Source text - English Pei Ying stopped in her steps.
That man was still wearing a black coat and white sneakers. Under his eyes, there were very obvious dark circles.
Pei Ying stood still for several seconds before turning and walking in the opposite direction. And, as expected, the man under the tree followed her.
The sky was still lit and she was on a large and busy street, so Pei Ying felt that he wouldn’t dare act recklessly. With her injured leg, she slowly walked forward.
There was a local police station not too far away. She really wanted to see if this person would follow her all the way there.
After making a turn at the corner, Pei Ying could see the sign for the police station. She usually passed by the place without much care, but right now, that dark blue sign really calmed her down quite a bit.
The man followed her up to the intersection before stopping. Pei Ying didn’t dare to turn around and just quickly hurried into the police station. The officer at the entrance stopped her and asked her reason for coming. After explaining her situation, the officer brought her inside.
Inside, there were several officers working. When they heard she wanted to file a report, they had her take a seat.
“What would you like to report?” the officer across from her asked.
Pei Ying answered, “There’s a stranger following me. It’s already been three days. Every day, when I get off work and head home, he’s standing near the entrance of my apartment compound. Then he follows me all the way to my building.”
“He’s just following you? Did he do anything do you?”
“No, but this is already really quite frightening. He was even following me just now.”
The officer looked at her and said, “If that’s all there is, we can’t file a report.”
Pei Ying frowned. “Then what does it take to file a report? Should I wait until he does something more to me?”
“Miss, please don’t be upset. I understand your feelings, but we also have to follow the rules and regulations.”
Pei Ying slightly pursed her lips. In a slightly calmer tone, she said, “Then what should I do now? Just let him keep following me? I don’t even dare to go back home right now.”
The officer responded, “Currently, in these types of situations, we can only increase the patrols in the area. If we see the man you’re talking about, we’ll be sure to warn and inform him.”
Hearing these words, Pei Ying felt slightly discouraged. The officer across from her examined her for a moment, and then suddenly said, “You’re a celebrity, right? Named Pei Ying, I believe?”
“…Yes.” Pei Ying wasn’t sure how to feel. Who’d have thought that there’d be a day when the police recognized her?
“If that’s the case, could the person following you be a paparazzi?”
Pei Ying shook her head. She’d considered the possibility previously, but this person didn’t carry any camera equipment, and he never tried to hide his presence as he waited for her. No matter how she thought about it, he couldn’t be a paparazzi. She explained her thoughts to the officer, who asked again, “Then do you think they might be an extreme fan?”
Pei Ying didn’t really know about that. She’d debuted awhile ago, but she’d never met an extreme fan before.
“I don’t think so though. If they were a fan, they should be very excited when they see me. They might ask for an autograph or a photo or something. But this person hasn’t said a single word to me. He just follows me and gives a creepy laugh.” Pei Ying recalled that ‘haha’ and she could feel her hair stand on end.
The officer thought for a moment and then said, “Is your place nearby? I’ll send you back. If that person is still waiting at your building, I’ll teach him a lesson. Don’t you worry.”
“Okay…” Pei Ying agreed. She didn’t have any other options currently. She just hoped that the officer would really be able to stop the man.
The officer called over one of his colleagues and they walked Pei Ying home together. Seeing her sprained foot, he even asked with concern, “You didn’t get that sprain from fleeing from your stalker, did you?”
“Ah, no, I didn’t… I sprained it when I was practicing a dance.”
The officer nodded. “Your work must be tough too.”
Pei Ying laughed. “Whose work isn’t tough?”
“That’s true.” She and the two officers walked out of the station, and Pei Ying immediately saw the man in the black coat.
He was still standing at the intersection.
“It’s him, in the black coat and white sneakers.” As Pei Ying spoke, she made sure not to point at him and just describe him, but the man quickly turned and walked off. One of the officers called to him, but he didn’t stop. Instead, he started to run faster, and he was gone in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the man, Pei Ying started to feel nervous. She anxiously asked the officer at her side, “He wouldn’t retaliate after finding out I reported him, would he?”
The officer responded, “Don’t worry too much. We’ll make sure to keep an eye out for this. Keep an eye out when you enter or leave home. Better yet, have your boyfriend stay with you.”
Pei Ying bit her lip. “My boyfriend’s currently out of the country. He won’t be back for a few days.”
The officer seemed contemplative as he nodded. “Then this person may be taking the opportunity to follow you during that time… Do you have any other male friends that you can have travel around with you for awhile?”
Pei Ying thought about it. Although she had several male friends, only Chen Sheng was really suitable for this. But she couldn’t trouble Chen Sheng about it. He was her boss after all.
