After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

"how do you know?"

Before Situ Rui's doubts were resolved, Mu Yanchen strode out of the room.

He hoped that she was still in the nursing home before she ran far away, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to find her!

Mu Yanchen quickly searched the remaining rooms.

Back in the corridor, she raised her eyelashes slightly, and her dark eyes fell on the room at the end where the light was dimly flickering.

"There is only one room left." Situ Rui, who was standing next to him, reminded him.

Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui both walked lightly, as if they were afraid of scaring the person inside. They were not sure whether Shen Zhao was inside. If she was, she would not know it was them, and might take some extreme actions out of fear, which would not be beneficial to either party.

If she is not there, then they can search as much as they can. In the third case, if the person who is there is not her, then they must also be cautious.

Mu Yanchen reached out and opened the door at the end, but the layout inside still dazzled his eyes.

This was definitely not something that was done on the spur of the moment. He had been thinking about who would live here for some time, and this was obviously a girl's style, so he could only think of Mu Daying who was already in a coma.

She can't escape responsibility either.

There was no place to hide anyone as far as I could see. The cabinet was not big, and the bed was a solid wooden bed connected to the ground. If there was someone on the bed, they would probably be lying flat on the bed.

There is a very thick carpet, and there are windows on three of the four walls. The bed is facing one with the curtains wide open. As for the other two, one is located on the left side of the bed without any obstruction, and the one on the right is half hidden behind the cabinet, but because there is a thick curtain in front, at first glance it is just a wall decoration.

"Can someone hide here?" Situ Rui's voice floated in the room, very light and almost inaudible.

Mu Yanchen stared at the curtain on the right. Situ Rui followed his gaze and made some gestures in the air, probably meaning that he would go over and let Mu Yanchen stay where he was.

But Mu Yanchen did not agree. He shook his head and walked away.

But he didn't make any sound, and every step he took was silent. At this time, Situ Rui received his instructions. Mu Yanchen asked him to stride out and then close the door.

The moment the door closed, there was a slight noise, which startled Shen Zhao who was squatting on the windowsill. Her neck was stiff, and her pair of deer eyes looked towards the door through the cabinets and curtains with a little fear. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her whole body was in a tense state, not daring to move.

She could vaguely hear the man's whisper just now, but it was only for a moment, and she couldn't tell who it was. She didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, so she couldn't walk out rashly.

After waiting for a while, suddenly, before Shen Zhao could react, the curtains were quickly pulled open with a "swish" sound.

The dim yellow light in the room spread onto the windowsill. Shen Zhao stared with his eyes wide open, holding on to the shabby window frame with one hand, and one leg stepped out and hung in the air, feeling as if it was about to fall.

Just when she was about to leap out of the window desperately, a hand appeared in front of her, grabbed her waist and pulled her in. The person restrained her but did not use enough force to hurt her.

With one hand she grasped the man's strong and powerful arm and pushed hard, but she couldn't break free. With the other hand she tightly grasped the silver needle and was about to pierce the acupuncture points on the man's arm, but the man seemed to have seen through her intentions long ago, and his other hand actually reached forward from behind and grabbed her wrist!

She was so angry that her ears turned a charming red, her chest was heaving with heavy breathing, and one could feel how excited she was at the moment.

It was as if a situation that had been prepared for a long time suddenly got out of control and fell into a dangerous situation.

"Let go!" she said hoarsely. Since she couldn't escape, she had to put herself in the most advantageous position.

But the man turned a deaf ear and had no intention of letting her go.

Shen Zhao was held in his arms and could not see his face. When her back pressed against his lean chest and she was surrounded by the cold and familiar scent of medicine, she suddenly relaxed from her tense state. Moisture lingered in her eyes and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was suppressing the tears that were about to flow out of control.

Mu Yanchen pulled Shen Zhao in front of him. He could clearly feel her body relaxing. He was slightly stunned, and then his eyes softened, like the first ray of sunshine cast in the snow, with a barely noticeable smile on his lips.

"You know it's me, right?"

His voice is deep but very magnetic, always giving people a bewitching feeling.

Shen Zhao leaned against him, and his whole body stiffened as he remembered something.

At this moment, she really didn't dare to look at him face to face. What if he really found out as she thought?

How should she face him?

Seeing that Shen Zhao had not responded, Mu Yanchen's eyes flashed with worry. He loosened the shackles on her waist and put his hands on her shoulders, exerting a little force to make her turn around.

Shen Zhao turned around as he asked, but he didn't look happy at all. She lowered her head silently, as if she wanted to confront him.

The worry became more and more rampant, and he even began to wonder if Duan Lu Chong had done something to her that led to her current state.

The feeling of anxiety and helplessness filled his heart again, just like before. Even though he had so much power now, he couldn't get out of that vicious circle...

"What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" Mu Yanchen tried his best to control his emotions and comforted the person in front of him with the softest voice.

Shen Zhao stretched out her hand and tightly grasped his arm, her fingertips digging into the flesh through the cloth, but he remained motionless, only comforting her with great patience.

"Why..." Shen Zhao choked softly.

"What's wrong?" There was a hint of nervousness in Mu Yanchen's tone.

"I clearly don't remember anything, why..."

"what?"

"Sheng Baiyi, how do you know her?" Shen Zhao finally raised her eyes. Her eyes were red. She couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes along the graceful curve of her cheeks.

Mu Yanchen was stunned, his dark eyes collided into hers, as if he was looking for something in them.

"…How could you? Did Duan Lu Chong say something?"

Shen Zhao did not urge him, she just waited quietly.

Mu Yanchen glanced away, as if trying to avoid it, and then looked back, "She is... a researcher at Xinrui Pharmaceutical Company."

Shen Zhao pursed his lips, "And then?"

Mu Yanchen was a little at a loss. Facing her eager gaze, he felt that everything was out of control. He seemed to understand what she wanted to ask.

In the end, he was the first to compromise, closed his eyes and told the secret that had been sealed in his heart for a long time, "She is... my lover, but she knows nothing."
