"Really? Grandpa, tell me something about Auntie when she was little."
Little Bean got excited when she heard the stories about her auntie's childhood.
But Huo Mian got anxious and reminded her, "Little Bean, the time is up. Say goodbye to Grandpa."
"Huh? So soon… But I'm not finished yet…"
She was a kid and didn't know about the adults' concern about safety and secrecy.
As Huo Mian's eyes turned stern, Little Bean immediately said to the phone, "Grandpa, goodbye. Please take care of yourself."
She handed the phone back to her mom.
Huo Mian took it to say goodbye.
"Dad, you and Yan must take good care of yourselves."
"Child, are you okay? Did something happen?"
"No. I just missed you. Okay, I can't take more of your time. Bye, Dad."
"Okay, bye."
Hanging up, Huo Mian felt lost. She didn't dare to talk too much with her father, fearing her smart father would notice something.
