"Where's Xia Lihua?" Bo Yanyan inquired, directing her question to Qin Ran.
"I have no idea," Qin Ran replied.
"But she was supposed to find you and Sakura Watanabe," Bo Yanyan scrutinized Qin Ran with a doubtful gaze.
"Oh, that..." Qin Ran sighed, placing a hand on her forehead. "I did run into Xia Lihua on the way, but after that, I don't know where she went."
Sakura Watanabe and Tang Susu had returned to the lounge shortly after Xia Lihua had left. So, Bo Yanyan couldn't understand what was taking Xia Lihua so long and a sense of concern started to creep in.
"There she is!" Qin Ran exclaimed as Xia Lihua returned to the lounge and took her designated seat. Xia Lihua seemed visibly distracted, leaving Bo Yanyan puzzled about what might be going on in her mind.
Bo Yanyan gently asked, "Is everything okay?"
Xia Lihua shook her head slightly and replied, "Nevermind."
