In the evening, Lin Deng left the military school and returned to the large courtyard. The lights of the Gu's house were off, indicating that nobody was home. Lin Deng then decided to visit the Lan's household, thinking that if there was no one in the Gu's house, then perhaps Gu En had gone to the Lan's. However, only Lan Li was at home, there was no sight of Gu En.
"Looking for Gu En?" Lan Li was sitting in the living room. As soon as Lin Deng walked in and started glancing around, Lan Li knew that Lin Deng was looking for someone. "I haven't seen her for a long time. Isn't she at home?" Specifically, ever since he hit Gu En, she has never seen him again.
Lan Li was thinking that he would have to return to the unit in a couple of days and he had planned to find a time during the weekend to find Gu En at her home. However, he didn't expect Lin Deng to come to his house looking for her first.
