The next day at noon, Lu Jingyan put the dumplings, which were chilled with several ice packs, in the car.
She was driving halfway when she hit a red light, so she picked up her cell phone to check the incessantly ringing WeChat messages.
It was only midday, yet everyone had already started sending their well-wishes.
Lu Jingyan casually replied to a few, then somehow ended up tapping into Sheng Xian's chat window.
Last night at 6:47 PM, she had responded to Sheng Xian's message.
Lu Jingyan, "Okay."
Sheng Xian, "Should I pick you up tomorrow?"
Lu Jingyan, "No need, I'll drive."
Sheng Xian, "Fine, I'll go buy some stuff at the supermarket, then. See you tomorrow."
Lu Jingyan, "See you tomorrow."
Lu Jingyan's mind went blank for two seconds, then she put down her phone as the light in front turned from red to green and she stepped on the gas again.
The bag of dumplings on the passenger seat swayed, and she instinctively reached out to steady it.
