One Pet Gets Married

Chapter 57

Song Xici frantically tossed her phone aside, unable to look at Tang You'an. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to smash her own head and slowly bury herself.

"What kind of ultra-stimulating bedroom guide is it..." Tang You'an turned her head to look at her, moving closer. "I'm a bit curious..."

Hearing this, Song Xici turned her tomato-red face and said to Tang You'an, "Of course it's for doing you!"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Song Xici regretted them. It seemed even more embarrassing now.

"What did you say? For doing what?" Tang You'an played with her hair.

"I... I didn't say anything..." In the end, Song Xici chickened out.

"But I heard you," Tang You'an leaned closer to her ear. "Though I think in the end, you'll be the one begging me to take you..."

"As if!" Song Xici glared at her.

"Want to make a bet?" Tang You'an smiled.

"Stop it!" Song Xici said, grabbing a pillow from the bed and using it to push Tang You'an down.

"I'm serious, as long as you're sure you..." Tang You'an slowly sat up and whispered in her ear, "won't make a sound, so the neighbors don't hear, we could today..."

"Shut up or I'll kill you!" Song Xici glared at her with wide eyes, her ears practically steaming. She suddenly stood up, grabbed her pajamas, and ran to the bathroom.

The bathroom door closed, then opened again. Song Xici leaned out halfway and yelled at Tang You'an, "You wicked old woman!" before closing the door again to shower.

Tang You'an coughed twice, glanced at Song Xici's phone, and shook her head with a suppressed smile.

A while later, after they had both showered and were about to lie down to rest, Song Xici's phone chimed with a message notification.

Song Xici immediately reached over to the nightstand and unlocked her phone. It was a message from Qi Yuan: "Alright, her WeChat ID is yyyeah0208."

"Got it!" Song Xici immediately showed the phone to Tang You'an.

Seeing this, Tang You'an sat up and took out her own phone to add Chang Ye on WeChat.

About a minute or two later, Chang Ye accepted Tang You'an's friend request.

After accepting, Chang Ye took the initiative to greet her: "Hello?"

"Hello," Tang You'an replied with two characters, but then didn't know how to continue.

After thinking for a moment, Tang You'an typed: "I have something I left with you, right?"

"Huh, you don't remember yourself whether you did or not?" Chang Ye replied after a few minutes.

"Just tell her bluntly that you hit your head and lost part of your memory, and you're currently recovering," Song Xici said softly, looking at the phone screen. "It's better than saying you've transmigrated, right? Although her character is trustworthy—she was known as a little hero who punished evil and promoted good in college, and in the entertainment circle, she's called the little wolf warrior. They say no one can successfully proposition her."

Tang You'an nodded and sent a message as Song Xici suggested.

"I see. It was like this: that day I ran into you and a group of people at a nightclub. I'm not sure what was happening, but they were all trying to grab your bag. I happened to come across you all, so I stepped in to help you. I led you to an alley, and then you gave me a small teddy bear keychain, asking me to keep it safe. You said it was something important from someone close to you. Then, not wanting to implicate me, you ran off on your own," Chang Ye explained the situation in one go.

"Did those people give you any trouble afterward?" Tang You'an asked.

"Probably because it was the middle of winter and I was dressed quite heavily, all bundled up, those people didn't recognize me. Plus, I ran fast. Even though it was raining, I climbed over a few walls and crossed several streets before getting home, so no one bothered me afterward," Chang Ye replied.

After reading this, Tang You'an combined it with what the original body had said in the dream and the clues she'd gotten from Gu Boning to deduce what might have happened.

The original body must have secretly recorded something in the private room and was discovered, leading to her being chased. She likely put the recording or whatever it was onto that keychain and gave it to Chang Ye.

However, the original body didn't tell Chang Ye what the item was, as they weren't close and she couldn't trust her in such a short time.

Later, not actively trying to retrieve the item from Chang Ye might have been because she felt she was being watched and panicked, fearing it would cause trouble for both of them. Unable to think of any other solution, she didn't dare to act rashly. It's also possible she was threatened—for example, if she dared to do anything, they would retaliate. As a result, the original body kept putting it off and never managed to get the item back before her death.

Indeed, if the original body had been a bit smarter, would she have ended up being mocked by everyone? No matter what, she should have had some true fans to help clear her name, right?

As Tang You'an was piecing these thoughts together in her mind, her phone vibrated again. This time, Chang Ye had sent a picture. The image showed a keychain with a chubby white hamster on it.

"This thing... looks like just an ordinary keychain..." Song Xici rubbed her chin, looking at it for a long time.

"This is the item you gave me. When do you think you'll be free? If you have time, let's meet up and I'll return it to you. Or should I mail it to you? Whatever is more convenient for you," Chang Ye asked afterward.

Tang You'an pondered for a while, her brow furrowing. It seemed Chang Ye also didn't know what was special about this item, so it wasn't good to ask too many questions.

