She followed Li Si back obediently. The man, seeing she was heading back to the shop, felt reassured. Humming a little tune, he turned and left.
Li Si kept a close eye on the man's movements. When she was certain he had really gone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the woman's lifeless expression, she gave her a nudge and asked, "You really aren't going to be with him anymore?"
She nodded. Li Si, frustrated by her lack of decisiveness, tried to persuade her, "Since you're already done with him, what's there to be afraid of? If he tries this again, come up with a plan! Worst case, change jobs, make it so he can't find you!"
The woman shook her head bitterly, combing her messy hair with her fingers, revealing a fair and delicate face. She's actually quite pretty—that was Li Si's first impression—but her eyes lacked any vitality, like a lifeless pool of stagnant water.
"Thank you!" Her voice was soft, but melodious.
