It was Pei Ying.
Huo Qizheng frowned slightly. Although he was certain that the woman in his arms was not Zhu Shuangyao, and was not even a real person, Pei Ying didn't know that. He was just an ordinary person, and if he saw this, it would be another hassle.
He glanced at the body in his arms with disgust. Zhu Shuangyao hated ginger the most. So every time he made steamed spare ribs, she would always add, "Put ginger water, but no ginger!"
But today, she just meekly said that she'd eat anything he cooked.
He had never given her the bracelet on her right hand either, because the bracelet on her right hand was a self - defense tool given to her by her family.
This should be a bionic robot exchanged from an infinite space. Once injected with memories, it could imitate a person perfectly.
However, bionic robots were not native to this world. Under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao in this world, this bionic robot could only be injected with a general memory framework and needed regular maintenance.
Details from a long time ago, like whether he had given her the bracelet or not, could cause memory confusion for the bionic robot. With just a little probe, one could tell something was wrong.
But if the bionic robot was here, where was Zhu Shuangyao?
Huo Qizheng tightened his hand slightly, and power gathered in his palm. He closed his eyes and tried to sense Zhu Shuangyao's trace, but not only could he not find her trace, he couldn't even sense her aura.
He blamed himself for being too over - confident. He had taken the words of the man in black lightly at that time. If he had rushed back earlier instead of being so confident in his own strength, maybe Zhu Shuangyao would never have had an accident.
Huo Qizheng's face darkened as he clenched his fists tightly.
Pei Ying was still knocking on the door outside: "Huo Qizheng, I saw you come back just now. If you don't open the door, I'll use my key!"
Huo Qizheng replied loudly, "I'm in the kitchen. Stop shouting!"
He forcefully folded the body in his arms until it was as small as a drawer and stuffed it into the kitchen cabinet. Then he cleaned up the traces in the living room before opening the door for Pei Ying.
Pei Ying stormed in, "It took you so long! What did you do to Yaoyao?"
Huo Qizheng rarely showed any expression in front of him and paid little attention to his questions, "Yaoyao's not here. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Huo Qizheng's aura was so powerful that Pei Ying subconsciously answered his question, "Actually, it's nothing much. Niannian and Xingxing sent us something."
He opened the small box in his hand. Inside was a beautiful bracelet. "I got a necklace, and Yaoyao's got a bracelet. Niannian said they're a pair. She'll make a separate one for me later. My parents also got one, and it's already been sent to them."
As he spoke, Pei Ying seemed to remember something happy, and a sweet smile appeared on his face. But then he saw Huo Qizheng with a gloomy face in front of him and quickly sobered up. Then he continued, "They told us to wear them all the time, even when taking a shower. I don't know what these things are, but we should just listen to Niannian."
Hearing that the two bracelets were a pair, Huo Qizheng's face turned even uglier. He took the box from Pei Ying's hand, "Thanks for bringing something for Yaoyao. She hasn't come back yet. I'll give it to her when she does. Goodbye."
After taking the box, Huo Qizheng closed the door without mercy. If Pei Ying hadn't stepped back quickly enough, the door would have hit his nose.
Pei Ying touched his nose as he looked at the closed door, "You're so possessive. Let's see when Yaoyao will get fed up with you."
Huo Qizheng disposed of the bionic robot in the kitchen cabinet. He forcefully crushed it and kneaded it into a small box.
The suppression on outsiders like them in this world was getting looser and looser. He didn't know if it was a good or a bad thing.
After dealing with the robot, Huo Qizheng gathered power in his hand again and tried to find a trace of Zhu Shuangyao's aura through the body of the bionic robot.
So where was Zhu Shuangyao at this moment?
"Lan Zhen, Lan Zhen, wake up!"
Zhu Shuangyao was being shaken constantly. She woke up groggily, "What's wrong, Mr. Huo... Don't be so rough..."
"What Mr. Huo! Lan Zhen, let me tell you, if you act like a diva again this time, even if you have a patron, you'll be buried in obscurity!"
This sharp warning immediately woke Zhu Shuangyao up. She suddenly came to her senses and finally saw the face of the woman in front of her clearly.
The woman was about thirty years old, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She wore gold - rimmed glasses and a small suit. Her eyes sparkled, looking smart and capable.
Zhu Shuangyao asked calmly, "What's going on?"
The woman was angry, "What's going on? I finally managed to get you this magazine spread, but you acted like a diva on set. You didn't even understand simple words, and then you just went into the lounge to sleep! If you don't want to do it, just say so! I'll drop you and take on someone else!"
Just as the woman was scolding her, a girl with a delicate face and innocent eyes rushed in and said to the woman, "Sister Song, they promised to give Sister Lan half an hour to rest, but if she still refuses to shoot after half an hour, they'll replace her."
Song Nan took a deep breath and said to Zhu Shuangyao, "Do you understand? Are you going to shoot or not?"
Since Zhu Shuangyao hadn't figured out the situation yet, she naturally agreed first, "Okay, I'll shoot."
Song Nan then asked, "Are you still going to act like a big - shot star?"
Zhu Shuangyao of course followed her words, "I dare not, Sister Song. I'll shoot well."
Only then was Song Nan satisfied, "Fine. Take this half an hour to get yourself together. I'll wait for you outside the door."
Zhu Shuangyao nodded. After Song Nan left, she immediately found a mirror in the lounge.
In the mirror was a beautiful face. A oval face, phoenix - like eyes, fair skin, cherry - red lips. She looked like a charming temptress, but with Zhu Shuangyao's innocent eyes, she was as pure as a lily with dewdrops on it.
This wasn't her face!
What was going on? Had she time - traveled again? But if she had time - traveled, what would happen to Mr. Huo?
Zhu Shuangyao quickly checked the things around her. She had rich experience in verifying whether she had time - traveled or not.
She found a recent magazine and checked the names of people and places in it. They were indeed the names from the world where Mr. Huo was.
She then wanted to find her phone, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find it. Zhu Shuangyao pursed her lips and ran her fingers through her hair impatiently.
Wait, what was this smell? It seemed to be... coming from herself.
Zhu Shuangyao sniffed the smell on her body. Wasn't this the smell of the ointment Mr. Huo had applied on her before?
She quickly lifted her clothes to check her body. The bruises from the fall when she got home were still there, and so was the ointment on her body.
So her body was still hers, but her face wasn't? Why? How could this happen?
No, no, no. The most urgent thing was to find Mr. Huo quickly. She had disappeared suddenly. She didn't even want to think about how worried Mr. Huo must be.
At the same time, Song Nan outside the door sighed deeply. The delicate - faced girl knew that Sister Song was worried about Lan Zhen again and comforted her, "I think Sister Lan knows she was wrong. Otherwise, her attitude wouldn't be so good."
Song Nan smiled bitterly, "Who knows if she really knows she was wrong? Xiaowen, can a person really change so much all of a sudden?"
Zhao Wen had been with Lan Zhen since her debut. Hearing what Sister Song said, she felt a bit sad too. She shook her head, "I don't know either."
Song Nan smiled and said nothing more. She remembered when Lan Zhen had just debuted.
At that time, Lan Zhen was beautiful and had a good personality. Song Nan had been at a low point in her life then, and Lan Zhen had actively approached her, saying that she wanted to repay her kindness and become an artist under her.
