Suddenly, Ji Anning's phone rang again, this time with an incoming call. Anxious, she reached into her pocket, touched the screen, and tried to hang up the call.
Just then, the puzzled voice of Yang Yufang reached her ears, "Anning, how come your phone has a signal?"
"Huh?" Ji Anning was also puzzled, and she asked in return, "Isn't there any signal on the island?"
She pulled out her phone, turned her back, and glanced at the screen. The call that had just come in was indeed from Ji Chicheng, and now it had disconnected.
But on the screen was a string of messages, WeChat texts, missed calls, and even news push notifications... The signal bars were full, although it was only 3G.
How could there be no signal then?
"Only landlines can make calls from here," Yang Yufang said, her voice filled with confusion as she leaned in to look at Anning's phone screen.
