Embarking on a journey from the quaint Dongmen Village to the bustling county seat, Liu Yong found solace in his familiarity with the road, confidently navigating the path unaccompanied.
Lu Xiujie had thoughtfully shared the location map, yet Liu Yong possessed an innate knowledge of the route, rendering the need for navigation obsolete. The destination resided in a community opposite the school—a community that housed the newly acquired abode of Teacher Zhang.
In a remarkably brief span of 20 to 30 minutes, Liu Yong arrived at the gate of his former high school, which had witnessed his transformative three-year educational sojourn. From there, his gaze extended towards the community that stood opposite, beckoning him to explore its alleys and corridors.
