When Song Qiao received Ning Wan's phone call, she was almost falling asleep watching a dull Korean drama.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, startling her awake. She picked it up and saw Ning Wan's number. Hurriedly, she swiped the answer key and held it to her ear, "Wanwan, why didn't anyone pick up when I called you just now?"
"Qiaoqiao." After half a minute of silence, Ning Wan's voice finally came through, "Can you come pick me up?"
…
Half an hour later, Song Qiao saw Ning Wan standing all alone on the roadside in the suburbs. As soon as the driver stopped the car, she jumped out and walked quickly to Ning Wan. Concerned, she opened her mouth to ask, "What's going on? Why are you here all by yourself? This place is in the middle of nowhere. Don't tell me you got here on your own."
This is the suburban road; it takes half an hour to get here from the Mu Mansion and an hour from the city center.
