She had auto Whoops
Gu Nianzhi inwardly chided herself, but she was reluctant to hang up the phone

She rubbed her nose gently
Huo Shaoheng waited for a long tian to wonder if she had fallen asleep He called softly, “…Nianzhi?”
“Yes, sir!” Gu Nianzhi reflexively shouted in reply, as though she were one of Huo Shaoheng’s soldiers
