After finishing her computer class in the afternoon, Nan Yan sent a message to Qin Lu:
[Big brother, there's a class gathering tonight, and my classmate will give me a ride, so you don't have to pick me up.]
Qin Lu's reply came quickly: [What time will it end?]
Nan Yan frowned. She had no idea what time it would end, and she didn't want him to know that she was going to meet someone.
[It shouldn't be too late. We'll just leave after dinner.]
Qin Lu responded, [Let me know when it's over. If it's late, don't let others send you home. I'll come and pick you up, little sister.]
Nan Yan agreed with a simple [Okay.] She sent the message with calm assurance and put her phone away without any psychological pressure.
The last class of the day was a class meeting. The class teacher stood at the front of the classroom and, after covering the topics of the meeting, gave the final announcement, "We will have monthly exams on Thursday and Friday, so please prepare in advance."
