'Is it the weekend today?'
Time really flies. A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Duke hadn't called again since she hung up on him last time. Yu Zhizhi had forgotten about him as well, not deliberately thinking of him.
She had saved the Duke's number in her communicator.
But she didn't know what trick he'd used; even though the number was saved, it still showed up as [Unknown Caller].
'It's still early. He's probably still busy.'
'I'll call him later tonight.'
「Night fell.」
Yu Zhizhi hesitated for a moment before slowly making her way to the staircase and sitting down on the steps.
'I'll go back to the attic after this call.'
The fireplace in the wooden cabin burned quietly with blocks of smokeless tea wood, emitting a faint, pine-like fragrance.
Yu Zhizhi tilted her head and leaned against the railing. She pulled up the communicator's interface, a floating, warm-white screen that asked if she wanted to dial the contact.
She gently tapped [Dial].
