Chapter 1201: Are You Doing Well?

He Xiyan turned off her phone and tossed it next to her pillow because she didn’t think that she could receive a response.

Just then, her phone buzzed with a notification that she received a new message.

She looked and saw that it was from Jiahang.

He didn’t respond and only sent her an emoticon of a smiling face.

It was the exact same emoticon she had sent him earlier.

She felt her heart race and the excitement on her face could be seen under the lamplight.

She held her phone so tightly that it wasn’t long before a layer of sweat had formed on her palm.

She started typing and sent him a message with the words, ‘Are you doing well?’

She waited for a response after she sent the message.

The fact that he had responded earlier showed that he was still using this number.

She remembered him telling her that he would always keep this number and that she could call him whenever she needed help.

She had never dialed this number.

Time ticked by slowly and her gaze never left the screen. She didn’t know why but for some reason, she wanted to know if he was doing well, whether he had returned to Jingzhou, Mang Village, or to Ming City, and whether or not he had found happiness.

She wanted to know how Mang Village was doing and if the villagers have managed to improve their living conditions.

She took a deep breath as these long-buried memories were dredged up. She suddenly had the urge to find out the answers she was seeking.

She guessed that she had probably always wanted to know the answers to these questions but she had been suppressing her urge to do so.

She sincerely hoped that Jiahang was well.

She stared at her phone for a long while and she was surprised when she didn’t receive a response after more than 10 minutes had passed.

What was going on?

She stared at her screen in confusion and wondered why he didn’t respond when he had responded to her earlier message.

She couldn’t think of a plausible reason no matter how hard she thought.

She laid in bed, tossed and turned, and guessed that he didn’t respond because he had gone to the washroom or answered a call from someone else, but after an hour had passed, she still did not receive a response.

She glanced at the time and saw that it was just slightly past nine, so he couldn’t have fallen asleep.

She was confused and conflicted because she couldn’t understand why Jiahang was suddenly ignoring her.

Did he hate her for insisting to break up back then?

She thought for a long while before she gave in to the urge to dial a number that she had long memorized. She could still recite this number by heart until this day and could even recite it in reverse order.

Soon, she heard the line connect and the melodious piano score known as ‘a comme amour’ could be heard.

She placed her phone next to her ear and waited for Jiahang to pick up.

His phone continued to ring and 30 seconds later, she heard an automated message saying, “Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later!”

She froze in surprise and her brows locked into a deep frown.

She wondered why he was picking up the line when he had just responded to her message an hour earlier.

She found this so strange that she decided to try calling him again.

She heard the same piano score.

This time, she heard the automated message again after 10 seconds, “Hello, the number you have dialed is engaged at the moment. Please try again later!”

He Xiyan was left speechless.

She bit her lips and the look in her eyes changed from confusion to shock under the lamplight.
