He Jinxuan had the key to the small courtyard and went straight there after leaving Qin Peiyi's place.
Thinking that he would soon need to go out again, before leaving Beijing, he wanted to tell Xinyan to be careful.
As he walked, the alcohol also sobered up.
When he arrived at the small courtyard, Xinyan had already gone to her teacher's place to learn.
Seeing it was still early, he poured himself a glass of water to drink before planning to head to the backyard to use the bathroom.
But when he got to the backyard and saw the two small vegetable plots, he thought Xinyan had been busy recently and probably hadn't had time to water them.
After watering all the vegetable plots, he was fully sober. Checking the time, he figured Xinyan would be coming out by the time he got there.
When he arrived at the Du Family, Xinyan had just come out of the study: "Jinxuan, why are you here?"
