Small living room, no one!
Bedroom, no one!
Balcony, still no one!
The more Gu Xiaoer searched, the more her heart sank. He couldn't have really left, right? Sob sob sob, no, please don't! This whole "coming quietly, leaving quietly" thing feels really awful!
She finally reached the little study, took a glance, still no one.
Just as she was dejectedly failing to find anyone, she heard a faint splashing sound coming from the room next to the study.
The girl's expression instantly lit up. Her brother must have just gotten up and was washing up.
With a spring in her step, she ran toward the bathroom, and without a second thought pushed the door open to look for him.
And then—
She froze at the scene in the bathroom.
She stayed frozen for about three seconds.
"Wow!"
The girl let out a gasp of pure, jaw-dropping amazement from her throat.
