She didn't dare linger any longer, worried that Si Ye might change his mind, so she hurriedly hailed a cab and rushed back home.
Seeing the lights on upstairs as she stood downstairs, her heart leapt with joy; her mother must have returned.
Walking through the door, indeed she saw Chen Zhi's mother sitting at home.
"Xiaozhi, you're back. What are you carrying in your hand?"
"Mom, where have you been? You came back so late; I was worried sick." Chen Zhi set down her suitcase and sat down beside her.
Chen Zhi's mother smiled faintly, "Auntie Zhang from downstairs asked me to accompany her to People's Square for dancing, so I came back late. What is it you're carrying?"
"Oh, I gave up the lease on my apartment, and I plan to move back in. Why was your phone turned off? I couldn't reach you at all."
"The phone ran out of battery. Did you come back before?"
"Yeah, I came back first and saw you weren't home, so I went to my rented place to move my luggage over."
