"Little sister, we..." Xu Nian'an had just opened his mouth when he paused. He couldn't even think of a reason why he had to go back. He looked to Pei Yicheng for help.
Pei Yicheng cleared his throat and said, "There's a minor issue at the factory, so Nian'an and I plan to go back for a bit. It's nothing important, so we didn't tell you."
"Really?"
Xu Nianhua obviously didn't buy it. Her eyes said, 'Don't lie to me.' She said, "Brother Cheng, second brother, are you sneaking back to South City because you're afraid I'll worry? Second brother, I remember it's almost exam time, you're busy every day — you have time to go home? Don't hide it from me. Did something happen at home?"
"No." Xu Nian'an answered instantly.
Pei Yicheng lowered his eyes, not wanting to lie to Xu Nianhua.
Xu Nianhua pressed her lips together, holding the ticket in her hand. She went straight to the ticket window and bought another train ticket.
