The answers from Baidu appeared before Gu Siyu's eyes. She was very surprised and unwilling to believe, so she pressed her fingertips on the screen and scrolled down, continuously seeing several identical answers.

The light of the electronic password lock next to her dimmed because she didn't enter the correct password. She didn't need to press it again. Gu Siyu squeezed the iron railing and shook it, making it clang loudly.

The lights in the courtyard were on all the time. She heard Teddy's barking, but didn't see anyone coming.

It was obvious that Huo Junxian was at home but didn't want to open the door for her.

"I hope she didn't block my number." Gu Siyu shook the iron gate with one hand and dialed her phone again with the other.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed is currently in use. Please try again later..."

The electronic voice tirelessly repeated the message from Chinese to English. Gu Siyu became annoyed and hung up. She went to press the doorbell, and the sound kept ringing, which was annoying even for her.

"Huo Junxian!" Gu Siyu shouted twice, quite loudly. This time, there was a sound from the courtyard. Huo Junxian was calling "Xiao Yu" for Teddy. She heard it. Teddy's head appeared at the door for a while and was then called back inside by a "come back" command.

Okay.

She understood. It was intentional.

Gu Siyu hugged her arms and looked at the shadow projected by the big iron gate. She kicked it once, feeling dissatisfied, and then kicked it several more times. The villa had a burglar alarm installed, and after a few kicks, the whole yard was ringing with the alarm.

She was a strange person, unable to tolerate grievances. She was like one of those disobedient little gangsters. Maybe she couldn't beat you at first, but she would remember and curse at you every time she saw you. When she got angry, she would even pick up stones and throw them at the glass.

Gu Siyu also thought about throwing stones into the courtyard, but reality was too harsh. Huo Junxian's house had a large yard, and it was too difficult for her to throw stones at the glass unless she was a professional javelin athlete, not a race car driver.

If she's blocked, then she's blocked.

Gu Siyu stood at the door for half an hour, then got on her motorcycle and drove away.

The car drove on the road for half an hour, and soon the sky was completely dark.

The neon lights of the tall buildings were all on, and the streets were bustling with the voices of vendors and pedestrians, blending into a commercial drama from a silent play that no one was watching. She parked her car under a street lamp, with her helmet still on. The noisy surroundings did not make her blend in. Several moths were circling around the light, and the lively background set off her loneliness.

Gu Siyu turned the car around and drove back.

Gu Siyu stood at the door and rang the doorbell frantically, but it kept ringing and no one came out.

The night was not quiet enough. The insects and birds in the green belt were chirping, and together with the doorbell, it sounded like a lively party.

Gu Siyu leaned against the street lamp at the villa gate.

It was not a full moon tonight. The crescent moon looked like a hooked tooth, and the stars were numerous, densely appearing in the night sky.

There was a little wind at night, and the sun-baked leaves blew to Gu Siyu's feet. She lifted her leg and crushed the leaves with one step.
