Chapter 179 I'm Back

"It's not like she was kidnapped. There is no trace in the house, but it looks like she just walked away..." Xiao'er said as he habitually pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Xiaosi frowned, her face filled with worry. "Is Xiaoliu okay? Why did she suddenly disappear? I wonder how she is now."

The rest of the people became silent, and they were so worried that they couldn't hide it.

Murong Xue, who watched all of this in the Space, almost wanted to come out, but finally resisted it. Although she believed them, the things about the Space truly couldn't be exposed.

Besides, she hadn’t figured out why the Gang of Five appeared in her apartment, and it seemed that they came here for the first time because they kept looking around the room after they came in. They were looking for small details and other things. With their conversation, it seemed that they came to look for her after hearing that she was missing.

But she also found it rather strange. It was obvious that she was in her apartment, and it hadn't been a day since she came back in the morning. How could there be news of her disappearance? It seemed that it was because of the first person who came in. She didn't know who he or she was yet.

But no matter who this person was, she couldn't go out now. Unless they all left, she would expose her secret. Maybe she would be dragged to the institute for research or something. She didn't want that. She didn't expect that it would cause so many problems just because she wanted to rest in the Space while being upset. She didn't know how to deal with it now.

The Gang of Five discussed in the room to no avail. They decided to go out to look for clues, which was better than staying here without doing anything.

Huangfu Yi glanced at the people who came out. He didn't say anything. Long Yi was also silent. He knew that it was impossible for them to find any clues. Since Mr. Dragon had already searched the place, he wouldn't miss anything.

Laoda brought the other four people forward to salute Huangfu Yi and explained their request to go out to find clues. Huangfu Yi waved his hand and let them leave.

Huangfu Yi then also said to Long Yi, "You should leave, too. Don't stop searching for Xue. As soon as there is a clue, let me know, no matter how late it is!"

"Yes, Mr. Dragon!" Long Yi left respectfully and locked the door when he went out.

After Long Yi left, Huangfu Yi walked towards Murong Xue's room. He was so agitated that he couldn't calm down at all. He was frightened and also found it hard to get rid of this feeling. This was the first time he had this kind of intense feeling. He was a bit at a loss. But what he felt was more akin to anger because he thought he wasn't powerful enough to find her.

Huangfu Yi walked to Murong Xue's room and slept directly on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling with wide eyes. He was staring at it in a daze.

He could only keep comforting himself that it was also good if he didn't get any news.

Murong Xue looked at Huangfu Yi in the room in amazement. She didn't expect it to be him. Did he think she was missing because he came to look for her but couldn't see her? But how did he get into her house? Murong Xue could only complain in her heart, "Can people enter other people's homes at will now? This is trespassing, right?"

It took her a lot of effort to calm herself down, but now with Huangfu Yi here, she was affected by him again and could not be calm for a long time. Murong Xue stomped her feet in the Space. How was she supposed to get out if he didn't leave?

She couldn't stay in the Space all the time. Her family would definitely be worried if they couldn't find her for a long time. Her parents might look for her everywhere. Mo Aili, Chu Yisen, and the others would also be worried. When that happened, she truly didn't know how to explain. She had to find a chance to get out as soon as possible.

"Xue, where are you? Show up quickly..." Huangfu Yi murmured while lying on the bed.

Murong Xue now extremely regretted that she actually entered the Space without taking her cell phone and handbag. These people might assume that she was missing because she did not bring her cell phone. One of the drawbacks of the Space was that she could only come out from where she entered. She couldn't bear to look at the expression on Huangfu Yi's face again. She didn't expect him to be so worried about her.

After Chu Yisen arrived in the capital, he immediately called Murong Xue, but she didn't answer her phone all the time. He couldn't help but think if Murong Xue was unwilling to answer his call. But then he set aside this thought. She probably didn't hear it, so he went to deal with his work without thinking too much. He waited until the evening, but Murong Xue didn't call him back. He felt a little uneasy, so he called her again.

The phone was answered, and he said in surprise, "Xue, are you sleeping?"

"It's you? Have you seen Xue today?" Huangfu Yi asked. Although he hated this man, he remembered that Murong Xue often stayed with him. Maybe he would know where Murong Xue was.

Chu Yisen held the phone tightly and said in a deep voice, "Huangfu Yi! Why is it you? Give the phone back to Xue and let her answer the call..." How come Murong Xue was with him again? Chu Yisen still couldn't see through Huangfu Yi. And he always felt that Huangfu Yi was even more dangerous than Shangguan Mo. He was truly dangerous because Chu Yisen couldn't find out anything about his identity.

