Chen Xu and Liu Xiaoshang lived in the same direction, so he dropped him off first before heading to his own place.
He got home early, before ten o'clock.
He took a shower, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and sat in the chaise lounge by the window, feeling completely sober. During the hotpot meal with Liu Xiaoshang, he had been in a particularly relaxed mood and drank quite a bit.
Ding-dong—
After sitting for a while, his phone suddenly rang with a video call from Bai Jinxuan.
He answered, and her face appeared on the screen. She wasn't wearing makeup, prompting him to ask, "Don't you have work today?"
"My first concert is next week. I've asked Aunt Shao to clear my schedule so I can focus on preparing," Bai Jinxuan's voice was a bit hoarse, and she took a sip of water. "I'm practicing right now."
She panned the camera around the room, which seemed to be a rehearsal studio, brightly lit and crowded with people, including her assistant and some dancers.
