Pei Ge fetched the key to the door from her bag once she got home. However, upon opening the door, she was greeted by the quiet and dark living room. She called out in confusion, "Mom?"
Silence was her only reply.
"Did she go out?" she muttered under her breath. Switching on some lights and changing into her indoor slippers, she went straight to her bedroom.
Her hand phone rang just as she put down her handbag.
Retrieving the hand phone from her handbag, her mouth curled up and her eyes wrinkled at the corner at the caller ID she saw.
"Hello, Xiaoyu—" Before Pei Ge could speak further, a series of blathering came through the phone first.
"Pei Ge, I tell you; no matter how cowardly you are, you must look for that man tomorrow!"
"Puh!" Pei Ge burst into peals of laughter at Tang Xiaoyu's opening sentence.
"Laugh! What are you laughing for?!" Tang Xiaoyu felt exasperated when she heard Pei Ge laugh.
