Back at the apartment, she collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep. Qiao Xiaren had already been sleep-deprived, and after all the rushing around, she was even more exhausted. Finally, she had a good window of time to rest.
The night passed just like that, and she woke up the next day only because she heard knocking at the door. She'd had several dreams last night. Reaching out to check the alarm clock on the table, it was already 7:30 in the morning.
Quickly getting dressed with practiced movements, Qiao Xiaren stepped out of her room. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qiao Zhi standing there holding a variety of breakfast items, a bright smile lighting up his face. "Hi, Qiao! Long time no see."
"Why are you here so early?" Qiao Xiaren asked, a little puzzled.
"Someone called me relentlessly last night, forcing me to leave the bar and drive back overnight. I even set an alarm to make sure I'd get here at this time."
