"Oh, maybe I was just hallucinating."
Xu Manning chuckled self-deprecatingly. Her female assistant thoughtfully suggested, "Why don’t you take a nap, President Xu? We still have a while before getting off."
"I’m not sleepy, I slept quite soundly yesterday."
As she spoke, Xu Manning’s face slightly reddened, and at the sa ti, her phone chid with a WeChat ssage. She picked it up and looked...
Li Peifeng: "Are you on the high-speed train?"
Xu Manning’s eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly open, and she typed back in puzzlent: "How did you know?"
Li Peifeng: "Soft sleeper, four people, three won and one man. You just made a phone call with soone surnad Liu."
What the heck?!
Shock made Xu Manning’s grip on her phone unstable. Once she recovered, her mind sward with questions. Could Li Peifeng be...
"Which carriage are you in?!!!"
Excited, Xu Manning imdiately stood up and peeked outside the door, trying to spot a familiar figure, but to no avail. She then felt it was impossible.
Besides her subordinates, neither Wu Wenyue nor Li Peifeng could have known about her trip. She hadn’t specially ntioned it, so there was no chance he had gone to the trouble of flying over and boarding the sa train just to surprise her.
"Then... this?"
Xu Manning walked along the train aisle, glancing into each cabin, feeling ever more doubtful. Checking her phone again, Li Peifeng had said, ’Stop looking.’
He even knows I’m looking for him?!
Without hesitation, Xu Manning called Li Peifeng on video.
"Hey, hey, hey!! Honey! How did you know?"
On the screen, Li Peifeng was sitting in the bedroom, smiling, "Did I really guess right?"
"Yes!" Seeing him at ho, Xu Manning exclaid, "Not a single bit off. How did you know?" Then her expression changed, and she blurted out, "Was it my mom leaking information? No, she didn’t know whom I was calling earlier... Wait, do you know Yingying? Did she tell you just now?"
"Who’s Yingying?"
"My female assistant! When did you two et?" Xu Manning started questioning, "Was it the last ti you ca to the factory to see ..."
"Where are you going with this!" Li Peifeng hurriedly interrupted, "Believe it or not, I was just typing, and suddenly this scene popped into my mind of you on the train making the call. It felt strange, so I wanted to ask if you were really on the train... I actually guessed right?"
Li Peifeng looked genuinely surprised, appearing incredulous.
"It’s true!"
Xu Manning wasn’t sure what to say, feeling both surprised and delighted but couldn’t help being skeptical, "Are you sure Yingying didn’t tattle on ?"
"I don’t even know who Yingying is! Perhaps it’s just telepathy... Hey, I see it again!"
Li Peifeng shouted, "Don’t look at the screen, look out the window, is there a river in the distance?"
Xu Manning’s gaze focused as she turned slightly to look out the window. In the distance, there was a bright river winding down, the water shimring under the sunlight, calm like a mirror, yet her heart was roaring like a storm!
"There is, really?"
Xu Manning’s mouth dropped open in disbelief. She looked back at the screen after a few seconds, confird it was the front cara, and hadn’t captured the outside. She began to babble, "How did you see that? Honey... Li Peifeng? Are you psychic or a magician?"
"Maybe it’s because I miss you so much."
Li Peifeng sighed softly, "It’s said the distance of yearning is less than the certainty of the tide, the depth of love beyond the sea. Four days without seeing you feels like a year has passed. This intense longing made sense your scene even from thousands of miles away... Perhaps this is having a connection with you, heart to heart."
"Really?" Xu Manning pouted, touched yet still a bit skeptical, "It’s only been four days."
"Then how do you explain that I could sense you?"
Li Peifeng seed to complain, "You don’t even miss . Even if you miss , it’s not as much as I miss you. Otherwise, you’d feel this telepathy and see what I’m doing."
This unreasonable act isn’t exclusive to won; guys can definitely use it on their girlfriends too!
"... I miss you."
Xu Manning imdiately started to speak coyly, "Honey~ don’t be mad, listen, after I hung up the phone, I also heard you call ’dear.’ I thought I was hallucinating, but this counts as my telepathy with you, right?"
"Barely counts, but it’s not enough!" Li Peifeng said dissatisfied, "I saw your surroundings and you didn’t, it still shows you don’t miss enough!"
Xu Manning was at a loss for words and tried to change the subject, "I bought lots of gifts for you and Yueyue this trip, I’ll give them to you when I get back."
"Is it just for , or are the gifts the sa for both of us?"
Xu Manning felt wronged, "Not the sa, I bought two more for you, okay? You’re jealous of Yueyue?"
"What should I do if I miss you now?"
"What do you suggest?"
Miss Xu was also troubled, "I’m more than a thousand kiloters away from the Capital now, I can’t go back in a short while, at least not for another week..."
Li Peifeng snorted, "Say ’I love you’ nine tis, in different tones for each one. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll get mad!"
Xu Manning imdiately lowered her volu, looked around her compartnt, saw her subordinates hadn’t co out, but her face was still flushed, "You’re so annoying, I won’t say it!"
"Won’t say it? Then I’m hanging up!"
