The sudden ringtone of the mobile phone almost scared Liu Ergou, who was grinning foolishly, into darting into the middle of the road. Fortunately, Liu Ergou steadied himself in time.
He immediately took out his phone to take a look, and to his surprise, the caller was Lu Xiaoyu. Without a second thought, Liu Ergou immediately answered the call.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello, Xiaoyu, what made you think of calling me all of a sudden? What's up? Do you miss me?"
"If you miss me, I can…"
Liu Ergou hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Lu Xiaoyu's slightly sad voice.
"Er Gou, I… I… SOB… SOB…" Lu Xiaoyu began to cry right then and there.
When Liu Ergou heard Lu Xiaoyu crying, he was dumbfounded. He didn't understand why she was crying.
So, Liu Ergou quickly tried to comfort her, "Alright, alright, Xiaoyu, don't cry. What happened?"
"Did someone bully you, or did something happen on your end?"
