At this moment, Ji Muran's rational mind told her that she should say "I've already looked at it," or that "it's almost done," in short, she had many possible responses.
But in the end, she couldn't help but say, "No."
On the phone, Shen Wenzhou was silent for a moment, then finally asked, "Where are you now?"
"In the store," Ji Muran replied, then remembering Shen Wenzhou didn't know where her store was, she continued, "It's just..."
But before Ji Muran could finish, Shen Wenzhou interrupted her.
"I know, I'm coming over to find you," Shen Wenzhou said, while already beginning to move.
Over the phone, Ji Muran heard the noises from Shen Wenzhou's side, and she swallowed again, the dry pain in her throat making her struggle to stay awake.
Clearly she was awake, so why did the words she spoke sound so muddled?
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes," Shen Wenzhou said.
"Okay," Ji Muran answered. She didn't ask why Shen Wenzhou wanted to come over.
