As night fell, Lin Laoyao decided to find a guesthouse in town to spend the night. His plan was to head directly to the city's grand courtyard the next day to find Lin Miao.
His son was at the police station, and Lin Laoyao knew he wouldn't be able to sleep well even if he returned home. So, he decided not to go back.
Over at the Su family residence, Su Shen had just returned from dropping off Lin Cheng and the others back at Little Lin Village. Gu Zi was waiting for him at the entrance, ready to accompany him upstairs.
"Why are you standing out here in the cold wind?" Su Shen asked, removing his coat and draping it over Gu Zi.
Gu Zi took his wrist and leaned her face slightly into his chest, saying, "Lele is asleep. I was waiting for you, so I came down to see if you'd come home."
After they went upstairs, Gu Zi waited for him in bed. After he had taken a shower, they shared a long kiss before falling asleep in each other's arms.
