The two spent half a day in the space eating wild fruits, feeling energized before they leisurely made their exit, ready to embark on their true nocturnal adventures.
Tonight's objectives were twofold: first, to stash away the fabrics, and then to wander around the Lower Left District they resided in, to check for any traces of Yuwen Luanfei.
However, just as they emerged from the space, they heard a commotion from the alley. Soon after, their gate was being pounded upon.
Voices thundered from outside: "Night inspection, night inspection! Everyone, come to the doorway!"
Bai Junjun was taken aback, still unable to react when the door was kicked open.
Li Wenli, quick as a flash, pulled Bai Junjun into his arms, his ponytail also falling down in the process.
In that moment, their bodies pressed close together; to the guards' eyes, the couple seemed deep in passionate embrace.
