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.
