She stood up slamming her hands in the table and look at outside through window.
There is only one thing that she wanted to do.
She took her coat and bag and then ran downstairs.
Aunt Chunmi was about to go to Ai Fei's room to called her for breakfast but she saw Ai Fei came out from the her room in a hurry. Aunt Chunmi smiled, "young miss…" she wasn't able to finish seeing Ai Fei ran towards the door as if she didn't saw her.
Ai Fei went to the bus station and bought a bus ticket to Zhu Province. Zhu Province is three hours bus drive from B city and only 20 minutes by train.
Her mind was in chaos and the bus station was located near the house.
Maybe she was tired from thinking and crying all night that the moment she sits in her designated bus seat she fell asleep.

"Miss…"
Ai Fei felt someone was gently tapping her shoulder that woke her up.
She opens her eyes and looked around. She noticed she was the only one in the bus.
"Are we already in Zhu?"
"Yes" the driver answered.
"Oh" she stood up, "Thank you" she slightly bows to the driver and went out.
She looked around feeling nostalgic.
She could still remember this place.
Zhu Province almost covered with bamboo forest and also the main distributor both local and international.
Her grandfather lives in the foot of Panpan Mountain.
After walking for almost thirty minutes she arrived at their gate.
The gate was worn out and almost covered with plants.
The gate was small reaching her shoulder so she could easily see the house. It looks like it was abandon for how many years.
She noticed a passerby, "Excuse me?"
An old woman who looks like having a morning walk, stop and looked at her, "Yes?"
"Um… where's the one who's living here" pointing at the abandon house.
The old woman looked at the abandon house then back to her. "Mr. Han has been long dead."
Ai Fei bite her cheeks inside her mouth trying to calm her nerves.
"His daughter died first before him and no one knows where his grandchildren are."
"Grandchildren?"
"yes" the old woman nodded, "I remember it was a twins." The old woman smiled, "anyway, this place has been abandon for 10 years or 15… that I don't remember"
"Thank you" Ai Fei bows and smiled at the old woman.
The old woman bows also and then continues her morning walk.
She carefully opens the gate and went inside.
She gripped her hand tightly trying to control her shaking hand as her emotions overwhelm her.
