Chapter 59: Watching from a distance (2/2)

“Yes. An enemy’s enemy is a friend. You’re right!” For the time being, Shen Shaonu allowed me to inspect with her. “But do you have any idea on how to ruin their date?”

“Ruin their date?” I lowered my head and thought about it. “Why don’t we approach them upfront?”

Shen Shaonu shook her head. “If Suyang brother sees me, he will know I was behind this. We need to think of a way where we won’t be exposed. It has to be natural…..ah, got it!”

Shen Shaonu suddenly thought of something as she took her phone out and made a phone call.

“Hello? Zhengyang? What are you doing right now? I see Mi Fan. Do you want to come? Ah. Yes. Ok. I’ll send you the address and wait for you here!” She ended her short conversation with the person. Currently, Shen Shaonu was beaming.

“Who did you call?” Seeing her cunning smile, I felt like something bad was about to happen.

Shen Shaonu looked at me and the corner of her mouth curved upwards. She whispered in my ear, “The person I called is a friend of mine. He’s also someone who cannot live underneath the same sky as Mi Fan. The moment he appears, I’m quite sure Mi Fan will have much more to worry about than her date.”

“He’s that powerful?” I asked suspiciously.

“Just wait. Soon, the evil woman’s greed and evil nature will be exposed!” Shen Shaonu bitterly declared. I was starting to think that the hatred Shen Shaonu had towards Mi Fan was not simply restricted to her being Suyang’s date.

*Pa* *Pa*!

Shen Shaonu and I were smacking mosquitoes left and right. There were so many mosquitoes in the shrub. But Shen Shaonu didn’t seem to waver at all as she patiently waited for her friend to arrive.

I thought the mosquitoes in shrubs don’t target humans? But I already had two huge bites on my neck. I was so itchy…

I was physically and emotionally exhausted from fighting with the mosquitoes. Eventually, I was no longer able to focus. It was as if all my bites had decided to activate their itch at the same time. I was so uncomfortable.

“I can’t handle this. I have too many bites. I’m going to go to the store to get some anti-itch spray!” I told Shen Shaonu.

“Hmm. Looks like your blood is tastier better than mines? I haven’t gotten a single bite yet. Big sister, your blood type is the O, right?”

“I’ll discuss my blood type with you after I come back.” I turned around and struggled to get up. My legs were quite numb from hiding for so long. Then, I slowly and quietly headed towards the direction of a pharmacy.

I bought a bottle of anti-itch spray and sprayed some on my neck. It had an instant cool and refreshing effect. I felt much better. However, I wasn’t brave enough to return to the shrub again. I was standing on the side of the road pondering what I should do next. Should I go home first? After all, Shen Shaonu seemed to know what she was doing…

“Ah!” Someone from behind me ran into my shoulder. He didn’t even apologize. The teenager walked by me with his head lowered. I held onto my shoulder and noticed he was swaying while holding onto a wine bottle. Is he drunk?

“A punk that lacks common decency!” I rubbed my painful shoulder as I blurted at his back view. Suddenly, I felt a blast of cold air coming from behind me. I slowly turned around and noticed a white-haired old man. He was glaring with me with his two bloodshot red eyes.

“Ah!” I was so frightened that I took a few steps backwards and yelled without the intentions of doing so.

He was a bit transparent. It was a ghost!

I realized everyone’s eyes were on me and I closed my mouth. I pretended I wasn’t the person who had screamed as I closed my eyes and hummed a song.

“Old man, you’re so scary. Old man, you’re so scary! Old man, I don’t know you. Can you please not stare at me like this?” I muttered like a broken record. After a few seconds, I felt like there was no movements. So, I cracked my eyes opened.

The old man was gone. He was following closely behind the teenager.

But worse of all, my actions had caught the attention of all those around. Strangers on the streets, staffs from the stores, and volunteers that were passing pamphlets on the road were all giving me odd looks. To make the matters worse, Suyang had discovered me from the coffee shop.

The moment we made eye contact, I thought to myself, oh shit! What should I say if he asks me why I am here?

As I planned to slip away, I noticed Shen Shaonu standing up. But her destination was the opposite of mine. She was running towards the coffee shop.

What happened?

I thought she said she didn’t want to expose herself? Why's she making it so obvious now?
