Hu Duyu and Yu Pan'an said goodbye and went to find the rest of the band, while Yu Pan'an went out of the bar alone, walking on the road a little unsteadily.

Because she was greedy for the evening breeze of the summer night, she did not take a taxi, but walked slowly in the direction of home. It was late, but the street lights were still on, which made her not afraid of the dark.

With what Hu Duyu said just now still playing in his mind, Yu Panan knew that he was not as free and easy as he appeared.

Regarding Ji Zhiheng, she felt very regretful.

It's a pity.

If she can go back to that time, she must ask Ji Zhiheng why he ignored her, and she must also defend herself.

It's a pity that there has never been an ifs in this world, those regretful things have become a foregone conclusion, and it is futile to say anything. Therefore, she didn't deliberately pretend to be free, but the matter has come to this point, and it will feel better to be free.

After walking forward for a while, when she came to a corner, the thoughts that were entrenched in Yu Pan'an's mind suddenly stopped—because she felt that someone seemed to be following her behind her, and her instinctive vigilance gave her no time to think about anything else. She didn't dare to look back, so she had to use stop-and-go to determine whether it was an illusion or really being followed. Unfortunately, as long as she walked, the footsteps behind her followed her. As soon as she stopped, there was silence behind her.

She must indeed have been tailgated.

At this time, it was not far from Yu Pan'an's residence, and there were no taxis parked around, so she quickened her pace, thinking about getting home. But the people behind her also accelerated with her, which made her feel creepy, but she could only pretend not to be aware, so as not to startle the snake.

The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, scaring Yu Pan'an, who was already in a nervous state, into a cold sweat. She took out her phone to check the messages, but she didn't dare to slow down at all.

Seeing the name "Ji Zhiheng" on the screen, she suddenly felt a little relieved. But this peace of mind was quickly repelled by reason, and she knew that it was no longer what it used to be, and that he would not be there again when she was in danger. The person behind her could only be a stalker, not Ji Zhiheng.

He sent a message in reply to her refusal to sign a contract hours earlier. He said, "I'm sorry, I have a party today, so I didn't see your news until so late." Now that you've thought it through, I'm not embarrassed.

The tone is very polite and decent, but also very strange and distant.

Yu Panan continued to walk, typing and replying: Okay, rest early.

Ji Zhiheng: You haven't slept yet?

Yu Pan'an: I also had some drinks outside today, on the way home.

I don't know if it's because typing slowed down her walking speed, Yu Pan'an felt that the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. She didn't dare to continue typing, and sent Ji Zhiheng, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to speak now." He put away his phone.

She could feel the phone vibrating even after it was in her pocket, but she didn't dare to look at it, just walking.

Finally, she turned into the neighborhood and went upstairs as fast as she could. After taking out the key and opening the door, she habitually looked back, only to see a man poking his head out of the corner of the stairs halfway down the stairs to look at her.

This scene is like a thriller she's ever seen.

Intuitively, this should be the person who followed her just now, and she suddenly felt the urge to cry, but she also knew that now was not the time to cry, so she hurried into the house and closed the door heavily.

Less than half a minute after the door closed, a violent knock began to be heard outside the door. I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of disturbing her neighbors, and the knock on the door is strong and weak, intermittent.

Yu Panan tried to calm his emotions, resisted the urge to cry, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police, but at this time, Ji Zhiheng happened to call in.

She picked it up with trembling hands.

After the phone was connected, Ji Zhiheng did not speak immediately, but typed and asked her: Did I think too much, what happened to the inconvenience you just said?

The tears that she could not hold back suddenly burst into tears, just like when she was sad and not comforted, she could not hold back her tears, and when someone asked, "Are you okay?" she couldn't help crying.

Ji Zhiheng also heard her sobbing.

He typed again and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Panan also typed back: I was followed on the way home, and now that person has been knocking on the door outside, and I am going to call the police.

Ji Zhiheng asked her: How long has he been knocking, and has he brought anything with him?

Yu Pan'an recalled the moment when he saw him just now. She saw him poking his head out, and nothing else. She replied: I haven't knocked for a long time, and now I'm still knocking on and off. I don't know if he brought anything with him.

Ji Zhiheng: You set the call to speakerphone, and then take your phone to the bedroom.

Yu Panan did so.

Then, Ji Zhiheng shouted loudly, "Who the keeps knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and then disturbs the people Lao Tzu to call the police." ”

After he finished shouting this, the knocking on the door finally stopped.

Ji Zhiheng typed again and said: You don't see if he has something in his hand, in case he does, he may break the door directly if he knocks for a long time and is impatient, so let him feel that there is a man in the house.

"Thank you. Yu Pan'an whispered.

"You can call the police now. After that, there should be no problem. Ji Zhiheng seemed to want to say a few other words to comfort and comfort her, but probably felt that it would be too much to say comforting words, and finally ended the topic, "You rest early." ”

"Good. Before hanging up the phone, Yu Panan said again, "Thank you very much." ”

Ji Zhiheng said, "It's okay." He hung up.

Too many things happened on this day, and after calling the police, Yu Panan felt very tired, but there was no sleepiness left. She sent a message to Yu Zhi'an to roughly explain this matter, and hid the part that Ji Zhiheng helped to solve the siege. Yu Zhi'an, a night owl, hadn't slept yet, and immediately said: I'll pick you up and go home now.

Yu Pan'an replied: No need, I'll just go back by myself during the day tomorrow. I've called the police, and I'm sure I'll be fine tonight.

Seeing her say this, Yu Zhi'an didn't insist anymore.

This night, Yu Panan had insomnia until dawn. She sat by the window and watched the sky slowly shine through, not figuring out why she was losing sleep. Or rather, there were so many factors that she couldn't tell which one it was.

Days are always like this. When it's calm, it's like a pool of stagnant water, and if something happens, it won't stop one after another. Yu Pan'an closed his eyes lightly, and felt a pain in his temples.

What happens next?

No one can answer this question.

Life is made up of countless "nows", and the future can only be known in the present in the future. Whether it will be calm or turbulent will only be known if we go to the future in person.
