When Song Qiao received Ning Wan's call, she was almost dozing off watching a boring Korean drama.
The phone suddenly rang on the table, jolting her awake. Seeing it was Ning Wan's number, she quickly swiped to answer and put it to her ear, "Wanwan, I just called you, why didn't anyone pick up?"
"Qiaoqiao." After half a minute of silence on the other end of the phone, Ning Wan's voice finally came through, "Can you come and pick me up?"
...
Half an hour later, when Song Qiao saw Ning Wan standing alone on the side of a rural road, she leaped out of the car as soon as the driver stopped, and quickly walked up to Ning Wan asking with concern, "What happened? Why are you here by yourself? There's neither village in front nor a store in back. Don't tell me you walked here on your own."
This was a rural road. It took half an hour from the Mu Mansion here, and an hour from the city center.
