Li Si and An Xi both gawked at An'an as she held the cordyceps in her hand. "Where did you get it from?"
An'an smiled at them. "That's none of your business."
Li Si and An Xi looked at each other and walked out together. "Miss An'an, we'll have to trouble you with Yan Zi then."

She walked in front and arrived beside Lu Yan. His head was lowered and his fringe was dripping wet, covering his bloodshot eyes. Huge droplets of sweat were dripping down his jaw and it wet his shirt and trousers.
As she stretched out her hand, her fingers slowly caressed his clammy face.
At the sudden touch, Lu Yan suddenly lifted his head and reacted violently, glaring at An'an with bloodshot eyes. When he realised who it was, his face darkened even more. He shouted at her with a hoarse voice, "Scram!"
He wanted her to scram.
