Can You Send Me Home?

Su Lin couldn't stand watching them anymore and the look on her face hardened as she slammed down her chopsticks.

She bent down her head, pulled out her cell phone, and pretended to take a call.

Then she smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry. Something came up at home. I have to head back."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her surprised and said, "So early? We just started eating. Why don't you finish the meal before you go?"

"No thanks." Su Lin shook her head and said apologetically, "I really have to go back now. Next time then. It'll be my treat next time."

If she continued to eat, she might just get indigestion.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't make her stay, so she waved goodbye.

Su Lin carried her bag as she walked out, her eyes glancing at Yin Shaojie.

When she went to the door, she stopped, looked back at Yin Shaojie, and said to him with a slightly plaintive manner, "Shaojie, can you take me home?"
