It’s getting lateThe girls take a bus back to the super bus station to catch another busMu Han Xia is about to walk away too when she sees light co supere of constructionIt’s almost ready for business
A brand new building, painted in white, with their na - Your mart” written in a sinEven though it’s trendy, it seems to lack a certain warmth and joy when compared to the red colours Le Ya uses
And it’s darkAnd it’s quietMu Han Xia decides to sneak into the shop to check out the competition
She crosses the road and walks past a few construction workers as if she is just passing by the areaThen, when they are not looking, she walks down an alleyway that leads to the rear of the building
She is standing in a newly constructed carparkIt’s empty except for one car parked in the cornerMu Han Xia recognises that Porsche CayenneSo, looks like the boss is still working in the office
One of the roller doors of the warehouse is still openShe wants to ‘accidentally’ walk in to take a look at what products are stored thereBut before she gets a chance, she hears soht of stairs
She quickly runs around the corner and hides herselfShe takes a peep
It’s Lin Mo Chen
Mu Han Xia keeps her body as straight and as close to the wall as possibleBut every now and then, she leans forward to watch what Lin Mo Chen is doing
He is walking towards the car with his hands in his pocketThen when he is next to his car, he takes out the keys and press the remote control button to unlock the car doors Then he pausesLin Mo Chen is not getting into the carInstead, he starts walking in the direction of where Mu Han Xia is
Mu Han Xia quickly leans backHer heart starts to poundThe lighting in the area is pretty diently moves with the windThe place is very quietShe is notany noiseAnd neither is he
Mu Han Xia decides this is not a place to lingerShe takes small steps and quietly walks back toward the front of the buildingBut it’s dark and it’s hard to see where she is going She is feeling the ith her feetOccasionally, she steps on a pile of dirtBut it’s not the time to think about whether her shoes are dirtyShe just wants to leave the areaAnd just as she starts to feel relieved, she hears a dry laugh from behind her
“Ah…” She panics and loses her balance as she steps into an undulating pitshe falls face down to the ground“Ough ough” She coughs because of the irritation caused by the dust going into her nostrilsHer face is full of dirt too
She begins to feel pain on her elbows and kneesShe tries to get up, but the heels of one of her shoes is stuck in the crack on the groundThen she hears so next to her
He bends down and look her in the eyesMu Han Xia blushesShe can see his bright eyes clearly, even in the low light conditions
