Lin Xiangwan returned to the inn and asked the landlady if the person in the neighboring room had returned.
The landlady was quite enthusiastic today and affi rmed that he had.
Lin Xiangwan wrapped the paper bag of grilled chicken in a plastic bag to prevent any mouse from approaching, tightly tied it and hung it on the door handle.
'Knock knock knock...'
Just like last night, she knocked on the door three times.
There was some noise in the room previously, but upon knocking, everything went quiet.
Lin Xiangwan waited a moment and considering the occupant hadn't emerged, she figured they might be shy or wanted their privacy and decided to respect that.
Then she knocked again and returned to her room.
As the sound of her closing the door echoed, the door in the neighboring room opened, and a tall figure looked outside.
This figure was quite tall, so he had to lower his head to avoid hitting it upon exiting.
He glanced at the note on the door.
