By the time everyone finished their stroll around Data Square and returned to the bus station, it was already 1:23 AM. Although they had left around 10 PM, the newly renovated Data Square had greatly expanded areas with the use of underground spaces, making it take a considerable amount of time for visitors to explore it completely.
Combined with the fact that the three people walked and stopped leisurely, they ended up staying for a few hours.
At this hour, the night was deep. Although there were still some customers celebrating the holiday in the underground shopping district, it couldn't cover up the late-night emptiness.
The bus stop, crowded during the day, was now deserted except for Feng Yuan and his friends.
Even though the additional all-night buses were still running after the normal last bus, the intervals were adjusted to be quite long, with a bus to their area only every half hour.
"Um, Qi Chen, you take her home. I plan to return to school; it's too late now."
