Sheng Shi held his cellphone, the traffic light ahead had changed from red to green, but he hadn't moved forward. Cars behind honked their horns in waves of piercing sounds, yet Sheng Shi sat silently in the driver's seat, not speaking, his expression so neutral that it was unclear whether he was listening to the call or not.
Han Chengchi remained silent for quite a while. Not hearing Sheng Shi's voice, he spoke again, his tone unusually calm, "I was supposed to explain everything to that room full of people on Gu Lanshan's behalf, but when I saw Gu Enen run out, I rushed after her. So I'm sorry I couldn't clear Gu Lanshan's name right away. There were several times I felt like I couldn't go on, but I always felt there was something left undone and just woke up drifting in and out, thinking for the better part of a day until I finally thought of this and decided to call you."
After a pause, Han Chengchi added, "Shi'er, I'm really sorry. Please say sorry to Gu Lanshan for me."
