Since Ji Huan said he had a free afternoon, Zhu Qianyu decided not to bother him at work. She packed her backpack and went out the door. Seeing it was still early, she leisurely strolled from her house's entrance to the main road to catch a bus.
She didn't know where Ji Huan worked. Hesitating for a moment at the bus stop, she finally boarded a bus heading downtown. She got off near a café she liked, planning to have a coffee and read a book to pass the time.
After walking only a few steps, the phone in her bag rang.
She took it out to see it was Ji Huan.
"Xiao Yu, are you awake?"
Ji Huan's cheerful voice made the originally languid Zhu Qianyu suddenly feel energized.
"I woke up early!"
Perhaps the noise of vehicles passing on the main road reached Ji Huan's ears, "Are you outside?"
Without thinking, Zhu Qianyu replied, "Mm."
"Out shopping with your mom?"
"No, alone!"
Zhu Qianyu felt foolish for considering accompanying her mom an important task.
