Even though not far away, the figure was hidden in the murky shadows, and its features could not be seen clearly. However, Youyou was sharp enough to recognize Natalia from the edges of her snow-white garment.
Wasn't she supposed to be in the ward?
Youyou sprang up from the swing in shock. The girl seemed to sense his attention and ducked away, turning to leave.
"Natalia!" The boy called out to her. The figure halted for a brief moment, but then quickly took off in the other direction.
"Wait!" When Youyou saw this, he immediately ran after her.
Natalia wasn't a fast runner. The boy, after all, was taller so it took only a moment for him to catch up to her. But then she very quickly changed direction and disappeared around the corner.
