Chen Zilong was so frightened that the salted duck egg in his hand almost dropped.
âSis, do you want to eat? I can share half with you,â he offered.
As Xiao Qian saw her brother turn to the side, within a split second, Yu Minglang also turned sideways. In an instant, he was once again out of Chen Zilongâs line of sight from behind.
The situation now was like this: Yu Minglangâs back was against the wall of the corridor, Xiao Qian leaned against the opposite wall, and Chen Zilong was standing in the middle on the staircase that was just over a meter wide, forming a straight line with the other two.
Xiao Qian could see both of them, while Chen Zilong could only see Xiao Qian. Yu Minglang was less than 20 centimeters away from Chen Zilong.
âSis?â Chen Zilong thought his sister was acting strange today.
âItâs nothing⦠Go back to your room!â Xiao Qian felt like she was about to be frightened to death by Yu Minglang.
âOh.â Chen Zilong turned around again, and Yu Minglang skillfully followed suit, all without Chen Zilong noticing.
Chen Zilong walked ahead, Xiao Qian walked in the middle, and Yu Minglang followed behind like a ghost.
Xiao Qian couldnât help but admire his ability to hide his presence. If she hadnât known in advance that Yu Minglang was right behind her, she wouldnât have sensed him without looking back.
Chen Zilong had reached the door of his room, and Xiao Qian had also reached her own door. They were about to pull off a successful deception when suddenly, Jia Xiufangâs door opened. Rubbing her eyes, Jia Xiufang walked out of her room, yawning as she spoke.
âWhat are you two siblings up to? Itâs so late, and youâre making so much noiseâ¦â
Xiao Qian felt her blood run cold. This was bad; her motherâs angle had no blind spots, and he was about to get exposed!
Jia Xiufang opened the door, and both Xiao Qian and Chen Zilong turned around.
Xiao Qian closed her eyes. How was she supposed to explain the man behind her?
Would anyone believe her if she claimed their house was haunted?
âQianâer, why are you closing your eyes? Arc you sleepwalking?â Jia Xiufang walked over and waved her hand in front of Xiao Qianâs face.
Xiao Qian opened her eyes, looked behind with the determination to face death, and, huh, there was no one there?
Where did Yu Minglang go?
âIâm fine. I just came out to check on something,â she replied.
âStop messing around. Go to bed early. Da Long, did you find any food to eat?â Jia Xiufang asked her son.
Xiao Qian glanced left and right.
Her mom and her brother were looking at her from two different directions, so there shouldnât have been any dead angles. Had this guy just disappeared into thin air?
âI found a salted duck egg. Iâll just eat it with some green onions and a steamed bun. Mom, I really smelled fried meat, even with some cumin.â The late-night smell made him so hungry.
âNonsense, what meat? Hurry up and go to sleep.â Jia Xiufang looked at her son and daughter and went back to her room. As she closed the door, she smelled fried meat as well â it did make her a little hungry.
âMy dear sister, are you sure you donât want to share the delicious egg with me?â Before entering his room, Chen Zilong teased Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian kicked him, âGet lost!â
As Chen Zilong was kicked into his room, he felt wronged.
âWhat did I do? Donât praise me, but donât scold me eitherâ¦â
Where did he offend his sister!
Donât try to guess Xiao Qianâs thoughts; itâs difficult to understand.
All her thoughts right now were focused on one thing â where did Xiao Qiang go?
Looking up, oh, she figured it out.
He climbed up the wall. All his skills went into this. It shows that people need to be versatile, and thereâs always a use for those skills in critical moments. Xiao Qiang felt very confident about his abilities..
