Mandara Manor...
In the pitch blackness of the night, Long Lingli circled the garden over and over with a flashlight.
"Xiao Mei..."
Despite the loud voice, Xiao Mei did not respond at all.
Shen Yujie was following behind Long Lingli, panting and shouting, "Let's split up to search! I'll go left, you go right, that way we'll be more efficient!"
"Okay! Take the flashlight!" Long Lingli handed the flashlight to Shen Yujie and then rushed into the darkness.
Shen Yujie walked down the path on the left into the woods. The winter night was very quiet, there was no snow, but you could feel a bone-chilling cold. The fallen leaves underfoot crunched as she walked.
She knew that if Xiao Mei was deliberately hiding from her, she wouldn't be able to find her.
At this thought, she turned off the flashlight. With no light, everything around plunged into darkness. She was a girl too, and putting herself in Xiao Mei's shoes, it wasn't hard to speculate on her mental state.
