Xu Jin stood behind the café counter, absentmindedly wiping a coffee cup while his mind remained occupied with one thing.
How am I supposed to leave work early...?
He had finally found a legitimate excuse to spend time with Chen, yet his plan had fallen apart before it even started.
He let out a quiet sigh.
Just then, something outside the window caught his attention.
A figure.
Someone dressed suspiciously from head to toe was lingering near the side of the café.
The person's face was completely hidden beneath a hood and mask, and they kept looking around as if making sure no one noticed them.
Xu Jin's eyes narrowed.
Suspicious.
Instead of alerting his owner, he quietly slipped out through the back door.
Keeping his footsteps silent, he circled around the building until he spotted the mysterious figure again.
The stranger had their back turned toward him.
Without giving them any chance to react—
Xu Jin lunged.
"Hey!"
The two crashed onto the ground with a loud thud.
