She thanked him, turned around, and walked back.
Her steps quickened, and she hurried back to her father's room, where her mother was playing chess with her father.
"Jiajia, it's chilly outside; don't keep running out."
Her father, feeling concerned, reminded her.
"Mom and Dad, I'm heading home first; I'll come by later," Ji Anning said as she picked up her bag, greeted her parents, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly remembering something, her mother said to her, "Anning, your phone kept ringing just now."
Thinking it might be Ji Chicheng calling, Ji Anning nodded and said "Oh," while walking and pulling out her phone. Several missed calls appeared just as her phone began to ring again.
The caller ID read 'Danning.'
Why was Danning suddenly calling her? Ji Anning, puzzled, answered the phone, "Hello, Danning."
Talking as she walked.
