I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 187 Tracking

Kanster, who was hiding in the dark, saw Qi Yan's back disappear from his sight, and turned around and left the Mecha Manufacturing Department.

But he didn't walk far before he was stopped by Qi Yan.

"Let's talk." Qi Yan said.

Kanster subconsciously turned around and was about to leave, but just as he took a step, he abruptly took it back.

Then he squeezed out a word stiffly: "Okay."

-

In the pavilion at the school gate, Qi Yan estimated the time Zoe would come over, then looked at Canster: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Before this, Qi Yan always thought that Kanster went to the Pharmacy Department to find Lanxi, until Huo Chuan mentioned it inadvertently yesterday.

Qi Yan only then realized that in the few days after he came back from Sirius, Canster came to the villa to look for him many times.

Huo Chuan blocked him several times with various reasons. Later, when Kanster came, he didn't knock on the door. He just stood outside the door for a while and then left.

Huo Chuan had bumped into him a few times by accident. If it were in the past, even if he didn't like the way Kanster looked at Qi Yan, he would still invite him in to sit down.

But after knowing that Qi Yan was a mermaid, Huo Chuan thought everyone he saw had ill intentions, so it was fine for Kanster to just stand there.

If he insisted on seeing Qi Yan, Huo Chuan might chase him away with a broom.

After hearing what Huo Chuan said, Qi Yan was surprised, but when she thought about how persistent Canster was in insisting on apologizing to the "little mermaid", it didn't seem strange anymore.

If he was in the Planting Department before, he could still say that he was going to find Lanxi, but at this point, there was no one in the Mecha Manufacturing Department.

What's more, the place they came out from was Ryan's personal manufacturing room, and usually no one else would come here.

Kanster pursed his lips, as if he was preparing himself mentally.

After a pause, he said, "I heard that you were injured in Sirius."

Huo Chuan used this reason to reject Kanster in the beginning.

Qi Yan subconsciously glanced at his arm and said nonchalantly, "You're talking about this. It's a minor injury and has healed a long time ago. Is this why you came to me?"

Kanster nodded: "Yeah."

Qi Yan was a little surprised, firstly because of Kanster's frankness, and secondly because apart from the previous meeting in the villa, they had not even had a formal introduction.

It’s not enough to call them friends, but calling them relatives seems a bit too strange.

But the other party was at least expressing concern for her. Regardless of whether it was because of Li Jia or not, Qi Yan felt that she should formally thank him for showing kindness to this "brother" whom she had never met.

So he smiled and said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, I am all right now."

After hearing his thanks, Kanster's cheeks turned red and he looked a little embarrassed.

But after he opened his mouth, he lost his previous restraint and became much more relaxed, appearing less stiff.

In fact, if he didn't like Lanxi, Qi Yan would actually want to get closer to him. After all, he and Lijia are related by blood, and he can be considered as Qi Yan's nominal brother.

Thinking of this, Qi Yan took the initiative to say: "Come to think of it, we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet. My name is Qi Yan, and I heard about you from my father."

Hearing this, Kanster's expression became visibly tense.

Qi Yan continued, "Strictly speaking, I should call you brother."

"Yeah." Kanster's ears turned red, and then he called out solemnly, "Xiao Yan."

Seeing him so serious, Qi Yan didn't know how to respond.

So I had to change the subject: "I'm getting ready to go home now, how about you?"

"Yeah." Kanster nodded reflexively again, and it seemed that he didn't hear what Qi Yan said at all.

However, he immediately came back to his senses and said seriously: "I will take the warrior test again this month, and I will definitely pass it."

His promise-like tone made Qi Yan stunned, and she subconsciously said, "Come on."

Kanster didn't say anything else. He just looked at him deeply and left.

Qi Yan was a little confused. It seemed like this conversation brought them closer, but it also seemed like it didn't.

However, now that he has been formally introduced, I will just let him go from now on.

Standing up, Qi Yan prepared to walk towards the school gate.

However, at this moment, the terminal on his wrist suddenly rang. It was a video message from Zoe.

As soon as Qi Yan answered the phone, Zoe's voice came from the other end: "Yanyan, please stay in school for a while. I have something going on here, so I might be late. Don't run around."

Qi Yan wanted to tell him that she could ask the butler to pick him up, and it didn't matter if he didn't come, but Zoe hung up the phone before he could say anything.

Seeing how hurried he was, Qi Yan felt a little worried.

After closing the terminal, Qi Yan looked up and happened to see Lin Che walking out of the school in a hurry.

Ever since Sirius came back, Qi Yan has not found a suitable opportunity to get close to Lin Che again.

Seeing that the other party's expression was serious, even a little cold, Qi Yan followed him for some unknown reason.

Lin Che walked very fast, and sometimes Qi Yan had to jog to keep up with him. He was afraid of losing him, so he didn't dare to go too far away.

After all, this was his first time tracking someone in his life, and his actions were full of loopholes. Fortunately, Lin Che seemed to be preoccupied with something and didn't notice.

It was hard to tell how long we walked. By this time, it was already dark and the wide streets gradually turned into small alleys.

Qi Yan followed him through many twists and turns, not knowing where they were. Seeing that the surrounding environment was getting worse and worse, he began to hesitate.

There are shops lining both sides of the alley, and the whole alley is brightly lit, looking a bit like the red-light district in TV dramas.

This place is a mixed crowd, and passers-by or people in shops all look at Qi Yan when they see her.

As more and more eyes were focused on her, Qi Yan suddenly realized that it was a bit inconsiderate of her to follow Lin Che so rashly.

Just when he was considering whether to give up, Lin Che suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Qi Yan quickly dodged and hid in an alley.

Lin Che looked around and suddenly quickened his pace.

Qi Yan was about to follow, but at this moment, his mouth was covered by someone and his body was restrained.

Qi Yan was startled and kicked backwards, causing Chou Chou to fly out at the same time.

The man behind him hissed, "What the hell?"

After hearing the voice, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and stopped the action of counterattacking.

He turned around and saw Shen Yi grabbing Chou Chou with one hand, raising his eyebrows and looking a little disgusted.

At this time, Shen Yi was wearing a black jacket, black tights and black high boots, with metal chains hanging around his neck and waist.

He looks just like those non-mainstream teenagers in his previous life, but this outfit somehow matches his personality.

"Shen..."

"Shh!" Qi Yan had just said one word when Shen Yi's expression suddenly changed. He then pressed his shoulders and pushed him into the alley.

He turned his back to the alley entrance, completely blocking Qi Yan, and glanced sideways, alertly looking behind him.
