["You're Geguwu?" The Night Watchman looked at the girl in considerable surprise.]
["Yes, why... do you know me? Are you a fellow alumnus?" The girl who called herself Geguwu scratched her cheek, looking a little embarrassed. "When I graduated, I told everyone I was going back home for an arranged date.
