Yijun was roused from his bed by Lu Lingxiao at exactly one o'clock in the morning.
He had just fallen asleep when Lu Lingxiao's call came through like a death knell, incessant if he didn't answer.
Lu Lingxiao was usually composed; it was rare for him to be like this.
Yijun groggily grabbed his phone and held it up to his face, half-opening his eyes as he spoke, "Lingxiao, it's so late, what can't wait until morning?"
"Green Field Club, room 704, half an hour."
Yijun let out a long sigh and said, "I just got back from there half an hour ago. Can't you talk on the phone? I haven't closed my eyes in over 20 hours."
"Can't, you've got 27 minutes left."
Lu Lingxiao laid down his ultimatum.
Yijun sat up in bed with a scowl, still not fully awake, searching for his pants to put on.
...
Inside the club's private room.
Lu Lingxiao had been there for a while already; he had called not just Yijun, but several other brothers as well.
