Chapter 86 - Avoid Getting Caught

Yu Yingyi once again trailed behind Jia Yi and Feng Mian, but it was getting harder to do so since they were walking around in the parts they've already been to. She was starting to attract more attention to herself since there were people who've seen her already.

Yingyi realized she was going to have to give up her disguise soon and reveal herself, although changing her appearance helped, her facial features could be recognized anywhere.

Moreover, Feng Mian and Jia Yi were starting to realize there was someone following behind them, they would glance behind occasionally and Yingyi would hide.

"Feng Mian, is it just me that is feeling like someone is following us?" asked Jia Yi, her expression full of wariness.

Feng Mian nodded, "It does, but let's assume that the person who's tailing us doesn't know that we know they're following us, we'll find a way to catch them later."

"Alright, but where should we go? There aren't many places that bring entertainment this city is almost full of merchant shops only," said Jia Yi.

"Hmm," Feng Mian put her hand on her chin, "Perhaps we could head to the plaza, it's more open there so we can see whoever is following us clearly."

Jia Yi nodded her head in agreement. Honestly, she felt a bit afraid and anxious that someone was following them. It could be someone dangerous after all and she wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Song Feng Mian who saw the worry in Jia Yi's eyes lightly smiled, a worried face really didn't suit her, her expression should only be filled with joy.

Feng Mian took Jia Yi's hand and lightly squeezed them, reassuring her, "It's okay, I'm here with you. Even though I have been stuck in my room my entire life, that didn't mean I can't defend us."

Instantly, the worry and anxiousness Jia Yi was feeling were drained from her body. She was now worried about something else. If this was how much Feng Mian affected her, how was she going to act once they got together? Would she be blushing every day? Except such thoughts shouldn't be in her mind yet, they needed to get together first.

Song Feng Mian glanced down to see a grey cloudy with light rain above Jia Yi's head. She was confused why Jia Yi was suddenly sad, but she didn't ask in case it was something personal.

Except she felt something different swell up inside her, it was the urge to ask Jia Yi what was wrong and wanted to make her happy. She didn't know why she was feeling like this, this didn't happen when Yingyi was sad, so why was it different with Jia YI?

She wanted to think about it more but she had something else to worry about, it was the person who was trailing them.

Yu Yingyi easily figured out what they were doing, they were trying to lead her into the plaza and catch her there. Naturally, Yingyi thought of a counter to their plan.

And it was to "stumble" upon them and act like it was a coincidence that they met at the plaza.

Yu Yingyi followed them until they were near the plaza. Since she's been here multiple times to see if it was the right place to hold the event, she knew the shortcut into the plaza while the other two were going to take the long route.

As she speed-walked through the alleyway, she took off the cloak and left it on the ground.

"Sorry Liya, I promise to buy you another cloak when I have the chance."

Yu Yingyi quickly pulled out the hairpins that tied her hair and let her black and brownish long hair drop to her sides. Once she entered the plaza, everyone was going to recognize her.

She could only hope they were going to listen when she told them to leave her alone.

Once Yu Yingyi made it out, countless glances made it her way, some people were about to head towards her, but stopped when Yu Yingyi held out her hand and shook her head.

The citizens knew what Yingyi meant and backed off, they didn't want to invade her personal space when she didn't give them consent to.

This made Yingyi smile, she was happy when the citizens listened instead of ignoring her message, the people in her past life were exactly the opposite. Just thinking of them made her stomach twirl.

Yingyi's eyes scanned the plaza, searching for Feng Mian and Jia Yi to arrive. But they weren't here yet, Yu Yingyi took this chance to sit at a nearby bench and gaze at the unique fountain in front of her.

"Wang Shu's designs are truly extraordinary," Yu Yingyi muttered, her eyes sparkling in admiration.

Not before long, the citizens in front of her started heading in another direction.

Yu Yingyi figured out they arrived by the loud murmurs that came from the crowd.

"Isn't that the twin sister of the princess?"

"She's gorgeous!"

"Look! That's Jia Yi! The daughter of Jia Xin Yi!"

Yingyi could tell they were all in awe by the tone of their voices, she was too. Song Feng Mian and Jia Yi together had a large bright yellow sparkling aura around them.

Yingyi stared at them in disbelief, were they seriously not a couple?

She was about to turn away from them when she locked eyes with Feng Mian. Yingyi decided to smile and wave at them and Feng Mian waved back in reply.

Yu Yingyi didn't want them to come over since she wanted their interaction to be smooth, but her entire plan crumbled when a sudden voice appeared that nearly made Yingyi have a heart attack.

"Yingyi! I didn't think you were going to be here!" Jia Yi exclaimed in a cheerful tone, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Yu Yingyi let out a sigh to calm her down, she could more or less tell why Jia Yi was this excited. After all, she basically spent the entire morning with Feng Mian.

"Hello to you too, Jia Yi. What're you doing here at the plaza with Feng Mian?" asked Yingyi.

"Ah, that's because..." Before Jia Yi continued, she looked around before leaning into Yinyi's ear, "That's because someone was following us, we came here to catch them, but they don't seem to be here anymore."

Yu Yingyi felt cold sweat drip down from the back of her neck, she let out a chuckle, "That's surprising! Who would follow you?"

"I don't know, I was scared but Feng Mian being there with me made me feel safer," said Jia Yi, turning shy.

Yu Yingyi smirked, "You really love Feng Mian do you?"

"Nope!"

"Really?"

"... I do love her."

"How cute."
