"Kiss me, right now."
“...”
As the boy's low, hoarse voice disappeared, Mu Yiran's ears instantly started ringing.
What is this guy saying?
qin...qin what?
Overloaded with brain capacity, a flash of white light passed through her mind, and Mu Yiran stared with dazed, uneven eyes.
...Invade...me?!
Invading me?!
Violation of me?!
The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened like copper bells, and Shi Youxi could even see the seven words "Are you out of your mind?!" in those brown pupils.
Shi Youxi's eyes darkened, and before she could react, he lowered his head directly with a clear objective—
And then, unsurprisingly, it failed.
"You brat! Don't you need a beating?!" Mu Yiran cursed through gritted teeth!
His right hand, which seemed to be caressing Shi Youxi intimately, gripped the pink hair at the back of Shi Youxi's head tightly, and his trembling breath made his lips feel hot and numb.
Shi Youxi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he lowered his head to touch the small mole so close to his nose, saying, "According to the plot, you should indeed punish me now, sister."
"Skip! Skip the plot!"
Mu Yiran didn't care about the plot or the deadly woman outside the door! This job was impossible to do!
Shi Youxi replied, "It's too late."
As soon as the words were spoken, the sound of high heels, which made one's nerves tense, came to a stop outside the door.
At the same time, a series of calls from the blonde woman rang on her phone.
One wave after another, it's a truly joyous and deadly carnival.
Mu Yiran had never been this nervous, not even when she cheated on the entrance exam using the student handbook!
And to make matters worse, there's a male demon who's the most tormenting thing right next to my ear!
The fairy frowned, glanced at the figure outside the transparent glass of the door, and said in a serious tone:
"Sister, please help me! There's someone behind them. If we don't take them down, they'll pose a huge threat to the Shi Clan."
He pursed his lips, his tone lowering, "As long as the threat persists, there will always be people bullying me."
"..."
Mu Yiran's struggling movements stopped.
Shi Youxi, seizing her weakness, continued, "Didn't you just say you were going to protect me?"
Mu Yiran: "You...I..."
The two locked eyes, and Shi Youxi was the first to turn her head away, pursing her lips in a cold sneer: "...As expected, you lied to me again."
Mu Yiran: "..."
ge! an! Gan!
Mu Yiran closed her eyes, feeling utterly hopeless; that was the only thing she could do...
At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and the owner of the room, wearing high heels, pushed the door open and entered.
Mu Yiran lunged forward!
"Shi Youxi, are you alright—"
"Creak!" The small hospital bed couldn't bear the strain and made a weak sound.
"......."
The woman's soft body pressed firmly against him, her dark hair cascading down to his sides like a waterfall. At this moment, Shi Youxi's entire world consisted only of her.
So soft...
It's soft everywhere.
She's very thin, but how come she... weighs much more than I expected?
Shi Youxi hadn't seen her from this angle in a long time. His hand, which was instinctively protecting the woman's waist, slowly curled into a fist, and a surge of heat rose from his body.
As Mu Yiran directed and acted out two "pop" sounds, just as she was about to deliver her lines in a high-pitched voice, she noticed that the person beneath her had an abnormally red face.
It's like it's been boiled.
Mu Yiran touched his cheek with the back of her hand. "Are you alright?"
She shifted her waist slightly, and the next moment, the words caught in her throat. Mu Yiran stared blankly at Shi Youxi beneath her.
The boy's eyes were so dark they seemed to lose all light, and his voice was so hoarse it was barely audible: "Sister..."
"What are you doing!"
A young woman screamed from behind, and then Mu Yiran felt a sharp pain in her shoulder as she was pulled up.
Upon seeing Shi Youxi's face on the bed, Helian Xin's eyes widened, and her exquisite makeup couldn't maintain her ferocious expression. She raised her hand to strike Mu Yiran!
"Where did this bitch come from again—Mu...Mu Yiran?!" A hint of fear flashed in Helian Xin's eyes as she stared intently at the woman's face.
How could this be...?
How could Mu Yiran still be alive!
She's not already!
Mu Yiran snapped out of her daze and looked at Helian Xin, who was even more beautiful and mature than a year ago, and said:
"You know me?"
Helian retorted swiftly, "I don't know you! Who said I know you!"
Mu Yiran raised an eyebrow: "............I said it?"
"Ahem, Ran." A woman interrupted.
