She had just sat down for afternoon tea when Jiang Nuan received a text message from someone as expected.
[What are you doing?]
[Drinking water.]
[Are you outside? With whom?]
Jiang Nuan raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was being too nosy, but her fingers flew across the phone, instantly replying.
[Grandma. We're out shopping.]
Her eye caught the shopping bags nearby. After a moment of thought, she started typing another message in the chat box but hadn't sent it.
His message came over first.
[Finish your tea and wait for me at the first bench outside the square next to Chang'an Street.]
Wait for him?
Isn't he in Hechuan County?
Jiang Nuan frowned, deleted the 'I have a surprise for you' she had typed earlier, and replaced it with.
[You're back?]
[You said there was too much to do in Hechuan County, and you wouldn't be back for another nine days?]
Her message vanished into the void, with no response.
