The grandfather and grandson continued to play chess while chatting about the global situation until late at night.
As for Ye Qiao, after she settled down, she had been revising Beixiao's notes until midnight.
Suddenly, her phone rang while she was studying. She thought it was Lu Xiaogun asking her to go to bed, but she heard a familiar voice from the phone as she answered the call. "Xiao…"
"Little girl, why aren't you asleep yet? I saw that your lights are still on!" Beixiao sounded like he was scolding her.
Ye Qiao quickly ran to the window and looked out. She lived in the western-most bedroom on the second floor, so Xiao's yard could be clearly seen from her window. Xiao happened to stay in the eastern-most room, so he could see Ye Qiao's room from his place.
Nevertheless, he was not at his window.
