Chapter 15 I was definitely not awake!
Beiwei arrived at Xingfu Community again in a military vehicle.
Standing in front of the dilapidated stairwell of Xu Yuan's house, Bei Wei felt a mix of emotions.
This is her second time here.
Last time, Xu Yuan even reported himself as a member of a cult...
Thinking of this, Beiwei couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth twice.
Fate is truly wondrous.
Bevy shook her head, banishing all the complicated thoughts from her mind.
I'm here today on important business!
"Comrade Beiwei, would you like me to accompany you upstairs?"
A voice came from behind Beiwei; it was the driver who brought her here, also a young man with a buzz cut.
Ever since Bevy handed over Future Technology, a small team has been stationed at her home to protect the safety of her family.
This driver was not only responsible for driving, but also for Bevy's safety.
"Need not."
But Bevy waved her hand.
"And your safety...?"
Faced with the young man's concerns, Beiwei simply smiled.
"Don't worry, if it's not safe here, then there's no safe place in the world."
Unfortunately, she couldn't explain too much. Not only was the information about Xu Yuan, the future savior, classified as top secret, but even her own information as a reborn person was only known to a select few at the very top.
Beiwei went up to the fifth floor and knocked on the door of Xuyuan's house.
"Knock knock knock..."
The door opened, and it was Old Xu who opened it.
"Bevy? You're here! Come in quickly."
Old Xu greeted them warmly, his voice so loud it could shake the walls.
At this moment, the three members of the Xu family had finished breakfast and were sitting around the sofa, each fiddling with their phones.
After greeting Lao Xu and Xu Meng respectively, Bei Wei then looked at Xu Yuan.
"Wish, the matter from yesterday has been investigated and clarified..."
Beiwei opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Xuyuan.
"I saw it; it was in the news this morning."
"The mastermind behind this, Cheng Yong, has fled overseas. According to the investigation, Cheng Yong disappeared after getting off the plane."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The person has gone missing; how are we supposed to catch them?"
When Beiwei saw Xu Yuan say this, she quickly waved her hand.
"Xu Yuan, you didn't understand what I meant. If Cheng Yong hadn't fled abroad, we could have arrested him as long as we could find him. But he fled overseas, and even if he reappears, we can't arrest him here because there's no extradition treaty..."
At this point, Beiwei looked at Xuyuan with a hint of trepidation.
But Xu Yuan's reaction was completely unexpected by Bei Wei.
He showed no sign of frustration; on the contrary, his face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were shining.
"Great! If you find out his location, please let me know!"
Bevy: ?
She felt that something was off.
However, due to severe sleep deprivation, her brain began to sluggish at this point.
I have absolutely no idea what's wrong.
Well, if that's the case, then there's no problem!
"Well..." Beiwei took out a stack of papers from her pocket and looked cautiously at Xuyuan, "Shall we register for the job?"
"it is good."
"..."
Seeing that Xu Yuan and Bei Wei were chatting enthusiastically.
Old Xu and Xu Meng exchanged a knowing glance. "Let's go for a walk," Old Xu said, winking as he pulled his daughter along.
"Um... Xiaoyuan, you and Beiwei chat for a while. Xiaomeng and I have something to do, so we'll have to go out for a bit." Old Xu stood up and said, with an ambiguous smile on his face.
Make a wish: ...
What could you two possibly have to do? Where could you be going?
A criminal who has given up his criminal ways, and an academic underachiever.
Go to work or go to school?
Are we still going outside to stand in the scorching sun?
I don't want to expose your little schemes!
That just so happens, he also wants to have an open and honest talk with Beiwei.
"Never mind, let's talk in my room."
After silently rolling her eyes, Xu Yuan led Bei Wei towards her room.
Bevy naturally had no objection and got up to follow.
Anyway, whatever Xu Yuan says goes now. As long as he agrees to join the company, everything will be fine!
As Xu Yuan led Bei Wei into the room, Lao Xu and Xu Meng exchanged a glance.
"Xiaomeng, you mentioned Xiaoyuan and Beiwei..."
Xu Meng sat on the sofa, taking small bites of a cheese stick, and said without looking up.
