Nan Jiaojiao got home almost at midnight.
Before going upstairs, she had a bowl of crab roe noodles outside the community and ended up with a mouthful, so when she got back, she was looking for water to drink and then collapsed on the couch, too lazy to move.
When Bo Yanching called her, just a glance at his name instantly revitalized her spirit. She sat up abruptly as if suddenly reanimated, grabbing her phone and heading into the bathroom. As she walked, she stripped off her clothes, turned on the tap, and before it was even halfway filled, she had already sat down in it.
"Hello?"
"Why did it take so long to answer, were you asleep?"
Nan Jiaojiao wiped the water from her palm and said softly, "No, I just had a late-night snack."
"This late?" Bo Yanching paused, glanced at his watch. "Did the professor keep you again?"
"Ah..." Nan Jiaojiao stared at the ceiling. "I was just busy until late and forgot to return your message."
