When Ning Wan returned to her rental, she had just reached the stairway's corner when she spotted a girl sitting on the stairs, hugging her knees.
She immediately stopped in her tracks, then quickly walked up, "Qiaoqiao..."
Upon hearing Ning Wan's voice, Song Qiao suddenly lifted her head, but felt her vision blur, so she closed her eyes briefly. She looked quite unsteady, but still managed to speak, "Wanwan... you're back."
Ning Wan hurriedly squatted down to support her, "Qiaoqiao, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
Song Qiao raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose, took a long time to recover, then exhaled before speaking, "I'm fine, just waited for you here for too long and got too hungry."
"Why were you sitting at the door waiting for me? How long have you been here?"
Song Qiao responded bashfully, "I forgot to bring my keys and phone when I went out at noon, so I couldn't get in and just waited here."
