QinYu took a load off his mind. As it turned out that it's a mistake, merely a false alarm. He seized the opportunity and asked the girl's name, chatted for a while.

QinYu was thinking to add her on Wechat, but the girl said that she broke her phone last week, so she doesn't have a phone. Therefore, they decided to meet in front of the theatre half an hour before the play starts the next day.
