"Who is this?" Chen Yuan was a little dazed. The call was from his girlfriend's number, but the voice on the other end was a stranger's.
"Hello, you must be Ningning's boyfriend, right?"
The woman's voice on the other end of the line clearly belonged to someone older, inexplicably reminding Chen Yuan of one of his elders.
"Yes… I am. Did something happen to her?"
"It's nothing serious. After the New Year's gala at your school today, Ningning, another friend, and I went out to celebrate and had dinner. She seems to have had a bit too much to drink. Could you come pick her up?"
"Okay, tell me the address. I'll be right there."
Chen Yuan scrambled out of bed. He was shirtless, having just showered and gotten ready for sleep. The bedroom light was still on.
He grabbed some clothes from his closet, hung up the phone, and glanced at the address sent via text. He called a taxi and hurried downstairs.
