Chapter 1139: A Bystander Used as Cannon Fodder in the Wireless Stream Dimension (62)
He relived every detail of his time with Miaomiao during the day, his heart pounding wildly with extreme infatuation.
He knew that this "wonderful wonder" was not the same as that "wonderful wonder".
In the mirror world, he had vaguely noticed the subtle differences between the two. After all, he had no affection for Tan Jiashu's sister when he was outside, but in that world, he was so infatuated that he couldn't control himself. Calling it the suspension bridge effect was a bit of a stretch.
A person's consciousness and even physical form can change in that world, let alone being replaced.
However, Miaomiao's affection for Tan Jiashu at that time made him doubt himself for a moment, or rather, at least his Miaomiao could not sever ties with her family in this world, but this difference was still glaringly clear.
Especially in front of the mirror world, even though Tan Jiashu said more than once that his sister was highly skilled in combat and only had a gentle and ladylike face, Xie Chenzhou could not compare the two. Her messy short hair and clear eyes when she looked at him were not like the girl who confessed to him, but exactly the same as Miaomiao he saw after returning to the real world.
How can a person be completely different before and after falling into a coma, or how can their demeanor change so drastically?
Xie Chenzhou understood that the Tan family hadn't noticed anything amiss at all; on the contrary, he, who had never interacted with Tan Jiashu's sister, was the first to notice something was wrong.
In particular, the way Miaomiao looked at him in the mirror world and in the real world—although Xie Chenzhou didn't want to use this as evidence, during the previous confession, the girl's affection for him was almost evident in her eyes. He wasn't blind, he just didn't care.
But not long after, when she saw him again, there was no longer any affection in her eyes. There wasn't even a trace of expectation.
Xie Chenzhou absolutely refused to believe that his memory could be wrong, so what he was thinking might actually be true...
But who cares about her? Who cares if she's changed her personality? As long as it's Miaomiao, she can only be his, and he is hers too.
Now, the only thing he needs to confirm is whether this "special Miaomiao" still holds memories of the mirror world.
That was their shared experience, the bond between them, and the bargaining chip he used to completely bind her to his side.
Miaomiao has always been soft-hearted; as long as he's pitiful enough, she'll definitely not let him lose her...
He was really eager to know the answer...
The next day, just as dawn was breaking and the sky was beginning to lighten, Assistant Qian, sporting heavy dark circles under his eyes, sat in the car waiting for their CEO.
Yesterday, the president went crazy and didn't go to work all day. As his special assistant, although I wouldn't be so busy that I lost my composure, this was the first time the president had acted so rebelliously, and it really made me work overtime until I was on the verge of collapse.
To avoid being stood up by the CEO again, he waited in the Xie family's garage at 5 a.m., but when he finally went to wake the CEO at 7 a.m., the housekeeper, who arrived late, told him that CEO Xie had already driven away at 4 a.m.
Assistant Qian rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling nothing but despair.
This domineering CEO, who prioritizes work above all else and feels he'll die if he doesn't, has finally gone completely crazy...
Meanwhile, at the Tan family villa, the aroma of breakfast was just wafting from the kitchen when the doorbell rang precisely at the entrance.
Aunt Tan was the first to wake up and had already heard from Aunt Li that Xie Chenzhou had come to their house for dinner...
Mrs. Tan didn't know what to say. Although she had comforted Miaomiao before, she knew very well that while Miaomiao was a good match for the outstanding man from the Xie family, he was too excellent and therefore not a good match.
Everyone else says that women should marry into a wealthy family, but she thinks that if she finds someone from a slightly lower social class and someone who is good-looking, she can pamper her daughter better and rely on her in-laws for a living. This way, the couple's relationship will definitely be good.
This is her standard for a son-in-law; Xie Chenzhou is too good, which makes him unsuitable.
But even though that's what she thought in her heart, she still prioritized her daughter's thoughts and didn't show much emotion on her face.
"A sunken ship? So early?"
"Auntie, I bought a house nearby before, so I stopped by to take a look at the house and have breakfast at your house while waiting for Jiashu."
Xie Chenzhou nodded slightly, his tone impeccably gentle, but a hint of barely suppressed urgency lurked in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he didn't enter the house until seven o'clock, but his young lady hadn't gotten up yet. According to Li, the housekeeper, their young lady had recently been required to get up at 7:30, so it seemed he had arrived too early.
Unfortunately, he didn't enter the house until seven o'clock, but his young lady was still not up. According to the housekeeper, Li, their young lady had been strictly instructed by the madam to get up at 7:30 since she fell into a coma. It seems he was too early.
Xie Chenzhou suppressed the surging anxiety in his heart, patiently sat in the living room, then took out his phone and gently typed a few words and sent them out, his eyes frequently glancing towards the stairwell, as if every minute and every second of waiting was a slow torture of his patience.
He had already exhausted all his self-control to wait downstairs from four in the morning until seven. Now that the person was so close, he still had to wait on the other side of the floor because of etiquette. His crazy desire was about to break through the cage of reason.
Fortunately, the text message worked. Tan's mother, who had been warmly welcoming him, suddenly received a phone call and, out of politeness, got up to answer it on the balcony.
Perhaps, they won't come back within ten minutes.
The gentleness in Xie Chenzhou's eyes vanished instantly, leaving only naked obsession and urgency. He almost immediately got up, his steps extremely light, and followed the direction he remembered, heading straight for Miaomiao's bedroom on the third floor.
He used to occasionally visit the Tan family to see Tan Jiashu, but not often. Apart from yesterday, the last time was when he was twelve years old.
So, it's not unreasonable for someone who doesn't come here often to occasionally forget his good friend's room number.
But his steps as he left carried an almost imperceptible urgency, as if he couldn't wait even a moment longer.
"Knock Knock Knock-"
The regular knocking broke the tranquility of the third floor...
Inside the bedroom, Miaomiao was sleeping soundly when the sudden noise disturbed her peaceful slumber. She sobbed as she got out of bed, her hair a mess like a little frizzy puff. She glanced at her phone and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.
It seemed to be time to meet her mother, and Miaomiao mumbled a reply towards the door, still half asleep.
"Okay, Mom... I'm up..."
But the person knocking seemed not to hear them, continuing to knock persistently and rhythmically.
Miaomiao sighed, too lazy to change her clothes, so she put on a loose pink cotton pajama set and soft slippers, and slowly walked over to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Miaomiao froze, and most of the sleepiness in her eyes vanished instantly.
The person standing at the door wasn't her mother as she thought, but Xie Chenzhou.
At this moment, the man was staring intently at her, his gaze so intense it seemed to want to envelop her entirely.
