"Hmm? Fang Yue? That's impossible. You must be mistaken. He can't possibly be here."
Wen Lan started, then looked in the direction Nu was pointing. By that time, however, Fang Yue had already disappeared into an alley up ahead.
When she didn't see Fang Yue, Wen Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly fortunate.
'Of course. There's no way Fang Yue could have come here.'
'Nu must have been mistaken.'
Last night, after hearing what her Third Grand-Uncle had said, she hadn't believed that *that* Fang Yue could be the same one she knew.
But a seed of doubt had taken root, and the worry had kept her on edge all night.
She had just started to calm down, but Nu's words had her genuinely believing for a moment that Fang Yue was really here.
'Thank goodness I didn't see him.'
'Otherwise, I would have had to wonder if the Fang Yue my Third Grand-Uncle spoke of was truly the one I know.'
"I really did see him! Lan, come on! If we hurry, we can still catch him."
