From morning to noon, Su Mu stood motionless like a statue. She didn't eat, drink, or use the bathroom. She seemed to have no such needs. Her eagerness to see Qiqi had consumed her to the point where nothing else mattered—only waiting.
But Qin Nianwan never appeared.
Su Mu told herself it was impossible to not feel anxious. After all, she had been standing here for an entire morning. At first, she firmly believed that Qin Nianwan would show up, but now—though she didn't want to admit it—that belief was starting to crack.
Maybe Qin Nianwan genuinely wouldn't come.
As soon as this thought entered her mind, Su Mu waved it away. Impossible.
She would appear. It was only noon now; there was still an entire afternoon and evening ahead. She would appear. She had to appear. Today, Su Mu was certain she could see Qiqi and bring her home.
Smiling faintly at the thought, Su Mu continued standing there, watching the passing crowds without the slightest trace of impatience.
