Zhong Kui's Diary
After a while, Yang Mi asked me to take out the thermometer from under my armpit. She looked at the scale and frowned a few times, saying, "It's up to 39 degrees. You need to bring the fever down."
After that, I put away the thermometer and flashlight, and Yang Mi took out seven or eight medicine bottles from the first aid kit to prepare medicine for me. I curiously asked, "Aren't you part of the props team? How come you're playing doctor now?"
"Hmph! I see you're thinking about Yang Mi, which is why you have a fever. Anyway, since Yang Mi knows a bit about medicine, let her come over," Sang Xin coldly remarked from the side.
That's called being excited, not having a fever. Do you even know Mandarin? I chuckled and said, "Well, that's great. I'm deeply grateful for the organization's care. I'll write a thank-you letter later, complete with a blood handprint."
Sang Xin ignored me and turned to Yang Mi, saying, "His mission is very important. I hope you can help him bring down his fever quickly. As long as it doesn't harm the villa, feel free to agree to any of his requests."
Yang Mi nodded in response. Only then did Sang Xin glance at me as if she wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent and turned to leave.
I really thought Sang Xin was particularly nice to me; after all, she knew my importance in the plan, which was why she cared about me. To that end, she even brought Yang Mi over to help me with my illness. From what she just said, I could even guess that Sang Xin likely instructed Yang Mi that if I needed anything, Yang Mi would be willing to offer herself...
This situation is truly complicated. If Yang Mi really had to offer herself, should I firmly refuse or play hard to get?
Yang Mi didn't linger; she walked out of the bedroom, and then I heard the sound of the door closing. Oh no, what comes next?
Just as I was wondering, Yang Mi called out from outside again, "You need to take off your clothes first!"
Wow, she's serious about this! I felt very conflicted and pondered for quite a while but ultimately decided not to take off my clothes.
"Hey, why haven't you taken off your clothes yet?" Not long after, Yang Mi walked in holding a basin.
"Isn't this too fast? I'm not someone who just goes with the flow; we need to build some emotional connection first!" I laughed.
"Build what connection?" Yang Mi shot me a glare as she placed the basin on the bedside table and took out a towel from it, wringing it slightly. "Hurry up; I'm helping you cool down physically."
"Uh!" Realizing I had misunderstood her intentions, I quickly stripped down to just my shorts.
Yang Mi was wiping me down from head to toe and said, "I made Ginger Cola Soup in the kitchen. After I finish wiping you, drink it while it's hot, then lie in bed and sweat it out. That should help."
Feeling Yang Mi's delicate and smooth hands on my body was particularly comfortable. I let out a few soft sounds, realizing it was inappropriate, so I quickly changed the subject: "Um, is there any special effect from drinking Ginger Cola Soup?"
"Just a Home Remedy. There's no magic to it, but it works well for reducing fever," Yang Mi replied lightly.
I acknowledged her with an "oh" and fell silent. Instead, Yang Mi hesitated for a moment and asked, "The main reason for your cold and fever is related to rest. Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Yeah." Knowing that Guo'er was still alive, how could I sleep well?
"Is it because you didn't know who that person was, so you couldn't sleep?" Yang Mi said softly.
Huh, why would Yang Mi think that? However, it didn't matter; what was important was that since she thought this way, I might as well go along with it. I sighed deeply and said, "Well, if you don't tell me, I have no way to do anything!"
Yang Mi bit her lip and remained silent. I knew I shouldn't push her at this moment; I just pretended to sigh dramatically.
"Actually, my surname is Yang!" Yang Mi whispered.
Of course, Yang Mi has the surname Yang; everyone in China knows that. I cleared my throat and stayed quiet.
"It's my original name," Yang Mi added softly.
Hearing this made me remember that almost everyone in this villa used aliases. Just like how my name Sun Wukong was originally Zhong Zhengnan, and Zhu Bajie was called Sima Sanguang, Yang Mi must also have her real name.
Her original name also has the surname Yang? What does she mean by that?
"We both have Heartbreak Grass in our bodies. The principle of this poison is somewhat like... Baidu; you can search for keywords. If I reveal my name, I'll inevitably suffer some pain. Besides, even if I tell you my name, you might not recognize it. But just know that I'm from the Yang Family," Yang Mi said with a bitter smile, looking at me with eyes full of helplessness.
"Yang Family?"
Yang Mi nodded.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Could it be that Guo'er wanted her to remind me?
Immediately, I dismissed this speculation. Guo'er hasn't even regained consciousness yet; how could it possibly be her? Besides, she has been locked in the storeroom and wouldn't know that I had come to Dominion Villa.
