Zhou Yuwen said, "I was so busy exchanging pleasantries with relatives just now that I barely ate anything. Did you eat enough?"
Li Shiqi awkwardly smiled, saying she didn't eat well.
In gatherings like this, you hardly get to eat anything.
Zhou Yuwen asked if she wanted to eat something?
Li Shiqi nodded and said, sure.
Then Zhou Yuwen said, but if so, it might mean you get home very late.
Li Shiqi said, "I'm not going home tonight."
"What?" Zhou Yuwen didn't understand Li Shiqi's meaning.
But then Li Shiqi explained that it's already very late.
"My mom and uncle should be asleep. I think they'd prefer me not to go back now."
Seeing Li Shiqi's indifferent demeanor, Zhou Yuwen suddenly remembered that Li Shiqi was from a blended family. Maybe she didn't consider that place her real home.
Zhou Yuwen said, in that case, I'll first book a hotel room for you.
"No need, I just booked one."
"Ah? You booked it?"
"Yeah, Meituan was having a promotion; it's pretty cheap."
