As soon as she stepped out of the subway station, Xu Jingjia felt that the oncoming wind was a little strong, and it was even more chilly than usual.

Xu Jingjia then thought that it had been nearly three months since the start of school, and a semester was about to end, and winter was indeed almost the time. In recent years, the winter in Hong Kong has been in vain, and every year it is only a few days of going through the motions, but this year seems to be different.

It was a Monday, and Hui Ching-ka's class schedule included an elective course on "Business Data Storage and Data Collection Skills", with a three-hour lecture and a one-hour lab class in tandem. There is only one session every other week, but unfortunately this day's lab class encountered technical problems, and the instructor also wanted to use this class to introduce a new data analysis software and how to use the software. As a result, it was already past 11 p.m. when class ended.

The end time of this course is not so regular. Sometimes, depending on the mood of the professor and the pace of teaching, there are difficult or complex parts of statistics and programming that are difficult to understand or complicated, and there are also situations like today. However, in the case of Level 2 courses, there may be times when classes related to programming end early. The time on the class schedule is very chicken, let's put the lectures and tutorials together, the class days are less, but it is inevitable that the class will end very late. Separate the class days of lectures and tutorials, and it is inevitable that you will sacrifice tutoring classes when you work overtime.

Tired, but not very tired.

Because just now during the lecture, Xu Jingjia accidentally slept for half an hour. It was Xu Jingjia who only rushed back to school after work and ate a little bit of food, and at this time the cold wind kept coming, which made Xu Jingjia's hunger even stronger. So, Xu Jingjia's pace couldn't help but be a little faster. At the same time, there is no boundary thinking about the group's report.

The deadline for submission of the Panel's report was less than two weeks away. This subject was finally assigned by the tutor, and I found two group members who I didn't know and majored in other subjects, but I don't know why, she contacted them many times through what she was doing, but the other party just ignored her. finally met in class, and the other party reluctantly told her a few words to perfunctory her, but she couldn't always get to the point.

The lock-up of work, the tests and homework of various subjects occupy all of Xu Jingjia's spare time, and she really can't spare more time to deal with these personnel issues.

Xu Jingjia is not very courageous, and she is afraid of walking alone at night. I don't know whether to worry or rejoice, since leaving the subway station, there is a person walking behind her not far away.

As soon as she left the subway station, Xu Jingjia felt cold, and her pace was faster, but when she thought about things, her pace slowed down. In this way, the distance between the two becomes a little abrupt.

Walking to the end of the rest park outside the subway station, Xu Jingjia bypassed the stairs of a private housing estate and came to the main road to wait for the traffic light. It was close to the wee hours of the morning, perhaps because of the cold, and there were fewer pedestrians than usual.

While waiting for the traffic light, the man stopped not far from Xu Jingjia's side. Xu Jingjia's breathing subconsciously became more cautious, slowing down with the slow sound of the red light. Xu Jingjia felt a little suspicious, and faintly felt that something was wrong with the other party, and seemed to be secretly observing her.

Xu Jingjia didn't dare to look at the other party squarely, and only quietly observed the other party's body characteristics and clothing from the corner of her eye.

The man was about the same size as Xu Jingjia, and his figure was not as thin as the current Hong Kong boys, but he was not fat either. He wears a light-colored short-sleeved shirt with a well-defined forearm that is exposed......

At this time, the sound of the traffic light turned fast, and Xu Jingjia instantly retracted her gaze, but did not start immediately. Xu Jingjia secretly counted three times in his heart before moving forward, but the other party started earlier than Xu Jingjia, and crossed the pavement in front of Xu Jingjia in less than a few steps.

After crossing the road, there is a fork in the road. When crossing the road, Xu Jingjia deliberately slowed down, and when she saw the other party cross her, she walked forward to the right side of the fork in the road. Xu Jingjia was still not at ease, and saw that the left side of the fork road was leaning on the more open road, so he walked out of the sidewalk on the left, and reached a position where the other party was no longer visible, and decided to stand in place and wait for a while.

Yes, the direction of Xu Jingjia's return home is also on the right side of the fork road.

Xu Jingjia calmed down and exhaled, feeling that she had overreacted. I don't know if Xu Jingjia is too careful, or occasionally she can always see familiar faces waiting on her way home from school. Of course, sometimes she can still tell if the face is something she knows or doesn't recognize.

After waiting for a while, Xu Jingjia felt that the time was almost up, and she also felt that she was really hungry, so she returned to the intersection of the fork in the road to look around, and saw that the other party was gone, so Xu Jingjia relieved her heart and walked to the right side of the fork road.

