Jiang Yi's words were interrupted when Zhu Shuanghua's phone suddenly rang.
"Hold on a second," she said.
Zhu Shuanghua made a gesture to pause the conversation and stood up to walk over to her phone, which was not far away.
She answered a call in front of Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi looked at her foolishly, unable to hear the content of the phone call, but faintly recognizing that the call must have been from Gu Xici.
After a few brief sentences, Zhu Shuanghua hung up and returned to Jiang Yi.
"What were you saying just now? I didn't catch it. What else...?" she asked.
In that moment, Jiang Yi seemed to suddenly come back to her senses, pausing for a moment.
Then, trying to calm her restless heart, she said, "Oh, it's nothing, I was just saying... I still like the salmon patties you make."
