秦宇终于松了一口气，原来是个乌龙，只是虚惊一场罢了。他趁机问了女孩儿的名字，聊了几句，原来女孩儿喜欢看话剧，同时也是个古董控，一个月前去了上海玩，在上海看了几场话剧，还去逛了一些跳蚤市场。秦宇原本想加她微信，但女孩儿说手机上周摔坏了，暂时没有手机可以用。于是他们直接约了隔天表演开场前的半小时在剧院门口碰面。

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. In fact, the girl likes to watch stage drama, and she's a big fan of antique as well. Last month, she went to visit Shanghai, watched some play there, and visited some flea market. 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.
