When Gu Mian reappeared in the living room, his face still wore that gratified smile.
As soon as he returned, he saw Fatty crouched on the sofa checking the game announcements, mumbling something like, "Why hasn't there been an announcement yet?" and "When will the Doctor come out?"
By this time, the sun was already slanting westward, and the uncollected clay pot and bowls still sat on the coffee table in the living room.
Gu Mian gave them a cursory glance and found that the clay pot contained chicken stewed with mushrooms, which was exactly what Fatty and the others had for lunch.
The first one to notice Gu Mian's return was Xiao Hong.
She was sitting on the windowsill, sipping lychee soda with relish. Upon seeing Gu Mian return, she immediately disregarded the soda in her hand, casually tossed the half-empty can out the window with a flick of her wrist, and scrambled over to him.
