He checked his social media and saw that Xino seemed to be hanging out there.
So he gave Xino a call.
Inside the tavern, Xino was on stage singing, one arm in a sling.
Even an injury couldn't stop her from singing her heart out.
The crowd below was mostly made up of familiar faces.
When the song ended, everyone couldn't help but laugh and tease her. "Nuomi, you're all banged up and still singing for your supper! How much is your brother paying you?"
"None of your business."
Xino laughed. "I'm happy, so I'll sing if I want to. You're lucky you even get to hear me!"
"That's true, that's true. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even come to your brother's place for drinks."
Just as she was bantering with the crowd, her phone rang.
She pulled it out with one hand, saw it was Xu Yun, and immediately ran off the stage to answer.
"Hey, Xu Yun."
Xino laughed. "Calling me so late. Did you miss me?"
"I did. Missed you so much I couldn't sleep."
