As the scene shifted, Xiao Qiang woke up, instinctively reaching out to touch the ground. His hand sank into something soft—grass! This sensation felt familiar, having just occurred a few moments ago. Wait! What went wrong? Was it a problem with the cycle of reincarnation? Or was someone deliberately keeping them stuck on this detail?
He got up to wake Lin Yu, while Wu Yi glanced around at the familiar surroundings: the road, the sidewalk, the entrance of a bar. It seemed there was now an additional electronic simulation human advertisement at the bar entrance, promoting entertainment, dining, vacations, leisure, and accommodation.
Lin Yu woke up, his confused gaze scanning the area…
Wu Yi slapped his forehead and muttered under his breath.
This time, Xiao Qiang didn’t say the usual nonsense about leaving Lin Yu in Wu Yi’s care.
Strangely enough, Wu Yi spoke up in his place: “Xiao Qiang, you take good care of Lin Yu and don’t look around.”
Xiao Qiang raised his hand. “Stop,” he said with a frown, directing his gaze toward the bar. “Let’s go fill our stomachs first.”
As they walked, deep in thought, he couldn’t help but ask Lin Yu and Wu Yi, “Do you remember what just happened?”
“The thing with the tiger and the wolf pack?” Wu Yi answered first. Seeing Xiao Qiang shake his head, he shrugged. “Give me a hint.”
Xiao Qiang shook his head and seriously glanced at Lin Yu. “What about you?” The latter looked bewildered. “Let’s not talk about it! I just had amnesia and made a bit of a fool of myself.”
“Why do I have to experience this reversal alone?” Xiao Qiang silently cursed.
Noticing Xiao Qiang's grim expression, Lin Yu leaned closer and asked with concern, “What’s bothering you?”
“Nothing. Let’s go!”
"Will we make a fool of ourselves going in like this?"
Right, they needed to hide their watches and weapons. The three of them tucked these items away in a low bush before heading toward the noisy bar.
As they entered the bar, all eyes turned to them. One Seductive Woman swayed her hips and approached them with a deliberate, bouncy stride.
Xiao Qiang focused on the exit of the private room and, sure enough, spotted Wen Kai! He quickly walked over and shouted, "Wen Kai..."
The man being called Wen Kai paused, stopping to explain something to Xiao Qiang.
The alluring Barmaid that Xiao Qiang had missed had now latched onto Wu Yi. Left alone, Lin Yu could only take a couple of steps back and walk toward Xiao Qiang.
"I'm not Wen Kai," the man explained to Xiao Qiang.
Lin Yu leaned in for a closer look; indeed, the man's appearance was quite similar to Wen Kai's.
"Then who are you?"
The man seemed somewhat annoyed. "Are you checking IDs?" he questioned, his eyes blazing with anger. However, upon seeing Lin Yu, his tone softened slightly. "Wen Zhaoqi."
Wen Zhaoqi? Xiao Qiang was taken aback as the other man swiftly moved past him.
"You're here; where's Wu Yi?" Xiao Qiang asked, glancing around the dimly lit hall bathed in dark red light. Shadows danced everywhere, but there was no sign of Wu Yi...
That seductive Barmaid had wrapped her arm around Wu Yi's. Half leaning against him, her soft curves and warm breath near his ear stirred a heat within him. The cloying scent invaded his nostrils, making him want to sneeze... He held back, fearing that one sneeze would make everything he saw vanish.
Behind Wu Yi and the Barmaid stood a suave and distinguished man. He addressed the bartender, saying, "I'll take care of that kid's tab."
As Xiao Qiang and Lin Yu hurriedly searched for Wu Yi, they passed by the bar. Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of someone and simultaneously stopped. In unison, they exclaimed, "Li Hang?"
Just like before, the man being called Li Hang vehemently denied it.
Xiao Qiang felt dizzy and gritted his teeth as he stepped back… lowering his voice to Lin Yu, he said, "He's not Li Hang; he's Li Hang's father."
Lin Yu was taken aback and chose not to press further about the man who bore a striking resemblance to Li Hang.
However, while they refrained from asking more questions, the man showed interest in what Xiao Qiang had said. He repeatedly invited them to his home as guests… as if he were determined to make them divulge the entire story.
The situation returned to square one; Wu Yi was nowhere to be found. The overly enthusiastic man took the initiative to order food for them and sent it to Room 22.
Xiao Qiang felt overwhelmed. When Mr. Li left, he grabbed Lin Yu, hoping she would believe him: "All of this happened just a few minutes ago; it's just that there are some minor differences between the first time and the second."
Lin Yu reached out to touch his forehead, but Xiao Qiang angrily pulled away. He roared in frustration, "I'm not feverish or rambling! What will it take for you to believe me that this really happened just a few minutes ago?"
"Alright, stop it. Regardless of what's going on, we need to fill our stomachs first, right?" Lin Yu said gently as she held onto him, glancing at the rather lavish spread of food. Her stomach growled a few times. She was truly hungry!
After all, the stomach is the source of energy for the body. If the energy source is depleted, then the body will break down. Xiao Qiang nodded apologetically and gave Lin Yu an exasperated smile. "Let's eat!"
With Wu Yi missing and Xiao Qiang struggling to eat, he forced down a small piece of omelet before suddenly standing up. He instructed Lin Yu to stay put while he went off to look for her.
His hunger made it hard to flirt! This was Wu Yi's greatest regret at that moment. The Barmaid had no idea about any of this; she kept trying to get close and flirt with him but saw no progress…
"I'm in a hurry, it's 100 Hong Kong dollars per minute."
Wu Yi was taken aback, fumbling around, but his pockets were empty. The money was with Xiao Qiang, and he quickly forced a smile, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I'll go get the money for you."
The Barmaid, upon hearing he had money, suddenly shifted from a frown to a smile and said sweetly, "It's nothing. You must be hungry, right?" After asking, she turned to the intercom and said in a charming voice, "Hurry up and bring the snacks for the guests in Room 2."
Staring at the Barmaid's fair skin and her curvaceous figure, Wu Yi felt as if he had drunk honey; it was sweet.
A knock on the door interrupted his daydreaming. He confidently walked over, thinking it was the snacks being delivered, and opened the door—only to find Xiao Qiang!
"You..." Seeing Wu Yi with that Seductive Woman who had been bothering him, Xiao Qiang was furious. He grabbed Wu Yi and said, "This is all an illusion; we are being manipulated. We need to leave here quickly."
Wu Yi didn't understand Xiao Qiang's words. "What are you talking about?" He broke free from Xiao Qiang's grip and reluctantly glanced at the Barmaid, who had changed her expression dramatically as she walked out. He apologized, "I'm sorry..."
This place felt too strange for Xiao Qiang, making him uneasy as he worried about Lin Yu's safety. He didn't want to argue or explain with Wu Yi; he just firmly pulled him toward Room 22.
The Barmaid might not have known that Mr. Li had mentioned buying Wu Yi's tab earlier. Outside, she called for security. The security guard found it amusing; they hadn't expected to catch two mainlanders enjoying free food and drinks.