"Although we can't tell what's unusual about this thing, I feel like it must be quite important. If it gets lost in the mail, that could be a big problem. I wouldn't even trust someone else to bring it. No matter what, it's better to receive this kind of thing in person..." Song Xici said quietly.

Tang You'an nodded in agreement: "That's true."

"No, let's meet in person for you to give it to me," Tang You'an replied to Chang Ye.

"That's fine. I'm in Rongcheng now, and I'll basically be home streaming for the foreseeable future, with no other plans. Whenever you have time to come back here, I'll give it to you," Chang Ye said.

"Alright," Tang You'an replied with two characters.

But how exactly should they meet? If she was indeed being followed, what kind of people would be following her?

At the same time, what reason should she give for meeting Chang Ye that wouldn't make her followers suspect anything unusual between them?

Just then, a message from Meng Meng popped up in Song Xici's WeChat.

Meng Meng: "Zhou Yi is so nice, haha! She agreed to lend me her small villa for my birthday party! I want to invite a lot of people, now we can really have fun. Come on, help me decide which outfit I should wear!"

Then, Meng Meng sent several outfits for Song Xici to help choose from.

"Am I not nice? If you want, you can have it at my place too," Song Xici replied.

Meng Meng: "It's not that! It's just that if we have it at your place, it might easily make the news, right? I prefer to keep a lower profile! Quick, help me choose!"

"That yellow and white checkered one looks quite suitable for you, just the right amount of quirky," Song Xici replied.

Meng Meng: "You're the quirky one! By the way, can you and You'an come to my birthday this year? You didn't come last year, but I made sure to take time off to be with you on your birthday!"

Song Xici sighed: "I want to come, but I'm really super busy lately, and I also need to find time to meet with Chang Ye..."

Meng Meng: "Meet Chang Ye? That's simple, just invite her to come along! Problem solved!"

Song Xici smiled and shook her head, thinking she really couldn't do anything about her friend. But halfway through shaking her head, Song Xici suddenly turned to look at Tang You'an: "I've got it! Meng Meng's birthday is on the 20th of this month, and she's inviting quite a few people. Why don't we ask Chang Ye to come, and we can meet her there!"

"I think it's worth a try. If we're being watched, then the more people at the meeting place, the better. After all, that way, whoever is watching me won't know the purpose of my visit or who I'm trying to meet," Tang You'an nodded.

"Mm, although it's a bit strange for her to come to a birthday party since we're not that close, it doesn't matter. We can just say we're really busy, but the item is very important to us, so this is the only way," Song Xici yawned softly. "Besides, choosing Zhou Yi's place is great. The Zhou family is powerful, not many people would dare to cause trouble there. It can ward off evil..."

Tang You'an laughed after hearing this: "What kind of reasoning is that..."

"Besides their most famous enterprise, they own another forty or fifty businesses of various sizes, are shareholders in eleven companies, and have high-level executives in over forty..." Song Xici thought for a moment. "Maybe this is also one of the reasons why that group of people are targeting you hard but not me."

"I think it's mainly due to another reason. Before, our relationship was tense, so going after you wouldn't have meant anything to them. But now it's different..." Tang You'an turned her head to look at Song Xici. "This is not good, we must hurry..."

"Tang You'an, don't think you can scare me into leaving you. I'm telling you, I won't leave even if I die," Song Xici stared at her, speaking seriously.

Tang You'an was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and nodded. After that, they went to sleep. Perhaps due to exhaustion, Tang You'an fell asleep soon after lying down.

Early the next morning when Tang You'an woke up, she received several messages from Gu Boning.

First, the group that the original body had offended was called the 'Vitamin' group.

Second, this group's main purpose was to engage in drug use and manipulate celebrities in the industry, but the group's leader never participated directly, only giving instructions from above. He seemed to harbor a deep hatred for entertainers.

Third, apart from 'Pigeon', no one in the group had seen the leader's true face. Every time Gu Boning communicated with the leader, it was through 'Pigeon'.

After putting down her phone, Tang You'an composed herself, then was fitted with a wire harness by the crew members and ascended to the rooftop, preparing to shoot the next scene.

This scene wasn't a dialogue with Song Xici, but an action scene where Feng Liuyue participates in a family trial. It required her to hold a sword and leap gracefully from the roof to the ground, then engage in combat.

Song Xici stood at a distance, quietly watching. Wire work was an incredibly grueling task. For someone with extremely uncoordinated limbs, no matter how thin they were, once suspended, they'd look like a thousand-pound sow, unable to appear light as a swallow and instead appearing terribly awkward.

Just as the director called "Action," Song Xici noticed Tang You'an's phone screen light up in her bag.

It was a message from Gu Boning: "Forgot to mention, someone's going to tamper with your wire harness today. Be careful."

"Director! You'an! Don't..." After seeing that message, Song Xici immediately stood up and ran towards them.

However, after Director Ouyang Du's command, the camera assistant had already moved the dolly, and Tang You'an had already leaped down from above, sword in hand...

Then, suddenly two of the wire harness cables snapped. Everyone on set was stunned for a moment, and Song Xici was so frightened her legs went weak.
