The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Bai Xiyue held the phone tightly, her heart pounding.
In this extremely dangerous situation, she remained calm and her brain worked quickly.
The bathroom in Shang Junzhuo's house is relatively large and is divided into two parts by a curtain. One part is the toilet and washbasin, and the other part is the bathroom heater and bathtub, and the window is in the inner part.
Bai Xiyue covered her phone and responded to the outside world.
"Yes, I'm on the phone."
After Bai Xiyue responded, she walked to the window with her phone in her hand, her tone somewhat resentful.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, but it was exposed like this."
"What surprise?"
Yan Yushan's voice deepened, and he still had a hint of astonishment in his voice.
"You said we were celebrating, so I thought about going to the mall to buy you a new dress and then pick out a gift for you, but I don't know what to pick, so I asked my brother to help me. I'm in the fitting room now. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. When I'm done, come to the mall to pick me up. I'm not happy that the surprise I wanted to prepare is gone."
Bai Xiyue's voice carried a hint of loss and grievance, which made Yan Yushan on the other end of the phone feel a little amused.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have called you at this time to ruin your surprise. But this is already a surprise for me. See you then."
"good."
Bai Xiyue's voice was still low, and she looked unhappy.
"Okay, okay, don't feel bad. Meeting you is the greatest surprise of my life."
The male voice with a somewhat cold tone said these seductive words with a smile, which was enough to make people feel weak in the knees.
Bai Xiyue hung up the phone after being comforted by a few words, and her expression immediately returned to its cold state.
Just kidding, how could such a small situation be difficult for her? She immediately took the initiative and let Yan Yushan coax her.
But this damn body... Bai Xiyue held the phone, gritting her teeth.
Even in that tense situation just now, an uncontrollable feeling of excitement burst out from my heart.
That kind of excitement almost made her faint. The original owner's body was really sick.
Most people would have panicked a long time ago, but this body is still excited and full of the desire to cause trouble. Is it really impatient to be dismembered?
Bai Xiyue washed her hands, dried them, and walked out with her phone.
Shang Junzhuo was no longer standing at the door, but sitting on the sofa.
"Whose phone number is it? The editor-in-chief?"
"Yes, I'm going out for dinner. I'm leaving now. Bye."
Bai Xiyue nodded with a smile, waved to Shang Junzhuo, and started putting on her shoes at the door.
Time was running out, so she had to go back and change her clothes and hairstyle, then prepare a gift and wait for Yan Yushan outside the mall.
Shang Junzhuo held the baby for her and touched her hair.
"Can't you bring your family to the dinner party?"
Shang Junzhuo looked at Bai Xiyue with expectation in his eyes.
"We don't bring family members to our internal gatherings."
Bai Xiyue pinched Shang Junzhuo's face and coaxed her boyfriend.
"Then remember to come back after dinner. I finally got a day off today. I'll be on the night shift tomorrow, so I definitely won't be able to accompany you."
Shang Junzhuo felt helpless; that was the nature of his job and he had finally managed to get this day off.
Shang Junzhuo is not free tomorrow, this is really good news!
Looking at Shang Junzhuo's gentle face, Bai Xiyue thought happily like all cheating wives.
The original owner didn't live with Shang Junzhuo, she just stayed overnight when she did something. Most of the time, she just stayed overnight at the places of her four boyfriends.
"Okay, I'll be back."
Bai Xiyue nodded, picked up her bag and opened the door.
After Bai Xiyue went downstairs, she took a taxi back home.
This is the house that the original owner used to change clothes. It is not big, with two bedrooms and a living room. There are no beds in either room, but instead a large wardrobe in each.
The original owner was not schizophrenic but might have been on the verge of schizophrenia. The four boyfriends had four different personalities and four different ways of dressing. The styles of the clothes in the closet were distinct. Bai Xiyue stood in front of the gentle and ladylike style and sighed.
I still have too much money.
Can you do this without money? Obviously not.
Fortunately, Bai Xiyue originally worked in the entertainment industry, and worked hard to make her way up, so she had already mastered the skills of dressing, matching, and applying makeup.
After quickly changing her clothes, Bai Xiyue combed her hair and then removed her makeup as quickly as possible.
Women, it's so difficult.
It took Bai Xiyue twenty minutes to finish all this. At this time, Yan Yushan called and said that he had already left work.
"Okay, I'm at the mall on Chengxi Road. I'll be waiting for you at the milk tea shop outside. Come pick me up."
Bai Xiyue's voice was steady, but in fact her legs were shaking a little.
"Okay, I'll get going right away."
The shopping mall on Chengxi Road is not far from here, but she still has to choose a gift.
It's too late!
Bai Xiyue walked down the stairs in her high heels, hailed a taxi and headed straight for the shopping mall.
[Bai Xiyue]: System, can you give me the floor plan of the mall and tell me where the gift counter is!
[System]: Ok, it’s on the second floor. I’ll tell you how to get there when the time comes.
Bai Xiyue shook her legs unconsciously in the taxi to calm her breathing.
Fortunately, the system has this function. If the system just said it can’t do it, then what’s the point of it!
