Meet

The laughter gradually subsided. "Bingo, you guessed right!"

Xu Feifei relaxed completely after realizing it was Su Huan. She started searching everywhere for her hiding place, but couldn't find her.

Where are you? I can't see you.

"I'm in the bathroom, come quick."

When Xu Feifei arrived at the restroom, she saw Su Huan standing in front of the mirror, smiling at her.

I don't know if it's because of the fright I just experienced, but this scene looks a bit eerie.

"How did you get here? Why did you dress up as a ghost to scare me? And where did you go before? You disappeared for so long, and you barely replied to my WeChat messages. I thought you were going to abandon me and go back!"

Having not seen her for a long time, Xu Feifei had a lot to ask and say to her.

"Stop, stop, stop." Su Huan was stunned by her question.

"There are too many questions. Let's take it slow and ask them one by one."

"Okay. Where have you been all this time? Why haven't you contacted me?" Xu Feifei asked the most important question first.

"I've been kidnapped, and my phone has been taken away. I can't contact you!"

Xu Feifei stared wide-eyed in surprise, unable to believe it.

"Who kidnapped you? Why did they kidnap you? Did you offend someone?"

Su Huan shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I was locked in a room with someone watching over me. I suspect he knows our secret."

"No way! What do you mean?"

"Because I touched the NPC, my memories of reality and my interactions with you were formatted. He seized on this and touched me every now and then, so I never remembered anything. The person who knows our secret must be someone we know well."

Xu Feifei frowned and asked, "Really?! Have you told anyone else your secret? Do you know the person guarding you?"

Su Huan shook her head and said, "I don't know him. I've never seen him before. I feel that he's not the mastermind. The mastermind is someone else."

He continued, "This world was thrown into chaos after you came in. I'm just a passerby in this world. A passerby is just playing the role of an ordinary NPC, and nobody remembers me."

Su Huan turned her head and looked at her seriously, asking, "Have you ever told anyone that you don't belong to this world?"

Xu Feifei thought for a moment, then decisively shook her head and said, "No, no one has said that."

Su Huan walked to a corner, her brows furrowed and her expression somber.

"But speaking of which, how did you get here? Weren't you being monitored? How did you regain your memories?"

Xu Feifei was surprised by her sudden appearance. To put it nicely, this place is a place away from the hustle and bustle, a place to feel nature; to put it bluntly, it's a mountain village. Coming here without a car is practically like climbing a mountain.

Su Huan recalled the time she was being monitored and shook her head, saying, "I don't know either. It seems that they've relaxed the surveillance on me in the last few weeks, and my desire to go back has grown stronger, so I've started to slowly regain my memories."

"So how did you get here?"

"I got here by exploiting a bug."

Xu Feifei stared at her in astonishment, not understanding what this meant.

Su Huan explained, "As I said before, you are the newest person to have transmigrated into this novel world. The way back mainly depends on you; you are a key for me to return to reality. As long as I keep thinking of you, I will appear by your side."

"Wow, teleportation! With this, you can go wherever you want, right? Can you teach me this trick? If I can't contact you, I can teleport to your side."

"I doubt it will work. This isn't teleportation; it's a bug in this world. And it's very limited. It can only appear next to you, and it can only be used when there are no NPCs on either side. As long as there are NPCs around you, I will immediately return to my original location."

"Ah..." Xu Feifei sighed in disappointment.

Su Huan reminded her, "I've used this trick before, in the dorm and at the hospital, have you forgotten?"

Xu Feifei pouted and didn't say anything.

"The current plan is for you to find me quickly, and then we'll find the person who knows our secret together."

Xu Feifei asked in confusion, "I'm looking for you? Aren't you already here?"

Su Huan looked at her, her expression subtly changing, and said, "Look at you, you're not listening to me. I just said that as long as an NPC reappears next to you, I will be pulled back to my original place."

"ah?"

Xu Feifei continued, "So that's why you came to the toilet? But don't worry, only Lin Yuan and I live in this house, there are no other NPCs."

Su Huan looked at her in surprise, "What! You're living with Lin Yuan now?"

Xu Feifei's face flushed red instantly. "What?! I'm staying with Lin Yuan temporarily because I'm injured."

"You're injured? How did you get hurt?"

Xu Feifei sighed and said, "It's a long story."

Then she told Su Huan about her miserable trip to Europe. Su Huan listened and shook her head and sighed, "Terrible, absolutely terrible."

But after hearing that Lin Yuan was restricting Xu Feifei's movements, he frowned and seemed to be deep in thought.

