The BBQ shop was unusually quiet at the moment; most people had even stopped eating, making the new message notification seem particularly jarring.
But it was this brief news alert that easily eased the tense atmosphere inside, and the other customers began to eat their food again, though they still cast glances at Fu Han now and then.
It seemed everyone had a love for gossip, especially when it happened right beside them.
Fu Han took out her phone from her bag, and only then did she realize that besides the unread messages from He Xing, there were also Whatsapp messages and texts from Nan Qing; it was probably because Nan Qing didn't get a reply on Whatsapp that she sent a text message, triggering the notification.
Nan Qing's message was asking Fu Han why she hadn't come back yet, that it was too late and unsafe to be outside.