Yang Mi tossed the towel into the basin, rubbed it a couple of times, wrung it out, and continued to wipe my body while softly saying, "The person who entrusted me is naturally from my original family. I can only do this much."
After saying this, Yang Mi fell silent and quietly finished wiping me down. She then went to the kitchen to bring in ginger soup, helping me drink it all before covering me with a blanket. Once I had sweated profusely and felt much better, she prepared to leave with the medical kit on her back.
Just as Yang Mi was getting up, she suddenly turned around and smiled at me. "Do you want any other methods to reduce your fever?"
I was taken aback. "What do you mean by methods?"
"To release the heat toxins from your body, there’s another method, which is..." Yang Mi chuckled lightly and slightly lifted her chest. "Don't you understand?"
"Uh, about that... let's skip it!" My mind was still occupied with whether Guo'er wanted her to remind me, so I wasn't very interested in such matters for now. Moreover, wasn't this girl from the Yang Family? She could very well be some cousin of Guo'er’s; two sisters together... cough cough, that seemed inappropriate.
Yang Mi smiled sweetly and casually asked, "Do you have any messages you want me to pass on outside?"
I was even more stunned and took a while to respond. "What do you mean?"
"I am an undercover agent from the Yang Family lurking in the villa. You all are about to make a big move; I must relay this information. Do you have anything you want to tell me?" Yang Mi still wore a smile, but her voice lowered.
Her words left me completely bewildered as I stammered, "Uh, Yang Mi, what do you mean?"
Yang Mi cleared her throat lightly. "Mr. Zhong, after I go out this time, I won't be coming back. If you want to send a message later, there may not be an opportunity."
I shrugged helplessly. "I really don't know what you're talking about."
Yang Mi stared at me for a while, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on her face. She smiled at me and changed the subject. "Do you know why you caught a cold?"
"Is there really a reason for this cold?" I asked in confusion.
"That's because we released the cold virus in your room last night."
"What do you mean?"
"Congratulations, you have officially passed the re-examination!" Yang Mi smiled lightly and turned to leave.
I was completely shocked by her words. It seemed that their re-examination of me had only just concluded. If I were truly an undercover agent sent from the outside, this moment would have definitely exposed me. First, they arranged the initial simple test, then there was another round of testing inside the prison, and before the tests, they used Yang Mi to dig a big pit for me. When I fell into this pit, they guided me intentionally or unintentionally, making me think that someone was there to assist me.
This was truly a case of one layer after another; the person who designed this set of tests was incredibly skilled. If I were really some kind of spy, I would have definitely revealed my true self just now.
After a while of sighing in admiration, I picked up my phone and called Sang Xin. My fever had subsided, and I had successfully passed Yang Mi's re-examination.
Sang Xin casually congratulated me on the other end of the line. I asked in confusion, "Why aren't you happy for me? I'm also someone you brought in."
"To be honest, my smiling at you is just for the sake of the villa's testing requirements. Do you think I enjoy being with you? You're not my type. Just so you know, I like Huo Jianhua types. Is there anything else? I'm hanging up!" With that, she ended the call.
I held the phone in silence; this was too realistic.
But whatever, I had already decided to sneak away as soon as I got out. Let those inside do as they please.
In the afternoon, Hua Wuqiu came over again, happily telling me that she had informed her parents and was just waiting for me to finish this mission so we could get married.
I laughed and joked, feeling an even stronger urge to sneak away.
After sending Hua Wuqiu off, I lay on my bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night.
The next morning, I went to the cafeteria. I arrived quite early; there weren't many people inside. I slowly savored my meal, drinking three bowls of porridge and eating seventeen steamed buns, three pan-fried buns, five shao mai, and a bowl of fried noodles before finally seeing Sima Sanguang come in.
I invited him to sit next to me and lowered my voice to ask, "Did you have a re-examination yesterday?"
"No? Then doesn't that mean the re-examination is over?" Sima Sanguang looked astonished.
"Damn, I was even re-examined yesterday."
"Maybe you're more important," Sima Sanguang chuckled, getting up to grab a bowl of wontons and starting to eat them eagerly.
It seems this re-examination might really be targeted at me. Hmph, I'm not an undercover agent, but I can still escape with the ball!
After finishing breakfast, the two of them chatted casually. Before long, Sha Monk and White Dragon Horse joined us, clearly excited.
Around nine o'clock, Tang Seng and Daughter Kingdom King walked in. After scanning the room, they nodded, and Daughter Kingdom King began calling names.
"I didn't expect Daughter Kingdom King to finally get Master sorted out!" Sima Sanguang whispered with a laugh.
"It was clearly Master who overpowered Daughter Kingdom King!" Sha Monk chimed in with a grin.
This Elder Brother Yu doesn't seem like a good person.
