"He still hasn't come?" Wang Xiao suddenly asked, breaking the silence.
"No...." Fu Yuxin whispered, a tinge of difficulty in her voice. She was now convinced that she had indeed been deceived.
Her excitement began to sour, and disappointment settled in.
"What time did you agree to meet?" Wang Xiao's eyes scanned the surroundings.
"It was set for 11:00 am," Fu Yuxin replied, her tone resigned. With the situation as it was, she welcomed the conversation with Wang Xiao, which helped ease her anxiety.
Though she stood two inches taller than him in her current ensemble, the crowd in the park began to notice them. Their difference in height didn't go unseen, but after a cursory glance, they lost interest and moved on.
"Have you tried calling him?" Wang Xiao inquired.
"I-I did," Fu Yuxin admitted, her voice tinged with frustration.
She had attempted to reach Chuan Hao only moments ago, but her calls had gone unanswered.