"She's not giving it away? That feels a bit strange."

Xu Feifei was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "No, it's mainly because I'm injured and my condition isn't stable yet, so they won't let me go out and about."

Su Huan looked into her eyes, then looked away. Her hand rested on the bathtub, but unexpectedly touched the water. She washed her hand with a look of disgust and dried it with a towel.

The restrooms here are large enough that even with several more people, it wouldn't feel crowded. But Xu Feifei felt that discussing things here was a little strange.

Why are we discussing this in the bathroom? Why didn't we say it outside?

"I said it in the restroom just in case I run into an NPC, then I won't be able to talk to you."

"No, Lin Yuan and I are the only ones living in this house right now. Lin Yuan went out today, so I'm the only one here."

Xu Feifei continued, "Let's go outside and talk. Although it's quite clean here, it's still a restroom, and it feels a bit strange."

After she opened the door and went out, she saw Lin Yuan searching and calling out, "Feifei," in the distance along the corridor.

Upon seeing her, he rushed over and asked anxiously, "Where did you go? Why didn't you answer when I called you?"

Xu Feifei hurriedly closed the toilet door and blocked it with her body, saying, "My stomach hurt just now, and I was using the toilet. The exhaust fan was too loud, so I didn't hear you calling me."

Lin Yuan noticed her subtle movements, stared at the door for a few seconds, and asked, "Does it still hurt? Should I call the doctor to come and take a look?"

After saying that, she took out her phone and made a call.

Xu Feifei quickly shook her head and said, "No need, no need, I just went to the toilet. There's no need to call the doctor, it's too much trouble for them to come all the way from the city to the suburbs. Didn't you go out on something? Why are you back so early?"

It's only been half an hour since Lin Yuan left, and half an hour might not even be enough time to get to the city center. Let alone a round trip, it would probably be very difficult.

"When I went out, I realized I had forgotten something, so I came back."

"Oh, then you'd better take it with you quickly, or you'll forget it again later."

"Okay, I'll go to the restroom first."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, she went around behind her and opened the door to see what was hidden inside.

Xu Feifei quickly blocked the door and said hastily, "Wait, why don't you go to the other toilet first? I just finished, and it might still smell a bit."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

"No, I mind."

Xu Feifei blocked the door even tighter and covered Lin Yuan's nose with her hand, saying, "Really, it stinks in there. I don't want to ruin my image in your heart, so go to the other toilet."

After saying that, he pushed Lin Yuan forward.

Lin Yuan's eyes darkened upon seeing this. It seemed there really was something hidden in the restroom. What could it be that she had been so careful to conceal it, even though she had checked it thoroughly before coming in?

She glanced back at the toilet door a few more times, but didn't force her way in. She knew who it was as soon as that person came out.

Xu Feifei pushed Lin Yuan into another bathroom, then ran back to the original bathroom. Peeking inside through the door, she saw that Su Huan had indeed disappeared.

I opened every cabinet and box that could be opened to take a look, even the skincare products on the bathroom counter. I took them all apart to check, but I still couldn't find them.

Feeling a bit annoyed, he muttered to himself, "It really is teleportation."

Then she added with relief, "But it's good that Lin Yuan won't find out this time."

"Can't find anything?" Lin Yuan asked, standing behind Xu Feifei.

Xu Feifei was startled by the sudden sound. When she saw that it was Lin Yuan, her heart was still pounding.

Lin Yuan pressed closer and closer, leaving less and less space in the bathroom. Gradually, she was cornered, and Xu Feifei lowered her head, desperately trying to think of an excuse to escape.

The two were very close; as soon as Xu Feifei looked up, she could feel Lin Yuan's hot breath.

"Can't tell, can't tell that my poop smells really bad. Hehe...hehe."

Xu Feifei smiled awkwardly and looked up to see Lin Yuan looking at her with a gloomy expression.

The two remained in this position for a while, and Lin Yuan remained silent, simply watching her quietly.

Xu Feifei reacted first, trying to crawl out from underneath, but there wasn't enough space for her to squat down. She timidly said, "Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan's gaze grew even deeper, and she said in a low, husky voice, "Feifei, you said you would give me an answer after you returned from Europe."

Xu Feifei panicked when her alarm clock went off.

He nodded, his voice muffled as he said, "Mmm."

So you're agreeing?

"No, I..."

Xu Feifei instinctively tried to back away, but found herself with nowhere to retreat. Behind her was a wall, and in front of her was Lin Yuan.
