After ending the call, she held her cellphone and returned to her dormitory.
Before going to bed, Tang Li composed a text message: "Don't smoke like last night again, I heard that nicotine and tar kill sperm, which isn't good for future conception."
After the period, she added a [Soldier With Cigarette] emoji.
Song Baiyan hadn't rested yet when he received the text message; he was looking for a signing pen in his study. His cellphone vibrated on the desk, and he picked it up to take a look.

She stepped through the great gates of the Lai Family just after 8 in the morning.
