She Didn't Want to Separate from Him (1)

"Y-Ye Sijue… Why are we walking this way?" Their surroundings were getting darker as he walked, which made Annie scared. It was especially so since she couldn't see what was in front of her and could only hug Ye Sijue's neck.

She was puzzled. They had seen some streetlights earlier. Why didn't he walk there?

"Shh." Ye Sijue turned his head slightly. His low voice seemed to speak beside her ear as he said, "There's someone following us."

Annie froze. "Someone's…"

Afraid that she would cry out, Ye Sijue lifted a hand to cover her mouth.

Annie's eyes widened in surprise. She tapped at his hand, and whispered after he moved it away, "How do you know that someone is following us?"

"It's a gut feeling," Ye Sijue answered in a low voice.

It didn't feel right for Annie to ask if his gut feelings were accurate since they had already come all the way here.
