Evening.
Qiao Jing had timed it perfectly; she planned to celebrate Ni Yue's birthday right at midnight. She also decided to schedule the hike for afterwards, so that they could watch the sunrise on Ni Yue's birthday.
Upon arriving at the designated park, she found Yu Yangqi already there, directing others as they set up various things.
Qiao Jing took a quick look around to confirm that they had only invited Xu Moqian, Zhan Nanqing, Lin Xiuxiang, and two family members who had tagged along.
These were Zhan Qipei, who was still parking the car, and Tang Yan, who was inseparably by Lin Xiuxiang's side.
When everyone saw Qiao Jing's arrival, smiles spread across their faces.
Xu Moqian was the first to approach Qiao Jing, and just as he was about to speak, Zhan Nanqing pushed him aside.
"Qiao Jing, you're here! Did Ni Yue say when she would arrive?"
Qiao Jing checked the current time and answered,
"She will be here in a moment."
