It was already dark by the time Gu Ning got back to her place.
She had stopped to use the restroom on the way, so she got home a little later than she had two days ago.
She also had to wait by the elevator for a while until it was empty.
Taking the stairs was out of the question. Seeing the elevator was finally empty, Gu Ning dashed inside and quickly pressed the button for her floor.
Just as the doors were about to slide shut, a hand shot out and stopped them.
The doors slid open again, and a tall, slender figure stepped inside.
Gu Ning rarely thought to use the word "slender" to describe a Beastman. She usually found them tall and brawny, like walking walls. But when she saw this Beastman, the word popped into her head.
It probably had to do with his clothes, which looked like a combat suit—form-fitting and flattering to his physique.
The high collar of his outfit hid the lower half of his face, leaving only a pair of light green eyes visible to Gu Ning.
