"Is that so..." She deliberately let go and put some distance between them before the other person came closer.

Pei Zhiyu did not finish the second half of the sentence on purpose. She cleaned up the mess, picked up the thermos and was about to leave, which really made Qin Hezhou anxious.

"You haven't answered me yet!"

She paused to close the door, poked her head out, and asked instead of answering, "What kind of dumplings do you want for New Year's Eve dinner?"

Qin Hezhou turned his head and smiled: "It's all right."

"People like you who are 'casual' and 'anything goes' are the hardest to serve." Pei Zhiyu muttered and closed the door, but the smile on his face could not be wiped away.

After finishing an important matter in my mind, even the dead tree outside the corridor window suddenly became more interesting.

However, Zhong Yue still hadn't replied. She usually replied instantly when she held her phone. The last time she did that was when Cheng Xiuqi was following her...

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiyu panicked. Seeing that the elevator was still not coming, he anxiously pressed the button several times.

But this was Hanfang. At most, Zhou Yanli would catch her. It shouldn't be like last time. Before getting into the elevator, she sent another message to Zhong Yue, asking her to call back and send her the location.

"well……"

I worry about this and that and never stop.

The signal in the elevator was poor, and Pei Zhiyu waited until she reached the first floor before checking her phone. There was still no reply, so she called directly.

After two beeps, the call was finally connected and Zhong Yue's voice came from the other end.

"Hey Xiaoyu, are you done?"

"Yeah, are you taking revenge on me for not replying to your message this morning? I thought something happened to you when you didn't reply." Pei Zhiyu said half complaining and half worriedly. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard the unusual ambient noise over there, his heart was in suspense again.

"Why is there so much noise next to you? Aren't you in the hospital?"

"I'm in a small park nearby." Zhong Yue covered her phone, her voice barely a whisper. "It seems like someone is following me."

"Following you?!"

Pei Zhiyu was startled and his brain stopped working for a while. After he recovered, he immediately asked Zhong Yue to send him the location.

The park is located not far from the hospital and only takes a few minutes to walk there.

She walked quickly and told Zhong Yue, "Don't hang up the phone. I'll come find you right away."

"Well, go to the far right when you enter the park. There's an activity room for seniors here. I'm among the people playing cards, at the table closest to the wall." As he spoke, the old man next to him let out a loud and energetic "Bang!", and Zhong Yue perfunctorily responded by clapping.

But Pei Zhiyu became even more nervous.

"Are you safe now? Otherwise I'll call the police first."

"Don't call the police!" Zhong Yue suddenly raised his tone.

"Why?" Pei Zhiyu asked.

She replied timidly, "There's no evidence. They'll say we made a false police report. And I'm also worried that I'm just being too sensitive lately."

"Then you just need to be more careful. We can talk about other things after I get here." Pei Zhiyu sighed, feeling a little helpless, and quickened his pace.

A few minutes later, Pei Zhiyu finally arrived at the location, a community park next to Hanfang.

It's really lively here. Some people are doing Tai Chi on the lawn, some are playing chess in the pavilion, and some middle-aged women are dancing square dance in the central open space of the park.

Pei Zhiyu couldn't help wondering after seeing this, is square dancing now popular during the day?

After walking through the crowd and walking a long way, she finally found the activity room that Zhong Yue mentioned. It was full of people playing cards.

The innermost table... Pei Zhiyu glanced at all four corners, but didn't see Zhong Yue anywhere.

Could something really have happened to this girl?

Her heart instantly jumped to her throat. She looked over the table and rummaged through her pocket for her cell phone to call the police.

Suddenly, there was a loud "clang" sound——

An old man on the left overturned the table.

The peanuts and melon seeds mixed with mahjong tiles all rolled to the ground with a "bang". The old man seemed still not satisfied. He swung his hand and picked up a stool from behind and wanted to attack.

He grabbed the man opposite by the collar and angrily demanded, "Are you deliberately trying to trick me? How dare you cheat me here? Why don't you ask what I did when I was young!!!"

Seeing that his stool was about to hit the man's head, someone nearby couldn't bear to watch and tried to stop him. Unexpectedly, the old man was so quick that he hit the person who tried to stop him.

In an instant, people around rushed forward, some to try to stop the fight, and some to add fuel to the fire.

The victim was screaming and crying, and the attacker continued to curse.

Everything is in chaos.

Pei Zhiyu didn't have time to pay attention to this. She had to find Zhong Yue quickly, and she didn't know where this girl was now.

She had just taken two steps to the other side when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

When I turned around, I found Zhong Yue in the chaotic crowd. He wanted to squeeze out but couldn't. He could only stick his head out and wave his hands.

"Come and help me, Xiaoyu! I can't move."

Pei Zhiyu felt relieved, but at the same time, he was speechless. "You really are...good at finding a place."

Zhong Yue's place is the most lively one right now. People are gathered in layers, and those inside can't get out and those outside can't get in.

It took her a long time to push through three or four layers of the crowd. Just as she was about to squeeze in again, she suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Fuck it, if you don't stop I'm going to call the police!!!"

"Fuck, call the police if you want, let's see who's afraid of who!"

"Even if the police come, I'm still right, you bastard!"

“Who are you scolding?!”

"Can you please disperse quickly? Someone is suffocating to death!"