A blonde woman, who had appeared at the door of the ward at some unknown time, looked at the people beside the hospital bed with concern.
Seeing Shi Youxi awake, the blonde woman's eyes flashed with resentment. "What happened? Is Shi alright?"
"......"
The way she spoke was so charming that Mu Yiran almost fell in love with this kind and understanding older sister.
"Need help? Ran?"
The blonde woman followed Shi Youxi's gaze and looked at Mu Yiran.
She arrived too late and didn't see what happened or why Helian Xin was there.
I thought Mu Yiran, that good-for-nothing, had ruined this rare opportunity, but now look at Shi Youxi's eyes...
They must have just done something!
We absolutely have to ask Mu Yiran properly!
"fine..."
Mu Yiran blocked the blonde woman's gaze that kept scrutinizing Shi Youxi, and instantly felt a burning stare on her back, as if the back of her head was being stared through.
ah....
Mu Yiran bit her lip and forced a smile as she said to Helian Xin, "You're Shi Youxi's friend, right? You two chat first, I'll go call the doctor."
Before the two could react, Mu Yiran affectionately hooked her arm around the blonde woman's, "Let's go, uh..." She glanced at the employee ID badge around the blonde woman's neck, "Administrative Management - Tessa".
Mu Yiran gave a forced smile: "Tessa, come with me, I'll show you around the hospital!"
Tessa: "..."
SJB, right?! What's so interesting about visiting a hospital?!
But she still went out with Mu Yiran.
The ward door closed, and through the small glass window, Mu Yiran secretly peeked inside. Shi Youxi had already sat up, listening to Helian Xin speak with her familiar grumpy face.
It's like nothing just happened...
"What exactly happened?!"
Upon reaching the hospital's emergency stairwell, Tessa immediately shook off Mu Yiran's hand and patted her sleeve, which Mu Yiran had touched, as if it had come into contact with something dirty.
Mu Yiran casually replied, "What do you mean, 'what happened'? It's just that."
Tessa raised her eyebrows and spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"You didn't do as I said? Didn't I tell you to sleep with him? Can't you understand human language or what?"
Mu Yiran, however, seemed a little absent-minded, staring out the window, her gaze not settling on anything.
"I just did what you said, and you're blaming me for being late and not seeing it? Ugh!"
Tessa pinched her chin and turned her face towards her, the silver ornaments on her nails digging into Mu Yiran's skin until it turned red.
"Don't give me excuses! If you didn't do it, you didn't do it! You're useless! It's been a week, and you haven't even dug up anything of value. You've squandered such a rare opportunity!"
Seeing the pain on her face, Tessa felt even more disgusted.
"Now you know how to cry and play the victim? Why are you putting on airs when I ask you to seduce Shi Youxi? Weren't you quite the flirt before? You can't handle Shi Youxi? You don't actually like him, do you? Ha... You're just a hostess, and you've already decided to sell yourself, so why pretend to be virtuous!"
"Smack!"
Mu Yiran couldn't stand it anymore and slapped her hand away.
Tessa was clearly surprised by the force of the blow. She covered the back of her hand and glared at the attacker.
"Mu Yiran, are you looking for death! You think I'm wrong! You can't stand the truth, can you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right!"
Mu Yiran rubbed her chin. "But this time the person is Shi Youxi. As you said, several colleagues have already been implicated before me."
"Is he that easy to hook?"
"If he really opened up to you just because you slept with him once, you would have dominated the Time Gate long ago."
Tessa: "..."
This doesn't sound like a compliment.
Looking out the window, she saw that the red mark on her chin had faded considerably. Mu Yiran straightened her collar and said, "If you want a good outcome, don't rush me, and don't force me to use those old-fashioned ways of flirting, like bringing coffee or getting drunk."
Mu Yiran tossed a strand of hair, her confidence shining through: "I have my own rhythm."
"Heh... What's your rhythm? Playing with your life?" Tessa sneered, took out her phone and opened a video.
The boy's painful screams rang out instantly, and Mu Yiran frowned and looked over.
It was Mu Yiran's younger brother, about eleven or twelve years old, with a thin build. Compared to the photos Tesa sent last time, the boy was even more battered and bruised this time.
In the video, he is wearing ill-fitting clothes that look like those of a waiter, and is being beaten by a burly black man, while the person recording the video acts like a bystander.
Enjoy this wonderful performance of child abuse.
"ah!"
The boy's clothes were torn, and the beating by the black man began to take a turn for the worse.
