We’ll have to come early tomorrow again, running back and forth, and it’s not just troublesome, it also delays things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the two could say anything, Jiang Ran continued, \"Here’s the plan: you two go home, you don’t need to come too early tomorrow, just wake up at four-thirty and head here.
