“Where are you? Got time?”
“Come chat for a bit. Sure, come over. It's lively here.”

Where are you?
The standard opening question on phone calls between friends in China, often used instead of 'How are you?'
Do you have any free time? / Are you free?
Use this before asking a favor or inviting someone out so they have room to decline or explain their schedule.
Softens the direct questions, making the inquiry sound friendly, casual, and approachable rather than interrogative.
