Ji Liang did not answer it.
But Su Bei was a patient person, he kept calling him again and again.
Finally, on the sixth call, Ji Liang answered.
The voice of Ji Liang sounded kind of depressive, “Is it Su Bei?”
Su Bei answered, “I just want to tell you I’m taking good care of Qiqi. If you are busy, I’ll hang up.”
Ji Liang’s voice became kind of clearer, “Wait. Tell me what Qiqi did today.”
Su Bei replied, “Just eat, drink and poop.”
Ji Liang, “…”
Su Bei coughed, “But I can tell you what I did today.”
Ji Liang wore a gentle smile, “Go ahead.”
Su Bei thought for a moment, “Eat, drink and poop.”

Ji Liang’s laugh sounded from the other end of the phone, so tingling.
748, “Captivating bar of A increased by 5%, current progress 30%.”
Su Bei made a cough and said, “Well, I didn’t go out, so I didn’t do anything.”
Ji Liang said gently, “It’s OK. Say something else.”
Su Bei nearly lost in Ji Liang’s tender voice. How could a man’s voice be so sexy?
He thought about it and found that he had nothing to say.
Then stretched out his hand and grabbed a book, started to read from a random place.
Ji Liang did not hang up the phone, just listening quietly.
“When the lamb quieted down, did you hear the cry and whisper from the darkest corner of your heart?”
“The struggle between angel and demon, the world loves the former and fears the latter.”
Su Bei read a few words, found something wrong, then he closed the book to see the cover, “Classic Sentences of Silence of the Lambs”!

What kind of pirated book? Is the Silence of the Lambs supposed to be in English?
Then Ji Liang’s sound was heard, “Why not continue it?”
Su Bei threw away the book and read aloud casually, “When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.”
Ji Liang was silent for a moment, “There is no such sentence in the book.”
Su Bei, “I know, where did you get this book?”
Although the voice of Ji Liang was gentle, it was mixed with some kind of unspoken feeling, “I picked it up somewhere.”
Su Bei reached out his hand and pushed the book into the trash can, “It’s not good to read too much of pirated books. I’ll read you a new one.”
Ji Liang said OK.
748, “Captivating bar of A increased by 5%,current progress 35%.”
Then Su Bei told Ji Liang a fable, “The farmer saw a hibernating snake on the road. He had a bad heart and wanted to catch it and bring it home to eat.”
Then the snake woke up halfway and bit the farmer dead.

Ji Liang was silent for a moment, “Finished?”
Su Bei answered, “Yes, finished.”
Ji Liang chuckled, “This is different from the edition of the farmer and the snake I read about.”
Su Bei said reasonably, “Mine is the original edition of the farmer and the snake story.”
“Don’t snakes hibernate in winter? What warm it to wake it up?”
Ji Liang chuckled, “What is the moral of this fable?”
Su Bei answered, “It tells us that we should not be too stupid, or we will be killed by our own stupidity.”
He paused a bit and then continued, “It seems like I should tell you this story, but anyway, I already told you. You can tell it to someone else someday.”
Ji Liang kept silent for a long while, and only said ‘OK’ when Su Bei nearly fell asleep.
748, “Captivating bar increased by 10%, current progress 45%.”
Ji Liang then said softly, “I gotta things to do. Bye.”
Su Bei had no objection and hang up the phone.
At night, when Su Bei was sleeping soundly, he heard someone opened the door.
Su Bei woke up with a start and thought it was a thief.
