Duan Xingzhou was a bit bewildered by her yelling and timidly asked, "Honey, what's wrong, how did I lie to you? I'm really at home; should I let mom answer the phone?"
"…Mom?" This time it was Xu Anran's turn to be bewildered. After a moment, she realized, "You're at your parents' place?"
"Yeah, you're not home, and it's boring being home alone without even a meal to eat, so I came back here. Honey, why aren't you asleep yet, when are you coming back?"
Xu Anran let out a long breath, thinking how silly her behavior was just now—really laughable!
She leaned back on the sofa, slightly tilted her head, rested the back of her hand over her eyes, and chuckled softly, "I'm home now."
"Home? You're back?" Duan Xingzhou was suddenly surprised, but after the surprise, joy surged in, "You're really home?"
"Dummy, if I weren't home, how would I know you're lying to me?"
