On a wide east-west street, lined with scattered houses, a girl in a dark blue jacket wrapped tightly around her was walking hurriedly forward. She only slowed down her pace after turning the corner and stepping into an alley lined with sycamore trees.
Su Nan looked back and saw that no one was following her, so she took out the key and prepared to open the gate. At this moment, someone patted her shoulder hard.
"Ah." A shrill scream echoed through the empty street. The birds that were originally resting on the branches were frightened and flew away, leaving behind two pieces of feathers.
"Xiao Su, you're going to scare me to death." Aunt Zhao patted her chest. She was also frightened by Su Nan's sudden scream.
"It's you." Su Nan swallowed and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.
"Who else could it be besides me? Did something happen to you? Where's Xiao Zhouren? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Aunt Zhao was keenly aware of something and subconsciously looked in the direction where Su Nan came from. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, she frowned in confusion.
"Nothing, I probably haven't had enough rest recently, and I always feel like someone is following me." Su Nan forced a smile, and then continued: "Zhou asked him to be busy, so he hasn't come to see me recently."
"Oh, you have to take care of yourself. You don't look very well. Do you want to go to the hospital? Also, you're a little girl living here alone, so you have to be more careful."
Aunt Zhao looked Su Nan up and down with concern and gave him some kind advice.
"Thank you for your concern. I will find time to see a doctor." Su Nan waved to Aunt Zhao and watched her go away.
After Aunt Zhao left, Su Nan rubbed his forehead and looked towards the end of Wutong Street again with concern. Not surprisingly, he saw nothing.
But what was going on with the uneasiness that was gradually welling up in my heart?
A few days after Xiao Fangyun left the photo studio last time, Su Nan noticed that someone was following her every time she got off work.
At first she thought she was just being overly sensitive, but as she noticed it more and more times, she no longer felt it was an illusion.
Moreover, there are many such cases in later generations. It is not uncommon to hear news of single women living alone being stalked and then abandoned in the wilderness.
But the most annoying thing is that they just can’t catch anyone.
Su Nan's heart was beating fast. After taking two deep breaths, he quickly opened the door with the key and then locked the yard door.
Looking at the tightly closed gate, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let his guard down. He turned around and ran back to the kitchen to take out the glass bottle he had prepared long ago and carefully placed it on the lock.
Whenever someone tried to open the door with force or pry it open, the glass bottle would fall to the ground, making a shattering sound, and alert her who was in the room that there was danger.
Although it didn't help in any substantial way, at least it could allow her to take precautions in advance.
After making sure the glass bottle was securely placed on the lock, Su Nan turned around and went back to the room.
After she entered the room, a figure in a gray coat appeared outside the yard door. He bent down and looked inside through the crack in the door.
The gap was very small, and only a small part of the courtyard scene could be seen. After the lights in the room came on, the man's lips curled up into a strange smile.
Early the next morning, Su Nan rubbed his eyes, yawned, put on his clothes, opened the door, and went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash his face.
As soon as he walked out of the room, his eyes widened, his whole body froze in place, staring motionlessly at the gate of the yard.
There was an intact glass bottle on the ground, standing neatly on the ground, but the glass bottle she had placed in the lock yesterday afternoon had disappeared.
Su Nan was so scared that he took a step back, staring at the glass bottle. He felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, and a chill slowly spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body.
It was unknown how long it had been before Su Nan came to her senses and blinked her eyes. Only then did she realize that she had been crying for a long time.
Her first instinct was correct; someone was following her, and that person already knew she lived here alone.
Otherwise, that person would not have the courage to blatantly change the position of the glass bottle just to tell Su Nan that he or she exists.
Who was it? Someone she knew? But she had only just moved to Wutong Street and hadn't been working at the photo studio long, so she didn't know many people. After thinking about it, she couldn't guess who it was.
Su Nan did suspect Xia Congjie because he had previously sneaked around the photo studio door and watched which direction she was going after get off work.
But during this period of time, he usually gets out of get off work earlier than her, so it should be impossible for him to follow her.
A stranger, perhaps? She considered herself quite pretty, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone was attracted to her.
No, she had to call the police. If this continued, who knew what the stalker would do.
Zhou Rang, why haven’t you come back yet? She is so scared.
Thinking of this, Su Nan quickly washed up, went back to the room to get his bag, his eyes fell on the bedside table, after pondering for a moment, he opened the drawer and stuffed the note with Zhou Rang's address into his bag.
After doing all this, Su Nan was ready to go out. When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he paused, took a deep breath, kicked the glass bottle open with his foot, and then dared to open the door.
After locking the gate, Su Nan glanced at Wutong Street where only a few people were, swallowed his saliva, and didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast. He strode directly towards the Public Security Bureau.
The Public Security Bureau was deserted in the morning. Only a few uniformed policemen were sitting at their seats eating their breakfast, and a few were looking through documents.
As Su Nan walked into the Public Security Bureau, an enticing smell of food wafted into her nose, making her eyes red immediately and a strong feeling of grievance surged in her heart.
At this time, a male police officer noticed Su Nan, who had entered the room alone, and stepped forward to ask, "Comrade, are you okay?"
Hearing this, Su Nan raised his head and looked at the male policeman. After seeing his concerned expression, he couldn't help but sit down on the chair in the reception room and started talking.
Why did that pervert target her? She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he following her?
There must be something wrong, woo woo woo.
The male policeman saw that the pretty girl in front of him started crying after he asked just one question. He just stood there in a daze, bent down and spoke to comfort her, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Hey, comrade, what's wrong with you? Tell us what happened, and we will definitely take care of it for you."
While shedding tears, Su Nan looked up at the bewildered male policeman and wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth she burst into tears.
"Hey, I didn't bully you." The male policeman was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. He straightened up and looked at his colleagues who were looking at him.
The others also noticed the situation here and gathered around with frowns on their faces.
"What's wrong?"
"Did someone bully you?"
"Go get some tissues! Can't you see the girl is crying like this?"
After a long while, Su Nan finally recovered from her sadness. She took the tissue handed to her by a female police officer, wiped her tears, and whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You can tell us what happened." The female police officer gently reached out and patted Su Nan's shoulder.
Su Nan raised his head and looked at the upright police comrades in uniform surrounding him, and his heart felt warm and safe.
So Su Nan took a deep breath and told him what happened this morning, as well as her guesses and suspicions over the past period of time.
