he was still very happy.
“Well, we are still in the dormitory now. What on earth happened outside?”
Li Yanqi looked at the two people in the dormitory and turned on the speaker function of her mobile phone.
“The streets are full of man-eating monsters! You must not go out, do you hear me? Let’s wait and see what happens first.”
Ji Cheng frowned and looked at the people on the street outside the window. He also didn’t know what was wrong with them. He only came to this conclusion after witnessing several incidents of cannibalism with his own eyes.
“No help?”
Li Yanqi asked again.
“Yanqi, you are probably at school and don’t know what happened last night. Those people bite everyone they see. The people who are bitten will soon become like them. Now everyone can only save themselves first.”
Ji Cheng’s words made Gu Yao and Guo Rongrong realize the seriousness of the matter.
It seems that there will be no rescue for the time being.
“Okay, I get it, you should be careful too.”
Li Yanqi replied.
“By the way, Yanqi, Aunt Cao, and your brother are also here with me; you don’t have to worry too much about them.”
Ji Cheng said that it was a coincidence that when the earthquake happened last night, he was driving on the road and happened to meet the frightened mother and son.
“That’s good. I called my mom and brother, but no one answered. Thank you. I will find a way to find them later.”
Li Yanqi was obviously relieved on the other end of the phone, and her gentle tone also warmed Ji Cheng’s heart.
Although Yan Qi has been aloof since childhood, she is still very filial to her family. If he marries such an excellent girl… his family should be very satisfied.
“Brother Ji Cheng, who are you talking to on the phone?”
A crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone, and Li Yanqi’s hand holding the phone couldn’t help but tighten.
But it was only for a moment, and she quickly returned to her normal tone and said to Ji Cheng:
“My mom and my brother are going to trouble you for now. Please go ahead and do your work. We’ll contact you later.”
Seeing that Li Yanqi was about to hang up the phone, Ji Cheng wanted to explain, but he felt that there seemed to be nothing to explain.
“Qingyun, why are you awake so early? Why don’t you sleep for a while?”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Cheng helplessly pulled away the hand that was around his neck and said.
“I was so scared last night that I didn’t dare to sleep at all. It was Brother Ji Cheng who called someone so early. Is she your sweetheart?”
Song Qingyun asked with a smile on her face.
Sweetheart?
Ji Cheng smiled and replied, “I guess so.”
