What are you thinking? I've been calling you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce reacted instinctively—snatching his hand back lightning-fast, his dull eyes instantly sharpening with dangerous glints before quickly softening again as he turned to Xie Antong with a puzzled look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were spacing out,\" Xie Antong said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did you call me?
