Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Tang Xi felt her heart ache. He thought that he must have gotten news of him emailing the board of directors, telling them that he was traveling abroad alone, that's why he won't be returning to China for now. He must have found his IP location and thus came to Long Beach.

He nodded and said, “Oke, we'll be back home in a few days. Let's go back for dinner first. How long have you not eaten?”

He was skinny before, but now he had become thinner and only had skin and bones left. His heart thumped to see him become like this.

Qiao Liang's eyes twinkled to hear him agree. He led her to the villa as he said, "Okay, let's go back for dinner."

Back home, Qiao Liang asked Tang Xi to watch TV on the sofa as she went to cook. Little Five and Little Six saw Qiao Liang speaking silently: You can watch TV here, and I'll prepare your favorite seafood dinner for you. The two of them looked at each other in silence and thought to themselves—has the Boss gone mad?

Qiao Liang looked back only to find that the two of them were gaping at him from a corner of the living room, while Little Six was still holding the laptop in her hands. He scowled and asked coldly, “What are you doing here? Go work!”

Qiao Liang thought sadly that they were completely unreasonable! Didn't they see his Xixi here?

Little Five and Little Six nodded hurriedly and quickly ran out. They stood in the garden and looked at each other. "Boss seems to be crazy."

"The hallucinations seem to be worse today." Little Five looked worried as she said this. "She was fine the day before yesterday, when she was only possessed from time to time, but now she seemed to be convinced that Miss Tang was around her."

Little Six said, “Boss has not eaten anything for the past two days. He must be too hungry to be sane.”

Tang Xi came out with the two of them. He listened to their conversation and looked back at Qiao Liang. He behaved as if he was still sitting on the sofa, smiling in that direction as he cooked.

Tang Xi suddenly realized that what she saw was not her at all, but a figment of her own imagination, and the words she spoke happened to be consistent with her delusion.

At this thought, Tang Xi was sad. If he continued like this, he would destroy himself one day!

He had to find a way to tell her of his whereabouts! He rushed in to attract Qiao Liang's attention, but Qiao Liang could not see him at all. He just said towards the sofa, “Wait a minute, prawn sauce chives and lobster will be ready soon.”

Tang Xi tried to grab the cooking tool in her hand, but she couldn't even touch it. He reached out to knock down the glass in the bar, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch the glass…

That's not gonna work. He can't do it. He had to return to Xiao Rou's body to get in touch with her again…

But how did he come back?!

Tang Xi closed her eyes and wanted to return, but no matter how hard she tried, when she opened her eyes, she still saw Qiao Liang making food for her in the kitchen. He can't go back.

Brother Xiao had never smoked, but now in the corridor, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa both had cigarettes in their mouths with worried expressions on their faces. Xiao Jing smoked her cigarette deeply and said in a low voice, “When I came home this morning, Mom and Dad asked again. I don't think we can keep it from them much longer. Anyway, I met Auntie at the door again.”

Xiao Sa frowned, sucked his cigarette deeply and reflected his smoke. “We could barely hide it from Yao as well. He asked me if Rourou had an accident since last night.”

A nurse came and warned them not to smoke. The two brothers switched off their cigarettes and threw them in the trash. Just then, the door of the ward opened and a severely injured Xiao Yao stepped out. He looked at the two brothers deeply, and asked coldly, "The room where Rourou is?"

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked at each other. Xiao Sa quickly smiled, ran to support Xiao Yao and shouted, “Yao, what are you talking about? Rourou has to go to school lately and has no time to visit you. You can call her if you miss her.”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Yao, but you can't get out of bed right now. Go back and lie down, okay?”

Xiao Yao stared with a frown at his brothers, who were clearly acting abnormal, before slightly leaning against the wall and after throwing a threatening look at them, he said in a serious manner, “Don't make me ask again. Tell me what happened to Rourou!”

The two brothers exchanged looks. Xiao Sa shrugged and Xiao Jing said, “Let's talk inside the ward. In Here…"

Xiao Yao turned around to walk into the ward and the two brothers quickly followed him. Xiao Sa helped Xiao Yao to lie on the bed, tidied up the bed and placed two pillows under Xiao Yao's head.

Xiao Jing came over, sat down on the black leather sofa and said solemnly, “Yao, actually, we also have no idea what happened to Rourou. That day, he suddenly came back to tell us that you went to J City for your mission. He also told us about your identity and said that you might be in danger this time.”

“We asked how he knew about it,” Xiao Sa said. “He said that his computer skills were good, so he managed to hack into the Special Forces database. I didn't believe it at first, but much of what he said matched what I knew.”

Xiao Yao frowned and looked at the two. Xiao Sa continued, "Around 3pm, he suddenly said that something bad happened to you, and then he just disappeared from the living room." Xiao Sa still felt shock as he recalled that scene. He finished, "She just disappeared, not even wearing shoes ..."

Xiao Yao nodded as he remembered how he had suddenly disappeared before Xiao Sa's eyes. "Then?"

“Rourou once said that she was a fairy,” Xiao Jing said. “So we thought Rourou must have gone to save you. We set up the hospital and called him, but as soon as he hung up, he brought you back to City A from City J. Who else has that ability except immortal beings?”

“So what happened to Rourou?!” Grunt Xiao Yao. "My answer!"

Xiao Sa pursed his lips, saying, “Don't worry, Yao. We need time to straighten it out..”.

"Then speak quickly!" Xiao Yao bellowed furiously with a frown...
