What's Wrong with Getting a New Wife? [Rebirth] [MTL]

Chapter 53

Gu Ji held the phone in his hand and glanced at the bathroom with a confused look on his face.

　　Why make a phone call when you can hear me just by shouting?

　　But the phone was still ringing, and it didn't seem like it was an accidental ring. Maybe someone really wanted to talk to him about something.

　　Without knowing why, Gu Ji still picked up the phone, "Hello? Xiaoyan?"

　　Yan Congyu called out on the phone, and the voice on the phone overlapped with the voice coming from the bathroom: "Gu Xiaoji."

　　Gu Ji responded.

　　Yan Congyu: "...what are you doing?"

　　Gu Ji was completely confused.

　　He walked to the bathroom door and knocked on it. "What's wrong?"

　　Yan Congyu felt relieved when he heard Gu Ji's normal tone. He was worried that the other party would be affected by the rainy day.

　　He knew that Gu Ji had some secrets, such as he could not stand rainy nights, and the barbecue restaurant had a sudden power outage last time, and the other party's reaction was a little strange.

　　Yan Congyu didn't know what happened behind the scenes, he only knew that such a fragile Gu Ji was very pitiful.

　　It was raining outside now, and the sound of raindrops hitting the window was getting louder and louder. Yan Congyu was worried that Gu Ji would be scared, so he couldn't feel at ease at all, so he couldn't help but give him a call.

And Gu Ji just said that he can make his own decision.

　　"Nothing." Yan Congyu added, "Don't hang up the phone."

　　Even though we were separated by a bathroom door, we could still hear each other talking without using a cell phone.

　　Gu Ji looked at his phone in confusion, then looked at the bathroom door, thinking that Xiaoyan might be scared but too embarrassed to say it.

　　He remembered that when Lu Chi was a child, he was afraid of ghosts when he slept alone after watching a horror movie. He was obviously very scared but didn't say it directly. He tremblingly talked about this and that with him to ease his fear.

　　Yan Congyu's current behavior is very similar to Lu Chi's before, the type who makes small talk: "...What are you doing now?"

　　Gu Ji leaned against the door and chatted, "I'm listening to you."

　　Under the sound of splashing water, Yan Congyu's next sentence was still nonsense, "Are you at the door?"

　　"I'm here." Gu Ji was amused, "Do you want to come out and take a look?"

　　The meaningless repetitive talk was repeated several times, but Gu Ji did not feel impatient, he just found it a little funny.

　　Talking on the phone through a door is so childish.

　　He waited until Yan Congyu finished taking a shower before hanging up the phone and preparing to go out.

　　As soon as the bathroom door opened, the misty steam came out and blocked the view. Yan Congyu didn't pay much attention. He tripped over something as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom. In addition, he was distracted and lost his balance.

　　"——!" Gu Ji originally just wanted to play a joke on Yan Congyu, but he didn't expect to actually trip him. His pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed him, but was a beat too late.