Mu Yiran's pupils contracted, and she reached out to snatch it, but Tesa pushed her away forcefully.
"Mu Yiran, you want to do things at your own pace, but your younger brother doesn't seem to be able to wait."
Forcing herself not to watch the scene in the video, Mu Yiran's voice tightened, "I did everything you asked! It's just the timing that was wrong! What does it have to do with the child!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Tessa clicked her tongue and shook her head. "If the Time Gate finds out your identity and the mission fails, your brother will be the first to go see the Grim Reaper in your place."
Mu Yiran took a deep breath, trying her best to pretend to be Mu Yiran: "You know I only have one younger brother. If anything happens to him, I don't mind fighting to the death!"
Tessa raised an eyebrow, unconcerned. "A fight to the death? Heh, what kind of net do you have to break? You haven't even managed to get a grip on Shi Youxi's pants yet, and you dare to claim you've latched onto a powerful figure?"
He pinched her cheek and shook it. Tessa's alluring red lips were like a snake's tongue, cold and piercing.
"Behave yourself! Don't have any unrealistic ideas. Do a good job, and if you succeed, you and your brother will both be free. As the older sister, you can't let your brother, who harmed you, end up selling his body like you, can you?"
Mu Yiran closed her eyes briefly, then suddenly made up her mind, "Okay, I will do as you say... I definitely won't let you down!"
Tessa originally wanted to deliver a few more classic villainous lines to her, but then she saw someone and abandoned her.
Mu Yiran stood there in a daze for a while. She opened the hidden album, which contained many photos of Mu Yiran and her family, all of which were very old.
It's clear that Mu Yiran cares a lot about her younger brother; in every picture, the two siblings are holding hands.
At least she has family in the photo.
Tsk... never mind!
Acting is fine; it can help Shi Youxi catch the traitor and indirectly save a life—it couldn't be better.
It's just acting with Shi Youxi! It's just acting! She can act with Shi Youxi's father, so why can't she act with Shi Youxi, whom she watched grow up! Besides, Mu Yiran might show up in a few days!
Anyway, it's not like she and Shi Youxi are really together!
right!
That's what we'll do!
"I'm such a beast! No... I'm such a helpful and kind girl!"
After mentally clearing her head, Mu Yiran headed back to the ward with a strong will, walking past the doctor's office without a care in the world.
After taking a few steps, I braked suddenly, turned around, and went into the office.
"The fever has subsided, but he needs proper care. I've prescribed some medication. As for the blood test results..."
The Chinese-American female doctor noticed an abnormal value in one of the columns and, recalling the copy of Guan Yi's most private medical record that she had just been unable to access, pursed her lips and said:
"The blood test results were normal, and my diet and sleep schedule are regular. That's all."
She printed out the prescription and handed it over. The female doctor then went to do other things. A few seconds later, she sensed that something was wrong.
"Why are you still here? Is there another problem?"
Mu Yiran took a breath and scurried closer, "Doctor, I want to ask you something, is it possible for boys to have a fever..."
She licked her lips, the word burning in her throat, "Wouldn't it be..."
The female doctor asked expressionlessly, "Could it be something?"
"It's... you know!"
The female doctor started twirling her pen: "Which one?"
Mu Yiran: "That...that one!"
The female doctor crossed her legs and changed her question, "Whose? Your student's?"
Your student...
student……
Holy crap!
Mu Yiran suddenly snapped out of her daze and shook her head haphazardly, "No, no! I meant me, me! Hehe, I want to ask if it's contagious."
"But probably not! Haha, thank you, doctor! I'm going to get my medicine!"
After fleeing the scene in a panic, Mu Yiran retrieved Shi Youxi's medicine from the pharmacy and stood at the door of the ward without going in.
She still... couldn't face Shi Youxi!
After agonizing over her actions for a while, Mu Yiran decided to turn to Baidu for help.
Feeling guilty, she squatted down and typed out the search bar word by word:
Is it normal for a boy to have a reaction when he has a fever?
Baidu's health advice states: "When you have a fever, your body temperature is too high, causing nervous tension and increased excitability, which may lead to an erection. This is a normal reaction."
It's a normal reaction...
It's normal!
So it has nothing to do with her!
As expected! She was overthinking it!
Mu Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when she felt a gust of wind behind her.
Shi Youxi bent down and leaned close to the top of the woman's head, his voice tinged with laughter.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
