Shi Youxi lay on Cheng Ran's bed, his face buried in the woman's pillow, greedily inhaling the lingering scent.
The phone rang, and Shi Youxi answered it, "How is it?"
"Young Master, the person is indeed in the room and hasn't come out, but..." The bodyguard looked at the shifting red dot on the monitor and said incredulously, "But according to the monitor, the person in the room seems to have passed through the wall!"
"...."
Shi Youxi sat up abruptly. "What do you mean by 'passing through walls'? Can't you see where she is right now?"
After the last incident, Shi Youxi learned his lesson and obtained the latest location tracking device from Liguo. It can be ingested and can only be excreted from the body by taking specific acid capsules.
In the morning, he watched his sister eat the breakfast that had a tracking device attached to it.
“I can tell,” the bodyguard said, standing in the room opposite the target suite. He followed the red dot and bumped straight into the wall on his side. “It seems like the person in that room has moved into the next room.”
Shi Youxi frowned, "Isn't that instrument three-dimensional?"
The bodyguard exclaimed in surprise, realizing the problem. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Sorry, young master, our equipment hasn't been updated yet..."
A low curse came from the phone.
The bodyguard apologized, feeling wronged. He couldn't be blamed for this. Shi Men had only gradually expanded into the domestic market in the last two years, and basically all of their bases were in the capital. Their presence in Shenzhen and Hong Kong was just for overseeing the port business; they were essentially free-range.
Without proper oversight and sufficient funding, the equipment naturally becomes substandard.
Shi Youxi rubbed his head against the pillow to calm down, and then he solemnly instructed, "Keep an eye on her. Tell me if anything seems amiss, and have someone follow her at all times."
"Yes, young master."
Shi Youxi curled up like a cocoon, clutching her pillow, but couldn't fall asleep. The bedsheets had been changed by the maid that morning, and the scent of her older sister was so faint that she couldn't smell it.
He got out of bed to take his medicine, but then remembered someone's warning.
Tsk, there's nothing I can do...
The boy hesitated for a moment by the bed, then walked towards the walk-in closet in the woman's bedroom...
After hanging up the phone, the bodyguard on the other end suddenly realized that his statement might not have been quite correct, so he compared it with the position on the detector.
The little red dot didn't pass through the walls of one suite; it seemed the woman went directly to the suite next door.
But then he thought, it's not strange that rich people can book as many rooms as they like.
It shouldn't be a big problem...
...
"You woke up on time, Xiao Ran." Rebecca looked at the woman who had opened her eyes on the bed and took notes on the iPad.
Mu Yiran looked at the familiar bedroom ceiling, slowly exhaled, and felt a surge of excitement that made her head throb.
If you can successfully travel back, it means that this method of time travel is effective.
She pulled her hand out from under the covers, still clutching the jade pendant and the photo in her palm. As long as these things didn't disappear, she could keep traveling back and forth between the two worlds.
"Get up and eat first. You'll need to fill out a form later; it's related to whether you can continue taking this medication." Rebecca opened the door to the room, then suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, who is Xiao Xi?"
"ah?"
“You would talk from time to time while you were asleep, and the word you uttered most clearly was ‘Xiao Xi’.” Rebecca raised an eyebrow. “Is it the younger brother you’ve been talking about, the one you raised?”
Mu Yiran nodded and smiled, "Yes, it's him."
Rebecca didn't say anything more. She closed the door and went downstairs. When she was filling out the observation record again, she suddenly remembered where she had heard this name before. In her dream, Mu Yiran not only called out "Xiao Xi" but also "Shi You Xi".
Although it was hard to hear clearly, the pronunciation sounded very similar to the name of the young master of the Shi family. This medicine was also obtained through the channels of Liguo Shimen.
But it's probably just a similar name.
After all, the young master of the Shi family is older than Mu Yiran, how could he possibly be her adopted younger brother...?
Mu Yiran sat in the restaurant, eating and replying to messages. Apart from Mo Mumu's usual crazy chat, there were no other messages. Lu Tingyi's chat box was covered with red dots, but Mu Yiran didn't even look at them. She hadn't added any members of the Wen family, and her message interface was exceptionally clean.
She had long been used to this quiet, but for some reason, looking at Mo Mumu's chat box, she kept wanting to click on it.
In Cheng Ran's WeChat, Shi Youxi was the only one pinned to the top. The boy would send her all sorts of messages every day, and if Mu Yiran didn't reply, he would spam her feed.
Even though I've become more mature and composed now, the childishness in my bones hasn't changed at all.
Handing the watch to Rebecca, Mu Yiran cautiously spoke while observing the woman's expression: "Um, could we discuss this?"
Rebecca didn't even lift her eyelids. "You want that medicine, right?"
Mu Yiran nodded repeatedly, "Didn't you say this has basically no side effects? So, as long as my tests show no problems, I can't take it for a long time...?"
"No, getting hooked on this kind of addictive stuff is like taking drugs."
"Then a few more!" The other person's sharp gaze made Mu Yiran shut up in fear. "Three... isn't enough."
One meal is equivalent to a month of time travel, and Mu Yiran thought she should make sure to last until Shi Youxi finished his self-study exams.
By then, Cheng Ran's deal with Shi Yan will be over, and Mu Yi Ran won't need to stay in that time and space anymore. She can't keep occupying Cheng Ran's body for so long.
"Please, Rebecca~ I'm begging you, you're the most understanding psychologist of all. I'll definitely make you a banner after the treatment is over! Just let me eat a few more times, please." Mu Yiran clung to the woman's arm and pleaded coquettishly.
The girl was already beautiful, and her bright eyes looked at her pitifully. As a woman herself, Rebecca couldn't resist and finally relented after a while, saying, "I don't need any banners. It depends on your physical condition."
"There are three more tests to go, and each test result must be satisfactory."
"That's considered an agreement," Mu Yiran nodded frantically, suppressing the upward curve of her lips.
Since Mu Yiran was going to stay home for a week, and Ruibeike couldn't stay by her side all day, she called the security company and changed the villa's password.
Recalling Wen Qingyu's furtive gaze from yesterday, Mu Yiran felt a chill run down her spine and headed towards her parents' room...
Shenzhen and Hong Kong, April 26, 2016.
Ai Ni poured water into the medicine. She heard footsteps behind her, and a woman wearing a mask came out. Ai Ni picked up the thermos and said with concern, "Madam, your cold has gotten worse. Why don't we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Redheart didn't make much eye contact with her. He coughed a few times and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, I'll be fine after taking medicine for a few days. You should stay away from me, I'm afraid I'll infect you."
She followed Cheng Ran's advice and visited the branch office every day. As things stand, the girl doesn't seem to suspect anything, so there's no need for her to fake illness and stay in bed.
The two women left the suite, and the door opposite them opened as well. The man stared blankly at the two women for a moment, and only after their figures disappeared into the elevator did he hurriedly run back to his room.
The little red dot on the electronic device remained in the same spot, unmoved.
The man immediately dialed a number. "Young Master, something seems wrong."
