"Are you... planning to stay here tonight?" After Xu Shiyun's car roared away, Wang Lan asked awkwardly.
"My parents must be worried about me... Can I call them?"
"It should be fine now, to let your family know you're safe."
"May I use your phone?"
Xie Sisi had been stripped down to her underwear, and obviously, she had left her phone and wallet behind. Wang Lan gave her his phone, and she walked over to a corner to make the call.
Some time passed, perhaps half an hour, before Xie Sisi returned with swollen eyes.
"Here's your phone back. I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, my life would have been over."
"We're classmates; we should help each other out," Wang Lan said, setting the phone aside.
The basement suddenly grew quiet, and the scent of Xie Sisi's perfume filled Wang Lan's nostrils. Only the two of them were present, and the atmosphere suddenly became very intimate.
"Umm... Xie Sisi."
