When Huo Chang Yuan was called out by the little bun from the study room upstairs, he had already anxiously paced back and forth in front of the French window, holding onto his phone and calling Sang Xiao Yu non-stop. However, no matter how long it took, only the female voice of the system reminded him that the caller was temporarily unable to connect.
"Wan-wang, what's wrong?"
Lin Wan Bai turned his head to look at him, and immediately felt that he had found his backbone. "Huo Chang Yuan, what do we do …"
Swallowing her saliva, she hurriedly said, "I just watched the news. There's an earthquake in South Africa, and that's where Xiaoyu is. I've called many times, but I've never been able to get through! "Little Fishy … Will she …"
After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he was extremely shocked.
He took out his cell phone and quickly scanned through the news that he had received a few minutes ago. It was indeed the same one she had mentioned.
By the time he put down the phone and looked up, Lin Wan Bai's entire face was covered in tears. Furthermore, warm tears were constantly flowing out of her eyes, Huo Chang Yuan's heart was in pain, he wiped them off with his fingers, "Wan, don't cry!"
Lin Wan Bai's heart was filled with worry for his best friend. How could he control it?
Huo Chang Yuan saw that he could not pacify her and was afraid that her emotional fluctuations would cause too much harm to her body, so he said, "Don't scare the child!"
Hearing his words, Lin Wan Bai looked down to see herself hugging onto her thigh, a pair of eyes as big as black grapes, filled with fear, she immediately stopped her tears, and quickly wiped them away with her hands.
She rubbed the little bun's head, telling him not to be scared, and not just him, there was also a little life inside his stomach. She could not scare the children, so she sniffed a little, allowing Lin Wan Bai to calm down.
Huo Chang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, he pulled her into his embrace, caressing his back, he said: "Wan-wen, don't be anxious, we don't know the details of the situation yet, and don't think about the bad aspects, it might just be impossible to contact his at the moment, Little Fishy has his own people, it will be fine!"
"En!" Lin Wan Bai nodded heavily.
There was nothing she could do due to her anxiety. Right now, she could only pray like this!
For the entire afternoon after that, Lin Wan Bai was weighed down with matters of the heart, and he didn't eat much dinner. Before he went to sleep, he continued to call his best friend, Sang Xiao Yu, while still holding his phone.
But unfortunately, he didn't get a response after a long time.
A cup of hot milk was handed over and Huo Chang Yuan sat down beside her, blocking most of the lights above his head, "You still can't get through?"
Lin Wan Bai shook his head, a look of worry on his face, "I couldn't..."
Not only had she made a phone call, she had also sent a lot of messages and emails. As long as there was any way to contact her, she wouldn't miss any of them.
"Don't worry, we'll try again tomorrow morning."
Lin Wan Bai could only nod his head and sit up to receive the milk cup. He had no appetite.
Huo Chang Yuan stopped them by the side and frowned, "Drink all the milk, you didn't eat anything at night!"
Lin Wan Bai was helpless, he could only obediently finish the remaining half of the cup of milk.
Seeing that the cup was empty, Huo Chang Yuan finally relaxed a bit. He first kissed the corner of her mouth, then used his fingers to caress the strands of hair on her temples and said, "The earthquake just happened, so many things were not certain, and the local authorities should have already started their rescue activities. We have been paying more attention to the news, and I have already contacted the embassy there to carefully check the names of the casualties, none of them has Sang Xiao Yu.
"En!" Lin Wan Bai replied in a low voice.
In the light of the lamp, his deep and serious eyes were filled with pain and worry. Her heart couldn't help but tremble gently, as she gently grabbed onto his palm and said self-reproachfully, "Huo Chang Yuan, I caused you to worry!"
"It's good that you know this!" Huo Chang Yuan snorted, he glanced at the electronic clock and frowned, "It's already 10: 30, you should go to sleep!"
"Alright …" Lin Wan Bai laid down obediently.
He closed his eyes and felt her kiss on his face. Then he listened to his footsteps and went downstairs to change into a cup of hot water. He placed it on the bed beside her bed.
However, Ye Zichen didn't see him lie down for a long time. He couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw that Ye Zichen had also placed his phone beside his ear.
Lin Wan Bai frowned and asked, "Huo Chang Yuan, it's so late, who are you still calling?"
"Si Nian." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai was startled, then he suddenly thought of something, and sighed: "If Dr. Qin knew of the news, he would also be very anxious!"
Both of them had lovers, but they were on their own side. As her best friend, she was already this worried when she found out. She believed that if Qin Si Nian knew about this, he would be as worried and anxious as she was.
Huo Chang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said seriously, "But I haven't been able to contact him yet. I don't know if it's because the signal from the highland is bad, but I can't get through to him from beginning to end."
Lin Wan Bai was surprised, he did not expect Qin Si Nian to not be able to contact him either.
In the end, their connection was fruitless, and the two helplessly hugged and fell asleep.
The next day was a workday. The family of three woke up very early, sat around the dining table and had breakfast. Just as they were about to leave, Lin Wan Bai's phone rang.
There was still one shoe on her foot that she hadn't put on. She held the shoe cabinet and pulled it out. It was FaceTime, and when she saw the number on the display, her voice trembled with emotion.
The drawing quality was a little rough, but Sang Xiao Yu's suntanned round face could clearly be seen.
"Little White!" Sang Xiao Yu smiled at her across the internet, "I saw a lot of your messages on my phone. I knew that you must be worried because of the message, and if you don't have the signal, I will report you as safe!"
When he saw the familiar smile again, Lin Wan Bai's heart that had been held tightly since last night finally relaxed, and she anxiously asked: "Little Yu, are you alright? Are you hurt? "
"No, don't worry!" Sang Xiao Yu smiled merrily, "When the earthquake happened, I was riding in a car on the road, and was not able to escape from the building, and was not injured at all. Even though I was stuck on the road for an entire day, my phone did not send any signal, so the people who were just rescued earlier in the morning were moved to a safe place together!"
Lin Wan Bai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
On the phone's screen, one could see that Sang Xiao Yu's current environment was a little chaotic, the background noises were noisy, and a lot of black people were walking behind.
Looking at the familiar peach blossom eyes, Lin Wan Bai shockingly opened his eyes wide, "Dr. Qin?"
