The next morning.
Gao Yuan didn't wake up until after ten o'clock.
He groggily opened his eyes and grabbed his phone from the nightstand. Just as he expected, there were dozens of unread messages on WeChat.
Most of the messages were from their little three-person group chat.
Lin Wanyu said it was her birthday today, and her parents had insisted she come home for lunch, so she had already left.
She also mentioned that Gao Yuan hadn't driven, as his car was still in the underground garage.
Gao Yuan glanced at it and decided not to explain. He had already told one lie, and he didn't know how many more he'd have to make up to cover for it.
Next, he saw a message from Tongtong wishing him a Merry Christmas. She had even sent a picture of herself wearing the "QQ skin" he'd given her last time.
This time, Gao Yuan replied to Tongtong, saying he had been too busy yesterday and had forgotten to give her the Christmas present he'd prepared.
