It was evening when they left the wedding dress shop. The rain had lightened, and a bit of sunshine pierced through the clouds.
Xie Wanying got into Senior Cao's car.
Ren Chongda, who had arrived in an old classmate's car, switched to Student Wei's car. The two were no longer acting as third wheels.
The others drove back in their respective cars.
Kang Mingzhu and Yu Xuexian were heading for a candlelit dinner, so they didn't hurry back, taking a different route.
The route back to Guoxie was quite congested. To return faster, several cars took the outer ring, hoping to speed things up. Midway through, they unexpectedly hit a traffic jam. It was unclear what the situation ahead causing the jam was. Cao Yong and his group attempted to turn around and find another route.
When the phone rang, afraid of Senior Cao giving her a "busy person" look, Xie Wanying turned her face to listen to the call.
"Xie Wanying, it's me, can you recognize the voice?"
It was Zhang Wei's voice.
