Chapter 317: Am I Special to You
Shen Zhichu returned home. Before she even got close, she saw someone squatting at the door.
Bai Qiujing was sitting by the door, tightly gripping his phone. He alternated between glancing at his phone and looking in the direction Shen Zhichu had left from. His eager expression was reminiscent of a large dog waiting for its owner to return.
