Qiao Lian lifted her head and sized up the room. The moment she did so, she saw someone walking outside.
She paid it no mind and continued waiting, all the while staring at the entrance.
Five minutes passed.
She looked at her cell phone. Zi Chuan had not arrived and had not called her either.
She silently stared at her cell phone. After another five minutes passed, she impatiently dialed Zi Chuan's phone number again.
She could hear his ringtone over the line, but even after a long while, nobody picked up the call.
Qiao Lian frowned. Could it be that he was still on the way and thus could not hear his cell phone ring?
She sat patiently and kept waiting.
Half an hour had elapsed since the agreed-upon time.
However, he had still not arrived.
Qiao Lian held her cell phone and continued calling his phone number.
Her calls could get through, but throughout the entire process, no one picked up any of her calls.
