"Hello, Dad!"
Tan Qingxue answered the phone with a meek tone, seemingly prepared to be scolded and lectured.
"Qingxue, are you finished with school? Where are you now?" Tan Zhengxiong's voice came through.
"I just got home!" Tan Qingxue said.
"You're already home?" Tan Zhengxiong paused briefly and lowered his voice, "Step outside to take the call!"
Tan Qingxue glanced back at Xiao Chen, not wanting him to overhear, and walked outside with her phone.
"Dad, do you already know?"
"I don't know anything!" Tan Zhengxiong pretended to be angry, "So tell me the truth, what's the deal with that Xiao guy in your room?"
