An Shuyi was woken up by him and sat on the bed. "The flight is at ten o'clock, and it's only eight o'clock now. Isn't it a bit early?"
After saying that, he was about to lie down and go back to sleep, but he was pulled back.
"It takes an hour to get to the airport. By the time you get up and wash up, it will be almost nine o'clock. That's just enough time, not too early. Don't sleep, sleep on the plane, okay?"
Just a few days ago I was full of energy and showed no signs of wanting to stay in bed, but today I've started to want to stay in bed.
"Okay, I'll get up now." I rubbed my eyes, got out of bed, went to get my keys, splashed water on my face to feel refreshed, closed the door, and prepared to take a shower.
From the moment she started washing, she remembered that she hadn't showered before going to bed last night, which was probably because she was too tired. Luckily, she still had some time to shower.
I quickly took a shower, applied body lotion, then put on thermal underwear, followed by wide-leg jeans, a white sweater, a cream-colored cotton coat, and a pair of boots.
When she came out, she took off the hair drying cap and said, "Honey, help me dry my hair." She didn't want to waste time blow-drying her hair, so she started applying skincare products after her hair was dry.
"Have you packed everything? I'm all done."
Xiao Yubai nodded, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of it." As he spoke, he began to check the things in the room, putting her toiletries and skincare products in a basket, and then handed it to her.
I knew she hadn't taken anything; these things were taken from the warehouse, not the hotel's. After taking the items, I picked up her bag and pulled her outside.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Xia Hua and Cheng Yumo waiting at the doorway. I don't know how long they had been waiting.
"Did you oversleep again?" Xia Hua asked as she saw them come out.
Although it was a question, the tone was one of certainty. She could guess that Shushu must have been sleeping in late again, otherwise she wouldn't have come out at this hour.
An Shuyi nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I just lingered in bed for a little while, not for long." She only took a shower, and the time she lingered in bed was very short.
“I know what kind of person you are. Let’s go, or we’ll miss our flight and have to wait until tomorrow. I’ve already called a car and it’s waiting downstairs.”
Around 8 o'clock, seeing that they hadn't come out yet, I guessed that Shushu must be sleeping in, so I called ahead to arrange a car so that we could leave earlier, otherwise we would miss the plane.
"Let's go!" The group went down the elevator together, checked out of the hotel, and took a car to the airport at nine o'clock. An hour later, they arrived at the airport and went to pick up their tickets.
"Didn't you have breakfast?" Xia Hua asked from the side. Before she could answer, she took the bag that Cheng Yumo was carrying and placed it between the two of them.
"There's still some time. Take something to eat to tide you over. Otherwise, after a few hours on the plane, you'll be waiting for food until the afternoon. They have food on the plane, but you won't be used to it."
I didn't hear her reply, and I knew she hadn't eaten breakfast. After all, she had already gotten up late, and if she ate something, she might really miss her flight.
"Okay, have you eaten?" As she spoke, she put her hand in her backpack and took out a mutton bun in a takeout box, along with a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).
"We've already eaten, so you can take yours." They got up early, and since there was food in the warehouse, they finished their breakfast early.
"Okay, honey, you eat first, and let me know if you need more." She gave the steamed bun to her husband before eating her own jianbing guozi.
After finishing their meal, they were able to board the plane. Fortunately, none of them had any luggage, so they could board directly. A few hours later, they arrived in Beijing and headed straight to the parking lot.
Seeing the person about to get into the passenger seat, Xiao Yubai quickly stopped them, "Wife, I'll drive, you sit in the passenger seat." Today is the date of his wife's period, and if it doesn't come tomorrow, they should go to the hospital for a check-up.
Since she's not coming today, it means there's a high chance she won't be able to drive. Just to be on the safe side, it's best not to let her drive.
"Fine, then you drive." An Shuyi said helplessly. She thought she could finally drive the car she had been longing for, but it wasn't possible.
I got into the passenger seat and drove back. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw my parents waiting outside. I quickly got out of the car and said, "Mom and Dad, we're home."
An's mother took a few steps and took her hand, "How are you? Did you encounter any danger? Are you hurt? Although your older brother said he's fine, I'm still worried."
"He just likes to say nice things. Do you think I don't know if there's any danger?"
The eldest son spoke too vaguely and answered questions that were not directly related to the main point. Although it wasn't exactly a lie, I was particularly dissatisfied with his answer.
"They weren't injured, only I was hit on the head by a woman from the lab, but it's not appropriate to talk about it here, let's go inside."
She didn't intend to hide it from her parents, since she knew she couldn't lie if they asked, so she might as well tell the truth, especially since everything was fine now.
"People from the lab, come on in and have a good talk with me." Mother An pulled her into the living room, sat her down, and urged her to speak quickly.
Seeing that the remaining three were still standing outside, An's father had no choice but to call them inside.
An Shuyi and the others sat down and began to speak, "Actually, I was quite wronged in this matter. My brother led people to the island, but they encountered danger and eventually killed those pythons and tigers and returned to the cruise ship."
"My older brother was injured on the back and was scratched by a tiger. Yu Bai helped apply the medicine. A researcher also wanted him to help, but he refused and said some nasty things. In a fit of anger, I beat him to death."
“I wouldn’t have gotten hurt otherwise, but my brother got hurt because of another woman. She pushed him towards the tiger, so he asked my sister-in-law to deal with her.”
"My sister-in-law agreed. When the shooting started, the woman threw something at her, but it missed and hit me on the head instead. That's when I was shot. Guess where I went?"
Seeing An's mother shake her head, she continued, "I've traveled through time again, to the same world as before. It scared me to death, especially since I couldn't come back."
After hearing this, An's mother nodded fearfully, "How long did it take you to come back after you traveled back in time? Hua Hua and Yu Bai must be so worried. And that woman, she can't even hit people accurately."
It's a pity she wasn't there. If she were, she would have killed that woman too. That heartless bastard, at least when she hits someone, she has some aim.
"That's right. I couldn't even hit the right person. I didn't spend much time in that time, only nine days. It was just my soul that went there. My body was just like I was sleeping normally. I only came back because Hua Hua pinched me."
If Hua Hua hadn't pinched her, who knows how long it would have taken her to come back.
"Thank goodness. What would we have done if you hadn't been able to travel back in time? By the way, what about that woman? Did you kill her?"
"He's dead. He was already shot by his sister-in-law, and then Hua Hua fed him drugs. He was as dead as could be."
