Gu Nian waited for a long time before Cuihua hurried back.
As soon as she saw her figure, Gu Nian couldn't wait to go up and ask, "How did it go?"
"Third Uncle went to the alley on the back street, then entered a little courtyard. I waited for a while but didn't see him come out, so I came back," Cuihua said.
"Did he notice you?" Gu Nian asked her.
Cuihua shook her head, and only then did Gu Nian feel at ease.
"Let's go, let's go take a look." Gu Nian pulled Cuihua to lead the way. This back and forth fussing, according to Cuihua's logic, she couldn't make sense of it, but Gu Nian asked her to go, and she could only comply.
In the alley on the back street, Gu Nian followed Cuihua to the door of the courtyard where Lin Sanshui was, waited for a long time, but didn't see anyone come out.
Gu Nian wondered if he might have already left while Cuihua was away.
