Comrade Xiao Shen also rode a bike, leading them on a journey of more than ten minutes to the second community at Academy Street along the Second Ring Road, which is right at the boundary of the First Ring Road; therefore, it is very close to the Second Ring Road. To be exact, it is separated from Xue Jianian's place by just one row of houses. Exiting this alley and heading east, after passing another alley, one would find themselves at Xue Jianian's alley.
There are not many homes in Xiao Shen's row; among them are two two-story small buildings, with her home located in the middle, flanked by large gaps on both sides.
Outside, there are four houses, all neatly arranged five-room tile-roofed houses.
Across the alley, three of the homes on the inside are multi-story buildings, while the four on the outside are tile-roofed houses as well.
Lu Jingqiu remembered that this area used to be inhabited by many wealthy merchants or literati.
