The flight is at nine tonight. After arriving in Yanjing, we'll rest for the night and head straight to the Chinese Academy of Sciences tomorrow morning," Tong Zhen said.

"If you're not free tonight, tomorrow morning works just as well. We can always cancel the tickets; I just like to be prepared for a rainy day!" Tong Zhen laughed without a hint of embarrassment.
