It rang for a long time before it was answered.
Qiao Qiao was still taking a nap. When she woke up, she realized it was almost three o'clock.

Answering the call, "Hello."
Qin Shaonan, "Not fully awake yet?"
Qiao Qiao, "Mm," she responded.
Qin Shaonan looked at the cigarette butt in his hand, "Then sleep a bit more."
Qiao Qiao propped herself up on the bed, struggling to sit up.
Qin Shaonan listened silently on the phone as he heard her uneven breathing.
After a moment, Qiao Qiao's still-groggy voice came over the line, "No more sleeping, it'll be too late if I do."
Qin Shaonan acknowledged with a hum and asked softly, "Back then, was it you who went to find Shaoling?"
"..."
Qiao Qiao froze, holding her phone.
Qin Shaonan, "Speak."
Qiao Qiao took a breath, "I went to her."
