He Tang ran out of the alley, panting heavily. In order to shake off the person behind her, she almost didn't stop for a moment.
It was only when she could run no more that she turned around.
Behind her, it was silent and empty.
The alley where something had happened was already far behind her.
Her steps gradually slowed down.
All she could hear was the thumping sound of her heartbeat.
Before long, her steps came to a halt. When she turned her head again, even she was unsure of what the situation in the alley would be like now.
-
That whole night, He Tang barely got any sleep.
Every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was Zhang Qian fighting with someone in the alley.
The more she tried to chase such scenes out of her mind, the more they replayed over and over.
It wasn't until dawn broke that she finally fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon.
