After a round of greetings, Xia Chuyi said to the other end of the phone, "Mom and Dad, itâs morning here, but itâs already late over there, you shouldnât stay up any longer, go to sleep first."
A moment later, Xia Chuyi hung up the phone.
Xia Chuyi knew that her parents would definitely stay by the phone, waiting for her to call back and say sheâs safe.
And because of the time difference between the two places, she was so insistent on calling back home.
Next, Xia Chuyi made a call to Huo Shiqian. Like her parents, Huo Shiqian was also waiting for her call.
"You arrived?" Huo Shiqian asked her in a deep voice, "Are you still getting used to everything?"
"Yes, I arrived." Xia Chuyi lightly tapped her hand and replied softly, "Barely getting used to it, but still feeling a bit melancholic since everything is unfamiliar."
When facing her parents, Xia Chuyi only reported good news.
But facing Uncle Liberation Army, she couldnât help but feel a bit sour inside and wanted to confide.
Upon hearing Xia Chuyiâs words, Huo Shiqian on the other end said, "Itâs alright, hang in there, half a year will go by quickly..."
Then, after a brief silence, he added, "If you really canât get used to it, you can come back early, and Iâll handle the follow-up matters."
This was telling her that if she really couldnât take it, she can just come back.
Any trouble that arises, he would take care of it all.
Receiving such "comfort," Xia Chuyiâs slightly sour heart suddenly turned sweet.
"Alright then, the land of the United States is just ordinary land, and the people of the United States are just ordinary people." Xia Chuyi said with a smile, "Donât worry, Iâm okay."
The other end of the phone fell silent again.
Xia Chuyi seemed to hear Huo Shiqian sigh.
"Chuyi, over there with Jiang Fengqi, Iâve already contacted her through the Jiang Family." Huo Shiqian suddenly said, "If you have any questions, you can go to her for help."
"Jiang Fengqi? Senior Sister Jiang?" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was slightly surprised.
She didnât expect Huo Shiqian to think ahead like this.
Xia Chuyi smiled gently, "Thank you, Brother Shi Qian."
After chatting for a while, they reluctantly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Chuyi handed the phone bill she incurred to the team leader teacher and asked the teacher to pay for it.
After paying the phone bill, Xia Chuyi noticed that Xie Junping was silent, so she said to him, "Senior Brother Xie, itâs your turn to make a call."
But unexpectedly, Xie Junping shook his head and said, "Forget it, I wonât call."
"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was immediately quite surprised.
Seeing her expression, Xie Junping rubbed his nose and said, "I forgot there is a time difference between the United States and Z. If I call back now, they might have already gone to sleep."
"Iâm a son, not a daughter, my parents wonât specifically wait for me." Xie Junping said this deliberately in a sour tone.
Xia Chuyi couldnât help but laugh, saying, "Then Senior Brother Xie, wait for a few days, when we settle in, and calculate the domestic time, then you make the call."
Xie Junping spread his hands and said, "Thatâs all I can do."
Since they werenât calling anymore, the two said goodbye to the team leader teacher and returned to the student dormitoryâthe teacher didnât live with them.
On the way back, Xie Junping said to her, "You just called Huo Shiqian, didnât you?"
"Yes." Xia Chuyi nodded slightly, not concealing it.
Since Xie Junping knew her identity, and her family had old ties with her mother, it showed that everyone was part of the same circle.
In that circle, of course, everyone knew about Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqianâs engagement.
However, Xie Junping wasnât a gossip, he didnât say much about this; he only said, "I vaguely heard you mention Jiang Fengqi?"
