They are not human! (From chapter 61)

With a mask and hat, Wen Qing's face was obscured, but his figure remained unchanged. The loose clothing made him appear even more slender, almost like a girl.

Upon seeing the person wrapped up tightly, resembling Wen Qing, Zhou Zhou and Oz immediately fixed their gazes on him, scrutinizing closely.

Their gazes were almost tangible.

Wen Qing felt their stares, his eyelashes trembling with anxiety, not daring to look up.

He lowered his eyes, staring at his toes, and nudged Jiang Yan's arm, quickly saying, "Let's go."

Wen Qing's heart raced, terrified that Oz and Zhou Zhou might suddenly rush over. Besides, Jiang Yan was still injured.

Jiang Yan's expression remained unchanged as he lazily surveyed the surroundings, saying in a low voice, "There's no other pavilion around except the one they're standing by."

Wen Qing lowered his voice, "Then let's go back."

Given Zhou Zhou and Oz's abilities, they might possess the kind of mind-controlling items Jiang Yan mentioned earlier. They might also have defensive items, rendering his own items useless.

Wen Qing raised his hand, grabbing Jiang Yan's arm, intending to walk back.

The next second, Jiang Yan grabbed his hand in return, lowering his head and speaking with a smile, "Meng Meng, they haven't recognized you yet."

"If we run now, it will definitely seem suspicious."

"Act natural."

After saying that, Jiang Yan hooked his arm around Wen Qing's shoulder and took a step forward.

Wen Qing's eyelid twitched, thinking that Jiang Yan was right. Wrapped up like this, Zhou Zhou and Oz surely couldn't recognize him.

He pinched his palm and slowly followed Jiang Yan's pace.

They took a synchronized step forward.

Immediately, Jiang Yan chuckled, "Oh dear, they're coming over."

Wen Qing turned his head to look at him, anxiety welling up and misting his eyes. He couldn't control his body.

Jiang Yan simply stopped walking, no longer pressuring Wen Qing. Instead, he tightened his arm around Wen Qing's shoulder, smiling, "Lean on me."

"Like an ordinary couple."

Wen Qing stiffly shifted and slowly leaned against Jiang Yan. This time, there were no issues.

But the synchronized step earlier successfully attracted Zhou Zhou and Oz's attention, and they walked straight over.

Noticing their scrutinizing expressions, Jiang Yan smirked, raising his voice slightly, "Don't be shy."

"They have their own problems to deal with. Who cares about us being in love?"

Wen Qing was momentarily stunned before realizing these words were meant for Zhou Zhou and Oz.

He pursed his lips, catching a glimpse of Oz and Zhou Zhou crossing the road towards them.

Wen Qing mumbled a response, lowering his head and burying his face in Jiang Yan's chest.

He was so nervous that he could hear his heart pounding on the road.

Jiang Yan chuckled, lifting his hand to stroke Wen Qing's soft hair, "Don't act coy."

As he spoke, a faint sweet scent lingered at his fingertips.

Jiang Yan's nostrils flared, and he paused.
