"Zhi Ning, you're back. What did he say?" Hearing the door open, Xia Zhiqing, who was looking at the music score, glanced up and asked, but soon noticed her sister's expression was off, her brows furrowing: "Zhi Ning, did he bully you?"
"No... no." Xia Zhining absentmindedly replied, then said, "He said he's been busy lately, but it will settle down once he's done."
She herself forgot one thing, which was that she forgot to ask when he might be finished.
"I heard that it's harvest time outside the city now, probably busy with that," Zhiqing realized and then continued, "By the way, Zhi Ning, why are you back so late? Where did you go?"
"Went outside the city." Xia Zhining said while moving to the bed, bending over and groping under the pillow, her heart skipped a beat.
Because the gold ring she kept under the pillow was missing, she immediately turned to ask her sister, "Sis, where is the ring I left under my pillow?"
