"You'd better come up with something original, or I'll go down the phone line and wreak havoc on your home as punishment for disturbing my peaceful sleep!"

Did they treat her like a scam call?

Xia Wan paused for a moment, and only spoke when she confirmed that the other person's voice was that of the cleaning lady from last night.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I'm Xia Wan. You helped me in the movie theater restroom yesterday, and I came here specifically to express my gratitude."

The other party paused for several seconds.

Xia Wan then heard a rustling sound.

Then the sleepy voice suddenly became alert, "How did you get my phone number?"

Xia Wan's lips twitched slightly, embarrassed to admit that she had asked someone to investigate.

"You went to the police station to give a statement yesterday, right? I asked the police for questions."

The other person responded with an "oh," and then said lazily, "It's nothing. I'm just a loyal person by nature. I couldn't possibly watch you get bullied in that situation. Don't take it to heart."

"How could I not take it to heart? This is a life-saving favor!" Xia Wan doesn't like owing favors. "This is my phone number. Save it. If you need anything in the future, you can call me. If possible, I'd like to treat you to a meal sometime to express my gratitude."

"I'm so sorry," came a girl's cheerful laughter from across the table. "Can I make the reservation at the restaurant?"

"sure."

"Okay, I'll make a plan and call you when I've booked it."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wan belatedly realized that the girl's way of speaking was very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

But she couldn't remember even when she had a headache.

However, the gloomy, rainy weather outside gradually brought her back to sleep.

She crawled back into bed, listened to the pattering rain outside, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
