Gu Nianzhi’s gaze swept across the concentric circles, taking them all in; she did not venture any further
While she was doing this, the Dufeng Mountain Resort Villa usher led Little Te, and handed her a list of nauest list for your class Please take a look and confir is in order As you can see froned the roo as she said, “Not my job, actually, but I’ll hand this to our class rep for you”
“Thank you” The usher s the two of them outside
Gu Nianzhi fell behind She continued to look around as she walked
She was now actively looking for the dark green concentric circles, the fluorescent ◎ symbols
This time, she did not find the concentric circles; instead, there were other s
For example, she saw faint scratches,the road They appeared to be depictions of arrows
Some of the arroere pointed forwards, while others were pointed backwards; so down They looked like hty child
Even so, Gu Nianzhi slowly but surely discovered an underlying pattern
It was like working out one of those questions in a mathematics co pattern froly randoood at this, back when she was 12
Chen Lie had given her similar math problems to solve, as part of his psychotherapy sessions with her…
Before she knew it, she had broken away from the usher and Little Temptress and wandered off on her own
She looked inquisitively about, acting the part of a curious child who had gotten lost; in actual fact, she was deliberately walking the perieway, decorated with red hanging lanterns She walked along it and yue Court She had just reached the lake when she saw, out of the corner of her eye, a figure zip past her quickly before silently diving into the water
The man’s movements had been as quick and precise as a professional diver’s
Gu Nianzhi kneas a good diver because he had made only the barest splash when he jumped into the lake The water surface had quickly becoined the whole thing
But Gu Nianzhi had the eyes of an eagle Most people would not have seen the figure jueway into the lake – but she had, and she was sure of it
Gu Nianzhi pretended not to have noticed anything She picked up a small stone and threw it into Little Mirror Lake She watched the resulting splash, then smiled beatifically as she turned to walk away
The sky gradually darkened The ht leaked feebly froes of the cloud, up above in the sky and down below, reflected on the surface of the lake
Little Mirror Lake sparkled with ht, quiet and peaceful Every once and a while, there was the sound of fish breaching the water for some fresh air
Gu Nianzhi wiped her brow, and her hand ca profusely, and she hadn’t even realized it
