After watching them leave, Qin Zhigu also stepped into the rain. Just as he got into his car, but before he started it, his phone rang. Looking at the screen, he saw the name, "Cai Yiren". He immediately put his phone back down.
The phone continued to vibrate. He tossed it onto the passenger seat and turned the steering wheel to drive away.

The rain, although intermittent, continued until ten in the evening, accompanied by the faint sound of thunder.
Having finished her work, Lu Weixi closed the window against the whirling wind outside. She pressed against her slightly throbbing temples, and turned on her phone, where a message from her mother awaited her.
Her mother had been moved from the intensive care unit to a regular ward, and was now allowed to use her phone. If Wei Hui couldn't visit her in the hospital, she was required to video chat with her mother regularly.
