「The next day.」
The couple had not forgotten about the matter.
After waking up, Si Bao changed into a tracksuit, ready for his morning run. Before he could step out the door, Lin Feng stopped him. Lin Feng approached Si Bao, extended his right hand, and said, "Si Bao, let me borrow your phone for a moment."
Si Bao just said, "Oh," without a second thought and pulled the phone from his pocket.
As he handed it over, he casually asked, "What for?"
Lin Feng said nonchalantly, "My phone's having issues. I need to use yours to make a call."
Pointing at the landline, Si Bao asked, "Don't we have a landline at home?"
Without even looking up, Lin Feng replied, "That's broken, too."
With another "Oh," Si Bao turned and left for his run. No one would be calling me at this hour anyway, he thought. Besides, running with a phone is a pain. It's better to leave it at home.
