Various aromas filled the air, making Quinn's mouth water. But realizing she had no money, she had to give up on the idea of buying anything. She walked aimlessly towards the end of the pedestrian street. It was drizzling, and soon, her hair was covered with tiny droplets of water. She lifted her sleeve to wipe her face, but her sleeve was also wet, leaving her face dripping with water.
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder.
Quinn turned to see two unfamiliar men. She remembered Orion from earlier, who seemed to know her, too. "Who are you guys?" Joe Brown and Billy Brown exchanged glances and then smiled. "You don't recognize us? But we know you." Quinn scratched her cheek, wondering, 'Am I that famous? Why so many people seemed to know me?' "What are you looking for? We can help you." Quinn said, "I'm looking for my home. Do you know how to get to my house?" "Of course. I've even been to your house." Quinn was a bit delighted and excitedly grabbed Joe's hand. "Really?" Joe and Billy's smiles grew more lecherous as they saw her reaction, thinking, 'Seems like she's really got smental issues.' "Of course it's true. Cwith us, and we'll take you home." Quinn nodded repeatedly.
'Can I finally go hnow?' Thinking about seeing her parents soon, she couldn't contain her excitement, pulling the man along and urging, "Let's go quickly." "Alright, don't rush." The two men didn't expect her to be so easily coaxed. They grabbed her hand, hailed a taxi by the roadside, shoved Quinn inside, and gave the driver an address. The car slowly drove away. "Quinn!" Hearing someone calling her name, Quinn sat up straight and looked out the window, seeing Alexander running out of the mall.
He sprinted towards the taxi, but all he got was a trail of exhaust fumes.
Alexander stood by the roadside, staring intently at the taxi. He panted heavily, his breath dispersing in the air as the wind blew.
In the blink of an eye, the taxi disappeared into the misty rain.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two men in the car were unaware of all this, as they didn't even know Quinn's name.
They both stared at Quinn, who was sitting in the middle. She was wearing a down jacket with the om zipper pulled all the way up, and her furry hood covered her entire head, leaving only a small face exposed. Her hair was loose, and her face was a bit chubby, making her look plump. Paired with her innocent, clear eyes, she appeared naive and pure.
The sight made the two men's throats dry, and they began to m imagine her eyes becoming murky, turning into a mess like a puddle of mud in the mundane world. Billy urged the driver to go faster.
The driver drove as fast as he could to the destination, a rundown old residential area on the outskirts where most of the houses were of about to be demolished, and not many people lived there. After getting out of the car, Quinn looked around at the surroundings and furrowed her brow. "Where is this?" Billy said, "This is your home. Don't you remember?" Quinn shook her head firmly. "This is not my home!"
