Having left the orphanage, it was already close to noon. Su Liuying didn't rush to hail a taxi; she meandered down the road, feeling an urge to cry over the children's reluctance to let her go.
She paused in front of a glass wall, staring blankly at it for a while until she snapped back to reality. An unintentional glance through the glass revealed someone behind her spying on her with what seemed to be a malevolent glare that startled her and made her turn around, only to see Niu Xiaoli and her body that hadn't fully retreated.
"Xiaoli?"
Su Liuying called out to Niu Xiaoli quizzically, prompting Niu Xiaoli to emerge from around the corner with an awkward smile.
"Liuying!"
"Xiaoli, are you stalking me?"
"Of course not, why would I stalk you!"
Niu Xiaoli adjusted her hair with her hand and said, "I just happened to be passing by!"
"Oh!"
