The intense summer sun was slightly scorching, and Shen Shuci was woken by the driver's shout.
"...10-minute break, if you need to use the restroom, hurry up," the bus driver said, and people began to get off one after another. Shen Shuci hazily looked out the window; the bus had stopped at a service area on the highway, where a few men were standing together smoking in the distance.
She raised her hand to pull down the window curtain before taking out her phone.
An hour and a half ago, Huo Qinqi had sent her a message: [I'm going to training, be safe on the road.]
He was always succinct; the rest of the messages and calls were from Tang Wan. She immediately called her back.
"Wanwan?" Just waking up, her voice was slightly hoarse.
"Did you fall asleep?" Tang Wan was currently at home, sketching designs for a Cyan Feather screen. She was at her wit's end with Jiang Chengsi lately; how had she never noticed his fussiness before?
"Yeah."
