Xue Lin suddenly stood up in front of the camera, staring intently at the woman on the screen, not missing a single movement or expression from her.
When Xue Lin saw Mu Wenxi hide under the covers, the frown on his face slowly relaxed.
Curled up in the blankets, Mu Wenxi would occasionally peek out to breathe some fresh air before shrinking back into the covers. It was too difficult for her; as a robot, she was always used to holding her breath.
Every time she crawled out of bed, she could see the hidden camera. Mu Wenxi gradually realized that no matter what she did or where she was, she could not escape the invisible gaze of the camera.
Outside the window, the sun seemed to be shining brightly, yet the window remained tightly welded shut. This invisible sense of oppression often made Mu Wenxi, influenced by the original owner of the body, feel breathless. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the iron chains binding her, something brewing in her mind.
Perhaps this was her first night in this world, and she felt a little bored, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Her habits, cultivated in other worlds, made her love watching dramatic TV series and reading various novels; however, now, she didn't even have a single book by her side. But fortunately, she still had Little A for company.
Xiao A was instructed to watch a good TV series on the system. Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep, and the man who had been watching the monitor turned off the computer.
The next morning, Mu Wenxi woke up naturally. Having made her discovery the day before, she spoke directly to the camera, "What time is it now?"
Sure enough, a clear voice came through very quickly: "Madam, it is eight o'clock now."
Mu Wenxi instructed, "I want breakfast: seafood porridge and steamed buns."
"Yes, madam."
The voices that answered were different from yesterday's, so it seems they are working in shifts.
The young man standing at the door visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to the person next to him, "It's really unexpected. Madam didn't lose her temper today and even specifically requested seafood porridge and xiaolongbao."
Xue Er, standing nearby, nodded slightly: "Tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast as soon as possible, lest Madam changes her mind later, which would be troublesome..."
The other young man was named Xue Yi. He knew that if Xue Er's unfinished words were delayed, the lady might go crazy again.
Thinking of his wife's madness, he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the kitchen: "Prepare breakfast for your wife immediately, it must be seafood porridge with xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and be quick."
In less than five minutes, an elderly woman quickly pushed a food cart to the room door.
Xue Yi asked in surprise, "You're already prepared so quickly?"
The aunt smiled and replied, "My husband instructed us to prepare it early this morning, and we just heated it up."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yi nodded, then used the key to open the door, allowing the aunt to enter smoothly.
Xue Yi: "It has to be the gentleman who understands the lady."
Mu Wenxi was just wondering if she could eat outside her room when she saw the maid push a food cart over, clearly indicating that she should eat in her room.
The maid said respectfully, "Madam, please enjoy your breakfast today."
Mu Wenxi looked at her. This middle-aged woman was over fifty years old and had a hint of nervousness on her face. Mu Wenxi understood that the original owner often vented her emotions during meals and would even occasionally spill food on others.
But now it was her turn, and she naturally wouldn't let her stomach suffer: "Thank you."
The aunt paused for a moment as she was about to step back; this was the first time the lady had expressed her gratitude to her.
Mu Wenxi picked up her chopsticks and began to savor the food. She had to admit that, apart from the seafood porridge and steamed buns she had been longing for, the other breakfast items were also quite good.
Without her noticing, her belly had quietly swelled up. She touched her round belly and said, "Let's go out."
"It is Madam."
A hint of joy flashed across the aunt's face. The lady hadn't gone mad today, which meant there was no need for extra cleaning work. As soon as the aunt stepped out of the room, the bodyguard quickly locked the door securely from the outside.
Mu Wenxi glanced at it and muttered to himself: Is it really necessary? Seriously.
Xue Yi closed the door and realized that most of the food on the food cart had been eaten: "This... Madam actually ate so much!" he murmured in surprise.
Xue Er responded casually from the side, "Mm."
Xue Yi seemed very happy: "We must tell Mr. [the father] this good news; he will be happy."
Xue Er hesitated for a moment: "I think it's better not to tell the master for now."
Considering that the relationship between the wife and husband has been deteriorating recently, what if the wife's change is just a momentary impulse? Wouldn't that make the husband happy for nothing?
Meanwhile, the person he was thinking of was in his office, working on his computer and meticulously reviewing every frame of the video surveillance. Since last night, Xue had keenly noticed a subtle change in Mu Wenxi.
He noticed that Mu Wenxi not only ate a lot of the food on the table, but also gently patted his abdomen after the meal, revealing a satisfied expression.
At this moment, a ripple of emotion, unlike anything he had ever shown before, flickered in his eyes.
Mu Wenxi was in the room, using the abundant resources within the system to pass the time, and the originally monotonous and boring days became less boring.
However, in the eyes of those who were silently observing her behind the surveillance cameras, her life seemed to consist of nothing more than eating and sleeping, day after day, simple and repetitive.
In the afternoon, Xue Yi was standing guard at the door with a serious expression when he unexpectedly bumped into Xue Lin. He was a little surprised, since the master usually didn't come back until eight or nine o'clock in the evening after they changed shifts.
"Sir, you're back very early today."
Upon hearing this, Xue Er glanced at Xue Yi.
Xue Lin calmly instructed, "Have the kitchen prepare a meal for two."
Xue Yi quickly replied, "Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
Then, Xue Yi ran off to the kitchen, leaving Xue Er standing there looking somewhat helpless.
Xue Lin: "How is Madam today?"
After some internal struggle, Xue Er finally stepped forward to report to his husband on his wife's condition today: "Madam has shown no abnormalities today and has been staying quietly in her room. However, she ate her meal very cleanly today."
Xue Lin: "I understand."
Seeing that it was almost time, Mu Wenxi shouted into the camera from the bed, "I want to eat dinner."
The voice came through the walkie-talkie, and not only Xue Yi and Xue Er heard it, but Xue Lin also heard it clearly. He immediately got up and went to Mu Wenxi's room.
Xue Er looked in the direction the master had left and couldn't help but rub his eyes. He had vaguely seen the master's lips curl into a smile just now. Could it be that he had seen it wrong?
Xue Lin opened the door and went inside.
Mu Wenxi was curled up in bed when she heard the noise and involuntarily poked her head out. Her eyes met Xue Lin's in the air. Although she had seen Xue Lin's appearance from the perspective of the original owner before, it was far less shocking than seeing it with her own eyes.