Bai Xiyue paid the fare first, then looked at her hands. She was still on the road, so there was no point in getting anxious.
【Bai Xiyue】: System, do you have any cheat codes?
Even the protagonist has it!
[System]: I can roll back infinitely!
The system's voice carried an inexplicable sense of pride, but Bai Xiyue felt that it was like the vicious voice of a devil.
She actually doesn't want a rollback, thank you.
I want to live in peace until the end, say goodbye to these people, and call the police when I can go back.
【Bai Xiyue】: Anything else?
[System]: There is one more that is particularly useful!
【Bai Xiyue】: What is it?
【System】: You will know when the time comes!
What do you say?
It's the same as saying nothing!
Fortunately, the traffic is very smooth now. It only takes three minutes to get from where Bai Xiyue was just now to Chengxi Road.
Bai Xiyue opened the car door and headed straight to the destination of the mall.
Going up from the second floor, turning left and going straight, Bai Xiyue arrived at the counter she wanted.
She was going to buy a pair of cufflinks and didn't have time to shop around.
Fortunately, Yan Yushan’s company is quite far from here, so it won’t get here so quickly.
Bai Xiyue bought a pair of cufflinks, had them packed and put in a box, and then she left the shopping mall with the beautifully packaged bag, sat down in a milk tea shop, and ordered a cup of fruit tea.
Not long after, Yan Yushan arrived and called Bai Xiyue.
Bai Xiyue came to the car with her bag and fruit tea and opened the passenger seat.
"Just you? Where's your brother?"
"I was on a date with my boyfriend, so of course he left. Otherwise, would he be a third wheel?"
Bai Xiyue carried the fruit tea and asked Yan Yushan to help carry it, then fastened her seat belt and took it.
"I never heard you mention you had a brother."
Yan Yushan started the car and asked casually.
"He's not my biological brother, but my cousin. He happened to be visiting my house, so I asked him to help me pick out gifts."
Bai Xiyue chuckled, bit the straw and took a sip of fruit tea.
"Would you like to drink?"
Bai Xiyue tilted the quilt over and shook it in front of Yan Yushan.
Yan Yushan had just got off work. He was still wearing a formal suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His hair was combed up, revealing his smooth forehead. His rather stern face exuded a sense of gentleness and abstinence.
This kind of man can best arouse a woman's desire to challenge and conquer. Women like to see him taking off his glasses and untying his tie and being unable to control himself.
The original owner wanted to go for the romantic route, but after observing him for a few days, he found that he really didn't like this type of thing, so he decided to go for this style.
The original owner was right. Yan Yushan liked her gentle and wifely tone. Every time at that time, he liked to grab her and bully her, and he would not let her submit to him wholeheartedly.
"What about my gift?"
Yan Yushan held the straw in his mouth but didn't drink, he just licked it.
"It's in my bag. Don't you want to drink it?"
"Drink it, it's very sweet."
Yan Yushan chuckled, sat up straight, and turned the steering wheel.
Bai Xiyue was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and she was shocked.
There is something here.
This brother is a bit flirtatious.
Bai Xiyue recalled that he was really the type of person who was well-dressed under the bed but a beast in bed.
Who can bear this?
Bai Xiyue was a little excited, she liked this one.
But the problem is that her mission is to break up.
How can we break up when you can't even keep up a lie?
Forget it, forget it, take your time, you have just arrived in this world, there is no need to rush.
[Bai Xiyue]: Yes, there is no time limit for this mission?
【System】:No
[Bai Xiyue]: That's good, but can I just put it off until a few decades later?
[System]: Host, please be more sober. According to my calculations, Subject No. 1 and Subject No. 2 are eager to drag you to get married at any time. Subject No. 4 also has this intention. Although Subject No. 3 is still young and is not yet legally qualified, it will be a few years before he is married.
[System]: Even if it can be delayed for several decades, it is a waste of your time. By that time, will you still remember your original world?
[Bai Xiyue]: Then I have lived here for a few decades, so it is not a loss?
[System]: If you feel that it is not a loss, then it is a loss. However, if the mission fails, you have to start over again, even if you commit suicide.
The system's voice had a slight tone, calmly stating a fact that was horrifying and terrifying to contemplate.
If the task fails, you have to read the file and start over.
So no matter if you fail now, ten years later, or twenty years later, you have to start over.
An endless cycle will only lead to collapse and numbness, which is the ultimate that even death cannot solve.
Even if you want to give up your present life, the system will not allow you to give up.
Only success can break this cycle. It may seem gentle and unhurried, but it is actually full of malice.
Bai Xiyue drank a sip of fruit tea. It was summer now, and milk tea always came with ice. She ordered dragon fruit cheese milk cap. She sucked some of the dragon fruit and crushed ice into her mouth, and it seemed to freeze her whole body.
At the same time, the cell phone began to vibrate.
Bai Xiyue looked at the incoming call notification, which showed the words "coffee shop".
This was the note she had just changed in the milk tea shop, representing Chen Qingzhu.
She didn't reply to the message.
The author has something to say: First update! There will be two more updates today!
