Perplexed and Smitten (48)

The town of Wales became much livelier and crowded at night, a stark contrast from the day.

Perhaps it was because the temperatures were much cooler at night, thus making it easier and more comfortable for everyone to move about.

An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin were exhausted because of the various obstacles they had to overcome the day before. Besides, there was still a corpse inside their rented room, making it inconvenient for them to move about. Hence, they stayed in since neither of them wanted to go out anyway.

They felt secretly thankful and relieved when they heard Wen Lele and He Yi's voices because they did not bump into each other directly.

They were staying on different floors, and An Xiaoning could guess how frustrated and terrified they both felt even without having to look at their faces.

Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning initially planned to leave the next morning. However, they changed their minds and decided to leave that night instead.
