Jiang Yan obediently leaned against her. A light drizzle surrounded them, and pedestrians hurried home, no one wanting to linger in the rain. The cobblestones were riddled with potholes, accumulating rainwater. A careless step could be disastrous; clothes would be stained with splashed water, and shoes would be soaked.
