The room was submerged in a curious silence.

It had not been Qin Yinan's intention to return to the city that day. However, he had received Tang Nuan's call that afternoon, saying she wished to have dinner with him and that she had something important to tell him in person.
The inspection around the construction was at a slow period. If not for the long commute, he would have chosen to just stay in the city.
After receiving Tang Nuan's phone call, Qin Yinan thought about it and eventually decided to meet her.
The village he stayed at didn't have a water supply, so he hadn't taken a bath in a few days. Qin Yinan planned to return home first to get into a fresh change of clothes before meeting Tang Nuan. However, the roads into the city were clogged due to weekend traffic. When he finally got into the city, it was already almost 7 pm.
