In the evening, Mu Heyao was puzzled when he received a sudden message from Xu Wenyin. What did she mean by asking him to cut off the power on the floor of the hospital where she was at precisely 9:48 in the evening?

She also demanded that all surveillance and such be blacked out, ensuring that no one could find any footage from that period.

But Mu Heyao, even though he found it strange, would meticulously follow Xu Wenyin’s request without probing into the reasons behind it.

Until he learned about Xu Wenyin’s sudden disappearance.

Such a big person disappeared within five minutes of a power outage?!

No matter how hard they searched, they couldn’t find her, as if she evaporated from the face of the earth!

At that time, there were only Lu Chenjun and Xu Youyou in the room, both unclear of what had happened. In the blink of an eye, Xu Wenyin had vanished.

Could it be that someone intentionally came in to abduct her?

Various speculations, yet none provided a conclusive answer. Where did Xu Wenyin go? Did she leave on her own, or was she taken away by someone else?

This became a mystery.

Lu Weizheng, the Qin family, and even the Qing family were searching for clues. With their combined efforts, theoretically, even a small bird should have been caught by now, but Xu Wenyin just couldn’t be found!

It’s as if this person doesn’t even exist in the world.

Only Xu Youyou knew that her mother’s body disappeared because her time was up.

Over the years, Xu Wenyin’s body appeared for longer and longer periods, but it never lasted a full twenty-four hours.

In those fleeting three seconds, Xu Wenyin thought about many things, and one of the most important ones was what to do about her body.

She couldn’t disappear in public, as it would be noticed by the rules of this world and cause trouble for Xu Youyou.

So Xu Wenyin could only rely on Mu Heyao. She knew she would be taken to the hospital, but without her consciousness, her body would be nothing but a shell, no different from a vegetative person.

With current medical means, they wouldn’t be able to detect any issues or problems with her. But once she entered into a dormant state, she also lost the ability to control her body.

When the time was up, regardless of the circumstances around her, her body would disappear, leaving no trace behind.

Unable to think of a better solution at that moment, Xu Wenyin opted for the lesser of two evils and resorted to a straightforward approach—— cutting off power to disrupt everyone’s line of sight.

Of course, she knew that disappearing like that wasn’t good enough. Afterward, everyone would surely come looking for her, and they would find it strange.

But Xu Wenyin had no other choice.

Her disappearance in this manner would at least not cause too much trouble for Xu Youyou, but as for Mu Heyao’s side……

He probably wouldn’t be able to guess anything, and even if he did, he wouldn’t find any evidence.

Moreover, based on Xu Wenyin’s understanding of Mu Heyao, he wouldn’t be so meddlesome.

———pr

After Xu Wenyin went missing, Xu Youyou stood in place for a while, then seemingly recalling something, she ignored Lu Chenjun’s worried gaze and went to the restroom to take out her phone.

Sure enough! There was an email from an unknown sender!

【Youyou, Mom is fine, I just exerted my power and need to rest in heaven for a while.

It’s just that the duration of this rest is uncertain. It could be one or two years or even ten or twenty years. But you must believe that since Mom is a fairy, I will be fine.

Mom will always be watching over you from above, and will also secretly send emails to you. Mom will only be happy if you’re healthy and living happily.

Promise Mom that you won’t be sad or upset, okay?

Mom loves your smile the most!

No matter when, Youyou, you must believe that Mom always loves you!】

This letter didn’t contain any touching words. It seemed like Xu Wenyin just wrote down whatever came to mind. Considering her situation at that time, she indeed couldn’t refine her words meticulously. Being able to send an email in an instant was already her limit.

Moreover, the words in this email were half true and half false, so Xu Youyou wouldn’t suspect anything.

In ten or twenty years, Xu Youyou definitely wouldn’t be as heartbroken anymore, and Xu Wenyin had also made another method.

Afterward, every once in a while, Xu Youyou would receive an anonymous email written in Xu Wenyin’s tone, which was a small program previously designed in secret by Xu Wenyin and Mu Heyao.

Although it couldn’t fully reach the level of AI with autonomous thinking, writing letters to Xu Youyou was still not a problem.

When Xu Youyou finished reading the email and accidentally exited, then tried to click back in, she found the email had disappeared!

Not a trace was left behind as if it were just Xu Youyou’s imagination.

But she knew it wasn’t. Her mother was fine, she just needed to go back and rest because she had overexerted herself!

Xu Youyou never doubted that Xu Wenyin was lying to her. The key was, she guessed that in such a serious car accident, to protect them, her mother must have used a lot of energy, maybe needing a long time to recuperate.

But it’s okay, she would wait for her mother.

No matter how many years passed, she would wait for her mother to come back.

Before that, she had to pull herself together. She couldn’t let her mother worry in heaven!

The hospital was turned upside down but there was no sign of Xu Wenyin. The group had no choice but to go back home. Qin Yiren and Lu Chenjun were both worried about Xu Youyou being alone, so they wanted her to stay at the Qin family’s villa for a while.

However, Xu Youyou refused.

She said she was fine and told them not to worry.

To be honest, saying so with a pale face wasn’t very convincing, but Qin Yiren and Lu Chenjun had no way to force her. They could only take her home first and then figure out what to do next.

As a result, as soon as Xu Youyou entered the house and turned on the light, she was shocked by the ‘surprise’ in front of her.

There was a large banner, with a sentence written on it. It wasn’t neat or rhyming, but it was obviously Xu Wenyin’s idea.

