It'll be his birthday in another half an hour....
Qiao Anhao bit her lip, clenching her phone. She yearned to call and ask him why he wasn't back, but after finding his number, she realized that she didn't have any excuse to rush him home.

She pressed her lips, forcing herself to put down her phone. Hugging her arms, she curled up at the edge of the sofa, her mind running as she stared at the television.
