It is little known that today, various enterprises, institutions, and schools across the mainland are holding celebratory events. Li Xia’s workplace is no exception; the performance is about to begin, but the factory director, Li Xia, has not yet taken her seat.
She rarely calls Chen Rou. When she does, it is always for official business; she never keeps Chen Rou on the line for idle chatter. Yet, Chen Rou’s two mobile phones and the seven or eight numbers associated with her two homes, her bedroom, her living room, and her company office, occupy every single speed-dial key on Li Xia’s phone.
She really should reply to the text message from Chen Ke. He has been on duty in Kowloon for several days. When he left, she had a cold and was coughing incessantly. Although he is eating now, he is about to return to his post. He sent a message to ask how she was feeling and if her cold had improved; she ought to send a reply to put her husband’s mind at ease.
