"Miss Bai," Xiaojie politely began.
The two were not familiar with each other, and just as Bai Lian's phone on the table started ringing, she nodded briefly at them before answering the call.
It was Jian Zhongyou on the phone.
She held the phone to her ear, poured herself a cup of tea, and slowly walked to the balcony. "Looking for me?"
"Am I the last to know you've arrived in Jiangjing?" From the other end of the phone, he could still hear the zither version of "Han Shixu" playing. "I found out from Xiaopu's social media feed."
Jian, the director, knew Bai Lian because of the "One Eater, One Big Bowl" account.
He was still mutually following "One Eater, One Big Bowl," and the two had long since added each other on WeChat.
Bai Lian lowered her head and took a sip of tea. "Nope."
Director Ma didn't know yet.
There was a pause from the director, and then he responded in a manner that seemed more sensible, "Did you look at the musical score I sent you?"
