The few of them sat around the living room again. This time, everyone was much more casual.
Xue Zhong even changed to a more comfortable couch.
Ming Ze’s gaze inadvertently swept over him. He was also very similar to Xue Meng in terms of familiarity.
Ji Jing briefly introduced her own people and the process of how they met Xue Meng. Then, Fu Xian explained the process of saving them with emotion,”…That was it. To put it simply, I happened to see something unusual about you and brought you here.”
“Good! The previous episode ends!” Little Taotie hit the board with her hand as if she was filming a movie.” Act two, it’s your turn!”
“Cough cough! ” Hello, everyone. I’m Xue Meng, and I live in C City.” Xue Zhong was very cooperative as he continued to play the role of the little Taotie.” I was adopted by my parents, but unfortunately, my health is not good. I live at home all year round. Before I woke up, I was undergoing heart surgery. My surname is also Xue, but I really don’t know Xue Meng. Although the risk of my surgery was a little high, it shouldn’t be a failure. Moreover, my parents didn’t believe in these demons and ghosts, and I didn’t see any signs that they would switch my soul to another person to avoid the risk.”
“The conclusion is that I know nothing.”Xue Zhong smiled helplessly.
“Can you contact your family? Your soul is here and you are using Xue Meng’s body. What about your own body?”Fu Xian’s imagination ran wild.” Could Xue
Meng be in your body?”
“Do you think this is transmigration?” The little Taotie ridiculed.
Xue Zhong shook his head.” I agree with you, but unfortunately, I don’t have a phone number at home. I don’t know their phone number either.”
No phone? In this day and age, landlines had been commonplace for decades and were about to become obsolete in the market. A mobile phone was a necessity for everyone to go out. How could there still be people who did not have a phone?
Everyone was puzzled, but considering Xue Zhong’s special physical condition, perhaps he did this to avoid radiation and disturbance? Everyone still chose to understand.
“But your family should be looking for you, right?… That’s not right either.” Fu Xian held his chin as he pondered.” You had an accident during the surgery. Even if you don’t wake up or you’re a different person, your family might think that it was because of the surgery.”
” It’s like this.” Xue Zhong’s smile faded a little.” Besides, there are some people in this world who are only ‘family’ in name and don’t really care about each other’s lives.”
Hearing Xue Zhong’s words, Fu Xian was stunned.””Your adoptive parents…”
“Yes, although they’ve been taking care of me, they probably don’t love me.
They won’t come to see me unless it’s a major surgery. “Xue Zhong said bluntly.
He had lived on an isolated island called the ward since he was young.
The isolated island was very large and very high-end. It was a three-story villa. The disinfection and isolation were all top-notch. The garden, backyard, and living facilities were all there. The isolated island was also very small. Half an hour was enough for them to complete a circle.
He had spent the past fifteen years of his life struggling with illness on this isolated island.
Surgery after surgery with a success rate of less than 50% was even a rare opportunity for him to communicate with the outside world.
The few of them were silent for a moment. They did not expect Xue Zhong to live such a life that was forced to be isolated from the world. His adoptive parents treated him like a porcelain doll. Although they took the most meticulous care of him, they did not give him the most basic freedom.
“Then you’re quite miserable.” Only Tao Tie commented heartlessly.
Xue Zhong was not angry. Instead, he smiled again.” That’s why I said that if you want to hit me, can you do it later? I want to enjoy the freedom of ice cream for a few minutes! Ice cream! Freedom!”
As he said this, the gloomy atmosphere was instantly swept away.
However, Xue Zhong remembered that his happiness was built on the fact that Xue Meng himself was missing. He felt a little wicked, so he quickly lowered his head to express his sincere repentance.”Even though I was forced to take over, Xue Meng is sorry, sorry! Just a few minutes!”
“Humph, humans are always so hypocritical. “The little Taotie said mercilessly.
“Then, Lord Tao Tie, you are very sincere?”Fu Xian smiled and pressed down on the little Taotie’s strawberry bowl. This guy was a little arrogant today. Did he need to be taught a lesson?
The little Taotie’s body stiffened. He remembered that he still had to repay this human’s debt! How could he say that he was hypocritical in front of his debt collectors!
As the three of them were making a ruckus, Ming Ze noticed Ji Jing frowning and asked, ‘”What’s wrong?”
