Chapter 310 - 309: Choice (3)
Xiaxia, I’m back...
The familiar tone of gentleness slowly made its way into Ling Chuxia’s ears. Though she was still somewhat groggy, now she was instantly awake. Her eyes shot wide open, her voice still a bit hoarse with sleep, yet she was incredulous, "Elder sister? You, you’re back?"
A light laugh seemed to come from the other end, sweet and pleasing to the ear, "Why so surprised? Didn’t I tell you that I would be back soon?"
Ling Chuxia’s eyes remained widely opened, completely unable to process the information.
Ling Yunshu seemed to sense her astonishment and confusion and did not rush her. After waiting for a while, she spoke gently, "I just got off the plane. Are you coming to pick me up?"
Ling Chuxia struggled to gather her thoughts, let out a hum of acknowledgment, and Ling Yunshu told her roughly where she was waiting before hanging up the phone.
Ling Chuxia lay stunned on the bed for several minutes, listening to the dial tone in her ear. Her muddled brain gradually began to clear.
Elder sister has come back... Elder sister has come back!
Unconsciously, Ling Chuxia stretched out her hand and pinched her own cheek forcefully. Pain surged in, and Ling Chuxia winced slightly, but then she leaped up from the bed with a start.
She wasn’t dreaming—her elder sister was truly back! And now, she had to go to the airport to pick up her sister!
Ling Chuxia took a deep breath, trying hard to digest the news. Yet, whether she had been looking forward to it for too long or it was just too sudden, for a moment, she didn’t quite know how to react.
