Silent all the way into the small alley, Xu Chuning reached her destination.
The surroundings were pitch-black, and the alley was both narrow and long.
From the moment he stepped into the alley, Shen Yubai's furrowed brows had never relaxed. He had been here before with Shen Sinian, but that was during daylight and they had not ventured far into the alley, only waiting outside. He didn't know that it would be so dark here at night, the alley so narrow that if someone came from the opposite direction, they would have to sidestep to pass through smoothly.
There were streetlights high up in the alley, but they were spaced far apart, and some had broken down long ago.
The faint light seeping out from the densely packed houses was absolutely incapable of illuminating the path.
He looked around when the person beside him suddenly spoke, her pleasant voice entering his ears, "Shen Yubai."
Shen Yubai turned his gaze sideways, his eyes slightly moving, "What?"
