Looking at the slip in her hand, Gu Zixuan had no answers.
She sat back in her original seat in a daze.
She didn't make any more calls, just hoping the phone would remain silent, waiting for his call to come through.
But as time moved from 2:36 to 3:22, then to 4:15, and finally when their number was already called, Gu Zixuan still hadn't seen Feng Chengjin return.
Eventually, the civil affairs bureau closed, and the staff came to usher her out.
"Miss, Miss? Are you still registering? Where's your husband? Is he coming? We're closing."
Only then did Gu Zixuan look up and realize that the clock was already pointing to 5:30...
In an environment where Feng Chengjin never appeared, Gu Zixuan clenched the number slip in her palm, gave the staff an awkward smile, "Oh, no registration today, my husband had something come up."
Then as the staff locked the door, her steps wavered slightly, and a staff member gave her a hand, "Miss, are you alright?"
