Song Qingbai narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the familiar face in front of him, feeling that it was very unreal.
"Butler Xu?"
She shouted, her voice a little hoarse.
"Miss, I'm sorry I failed to protect you!"
Butler Xu was soaked all over, his white shirt was wet, revealing his muscular figure vaguely. His short black hair was still dripping with water, and his handsome face was full of self-blame.
Song Qingbai remained silent and looked around again. This was indeed her mountain villa.
The handsome men around him also showed concern and worry on their faces. Song Qingbai secretly called the system, but there was still no response.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Miss, you choked on some water and were rescued. It was only half an hour ago."
Butler Xu was very respectful. Seeing that Song Qingbai had woken up, he directly carried her horizontally in his arms.
"Butler Xu, where are you taking me?"
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Song Qingbai subconsciously put her arms around his neck. All this seemed unreal, but when she got close to Butler Xu, she could clearly feel his warm body temperature and the strong heartbeat.
"Miss, it's a cool night. I'll carry you back to your room to rest."
Butler Xu, who was usually cold and aloof, became proactive at this moment, which made Song Qingbai suddenly panic.
Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. This place must be an illusion set up by the evil sword, but where did Lu Qianyin and Shen Rangchen go?
Song Qingbai thought silently, letting Xu Yan hold her. She glanced at the handsome men by the swimming pool and sighed slightly.
"It's getting late, Miss, you're tired. You should all go back first! But please don't reveal a single word about what happened tonight, otherwise the Shen family will not let it go easily."
Butler Xu paused, turned around and spoke coldly to the people in front of him. Song Qingbai didn't say anything more, which was considered as his agreement.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen, everyone had a great time at the pool party tonight, and nothing else happened. Since Miss Shen is tired, let's all go back first."
Song Qing rolled his eyes at the person who was originally standing by the swimming pool and quickly left because of a word from Butler Xu.
Her fox eyes moved slightly, but she still didn't say anything.
Presumably, the key to this illusion lies in Butler Xu. Song Qingbai secretly reminded himself to stay vigilant at all times.
After dismissing everyone, Xu Yan carried Song Qingbai upstairs again. The room was still her room, the furnishings and layout were exactly the same, and there was no flaw to be found.
"Miss, please go take a shower and change your clothes first. Doctor Lu is on his way and will be here soon."
"Doctor Lu?"
Song Qingbai was slightly stunned and spoke in confusion.
"Exactly. You just choked on water. I've contacted the best doctor in the local hospital to see you."
"Oh good, then wait in the living room until he gets here."
Song Qingbai thought for a moment, could the Doctor Lu that Butler Xu mentioned be Lu Qianyin?
The current situation was unclear, so she took a shower and changed clothes as Butler Xu requested.
Looking at the familiar shower, Song Qingbai felt a complicated feeling in her heart. There was a time when she wanted to go back so much, but now that she saw it in this illusion, she felt a little strange.
After taking a bath, Song Qingbai changed into a snow-white long dress. Looking at her face in the mirror, she felt even more complicated.
This face is indeed my own, but I am used to other people's faces, so looking at my own face now has some inexplicable meaning.
"Miss, Dr. Lu is here."
When Song Qingbai was looking at his face in the mirror, the voice of Butler Xu was heard outside the door.
"Butler Xu, please come in for a moment."
"Yes, miss."
Hearing Song Qingbai's voice, Butler Xu was obviously stunned, but he still went straight into the bathroom.
The bathroom was very spacious. As soon as Xu Yan entered, he saw someone standing next to the mirror. His eyes darkened, but he only stopped at the door.
"Help me zip up the back, I can't reach it."
Song Qingbai's expression remained unchanged and he turned around.
She was wearing a pure white dress and had long dark hair draped over her shoulders. Her exposed skin was even whiter than the dress.
Xu Yan hesitated for a long time, but still walked forward.
Song Qingbai raised her eyes and watched the person in the mirror slowly approaching her. As she was forbearing and restraining herself, she felt a little strange in her heart.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with Butler Xu.
"Okay, miss."
As his mind raced through thoughts, Xu Yan's voice rang out again.
"Let's go. Don't keep Dr. Lu waiting."
Song Qingbai put his thoughts aside and walked downstairs first.
Xu Yan followed closely behind, his face returning to its calm expression.
"Doctor Lu?"
There was a man sitting upright on the sofa in the living room. He was wearing a neat suit and his eyes were gentle. When he heard footsteps, he stood up and gave Song Qingbai a gentle smile.
"Miss Shen, I'm fine."
The person who was speaking had long silver hair half tied up, and his voice was very pleasant. When Song Qingbai saw his face clearly, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
It turns out that good-looking people are pleasing to the eye no matter what they wear.
Lu Qianyin has always liked wearing light-colored robes, making him look ethereal and like he has fallen into the mortal world.
But when he put on a white suit, he looked even more handsome and elegant.
"Dr. Lu, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I just choked on some water, but I'm fine now."
Song Qingbai sat opposite him, admiring Lu Qianyin's current outfit with his foxy eyes.
"I'd better show it to Miss Shen first."
Lu Qianyin had a spring-like smile on her face. She was not angry when Song Qingbai rejected her. She just glanced at Xu Yan behind her and reminded her again.
"That's fine, then follow me into the room!"
The living room of the villa was filled with nannies, but they had no expression on their faces. They stood mechanically, as if waiting for the order from Butler Xu at any time.
Without waiting for Xu Yan's reaction, Song Qingbai walked straight to Lu Qianyin and put her arm around his wrist.
The two of them were so intimate that Xu Yan's eyes flickered.
"Miss, Mr. Shen is here too. Why don't you wait a moment? He will be here soon. Doctor Lu, how about you take a look at her here first?"
"Oh? Master Shen?"
Song Qingbai continued to ask, the Master Shen he mentioned must be Shen Rangchen without a doubt.
“Miss, isn’t Shen Rangchen your cousin? He just returned home and was originally one of the people invited tonight, but he was a little late. When I received the call, he was already halfway up the mountain. He will be here soon.”
Xu Yan replied respectfully and asked someone to prepare refreshments.
"Okay, since my cousin is here, I'll wait."
Song Qingbai said in a deep voice, but did not let go of Lu Qianyin's hand.
Judging from Lu Qianyin's reaction, he didn't seem to know his true identity, but why did she return to this place? This illusion was very strange.
Song Qingbai pondered for a while, then pulled Lu Qianyin back to sit on the sofa.
In order to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, she began to look for a way to break through the illusion.
