Li Xiaoyao really hadn't noticed that Officer Zhang was such a chatterbox; after settling down at the table, he barely stopped talking, essentially carrying the conversation on his own.
Li Xiaoyao and his friends had their meal especially early, and judging by the pace, he estimated they would finish eating around 5:30 PM. However, Li Xiaoyao still sent a message to Tang Tiantian, telling her he was at a social engagement and would probably be home late, advising her to eat on her own and not wait for him.
Several minutes later, Tang Tiantian replied with a simple "Oh."
Li Xiaoyao put away his phone and continued to drink and boast with Officer Zhang, while Zhu Xiaoyue chatted with Zhang Meng.
The girls' conversation, as they sat together, revolved around things like makeup, handbags, shoes, and the like.
