Shen Lan was likewise apprehensive, so she agreed to Cheng Yanqing's proposal: "Alright, I'll leave it to you then. I hope I don't run into him again."
Cheng Yanqing's speculation proved to be accurate. Qi Xuan's obsession with Shen Lan had reached a pathological level. He constantly lurked around, unwilling to leave. The only reason he did not approach was because he saw Cheng Yanqing was there as well.
As they walked towards Shen Lan's home, Cheng Yanqing kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, worried that Qi Xuan might be secretly following.
Despite Cheng Yanqing's meticulous caution, he still failed to notice Qi Xuan hiding in the shadows. This man must have done something like this before — he was eerily silent and went unnoticed.