“How about I stay with my friend for the time being.” Thankfully, in this city, she still had a Ren Shanshan.
The officer responded, “That sounds good too. We’ll be mindful of this guy as well.”
After they sent Pei Ying off in a taxi, they left. Pei Ying checked the time. Ren Shanshan should still be at her studio, so she had the driver head there.
When she arrived, Ren Shanshan was holding a bowl and having dinner. When she saw Pei Ying hobble inside, she quickly stood up. “What’s going on?”
With Shanshan’s help, Pei Ying walked over to the table and sat down. She took a breath and said, “I sprained my ankle at dance practice. It’s not serious.”
“Not serious but wrapped up like this? Hospital gauze doesn’t cost money now?” Ren Shanshan examined her foot a bit and then sat down beside her. “Why did you come over here?”
Pei Ying explained about her stalker, and when she was done, Ren Shanshan stared blankly for a moment before abruptly putting down the bowl in her hands. “Wow, that’s really too scary. Your Song Nanchuan’s not doing anything about it?”
“Oh, I didn’t tell him about it. He’s abroad now, so telling him won’t be much use.”
“What do you mean? Complaining a bit and letting his heart hurt is something!” As Ren Shanshan spoke, she suddenly glanced out the window nervously. “That guy didn’t follow you here, did he?”
“…I don’t think so.”
“Good.” Ren Shanshan pat her chest. When she saw Pei Ying looking at her dinner, she clicked her tongue. “Stop looking, there’s not much left. I’ll go next door to order a bowl for you.”
“Spare ribs noodles. Thanks.”
Ren Shanshan, “….”
After the two finished eating in the studio, Ren Shanshan drove her small VW Polo home. Because of her sprained ankle, it wasn’t very convenient for Pei Ying to shower. She just washed up simply and then sat down on the sofa.
When Ren Shanshan came out from her own shower, she saw Pei Ying playing games on her phone. She said disdainfully, “How old are you that you’re so entranced by a dress-up game.”
Not taking offense, Pei Ying responded, “Song Nanchuan sent me more than 200 thousand diamonds. It’d be a waste not to play.”
Ren Shanshan, “….”
Daring to show off her (Pei Ying) relationship in her (Shanshan) house?! Criminal!
She was about to teach Pei Ying a lesson when Pei Ying’s phone rang. Pei Ying glanced at it and quickly answered, “Chuan Chuan ah—”
Before she could finish speaking, Ren Shanshan pulled the phone away. “Hello, is this Song Nanchuan? What kind of boyfriend are you? Did you know that your Pei Ying has a weird guy following her? She’s so scared that she’s hiding out at my place!”
On the other end, Song Nanchuan was startled. In a heavy voice, he said, “Hand the phone over to Pei Ying.”
Ren Shanshan gave the phone back to Pei Ying and ran off. Pei Ying watched her happily receding figure as she answered the phone hoarsely, “Chuan Chuan—”
“Pei Xiujuan, is what your friend said true?”
Pei Ying’s heart thumped. She shot a resentful glare at Ren Shanshan and then responded, “Yes, but—”
“You didn’t even mention one word to me about such a serious thing? Do you even take me for your boyfriend?”
Pei Ying tried to explain, a bit anxiously. “I wanted to wait until you came back to tell you. You’re abroad right now, so there wasn’t a reason to make you worry…”
Song Nanchuan pressed his lips together and remained silent for a moment. Then he asked, “Do you know who it is? Did he do anything to you?”
“No, he’s just been following me. I don’t know who he is either. I went to make a police report today, but they said they couldn’t file a report. That guy found out that I reported him, so I was afraid he might try to get back at me. That’s why I’m staying with Shanshan for now.”
Song Nanchuan’s brow tensed. Pei Ying was a public figure. If that person knew where she lives, he probably also knew where she works. Right now, he was anxious but unable to fly home, and he could only sit there apprehensively. “When you went to your friend’s place, did that guy follow you?”
“I don’t think so. The police escorted me and sent me off in a taxi.”
However, Song Nanchuan didn’t feel at all reassured. “Remember to lock all the doors and windows before you go to sleep. Send me your friend’s address. I’ll have my driver pick you up in the morning.”
“Ah, there’s no need for—”
“What do you mean no need. From now on, I’ll have the driver send you to and pick you up from work. And don’t go back to your apartment. Move to my place.”
Pei Ying thought about it for a moment. Although it was true that she didn’t dare to return to her own apartment, she wasn’t quite ready to just pick up and move to Song Nanchuan’s house either. “Before you get back, I’ll just stay with Shanshan.”
Sitting off to the side, browsing the internet, Ren Shanshan quickly turned around and said, “Don’t. If you stay here, I can’t bring any guys back.”
