Xiao Se had a terrible nightmare in the morning. He woke up with a stiff neck and couldn't wake up. In the dream, he saw someone dead—Lin Weiwei. He held her body and cried uncontrollably, but the girl smiled and said that she wasn't dead, she had just returned to Mercury, that was her home.

How strange, it's really bad luck to have such an ominous dream so early in the morning. But when he pulled back the covers, his younger brother, full of youthful vigor, came to visit, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

I checked my phone and it was only 5 a.m., so I was about to go back to sleep when someone kept knocking on the hotel door. Who was checking rooms so early? He hadn't checked out yet and needed cleaning. I didn't open the door, but the person kept knocking. I put on my slippers and opened the door, and I was terrified.

Tongtong?

"Brother, have you missed me?"

As she spoke, she pounced on him, then hooked her foot on the door and closed it.

"Isn't Tongtong dead? Who are you? I...I...I don't know you."

Han Han looked at the person in front of her, still sleepy and completely unaware, looking rather lazy and adorable. She scratched his head, bit his earlobe, and took out a breakfast box. It was sushi she had specially made, with a little something added inside. Having learned from her previous experience, she wouldn't make the same mistake again. Xiao Se shoved the person in front of him away, terrified. Even his manhood had fled! This person looked exactly like Tongtong, from her appearance to her mannerisms. The dead can't be brought back to life. He was out of money; what if going to find someone to spend the night with was a honey trap? He grabbed his phone and started recording his conversation with the woman.

When she opened the breakfast box, a rich aroma wafted out—the smell of fresh pickled radishes, which must have been made in the last couple of days.

"Take a bite, and you'll know who I am," Han Han said, placing a small piece of sushi in his palm.

this……

Logically, he shouldn't eat it, because what if it contained hallucinogenic drugs? He'd lose both his money and his lover. But looking at that face so similar to Tongtong's, those pitiful, tearful eyes, he hesitated. Before he could react, a pair of cold lips pressed against his own. It seemed she hadn't had time to brush her teeth that morning. Food was brought into his mouth as the door opened. He tried chewing a couple of bites. He added ketchup to the seaweed rice roll to make it taste better. Only Tongtong knew how to make this. It really was her…

Only Tongtong could make him unable to refuse. He still couldn't believe that people could come back to life. Perhaps the dream he had this morning was a final flicker of life before death, and the person in the dream should have been Tongtong, not Lin Weiwei. He grabbed the sushi from the lunchbox, ate three pieces, and then choked on a sip of water. At that moment, he felt lightheaded and weak all over. Oh no! He was definitely being set up.

The strange woman removed her clothes one by one before him, and tears streamed down her face, each drop landing on his lower abdomen. "Xiao, I've waited so long, so agonizingly. I have to use this method to keep you by my side. I promise I will serve you well."

"ah……"

Even her voice had changed, and it sounded familiar, though he couldn't quite place it. Damn it! He, a grown man, had been assaulted by a strange woman. He didn't even have the strength to speak, completely subdued by her abuse. She was lost in her own world. He noticed a melting gun in his suitcase; this was self-defense, and hitting a female thug shouldn't be illegal.

"Don't move, Xiao. Are you feeling unwell?"

"I can't take it!" Xiao Se suddenly sat up, slamming his head against the woman's chin. He rushed into his suitcase, grabbed a melting gun, aimed it at the man's abdomen, and fired. The room reeked of gunpowder, and Han Han had a large hole in his abdomen, the surrounding skin still melting.

"You actually hit me? Xiao, how many times has my boss ordered me to kill you, but I hesitated? All because I love you, ahhhh!"

Han Han's skin turned into thick, white blood, slowly trickling down the bathroom drain. Terrified, he collapsed to the floor. Finally, he'd dealt with the monster; the burning sensation in his body subsided. Damn it… his reputation was ruined. He absolutely couldn't let anyone know he'd had a relationship with a monster. It seemed staying in a hotel was no longer safe. He immediately packed his bags, not even bothering to shower, and went to find Old Man Xiao. Arriving at the Xiao Group, he found the doors locked, and a notice posted outside saying it was closed to the public. He wasn't some outsider; why were the doors locked and his son not allowed to come home? There were no staff members inside through the glass doors, and the lights were dim—this wasn't normal.

"What trouble have you gotten me into now, you unfilial son? You never come to me for no reason. If I need something while I'm on a business trip, I'll go find your classmates."

Good heavens, there's not even a safe haven. Is he even your own son? So I called Ma Fei again, but I couldn't get through. I called Kuai Zui, but he was still asleep. He answered a few words and then hung up.

It was too early; everyone was still asleep. He was still shaken by what had just happened, so he wanted to find a place to put his luggage. He sheepishly returned to the Happiness Villa, opened the front door, and looked at the villa across the street—Lin Weiwei's house. He'd left his things there once before; hopefully, she wouldn't mind leaving them there again.

So, dragging a suitcase, I knocked on the door for ages but got no response. I sighed. It was the weekend, and all my classmates were having parties and didn't have classes. It wouldn't be appropriate to go to anyone's house, so I decided to make do outside. I set up a makeshift bed on the floor and took another nap. I'd never felt so down on my luck, wandering the streets with my suitcase, almost out of money. I was too embarrassed to ask my friends for help, so I sighed again and fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until evening, when Lin Weiwei returned home, that she found someone lying in front of her house. He had broken off a tree branch and was now relentlessly beating Xiao Se, who was covered in a pile of clothes. What kind of madman was this, sleeping in front of someone's door and leaving his things all over the place?

"Stop, stop, stop hitting me! It's me! I'm so unlucky, I was crawled on by a ghost in the morning and you beat me up at night!"

The familiar voice belonged to Xiao Se. Lin Weiwei raised an eyebrow, took off the coat covering her head, and sure enough, it was him. His hair was messy, he hadn't shaved, and his voice had a strange smell. What did he take her for?

Xiao Se's eyes were red and swollen. No one could understand what this grown man had been through that day, but his emotions calmed down the moment he saw her. "Since your place is so clean, why don't you invite me to stay?"

"Huh? Why should I?"

"I dreamt that you died and were going back to Mercury, that's all."

Xiao Se sniffed. No classmate's house was as good as hers; it was close to school, and the neighborhood was safe, so no troublemakers would come in. The first thing a new student had to do was get on good terms with the class leader. Luckily, she managed to escape with the melting gun she threw; otherwise, she probably would have been dead.
