The servant turned off all the lights outside.
She couldn't see clearly and searched for the cup in the dim light for a long time but couldn't find it. She became anxious and wanted to turn on the light angrily.
Suddenly, someone put the glass that belonged to her and was looking for her next to the bar where she had just been groping.
He was very steady, without even a trembling motion, as if he had been observing her for a long time and could no longer bear to watch her.
Only then did Yu Huan realize that there was a figure behind the bar, holding a cup in his hand, and he was also there to drink water.
But he came early and quietly, so Yu Huan didn't look in that direction and didn't notice.
She took the cup, poured some water into it, drank two sips and went back upstairs.
Gu Lan finished the water in his cup and put it back. He stared at her half-full cup of water for a long time, but did nothing.

Bai Wanyuan came back to pick up Yu Huan to go abroad.
Gu Lan had already received his acceptance letter and was due to register in two days. He left a day earlier than Yu Huan, and Qin's father had made time to send him to school that day.
This year has been pretty good. We've let go of our worries and things have become easier for us to get along with.
But before Gu Lan left, there was one person he wanted to say goodbye to—the aunt who had brought him midnight snacks every night for more than a year.
Even when they didn't know each other yet, she showed kindness to him, and Gu Lan has always been grateful for that.
He found his aunt and gave her the gift he had prepared. He had a lot to say, but because he was introverted, he couldn't say it when it came to his lips.
In the end, I could only joke that when he was gone, I shouldn't prepare too many midnight snacks.
The aunt waved her hand and said that she didn't prepare too much. She prepared two servings every day and she remembered it clearly.
"Two?" Gu Lan repeated, a little puzzled. "Isn't that the leftovers?"
"Oh my! How can you let people eat leftovers?" Auntie felt she was being wronged and said, "I didn't give you any leftovers. The eldest lady said to prepare two portions, so I always made two portions. I didn't give you any leftovers..."
The aunt was eager to prove her innocence, but she didn't notice that the boy opposite seemed to tremble suddenly.
"You mean..." When he mentioned her, Gu Lan's voice inexplicably dropped, as if the weight of that person was pressing on the tip of his tongue, making it impossible to lift it. "Is that what she meant?"
The tone of the question was a little vague.
"Yes. Not the leftovers." Auntie kept repeating that sentence.
"Anyway, thank you for taking care of me for so long."
Gu Lan asked a few more questions, and after finding out what was going on, he said goodbye to his aunt and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
She did this very early, when he had just come to the Qin family and she hadn't even started calling him brother.
He remembered that the Qin family had dinner too early, and he always felt hungry because he went to bed late, but he never told anyone about it.
She actually noticed such a secret thing.
True feelings and false ones were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell them apart. But what Gu Lan couldn't control was that his heart started beating again, and it was beating so fast that it made it difficult for him to breathe.
He used to think it was because he hated her for playing with him, but later he felt that the hatred had disappeared and the symptoms had not improved.
