After Li Siyao stopped responding, Ding Yuanyuan deleted her number from her phone after dinner.
Not only did she delete her contact from the phonebook, but she also deleted her QQ account.
Then she put her phone on silent and set it aside, starting to study with undivided attention.
At nine o'clock, her grandmother brought her a plate of fruit and said affectionately, "You've been studying for two hours straight, go watch TV for a bit and rest your mind."
After saying that, she added, "An Ying called you just now, saying she couldn't get through to your phone, is it broken? If it's broken, grandma will give you money to buy a new one."
The old lady might have been advanced in years, but she used to be the chief engineer at a famous machinery plant in Quanshan City, and her pension was not small. But for the old lady, none of these mattered as much as the pride she took in having a granddaughter who was admitted to Beijing University.
