After receiving the notice, Gu Man did not have to go to school for the week. She would return to school after things calmed down.
Gu Man was just worried that she wouldn’t have the time to return Xiang Yin’s clothes and wanted to thank them in person.
Gu Man left.
This was the first time she had gone out alone since she arrived in this world.
Gu Man wanted to return the coat to him, but Xiang Yin said that he would pass by Zhengxian Road at four in the afternoon and asked her to wait for him at the dry cleaner.
At around three in the afternoon, Gu Man sent the clothes to the dry cleaner. While she was waiting, she could take a walk in the park beside her.
Cang River Park was a riverside park. The rapid Cang River flowed past, and there were sidewalks by the river. Usually, citizens ran, walked, and dated here. It was a lively place.
Although the Host had been in Han City for a few months, she had never been in the mood to get to know this city. Gu Rou had never brought her out either.
Her life was two points on a line, at school, and at home.
For the first time, Gu Man seriously admired the city in front of her.
Suddenly, a cute little boy walked past her, but she realized that there was a black fog above the child’s head.
It was a bad omen!
Gu Man was surprised. This was the first time she had discovered such an obvious omen in this world.
Gu Man knew that she had a special skill. When she deliberately focused her field of energy, she could see that others were surrounded by white or black fog. That was the luck that came with humans.
Ordinary people were either white or gray. Black ones were extremely rare. Black fog surrounding someone indicates that their lives would be in danger soon.
Gu Man usually wouldn’t easily mobilize her energy field. Firstly, it was extremely harmful to her body. Besides, if she saw bad luck on others, she couldn’t be indifferent. There will always be unlucky people every day, how much energy did she have to help all of them?
However, Gu Man did not understand. She had not mobilized her energy just now. How could she see the ominous signs on that child?
Could it be that it wanted her to save the little boy?
She could not watch such a cute child die. Gu Man decided to follow him.
The two women carried the little boy through the park and entered a beauty salon beside the park.
Gu Man hesitated over whether she should follow him in. She thought that nothing would happen to the little boy. She would wait at the door.
After a while, the little boy slipped out alone. As soon as he left the salon, he started running.
Gu Man immediately rushed forward to pull the little boy back. Just as she was about to squat down and hug him, the little boy opened his mouth and bit Gu Man’s hand. Gu Man’s hand loosened from the pain and the little boy ran away.
The trees and flowers beside the clubhouse were very lush. In the blink of an eye, Gu Man realized that the little boy had disappeared.
The corners of Gu Man’s eyes twitched and she had an ominous feeling. However, after looking around, she still did not see the little boy.
At this moment, the phone in Gu Man’s pocket rang. She took it out and saw that it was Xiang Yin calling.
Gu Man picked up the call. “I’m in a hurry now. I may have to retrieve the clothes later to return them to you. If you have something on, I’ll send it to your home on another day?”
Gu Man was already panting from running. She thought to herself that her body was really too weak!
Xiang Yin could hear the anxiety in Gu Man’s voice and quickly asked, “Did something happen over on your side?”
As Gu Man ran towards the park, she said, “A little boy ran out alone. I don’t know where he went. I’m looking for him now!”
Although Xiang Yin did not understand why Gu Man would chase after a child, he still decided to see what happened. “Where are you? We’ll go over now.”
Gu Man looked around. “I’m beside the Cang River Park. I’ll walk to the river in a while.”
After a while, Xiang Yin and Bai Yun ran over with puzzled expressions.
Bai Yun asked the question in her heart, “What happened? Why are you chasing a little boy?”
Gu Man thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know how to explain, but I have a feeling that the little boy is in danger.”
They probably wouldn’t believe her if she said that she saw the little boy was shrouded by an ominous sign, right?
To Gu Man’s surprise, Xiang Yin did not ask further and asked directly, “Where did the little boy disappear to?”
