After cleaning up every trace of Wu Xin's death, the two returned to Chen Xi's home and checked their plan one more time. Only then did they relax and enjoy their last day in Tianhai City.
Night quietly fell over Tianhai City. Neon lights of every color flickered along the streets, weaving an invisible web that swallowed the hurried passersby.
"Takoyaki, twelve yuan a box~"
"Fresh, tender grilled squid!"
The food stall owners called out their wares. As time passed, the commercial street grew so crowded it was impossible to move.
Lin Yue walked along the packed street. The chill that Shadow Dweller gave off without meaning to made passersby instinctively steer clear of her.
She turned to look beside her, only to find that the black-haired girl had disappeared.
Lin Yue stopped helplessly, then turned around.
Just as she expected, Chen Xi was following behind her with an uncomfortable look on her face.
The black-haired girl had a dark red bow in her hair and wore a simple black dress. She had a cool, understated beauty that was hard to describe.
If you ignored her flustered expression, she certainly had bright eyes and pearly teeth.
"What's wrong? Not used to it?" Lin Yue tilted her head and looked her over, teasing her. "Or have you been a thief and wound up on the wanted list?"
Chen Xi glared at her after that string of personal attacks, then turned her face away.
"I can't be bothered with you..." she muttered.

The two walked in silence to a quiet corner of the street. After finally spotting an empty bench, Chen Xi strode over without a shred of decorum and plopped down.
Lin Yue sat at the other end
