44 Going to Macau

"Hey, Zhou Chao, are you still not up? Have you received your Hong Kong-Macau travel permit? The afternoon flight is coming up. Hurry and get up," a voice came through the phone, rousing Zhou Chao from his groggy state. "I'm up," Zhou Chao replied, glancing at the clock – it was almost noon. He promptly rolled out of bed.

After a quick bite with Lin Wu, they headed out. By the time they reached the airport, it was past 1 pm. Qin Fen and the others were already waiting.

"You both have your permits, right?" Qin Fen asked.

"Yep, got them. Just processed them yesterday," Zhou Chao yawned, having stayed up late playing games until around 3 am. He still felt like he could use more sleep.

"Let's go, boarding is about to start," Qin Fen checked the time and turned to the group.

The group of six walked towards the boarding gate.