——Youyou, you’re Mom’s pride!

At this moment, Qin Yiren also remembered that this was the gift prepared by Xu Wenyin for Xu Youyou.

A surprise to celebrate her successful completion of the college entrance exam.

Their original plan was to give Xu Youyou this surprise after dinner at the Qian family’s house. But who could have expected……

In front of Xu Youyou, besides the banner, there was also a mountain of stuffed dolls. In the pile, there were several super limited edition ones, and she recognized them at a glance.

They were the kind that money couldn’t easily buy, ones that truly depended on luck to get.

At the top were two dolls holding hands. Those familiar with them could easily tell they were Xu Wenyin and Xu Youyou, looking very cute.

“They’re made by Wenyin herself.”

Qin Yiren stepped forward slowly, her gaze fixed on the two dolls, and said softly, “She sewed them bit by bit according to the drawings I provided.”

For experienced individuals, making dolls might not be difficult, but for a novice like Xu Wenyin, it was evidently challenging. However, fortunately, she was ‘clever with her hands’. After three months of repeated attempts, wasting who knows how much fabric, and pricking her fingers countless times, she finally produced these two most successful pieces.

“Mmm, I really like them.”

Xu Youyou softly responded and then tiptoed to pick up the two dolls, carefully holding them in her arms. “Aunt Qin, Juanjuan, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I still have to wait for Mom to come back.”

Her mother was watching her from heaven. She’s an obedient child who listens to her mother’s words.

Facing Xu Youyou like this, Qin Yiren and Lu Chenjun exchanged a glance, knowing that there was no use in persuading her further. They could only sigh inwardly.

On the other hand, Lu Chenjun stepped forward and gently embraced Xu Youyou, his resolute voice echoing in her ear, “Xiao Lu, I’ll wait with you.”

Lu Chenjun had never mentioned it to anyone, but at the time of the car accident, he wasn’t so panicked that he failed to notice the abnormality around him. Clearly, they should have been severely injured at the most violent impact, but it seemed like an invisible force protected them.

His grasp of physics was excellent. Others might not know the situation, assuming they were lucky to survive unscathed, but Lu Chenjun never believed in so-called luck. Given the angles and speeds involved, yet only resulting in minor injuries……

Describing it as a miracle would be an exaggeration of miracles.

Adding to that, there was Xu Wenyin’s strange disappearance and the significant improvement in Xu Youyou’s mood after coming out of the restroom.

Lu Chenjun had some vague guesses in his heart, but of course, he wouldn’t ask or tell anyone about them.

Regardless of the circumstances, there was a high probability that Aunt Xu had saved his and his mother’s lives. Whatever secrets lay within, Lu Chenjun had no intention of probing into them.

He would wait with Xiao Lu.

Before Aunt Xu returned, Lu Chenjun also vowed to protect Xu Youyou no matter what!

With the efforts of the three of them, the mountain of dolls was moved into Xu Youyou’s room, and the two custom-made dolls were placed at Xu Youyou’s bedside.

Now it was well past two in the morning. Under Xu Youyou’s strong insistence, Qin Yiren and Lu Chenjun eventually returned to their own home.

Of course, before leaving, Qin Yiren gave many instructions, seeming quite worried about leaving Xu Youyou alone.

It wasn’t until Xu Youyou let out a slow yawn that Qin Yiren left with Lu Chenjun.

After the others left, Xu Youyou sat on the edge of the bed for a while, looking at the two dolls. Then she slowly got up, washed up, and changed into her pajamas. After lying down in bed, she turned off the light and closed her eyes, appearing perfectly normal.

However, after a while, Xu Youyou reopened her eyes.

Facing the darkness around her, she couldn’t help but speak, “Mom, good night.”

Her mother must be able to hear her, right?

———pr

At seven in the morning, Xu Youyou opened her eyes, her gaze clear and alert, devoid of any traces of sleepiness.

As she opened the door and walked downstairs, the housekeeper was already busy in the kitchen, and Lu Chenjun was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

“Juanjuan?”

Lu Chenjun looked up. “Why don’t you sleep a bit more?”

Xu Youyou sat down beside Lu Chenjun. “I should be asking you that question. Is there something specific that brought you here so early?”

In fact, Lu Chenjun had woken up before six in the morning because he was worried about Xu Youyou. After some consideration, he decided to come over and wait for her to wake up.

Anyway, all the fingerprint locks in the Xu family’s villa have Lu Chenjun’s information. When he came over, the auntie hadn’t even arrived yet.

“It’s nothing,” Lu Chenjun shook his head. “Do you want to pat my head?”

“Huh?” Xu Youyou blinked. After the night passed, her face wasn’t as pale as before, but her expression was rather ordinary.

With Lu Chenjun’s invitation, a hint of a smile finally appeared at the corners of Xu Youyou’s mouth.

“Yes!”

Xu Youyou reached out, leaning slightly towards Lu Chenjun, and gently placed her hand on his curly hair, giving it a little rub.

En, still feels great to the touch!

Lu Chenjun’s hair didn’t become stiff as he grew up. It’s really great.

In the kitchen, the auntie, who had already prepared breakfast, couldn’t help but reveal a knowing smile when she saw this scene.

She had already learned from Butler Qin about what happened yesterday. Quietly praying for Xu Wenyin in her heart, she also firmly believed that both mother and daughter were good people, and good people would surely be rewarded!

This villa would definitely become lively again!
