The last ray of light faded from the coastline. A lamp lit up at the bow of the ship, illuminating the sparkling surface of the sea. Yu Zhizhi, feeling the salty, damp sea breeze, looked down at the communicator in her hand.
Her fingertip tapped lightly, typing out two letters.
After a pause, she slowly deleted them.
'...The Duke should know.'
She had lived in the Duke Mansion for a long time. They handled many things for her.
'But would it be too abrupt to call now? The Duke should already know about my disappearance.'
'If he asks about it on the call, what should I say?'
Yu Zhizhi deleted what she had started. Under the man's unabashed stare, she steeled herself and dialed the number for Noel of the Rabbit Clan.
Their first contact was when Tang Luo Ke was unconscious.
Noel had taught her how to counteract the spider toxin.
This time, Noel didn't ask for a video call. The call connected, but he was silent for a long moment.
