The night bus continued its unhurried journey along the interstate highway; the only ones likely still awake inside were Chen Ke and the driver.
The temperature might have dropped suddenly during the night, making it slightly colder. Sleery squeezed into Chen Ke's arms, tightened her jacket, and rested her head on Chen Ke's chest, mumbling in her sleep.
Chen Ke remained stiff in his seat, adjusting her slightly, when he felt a vibration coming from Sleery's body.
"Hmm? Why is this girl vibrating?" Chen Ke was startled, feeling the rhythmic vibration coming from the right side of Sleery's body.
It was a phone.
Chen Ke's right hand reached over Sleery's head, embracing her while he fished into the right pocket of her jacket and pulled out Sleery's iPhone.
The caller ID on the screen displayed "Dad."
Chen Ke raised an eyebrow, holding the phone and unsure whether to answer it; he thought about waking Sleery to take the call but decided to answer it himself.
"Beep..."
