Zhou Lan staggered along the road. Walking out in the open had actually eliminated her sleepiness. After being jostled all the way, she was only a short walk from home now.
She had a strange feeling that someone was following her. Zhou Lan slowed down, feeling a sense of unease creeping into her heart. She turned to look, but there was nothing to be seen.
Zhou Lan scrutinized the road behind her, only continuing on when she was certain no one was there. As she turned around, her pupils dilated in shock. "Ah –"
Before she could finish screaming, a hand clamped over her mouth. Zhou Lan tried to retreat in terror but was dragged into a corner.
Despite her struggles, the man easily overpowered Zhou Lan. "Mmm! Mmm!"
"Shut up." The man whispered harshly into her ear. Zhou Lan quickly nodded her agreement. Seeing her compliance, he released her mouth.
