Shu Pan saw that Ye Xiaomeng didn't want to say more and didn't push her. After all, everyone had their secrets.
"That's good." Shu Pan picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
To avoid dwelling on the matter, Ye Xiaomeng changed the subject, "Girl, when are you going to bring Joy home?"
"When school starts." Shu Pan felt that it wasn't wise to bring Joy home now since she was so busy though she missed her very much.
Ye Xiaomeng nodded. After dinner, Shu Pan called for the bill.
Ye Xiaomeng was one step ahead of her and handed her money to the waiter. She knew her friend's financial situation.

Shu Pan carried the paper bag back to Shuimu Qinghua. When she opened the door, the house was quiet. She looked at the dining table and saw that the food was still there, untouched.
Shu Pan figured that Gu Shaoting hadn't come home yet.
