Second Treasure and Third Treasure shared the same room.
When Second Treasure returned late after a long evening out with Qin Jiang, she was shocked to find that Third Treasure wasn't there.
Frightened, she immediately called Third Treasure. The call finally connected after the third try.
"Third Sister, where are you? Why aren't you back yet? It's so late."
Third Treasure's voice betrayed nothing unusual, but her words startled Second Treasure.
"Second Sister, I'm not coming home tonight. I'm with Shao Yang."
Second Treasure's heart tightened. "Are you serious? Have you thought this through?"
In the eyes of their older siblings, Third Treasure was the obedient, sensible little sister who needed their protection.
"I've thought it through," Third Treasure murmured, her tone carrying a barely perceptible shyness.
Second Treasure paused for a moment. "Then take good care of yourself."
"I will," Third Treasure murmured back. "I'll hang up now, Second Sister."
