"Bai Gege!" Han Shun entered the empty teashop, trying to find Bai Gege somewhere.

"Bai Gege, it's me, Han Shun!" 

…

There was no answer from the kitchen where Bai Gege usually stayed. He started to get anxious when he couldn't find Bai Gege anywhere, even when he searched all around the teashop.

"M—Maybe he is in his courtyard!" Han Shun said to calm himself down. He rushed to Bai Gege's courtyard, hoping he could see the beautiful Bai Gege playing Guqin under the plum blossom tree.

But when he entered the courtyard, he found nothing but silence. 

"Gege…" 

Han Shun was lost. He didn't know what to do since he couldn't find Bai Gege everywhere. 

He approached the plum blossom tree and found a letter near the tree trunk.

He opened the letter and found Bai Gege's handwriting. He knew this because Bai Gege had taught him how to read and write, so he knew really well what Bai Gege's handwriting looked like.
