By the time he arrived, it was already night.
It was the night of Lantern Festival, with the moonlight bright and clear.
By then, Lu Weixi and her mother had already moved back to their old house. The houses in the old city area were known to be low-rise, the community security guards were more of a formality, and Lu Weixi lived on the first floor. Qin Zhisu began searching and quickly found Lu Weixi's home.
He was vigilant enough not to knock on the door immediately, instead, he went around to the base of the wall and peered into the window.
The room was dimly lit with just one table lamp, and the curtains were drawn. Qin Zhisu was just outside the balcony. From his vantage point, he could look straight into the living room. He saw Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou sitting side by side on the sofa, with the master bedroom door closed. Qin Zhiyou was sitting closest to the balcony, and Lu Weixi was on the inside, so her face was not visible.
