He was dreaming.
His cellphone suddenly rang.
Zhang Ye woke up. In a state of confusion, he touched himself all over before he finally found his cellphone in his pocket. He yawned as he answered the call, "Hi, who is this?"
"Who do you think it is?" It was his mother's voice.
He sleepily answered, "Mum, what's the matter?"
His mother asked, "Why aren't you home yet? What time is it already?"
Zhang Ye was a little stunned and repeated, "What time is it?"
"Why don’t you check? It's already past 7 at night. Your dad and I have been waiting for you to eat dinner. I called you earlier, but there was no answer. Where are you? Why were you sleeping? Didn't you go to your leader's birthday celebration?" His mother said angrily, "Are you still coming home for dinner?"
He answered, "Not eating, don't wait up for me."
"Alright, don't come home too late then." His mother instructed.
