Ji Yebai stood up and walked to the balcony, pressing the answer button.
From the phone came the soft and deep voice of Ning's father: "Is that Yebai?"
"Um."
Ning's father made some small talk about family affairs before getting to the point: "I've been troubling you to take care of Xixi these days, has she caused you any trouble?"
Ji Yebai massaged his temples: "No."
"Then I'm relieved." Ning's father seemed to sigh with relief, then his tone became cautious and probing: "Did she ever mention to you, things like missing me?"
Without waiting for Ji Yebai to answer, he continued to speak for himself: "Hahaha, I'm just saying. Right, you also know about Xixi's academic performance, it's tough to get into a good university domestically, and I'm planning to let her study abroad in Country E. But... I'm afraid she won't agree, so, by then, I'll have to ask you to help me persuade her."
Ji Yebai suddenly clenched his phone tightly!
