That night, Mo Yinhe fell into a deeper sleep after drinking the herbal medicine prepared by Si Mingjing.
In the dead of night, he still had a high fever, unending night sweats, and his body trembled with cold. Despite his strong physique, he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
Ye Shen, now experienced, did not panic as she did the night before but immediately turned off the main power supply of the manor.
With the power cut off, the surveillance cameras stopped working.
Then, Ye Shen turned on her flashlight and went to the small building where Si Mingjing lived, knocking on the door as cautiously as a thief.
"Miss Si, Miss Si, we can move now."
When Si Mingjing opened the door, the light from Ye Shen’s flashlight happened to shine directly on her face.
One could only imagine the scene.
Ye Shen cried out in shock, "My God, a ghost!"
Si Mingjing glared fiercely at Ye Shen. "Are you a moron? Don’t shine that on me; it’s blinding."
Ye Shen quickly moved the flashlight away and made a "Let’s go" hand gesture.
Then she bragged, "Miss Si, I’m smart, right? I’ve cut off the main power switch for the entire manor. All the surveillance has stopped working. Quickly go warm up my brother. And I must emphasize again, do not take advantage of him. Even if my brother’s charm is irresistible, you must hold back. Be careful—my brother might snap your neck!"
Si Mingjing’s scalp tightened. Feeling quite awkward, she emphasized heavily, "I have someone I like!"
"Miss Si, stop pretending. Most girls who are rejected by a man will say they have someone they like, finding an excuse to defuse the embarrassment. I understand."
How could a girl who came back to Earth from Prison Star possibly have someone she liked on Earth? If she had someone special on Prison Star, how could she leave that person behind and come back to Earth alone? So, Ye Shen was sure Si Mingjing was thoroughly single. Si Mingjing probably only claimed to have someone she liked because she saw how cold his brother was, how he kept everyone at a distance—she was just being sensible enough to make an excuse.
Ye Shen led the way with her flashlight.
The two of them snuck from the small building to the main house, then from the first floor to the second, finally arriving outside Mo Yinhe’s bedroom door.
"We’re here, Miss Si. Go in and take good care of my brother. I can’t stay up any longer tonight; I can’t hold on. I’m going to sleep."
Having said that, Ye Shen returned to her room, yawning.
This was exactly what Si Mingjing hoped for.
After Ye Shen left, she entered Mo Yinhe’s bedroom and instinctively locked the door behind her.
Then she tiptoed to the bedside, lowered her eyelids, and quietly watched the sickly man on the bed, who was trembling from the cold. Staring at the sickly man, she noted that, drenched in cold sweat, he seemed less aloof than during the day. His damp hair, standing on end, gave him an unexpected, wild allure that was strangely captivating.
Perhaps due to the medication, Mo Yinhe didn’t wake up tonight, nor did he vaguely pull her into his embrace.
The transfer of heat for five minutes happened without a single incident—absolutely perfect.
Having successfully completed the task, Si Mingjing placed the man’s arm back under the quilt and kindly tucked him in.
Then, she prepared to leave.
But she never would have expected that at that moment, a huge hemispherical Force Field Protective Shield suddenly enveloped half of the bedroom!
It was instantaneous!
If it hadn’t been instant, Si Mingjing would have certainly been able to escape the confines of the Force Field Protective Shield before it trapped her.
When she tried to pass through the semi-transparent, blue-glowing Force Field Protective Shield, her body felt as though it had hit an impenetrable wall.
By the year 2050, technology had advanced enough to turn the protective shields from science fiction movies into reality.
