There were a total of seven elevators leading to the lounge on the second floor.
Qin Zhi 'ai had taken elevator number one, while Liang Doukou had taken elevator number five.
The north door of the banquet hall wasn't far from the elevators. Gu Yusheng had good eyesight, so when he was about 30 feet away from the elevators, someone stopped him and greeted him. Out of courtesy, he deliberately glanced at the red numbers on the elevators before greeting them. He clearly saw that the elevators Qin Zhi 'ai and Liang Doukou had taken had both stopped on the second floor.
Gu Yusheng calmly withdrew his gaze and casually said a few words to the person who had greeted him. Then he excused himself, quickly walked to the elevator, and pressed the "on" button.
Soon, an elevator door opened. Gu Yusheng stepped in and pressed the button for the second floor.
Coming out of the elevator, Gu Yusheng happened to see a figure disappearing at the end of the corridor on the right.
Without hesitation, Gu Yusheng quickly followed her and stopped at the corner. He poked his head out and saw Qin Zhi 'ai swipe the room card to open the door of the lounge and walk in.
When he heard the sound of the door closing, Gu Yusheng turned his head and looked around several times, but he didn't see Liang Doukou.
Gu Yusheng's delicate eyebrows slowly furrowed. The next second, he returned to the elevator. Qin Zhi 'ai and Liang Doukou had taken elevator number one and elevator number five, but no one had taken them, and they were still on the second floor.
Liang Doukou had indeed arrived on the second floor.
And from the elevator to the corner on the right, there were no doors on either side of the corridor. Qin Zhi 'ai had taken the elevator before her, and he had followed her.
Coming out of the elevator, Liang Doukou would only be behind Qin Zhi 'ai for a short time. Logically speaking, if he could see Qin Zhi' ai, he should have seen Liang Doukou as well.
So … where is Liang Doukou?
…
At noon, Qin Zhi 'ai and Xu Wennuan ate a lot of raw and cold food at a Japanese restaurant near the neighborhood. When she had been with Gu Yusheng, she had drunk a lot of iced wine, so her stomach was a little uncomfortable.
He had probably noticed her touching her lower abdomen from time to time. Because he knew that her birth date happened to be in the next two days, he had mistakenly thought that she was suffering from period cramps, so he had asked Xiaowang to send her the room card to his lounge.
In fact, Qin Zhi 'ai wasn't suffering from menstrual cramps, but from eating too much raw and cold food.
She was too embarrassed to tell Gu Yusheng that, so when he asked her if she was suffering from menstrual cramps, she nodded without thinking.
After getting the room card, she didn't rush upstairs to rest. Instead, she sat next to Xu Wennuan and drank some hot soup to soothe her stomach before she went to Gu Yusheng's lounge.
Closing the door, she clutched her stomach and walked into the bathroom.
Squatting on the toilet, she searched for her phone in her bag to play for a while out of boredom. That was when she saw the reply letter from Mr. S when she passed by A High last week.
She had been so busy these past few days that she had almost forgotten about this matter …
Qin Zhi 'ai picked up the envelope, opened it, and took out the letter. She unfolded it and began to read.
…
Last year, after she and Liang Doukou had exchanged their identities, she had gone straight to Hangzhou. Hence, she had not contacted Mr. S for two to three months.
It was in March this year that she received Mr. S's reply when she was sent by the school to A High School as a volunteer invigilator.
The letter she had received at the time was written to her last year, before she and Liang Doukou had switched back.
