Success?

"Any news?" Anya asked while taking Xin Qiye From Xu Qing who was, as usual, playing with her hair. (Authors note)

Xu Qing who was making funny faces at Xin Qiye suddenly faltered and her expression turned rather concerned.

"Nothing yet. It says he is out of reach. No one else has been able to get in contact with him either," she replied with a shake of her head. Her current dispirited visage was quite unlike her, which made Anya break out into a knowing smile.

She sat down beside her while cradling Xin Qiye who was trying to break free from her embrace.

"So you can look sad huh? Who knew!"

Xu Qing quickly realized what she meant and she lowered her head even more.

"I've known you for a year and this is I think the first time I've seen you so worried. It reminds me of when he and I had just started dating," she said referring to First.

"I would often sit by the door with that same face, waiting for him every few days."
