Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared beside her. She let out a short scream before hearing a familiar voice.

”It's me,” the man said.

”Oh!” She clutched at her chest and felt her wildly beating heart. ”Mr. Lu, you startled me!”

”Miss, are you alright?!” a young man with his buddy called from the other side of the street.

”Yes! I know this man. I was startled just now. I'm really alright. Thank you for your concern!”

After being reassured, the two young men finally left. Long Jinjing breathed out a sigh of relief. Then she turned to Lu Zihao who was standing beside her.

”Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?”
