Chapter 1061

~5 min read 944 words

Haruno said with a hum.

The three of them, one man and two women, strolled through the commercial building.

Lin Ye was carrying the clothes the three of them had bought, looking a bit bulky.

"I'll go to the parking space first to put the clothes away. You two wait for me nearby for a while, I'll go to the car."

"Okay."

Haruno and Yukino both agreed. Given Lin Ye's current situation, it was indeed not suitable for him to continue accompanying them on their stroll.

Taking the keys, Lin Ye carried the bags toward the parking space.

However, not long after Lin Ye left, Yukino spoke up, "Sister, I'm going to the restroom."

"Sure!"

Haruno agreed directly, a smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, "Is it because Lin-kun bullied you just now..."

Yukino turned and left, not giving her sister a chance to finish.

"Hey, hey, what a pity. My younger sister is actually so cruel to me; it's just too sad."

In the corridor, only she was left.

Haruno thought for a moment, turned, and followed Lin Ye.

Her younger sister would probably need quite a bit of time, so she had to seize this time to spend it well with Lin Ye.

"Wait..."

Haruno saw that the elevator door had already closed.

Lin Ye had already taken this elevator down.

"A step too slow, I can only wait for the next elevator."

She waited, looking slightly anxious.

In less than half a minute.

Elevator No. 2 opened.

She walked into the elevator and pressed the floor for the underground parking garage.

As the elevator reached the underground parking garage.

Haruno walked out, "It's a bit cold."

As expected of an underground garage, the temperature is indeed lower than in most places.

She walked in, walking quickly in the direction she remembered.

Before long, she saw Lin Ye, but at this moment, Lin Ye's posture made her feel a bit strange.

It was as if he were looking at something.

After Lin Ye entered the underground parking garage by elevator, the incoming chill made him feel somewhat comfortable.

After the continuous strolling, his body was slightly heated.

With his footsteps on the concrete floor of the underground parking garage, Lin Ye moved step by step toward the direction of the parking space.

He felt that faint, attentive gaze, and the corner of his mouth curled into a faint arc.

Coming here specifically wasn't the key for putting away the clothes, but rather that he had noticed a certain existence's attention on him.

Previously, Lin Ye couldn't be sure, but now that this feeling was still there, he could be certain that the existence was targeting him, not the Yukinoshita sisters.

Then.

Come here and solve it.

Just right, there are few people here, suitable for taking action.

Lin Ye walked slowly to the car, used the key to open it, and put all the bags of clothes into the trunk.

'Click...'

The trunk closed.

Lin Ye turned and looked in the direction he felt the attentive gaze from.

"You can appear now."

"If you don't appear, I'm going back."

The other party was unwilling to take action in the mall, probably also considering the fact that there were many people.

And here, it should be suitable, right!

One second.

Five seconds.

Lin Ye still didn't see anything.

"Not coming out?"

He didn't see anything at all.

Lin Ye frowned. Could it be that this mysterious existence really didn't intend to show itself?

"I'm going back now! Goodbye."

Walking less than five steps toward the elevator entrance, Lin Ye saw that figure appear in the corridor he was passing through.

A cat.

A cat bathed in the dim shadows.

If it weren't for that pair of eyes reflecting luster, he really would have ignored it directly.

Is it an Eerie?

A cat tainted by an Eerie?

That's not bad either.

Solving it, it's just right to go back and continue accompanying Yukino.

Lin Ye sent a message to Yukino, saying he needed a while longer before going back, telling her not to wait and just to stroll around with her sister Haruno.

"Lin-kun,"

At this moment.

Toward the elevator entrance.

Haruno saw Lin Ye, raised a smile, and raised her hand to wave in greeting.

Lin Ye subconsciously looked toward Haruno and immediately raised his volume to shout, "Don't come over, go back quickly."

"Huh?"

Haruno was stunned, but her footsteps didn't stop. The next second, she saw a black shadow suddenly dart out and pounce toward her.

"Ah!"

Haruno instinctively screamed and dodged, her eyes closed, her right hand waving in an attempt to protect herself, and her whole body fell off-balance.

But when she reacted, she discovered that she had already fallen into a solid embrace.

It was Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had caught her in time.

Haruno immediately breathed a sigh of relief, feeling full of security.

"What was that just now?"

Just as she opened her mouth, Haruno realized that her position had changed a little bit.

This wasn't the position where she had encountered the attack earlier.

She scanned with her vision, but didn't see that black shadow.

Haruno subconsciously gripped Lin Ye's arm tightly; the solid touch and warm heat made her feel at ease, dispelling the chill and unease brought by the dim environment.

"A cat."

"A cat?"

Haruno was stunned.

A cat?

There's a cat in this underground parking garage?

Uh, many stray cats do indeed appear on this side of the parking garage, and in winter, they even lie on the engines of vehicles.

"Right."

"Then where did that cat go now?"
