Capítulo 42: Can I stay here tonight?

"Are you still at Ms. Chen's place?" Lu Fang's voice came through clearly as Xu Jingli answered the phone.

Xu Jingli nodded silently, even though Lu Fang couldn't see him. Lu Fang was already accustomed to his minimal responses, so he continued without needing further confirmation. "There's been news of an accident on the highway due to the rain. All roads leading to the west end are closed. It'll be hard for you to get home right now. What will you do?"

Xu Jingli processed the information, his mind turning over the possibilities. "There's been an accident?" he asked, his voice calm despite the situation.

Chen Mumu, who had been sitting nearby, immediately looked up, her face creasing with concern. "There's been an accident?" she whispered, her voice soft with worry.
