For a moment, Wenren Meng thought she was hallucinating. How could it be a call from her sister? After she'd suddenly left over a year ago, everyone had searched high and low, even putting out a missing person notice, but they hadn't found her.
Of course, they'd been trying her number every day. Even after Wenren Meng arrived in Qingzhou, she would occasionally call it, just hoping. But the response was always the same: "The number you have dialed has been switched off."
But now, there was an incoming call from her sister's number. Wenren Meng's hand trembled so much that her finger missed the answer button several times. Finally, she took a moment to calm her racing heart and picked up.
"Sis?"
"It's me—I'm back."
