After hanging up, Chen Chuan said, "Auntie, it looks like I can't stay for dinner. My teacher needs me back at school."
Yu Wan quickly replied, "Go take care of your business. I'll be here at home, so don't you worry."
Chen Chuan grunted in acknowledgment. He got his coat and put it on. Yu Wan came over to straighten it for him, tidying it up before saying, "Chan'Er, you be careful too."
Chen Chuan nodded, put on his hat, and walked to the door. "Auntie, I'm leaving now. I'll come for dinner on my next day off." With that, he pushed the door open and left.
He grabbed his bicycle from the courtyard and rode straight back to school.
When he arrived at the dormitory, he saw Cheng Zitong standing in front of a car, waiting for him. "You're here," Cheng Zitong said. "Get in. We'll talk inside."
Chen Chuan immediately got in. As soon as he sat down, he noticed a radio on Cheng Zitong's driver's seat, which was playing a follow-up to the news bulletin from earlier.
