Wang Dahai watched her flee in panic, climbing onto the bed with great satisfaction.
He lay in bed, savoring the intimate encounter with Han Lan from earlier that evening, unable to help but anticipate.
Yet he waited and waited.
As time ticked by, minute by minute—nine o'clock, ten o'clock…
Before he knew it, it was already past midnight, and Han Lan had not come over.
Wang Dahai couldn't help feeling anxious.
He couldn't help but wonder if Han Lan was mad and decided not to come.
But thinking such thoughts was futile.
This was Han Lan's home, and Chu Qing was still here; it wasn't appropriate for him to just go over there.
He had no choice but to sleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by Chu Qing's noise.
Chu Qing had to go to school and got up very early, out of bed by six.
Wang Dahai was still groggy.
Not until he heard Chu Qing say, "I'm going to school now," followed by the sound of the door closing.
