From afar, Wen Xian saw that familiar figure, her breathing slowed.
Time around her seemed to stretch, each minute, each second elongated.
She never imagined that the man who haunted her nights, the one she believed to turn for a lifetime, would so suddenly reappear in her view.
From a distance, she saw him wearing a black coat, swiftly weaving through the crowd as if he were chasing someone. His footsteps stopped for a moment, blending into the moving crowd.
Her first reaction upon seeing him was shock; her second was to look around for any suspicious figures.
She deduced that Lu Xiao's sudden appearance might be due to an assignment.
Indeed.
As she stood at the storefront, she noticed a man in a gray outfit approaching quickly, wearing a hat, looking inconspicuous.
Since the area was mostly filled with tourists leisurely browsing the stores, only he moved hastily.
Soon, that man would pass by her side.