Xu Jingjia's home is not far from the subway station, less than 15 minutes away, and the whole road is close to the road, even if there are still scattered pedestrians and cars passing by every three or two minutes in the middle of the night.

The crisis was lifted, and Xu Jingjia's thoughts inevitably returned to the matter reported by the group. This semester, another compulsory course, "Data Structures and Algorithms", also had a group report to be submitted, and the tutor expected that the students would need to form a group of three to five people, and Xu Jingjia ended up in an embarrassing situation where she could not find a group to take in.

When the group was decided, there were not many girls in the class, and all the places in the group were boys. Xu Jingjia also tried to talk to them, but the other party either thought that Xu Jingjia was hooking up with him, or thought that Xu Jingjia was someone who wanted to take a free ride and enjoy it.

It was rare to find a classmate who wanted to cooperate with Xu Jingjia, but when they were discussing the division of labor, there were many boys singing Brother Kun (Wu Yekun) song behind them: "It turns out that she doesn't love me enough, so I sit in the back seat ......" sang so that the other party was embarrassed, dispelled the idea of cooperating with Xu Jingjia, and made another plan.

A six-month suspension doesn't seem to make things better, and avoiding old acquaintances from associate degrees according to course selection guidelines doesn't help. On the contrary, Xu Jingjia not only suffered the loss of not following the course selection guidelines and worked harder in her schoolwork, but also made Xu Jingjia more deeply realize that some things are affecting the people around her in a way that she doesn't know.

Thinking about it, Xu Jingjia has already walked almost a third of the way. Her gaze casually swept across the street to the darkly lit kindergarten.

In the dark of night, I saw a person standing among the bicycles parked outside the gate of the park, looking at her for a moment.

It was the person Xu Jingjia wanted to avoid just now.

Xu Jingjia's heart was beating wildly.

She turned her face away as if nothing had happened, but her heartbeat became more and more unstoppable.

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......

In fright, her feet seemed to be disobedient, so Xu Jingjia could only freeze in place.

Xu Jingjia told herself in her heart: Run! Wherever you go, just run......

After thinking about it, I thought, no, no, no, I can't let him know where I live......

When she came back to her senses, Xu Jingjia found that she had returned to the subway station. Xu Jingjia didn't know how she got back to the subway station, but she remembered that she called home in a panic.

For the first time, Xu Jingjia felt that the subway station and her home were less than 15 minutes away, which was a long time.

Xu Jingjia's father was very fast, and it only took about ten minutes to arrive at the subway station.

There are three routes to and from the subway station from Xu Jingjia's home, two of which are more convenient, but there is no one to be seen at night, and Xu Jingjia usually does not walk alone. Xu Jingjia and her father stepped on another road, climbing up the long staircase outside the subway station, and the two talked about the people they had just met.

As Dad listened, his face was heavy and he became more and more displeased.

Accompanied by her father, Xu Jingjia's heart gradually returned to its original place. Because as long as you have walked through this long staircase, you will only have a third of the way back to your home, and you will have already bypassed the place where you have just met the person. There are also a lot of residential estates that the road leads to just now, and the other party may not be able to guess where Xu Jingjia is going.

When she reached the top, Xu Jingjia was out of breath and turned to look at her father who was walking behind her. Xu Jingjia's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at the street again, confirming that she was not wrong before turning around just now.

I saw a person standing under the street lamp across the street, looking in the direction she was.

By the light of the street lamp, Xu Jingjia saw clearly that it was a face she had seen before, but she couldn't call out her name. All the physical characteristics are all different from the person just now.

The man seemed to be as unexpected, as Xu Jingjia. He didn't seem to expect that there would be another person standing next to Xu Jingjia.

Perhaps because she was no longer alone, Xu Jingjia was not as panicked as before. Xu Jingjia looked at the man blankly, tilted his head in the direction where his father was standing, and said blankly, "That person...... It seems like the person who followed me just now......

When Dad heard this, he ran forward in three steps and two steps, and the man immediately ran along the pavement to the more secluded road behind.

Xu Jingjia felt her father's anger, looked at the person's low stature, and was afraid that something would happen if she really started to do it, so she grabbed her father and didn't let her father follow up.

Seeing that the other party quickly disappeared around the corner of the street, Xu Jingjia couldn't help but think of the last time.

After her father picked her up at the subway station, the two returned home via the Kwai Hing shopping mall. When she was crossing the road in the bus terminal, the person who had been following her before ran from an unknown direction and hit her head-on. When her father stabilized her unsteadily, the man was long gone.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingjia only felt that the tiredness in her heart became more and more obvious. She reached out and stroked her eyebrows, and said, "There are still some strange people in this neighborhood as before."
