A crisp slap echoed loudly in the darkness.
It drowned out Ying Jing's footsteps.
The dogs in the kennels along the street were frightened and barked twice.
Ying Jing made a quick getaway.
Back at the dining place, she sat down calmly and couldn't resist grabbing two more steamed ribs while everyone was still eating and drinking.
Everyone was engrossed in chatting and eating, and no one noticed Ying Jing had left earlier.
As she gnawed on the ribs, she scanned the room and didn't see Xiao Qinghe and Song Zai.
In her mind, she didn't really know who Song Zai was. To be associated with Xiao Qinghe and question with such a tone, an ordinary male friend wouldn't do that.
Could it be that Song Zai liked Xiao Qinghe?
Ying Jing held a rib she had already gnawed clean for a long time, her thoughts drifting somewhere else.
The bone had started to turn white, and Lv Yi kindly reminded her.
"If you like it, there are more on the table."
