Sheng Tang chatted with Gu Shiting for a few minutes, and it was about time. To prevent her family from getting suspicious, she told him to head back quickly.
"Then, see you on the second day of the new year," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang agreed.
She ran all the way back home from the neighborhood gate, her face warm and flushed, causing her parents to suspect nothing.
Feeling guilty, Sheng Tang went to take a shower first.
While she was showering, the phone rang several times, all calls were from Gu Jiahui.
No one answered.
After showering, Sheng Tang called him back.
"Happy New Year," Sheng Tang said, "How are you doing at your aunt's place?"
"Pretty good." There was a hint of relaxation in Gu Jiahui's voice, different from when they spoke the previous year, "Do you want to come over tomorrow?"
"Is it necessary?" Sheng Tang hesitated.
Gu Jiahui stayed silent on the other end.
Then he said, "Not really necessary. Never mind, you don't have to come."
Sheng Tang: "..."
