Song Mingjian made some preparations and stepped out of Yulan Courtyard.
In the past three years, the number of times he had left Yulan Courtyard could be counted on one hand. At first, it was because he had no money and nowhere to go. Later, it was because he felt it was meaningless; now that his face was disfigured, his former colleagues wouldn't recognize him, and he couldn't speak anyway. At the thought of this, a shadow of despondency fell over him.
Back when the house in Yulan Courtyard hadn't been rented out, he had thought about seeking help from a close friend. He had found his way to the friend's doorstep, only to be beaten away by the gatekeeper. He waited at the entrance, and when he finally saw his friend, he took out the paper he had prepared. It read: "I am Song Mingjian."
