Afternoon.
At the courtyard door.
Aunt and Sis insisted on walking with him out of the courtyard.
"Little Ye, drive carefully."
"Yea, got it Aunt."
"Thanks, Little Ye."
"Sis, there's no need to say so much. Go back in."
"Okay. Come whenever you have time. There will be someone home all the time anyway."
Not long after he got into his car and drove out of his aunt's alley, his cellphone, that he had thrown onto the passenger seat, rang. His eyes were sharp and he saw Rao Aimin's name appear on the caller ID. He reached out to grab the phone and turned the hands-free mode on through the dashboard.
"Landlady auntie." He held onto his steering wheel as he continued driving.
In a polite manner that Rao Aimin had never done before, she asked, "Where are you??"
"I went to my Sis' place and just left. Why? Is there something?" Zhang Ye asked.
