At home.
His parents were asleep.
Zhang Ye did not dare make too much noise. He quietly went to wash up before going back to his room to change into his pajamas. He was totally comfortable now.
Ring, ring, ring.
His cellphone rang.
The caller ID showed that it was from his third cousin, Cao Mengmeng.
Zhang Ye picked up with a smile, “Hello, what’s the matter?”
Cao Mengmeng said angrily, “Brother, why didn’t you pick up the phone an hour ago?”
“An hour ago? Hai, it was because I had a meeting with the Vice President from school. My phone was switched to silent and I didn’t notice.” Zhang Ye usually switched his cellphone to silent before a meeting or whenever he was meeting a leader, if he remembered, because it would be inconvenient to pick up the phone and also to show respect to his leaders, “Why were you looking for me?”
“Hmmph.” Cao Mengmeng was less angry now, “Tomorrow, my school will be attending the New Year Gala at Peking University. Come over and fetch me.”
