"Young man, you just spout off like that," a sudden voice drew everyone's attention. On the brightly lit balcony of the second floor of the villa next door, a woman in a dark red fur coat leaned against the wall, extending her nail-painted fingers. "Just the two of you. I saw you sneak in with the key. What kind of relatives are you? I've lived here for over thirty years and I've never seen either of you. You two broke into someone else's house and bullied a young girl, acting so aggressively. What kind of relatives are you!"
Lu Tingyi and Wen Qingyu were so embarrassed they didn't dare lift their heads. Wen Qingyu felt extremely ashamed, squeezed out her tears, and sobbed as she pulled Lu Tingyi away, saying, "You've misunderstood. We're really not thieves. Cousin, if you hate us, just say so. There's no need to make such a scene..."
"Tsk, I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such fake tears from you."
Upon hearing this, some of the onlookers, including Mu Yiran, finally realized who this flamboyantly beautiful woman was.
Zhou Yuan, a child star who has dominated international film screens for nearly 20 years, is an international film queen.
Mu Yiran didn't recognize her because when she was young, it was during the time when Zhou Yuan was very popular, and Zhou Yuan rarely stayed in Haishi.
Wen Qingyu glanced at Zhou Yuan, gritted her teeth in resentment, lowered her head and turned to leave, but was stopped by the guards. The leader reached out to Lu Tingyi, who glanced at Mu Yiran and saw that she ignored him, so he had no choice but to hand over the keys first.
Wen Qingyu walked ahead, practically fleeing, while Lu Tingyi was asked by the guards to go outside the villa to verify his identity.
The crowd finally dispersed. Mu Yiran looked up and saw Zhou Yuan leaning against the stone railing taking a selfie. She called out, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou!"
The other person raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you calling me 'Auntie'?"
Mu Yiran, being sensible, changed her address: "Thank you, beautiful sister!"
Zhou Yuan was pleased. "Call someone if you need anything. Don't let people bully you and then try to put on a brave face." She looked at the stunned Mu Yiran and said in a soft tone, "You look just like your mother, but your personalities are so different."
Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more. After Lu Tingyi's car drove away from the villa, she went inside, leaving Mu Yiran alone, bewildered in the wind.
So, does Zhou Yuan know Ms. Wen? Is that why she helped her?
A gust of cold wind made Mu Yiran shiver. She snapped back to her senses, locked the door securely, and ran back to the attic with the jade pendant in her hand.
It's almost 10 p.m. now, which means she's been traveling through time for about 10 hours.
Mu Yiran recalled that she had traveled through time because she hit her head on a load-bearing beam in the attic. Just now, she had been hit on the back of the head and traveled back in time.
So, the impact to the head is the point that triggers the time travel?
Without thinking, Mu Yiran squatted down and jumped up with all her might, "Thump!"
"Ahhhhh!" A huge bump suddenly appeared on her head. She opened her tear-filled eyes and realized she was still in the attic, nothing had changed.
That shouldn't be the case....
Is the equipment not complete enough?
Mu Yiran picked up the three-person photo with Bai Shengsheng on the ground, held the jade pendant in her hand, struck a pose like a magical girl transforming, and then "thumped" into the roof beam.
This time there's a change; the bumps on his head have increased from one to two.
For the next half hour, Mu Yiran tried various ways to bang her head against the roof beams, but neither Ultraman nor Armor Hero transformations worked.
She slumped to the ground, spraying medicine on her head. The medicine stung the red and swollen area, causing a tingling pain. Mu Yiran felt dizzy from the pain.
Suddenly, in those few seconds of dizziness, the scene before her eyes flashed.
A small white wall appeared in the scene before me, and Shi Youxi appeared at the edge of my line of sight. The boy's face was pale, and his mouth was opening and closing as if he was speaking.
But in the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal. She was still in the attic, with various storage boxes piled up in front of her.
Mu Yiran touched the bump on her head. Perhaps it wasn't a head injury... but rather a state of unconsciousness caused by an impact?
She recalled that when she first traveled through time a few months ago, she fainted from fright rather than from an impact.
This is it!
Mu Yiran grabbed the photos and the jade pendant and ran downstairs. She returned to her room and rummaged through her suitcase for the calming and sedative medications she had been prescribed by her psychologist.
I found the repackaged medicine box, but the compartment for the tranquilizers was already empty!
Perhaps everything was predetermined.
She was guided back to the city of Hai, and then traveled through time a second time in Hai. Now, the doctor who can provide sleeping pills is also in Hai.
Mu Yiran called the other party, and fortunately it wasn't too late. The psychologist could hear Mu Yiran's urgency and, fearing that she might lose control of her emotions and misuse medication, decided to personally deliver the medicine.
Mu Yiran waited anxiously in the living room. Because Lu Tingyi and Wen Qingyu had delayed her quite a bit of time, Cheng Ran should have been unconscious for about a day in 2016.
The image of Shi Youxi's face reappeared before Mu Yiran's eyes—a blank expression, a broken and helpless look, the same as the image of Shi Youxi she had dreamed of when she first traveled back in time.
Mu Yiran was worried that Shi Youxi would do something crazy like in her previous dream, so she could only pray that her idea was right and that falling into a deep sleep would allow her to travel back in time.
Clutching her phone, she bit her fingernails and watched the clock hands spin. Suddenly, Mu Yiran remembered something else. She took out her phone and made a voice call to someone on WeChat.
...
Beijing, Guan Yi International Hospital.
"The patient suffered a severe blow to the head. The image shows a small bruise at the point of impact, which is the main cause of the patient's unconsciousness..." The attending physician gestured on the CT scan with a pen, and the more he spoke, the colder the air around him seemed to drop...
Guan Shiyan glanced at the boy sitting there as if in a trance, "Uh... but it's not a big problem, right..." He winked at the attending physician, who changed the subject, "Yes, it's just a small area. With medication and proper bed rest, it will disappear soon. The patient may wake up at any time during this process."
The attending physician took the CT scan off and, looking at the unresponsive Shi Youxi, firmly repeated, "It's not a big problem. The patient will definitely wake up."
Shi Youxi looked at the CT scan, blinked slowly, and carefully put the scan away. "Thank you."
The two came out of the office. Guan Shiyan looked at the boy standing dejectedly by the elevator door and patted him on the shoulder. "If our Dean Chen says she can wake up, she definitely can. It's only been a day. What are you worried about? Once the blood clot disappears and the pain subsides, your sister will wake up."
Upon hearing that word, a light slowly gathered in Shi Youxi's dark pupils. She turned to look at him, "Sister..."
“Yeah,” Guan Shiyan hooked his arm around his neck as they entered the elevator, “You’re so worried about Cheng Ran just because she’s your older sister.”
"Although I don't understand why you're so determined, what can I do? You only have me as your brother. What would you do if even I didn't believe you, my dear Xi!"
Shi Youxi's shoulders relaxed, and for the first time, she didn't shake off Guan Shiyan's hand. Guan Shiyan pressed the button for the VIP ward floor and muttered, "You lost my phone and smashed my car, but I'm still standing firmly behind you. Tsk, I'm so envious that you have such a good man behind you!"
"....."
The elevator doors opened, and the two walked toward the ward, only to unexpectedly hear an argument.
"Do I really need someone's permission to visit my sister-in-law?!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, but Madam needs a quieter place to rest. Please leave."
"We won't make a sound, we just want to check on our little sister's situation..."
