The next day.
Lu Chengzhou returned to the bedroom from the gym, but Gu Mang was still asleep.
Gu Mang's cell phone, which was on the bedside table, rang suddenly. She frowned and opened her eyes.
Lu Chengzhou glanced at the caller ID and said softly, "It's a call from Grandma. Go to sleep, I'll answer it."
He stroked her face softly. His palm was warm and comfortable. Gu Mang fell asleep again.
Lu Chengzhou took the cell phone and walked to the balcony. He passed by the coffee table and picked up his cigarette box along the way. He knocked out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth.
He accepted the call and he heard his grandmother's voice. "Ms. Gu, come early in the afternoon. Grandma's waiting for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the crisp metal sound of the lighter igniting.
The old lady was silent for two seconds. "Where is Ms. Gu? Why are you the one answering the phone?"
She sounded disappointed.
