Chapter 1498: Chapter 1497: The Lost Mood

Gu Joy pursed her lips, thoughts swirling in her mind.

Yes, she wanted to call Zhou Yanlin; they had both been busy recently and hadn’t really kept in touch. She had no idea how he was doing.

She knew he was the type to share only good news and not his troubles. Having just arrived there, he must be facing some challenges, starting with the language and food.

But every time he called back, he would lightly say that everything was fine.

When Gu Joy heard this, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy. She knew he didn’t want her to worry, so she could only play along.

She guessed that going forward, she would have to live with worry and fear.

Gu Joy hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone to make the call.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered.

Clearly, the person on the other end was surprised, as was evident from his voice.

Zhou Yanlin was indeed very delighted; it was unexpected that Gu Joy would call him. Could it be that she missed him?

His heart leapt with joy, and he quickly answered the phone, “Joy, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Although he missed her dearly, he still hoped she could rest well.

Zhou Yanlin had calculated the time difference perfectly; he was concerned about disturbing Gu Joy’s sleep.

“Hmm, I finished my exams today, and I went shopping with Yuan Wen, so I’m back quite late,” Gu Joy replied, her whole being relaxing upon hearing his voice.

“You’re done with exams?” Time flew by so fast. “Are you heading back soon?”

“Yeah, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow.” She had already booked her ticket.

“Then be careful. I might not be able to come back.” With important classes starting now and a lot of labs, he had not been there long and guessed he wouldn’t be able to return this year, only during the summer break.

“It’s okay, you take care too.” She understood that he had gone abroad for his studies.

At their age, it was the prime time for learning, and they really couldn’t afford to waste time on love affairs. She was rather open-minded about this.

“Okay, I know. I’ll contact you often,” Zhou Yanlin said. He was worried about Gu Joy feeling insecure.

“No worries, you just focus on doing your best,” Gu Joy responded.

She had more to say, but suddenly a girl’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Yan Lin, are you done with your things?”

When Gu Joy heard the voice, she paused.

It was a familiar voice… Was it Lu Xinxin?

Th𝒾𝕤 𝙘hаp†ℯr 𝒾𝑠 p𝐨𝕤𝖙𝖾∂ b𝑦 𝙆𝒾𝘵ꬲ𝖓Օ𝗏ꬲ𝗅

Because the person spoke in Chinese and the voice was familiar, Gu Joy was sure of it.

Hearing this, she suddenly froze.

She came to see Zhou Yanlin?!

Instantly, Gu Joy’s heart felt a tinge of sourness; the feeling was complex, and she didn’t quite know how to describe it properly.

Clearly, Zhou Yanlin was also taken aback before he finally said to Gu Joy, “Joy, I’m a bit busy with some things now, I’ll contact you later.”

“Hmm, I’m going to sleep too, you go ahead with your work,” Gu Joy responded, trying her best to ignore the feeling in her heart.

“Alright then, rest early, and I’ll contact you after I’m done,” said Zhou Yanlin, before he hung up.

This was the first time he had hung up first. Gu Joy listened to the “beep beep” of the phone line, feeling a hollow emptiness in her heart.

Now her mind was a blank, not knowing what to think.

She sat there, phone in hand, zoning out, the voice she just heard echoing in her head—why had Lu Xinxin come looking for Zhou Yanlin?

Were they often together?

Doubts couldn’t help but surface in Gu Joy’s heart.
