Chen Zilong was so frightened that the salted duck egg in his hand almost dropped.

“Sis, do you want to eat? I can share half with you,” 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 Zilong’s line of sight from behind.

The situation now was like this: Yu Minglang’s 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.

“Sis?” Chen Zilong thought his sister was acting strange today.

“It’s nothing… Go back to your room!” Xiao Qian felt like she was about to be frightened to death by Yu Minglang.

“Oh.” 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 couldn’t help but admire his ability to hide his presence. If she hadn’t known in advance that Yu Minglang was right behind her, she wouldn’t 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 Xiufang’s door opened. Rubbing her eyes, Jia Xiufang walked out of her room, yawning as she spoke.

“What are you two siblings up to? It’s so late, and you’re making so much noise…”

Xiao Qian felt her blood run cold. This was bad; her mother’s 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?

“Qian’er, why are you closing your eyes? Arc you sleepwalking?” Jia Xiufang walked over and waved her hand in front of Xiao Qian’s 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?

“I’m fine. I just came out to check on something,” she replied.

“Stop messing around. Go to bed early. Da Long, did you find any food to eat?” 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 shouldn’t have been any dead angles. Had this guy just disappeared into thin air?

“I found a salted duck egg. I’ll just eat it with some green onions and a steamed bun. Mom, I really smelled fried meat, even with some cumin.” The late-night smell made him so hungry.

“Nonsense, what meat? Hurry up and go to sleep.” 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 – it did make her a little hungry.

“My dear sister, are you sure you don’t want to share the delicious egg with me?” Before entering his room, Chen Zilong teased Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian kicked him, “Get lost!”

As Chen Zilong was kicked into his room, he felt wronged.

“What did I do? Don’t praise me, but don’t scold me either…”

Where did he offend his sister!

Don’t try to guess Xiao Qian’s thoughts; it’s difficult to understand.

All her thoughts right now were focused on one thing – 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 there’s always a use for those skills in critical moments. Xiao Qiang felt very confident about his abilities..