"Alright, Dad, didn't I already tell you? If you have this much free time, why don't you consider doing live streaming?"
"Hey! You're copying your brother, trying to make your dad sell himself! Live streaming? Even a dog wouldn't do that!"
……
As soon as she entered the room where she made her wish, Bevy smelled a faint scent of laundry detergent.
Although it doesn't have the same impactful scent as perfume, it inexplicably brings a sense of peace.
Unlike a typical messy boy's room, the room was tidy and organized, with even the blankets laid out neatly on the bed.
In fact, the onboarding process was very quick, and all of Xu Yuan's information had already been thoroughly investigated.
Even when Beiwei came to Xuyuan's house today, it was only to personally confirm Xuyuan's attitude.
After symbolically completing the onboarding process, the two fell into a silent stare-down.
Beiwei sat on the bed, while Xuyuan sat at the computer desk.
An awkward atmosphere gradually filled the air.
"Beiwei, we're friends now, right?" Xu Yuan suddenly asked, her eyes blazing.
"certainly!"
Bevy's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly nodded.
"Since we're friends, I'd like to know why you're asking?"
Bevy was startled, but still wanted to pretend she didn't understand.
"What? Why? We're friends!"
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan wasn't buying it.
He sat up straight and stared intently into her eyes with a serious expression.
"What you've done has gone beyond what friends should do. I want to know why, or rather, what do you need me to do?"
Bevy: ...
Looking directly into Xu Yuan's eyes, Bei Wei suddenly felt a little flustered.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Xu Yuan discovering the truth, it was just...
The moment their eyes met, Beiwei noticed that Xu Yuan's pupils had a strange amber color in the sunlight.
His angular face made her gasp—damn, how could he be even more handsome than yesterday?
Which girl doesn't dream of love?
Although Bevy is constantly driven by her belief in saving the world, she is still, at the end of the day, a young girl.
"Um..." Bevy stammered, a rare occurrence for her, feeling her ears burning. "Wish, firstly, we're friends, and secondly, if necessary, I'd like you to offer any help you can..."
Xu Yuan nodded in understanding.
"Definitely, we're friends, and Lao Xu and the others all like you very much."
In her previous life, Bevy did not have the opportunity to meet Xu Yuan; everything she knew about him came from other sources.
In addition, the fact that Xu Yuan himself has a savior aura makes it inevitable that she would be trembling with fear when facing him.
But now it seems that this "savior" is not so difficult to approach.
Perhaps the right approach is to set aside the savior aura and treat each other as friends?
Perhaps we really can find a pattern that can postpone the end of the world...
Bevy simply let go of everything.
"So what are your plans next?"
Hypnosis.
"Who are you going to hypnotize?"
Why would I hypnotize others? I'd hypnotize myself!
Bevy, puzzled but impressed, stared wide-eyed.
Who hypnotizes themselves?
This is really weird, you know?
Like when my great-grandfather had a baby, the baby ran out and asked whether to insure the hospital or Pavel Korchagin...
Countless speculations from her past life about the source of the power of wishes flashed through her mind! Could this be the secret to his growing strength? An evolution guided by a special mental state?
Driven by a strong sense of mission and curiosity, she blurted out almost without thinking, "Then... can I watch from the sidelines? Or... try it together?"
This time, it was Xu Yuan's turn to be stunned. He looked at Bei Wei's eyes, which were filled with a scientific inquiry mixed with a hint of girlish stubbornness, and found it somewhat amusing, but he also sensed her sincerity.
Perhaps having multiple "experimental samples" isn't such a bad thing?
If she does awaken something, she'll have more power to protect herself when facing future "tests".
"Sure," Xu Yuan shrugged, "but the process might be boring."
After saying that, he opened a video app on his phone.
Bevy held her breath, anticipating some kind of mysterious incantation or high-tech frequency.
Then, a sound came from the phone—
"Hello everyone, today we're going to repair this rusty Roman dagger. First, we need to soak it in a rust remover..."
Amidst the clanging and crackling of the hammering and the popping of the fire, she seemed to hear the sound of her worldview shattering.
Bevy: ...
What on earth is this "Wilderness Building Sleep Aid Video"?
This thing can turn you into a superhero?
I'm definitely not fully awake!
