After running desperately all the way, Yulan felt as if her legs were filled with lead, and her lungs burned as if on fire. She ducked into a secluded alley, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath, her heart pounding frantically in her chest.
She looked around warily. Seeing no sign of Xi Mingzhou, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, though fear still clung to her like a shadow. She knew Xi Mingzhou's temperament all too well: once his blood was up, he acted recklessly and would never let things go easily.

In Yulan's view, as long as she hid out and held on until he left, the whole thing would be easy to resolve.
Yet she never expected to run into Xi Mingzhou today, nor did she expect some unexpected character to suddenly appear and expose her.
