His heart suddenly leapt to his throat. He held his breath with a clearly anxious tone as he began to speak, asking, "Chu Chu, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
For a moment, Gu Lanshan had thought about hanging up the phone, but upon hearing Sheng Shi's voice filled with such tension, a slight warmth inexplicably spread through her heart. The tightness in her chest that nearly suffocated her dissipated quite a bit. She gripped her phone tighter and thought to herself that since she had already made the call, there was no need to awkwardly hang up.
Instantly, Gu Lanshan felt calmer, and her confidence bolstered considerably. She reached for a cushion and placed it behind her lower back for support, making her half-reclined position much more comfortable, before she nonchalantly replied into the phone with a low and smooth voice, "I'm fine; nothing's happened."
The tension and concern at the bottom of Sheng Shi's heart dispersed the moment he heard those words.
