For some reason, it seemed to be getting colder around them. When Lu Qin looked up slightly, she noticed a fine drizzle gently falling from the sky.
There are no people on the road ahead.
As for the rest… well, I don’t know.
Her heart skipped a beat—could she really be so unlucky? Even more terrifying was the faint yet unmistakable sound of footsteps coming from behind her! Lu Qin quickly turned around and saw a man wearing a black hoodie.
The man wore a black cap on his head and a black mask over his face; the streetlights were too dim to make his appearance clearly visible.
Lu Qin stopped.
The man also stopped in his tracks.
Lu Qin’s entire body was tense; her heart pounded fiercely in her chest. Without a word, she gripped her phone tightly and ran off! Midway through, she turned back and saw the man chasing her with clear intent. Her resolve crumbled completely, and she ran even faster. Out of breath, she rushed into her rental apartment, slammed the door shut, and it took her quite some time to come to her senses.
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.
My legs were so weak that I could hardly stand steadily.
Lu Qin sat on the sofa, her fingers trembling as she held the steaming tea cup. After taking a few sips, she felt as if she had returned to reality.
The link to that perverted man following Yu Yu’s previous post hadn’t even been clicked by Lu Qin when she suddenly remembered it.
Lu Qin clicked on the link, skimmed over the text, and looked at those few remaining photos.
As a painter, Lu Qin has a keen sensitivity to human body lines and contours; when observing someone, she instinctively begins by sketching their features.
The man’s height, physique, walking posture, and slightly forward-leaning upper body perfectly matched that of the man pursuing her! Lu Qin never imagined she would be so unlucky.
She immediately dialed 110, briefly explained the situation to the police along with her name, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
The phone kept vibrating nonstop, and only then did Lu Qin realize she hadn’t checked in to Yu Yu yet—so she immediately opened WeChat.
[Little Fish Bubble]: Qin Qin! Have you seen this post? It’s really terrifying! That pervert actually harassed so many women! [Little Fish Bubble]: Be careful! [Little Fish Bubble]: Qin Qin? [Little Fish Bubble]: Don’t scare me—send me a reply quickly! [Horror] [Little Fish Bubble]: What’s wrong with you? What happened?! Qin Qin! Don’t joke; I truly realize my mistake! [Little Fish Bubble]: [Crying] As Lu Qin scrolled down the message list, she was deeply moved by what she read. Just as she was about to reply, another five or six messages appeared.
[Little Fish Bubble]: Qin Qin, don’t worry—we’re already on our way with Da Zhuang.
“Little Fish Bubble”: I’ll come to save you! “Little Fish Bubble”: Uuuuuh… you little wretch, could something really have happened to you? “Little Fish Bubble”: I’m sorry; if anything happens to you, I won’t live either! [Crying uncontrollably] “Little Fish Bubble”: Please… Lu Qin knew Yu Yu must be terrified—since she hadn’t received a response for nearly twenty minutes, she immediately sent a voice message.
“I’m fine; I’ve already arrived home.” “It’s true that a man was following me just now. Don’t worry—I’ve called the police; they said they’ll be here soon.” “Yuyu, where are you?” “Hey, you little wretch… you really wouldn’t come to see me?” After sending the voice message, Lu Qin kept staring at the chat interface for minutes on end—yet there was still no response.
“Bang, bang, bang!” The door was suddenly slammed open from the outside with
