Just as Hai Luwei came running, kiting the resident Mai Mingle like a runaway kite, the youth shot up from the ground. His movements were so clean and sharp that Hai Luwei felt a sudden surge of hope.
The next second, the youth turned and fled.
'...Where are you going?!'
'Weren't you so confident just a moment ago?'
Hai Luwei desperately wanted to scream his thoughts aloud, but he was using every ounce of strength just to flee and still couldn't shake off the relentless Mai Mingle. He was genuinely afraid that if he tried to speak, he'd end up biting his tongue off.
'Fine. If I can't shout, I'll just run right at him.'
The youth sprinted halfway across the square, then looked back. When he saw Hai Luwei kiting the resident Mai Mingle right behind him, he had the audacity to demand, "Why are you chasing me?"
A bitter taste filled Hai Luwei's mouth as he ran. 'The nerve! Weren't you the one looking for her in the first place?'