Huangfu Yi frowned. "You're rude. Answer my question first. Have you seen Xue today?"

"You are the one who is rude! It's even more impolite to answer other people's calls without permission! Give the phone back to Xue." Chu Yisen refuted.

"Xue is not here! Now can you tell me whether you have seen Xue today?" Huangfu Yi endured the impatience and continued to ask.

Chu Yisen was taken aback. "Why isn't she there?" He woke up today and went to the airport. He hadn't seen Murong Xue since he left last night, but what did Huangfu Yi mean when he asked this question?

Huangfu Yi couldn't get his answer constantly, so he couldn't restrain his panic and anxiety anymore, "Answer my question first!"

"I haven't seen her!" Chu Yisen replied as if he had felt that Huangfu Yi was losing his patience.

With a slam, Huangfu Yi turned off the cell phone. He wasted his time for nothing again. Long Yi still didn't give him any news, which proved that he didn't find anything about Murong Xue yet. In the morning, Huangfu Yi found that Murong Xue was a little strange. Did she know that something happened at the time? Otherwise, why would she suddenly change her expression? And she must go home and didn't want to wait even for breakfast. He really shouldn't let her go back home alone. He should at least walk her home.

Murong Xue was extremely anxious in the Space. Although she knew that she could not hide it for a lifetime, she never thought that she would be exposed under such circumstances. Moreover, she was aware that she could not trust Huangfu Yi now. She knew nothing about him except for knowing that he was called Huangfu Yi. Although they got along pretty well, she didn't think that they were so close that she could let him know the secret she had been trying so hard to cover up. If he was a man like Fang Shihua, she might not be able to bear it. Subconsciously, she was scared and cowardly.

She decided to wait a bit longer. Maybe he would fall asleep in the middle of the night. She remembered that Huangfu Yi once said he couldn't fall asleep without her. Although it was a bit absurd, she somehow seemed to believe it. Though...

It was just a torment to stay in Space for a long time. One day in the real world was equivalent to a decade in Space. When he fell asleep in the middle of the night, she would go through countless days and nights. After thinking about it, she took a book and started reading while waiting.

Until it was late at night, Huangfu Yi could no longer lie in bed quietly. He was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room, picking up his phone and looking at it from time to time. Long Yi didn't call. The dark phone screen made him feel more and more discouraged.

Murong Xue bit her lower lip. She couldn't endure it anymore. As long as she bit the bullet and didn't tell the thing about the Space, no one would know that she had the Space. And they couldn't get any benefit from her. This should minimize the threat.

Thinking of this, she flashed directly, got out of the Space, and said in a soft voice, "Yii..."

Huangfu Yi's eyes widened. He then shook his head and muttered to himself, "I actually had a hallucination. I'm indeed too obsessed." He could not hide his frustration in his tone.

Murong Xue trembled and pretended to be calm. She smiled calmly, "Yii, why are you in my room?" There was no other way. It would be best if she could fool him. She could only pretend to be ignorant.

Now Huangfu Yi was completely stunned. He looked so shocked. His beautiful eyes blinked. But the phantom in front of his eyes did not disappear. Her smile was so vivid, and her unique voice sounded in his ears. The clothes on her body were also the dress he gave her during the day. She still looked strikingly beautiful.

He couldn't believe it and cautiously stretched out his hand. He lightly touched her face and then quickly retracted it like getting an electric shock. He was afraid that the phantom would be scared away by his touch, but the feeling was so obvious. The figure in front of him still existed.

He stepped forward, then stretched out his hands, and wrapped her into his arms. "Is it really you? Xue..." His voice trembling, he was trying to verify cautiously. The warm and soft body in his arms still carried the familiar scent. "It is Xue. She came back. Thank God." Huangfu Yi thought to himself.

Murong Xue was completely stunned. Her body stiffened while being hugged by him. Her heart was racing rapidly. Murong Xue knew at this moment that she was done. She couldn't help but fall in love again.

"I'm back..." Murong Xue set aside what she was thinking and gently soothed him. At least, she felt his concern at this time. Even if she didn't want to fall in love again, she couldn't neglect his concern.

Huangfu Yi hugged her quietly for a long time. Murong Xue did not struggle or respond to his hug. As far as she was concerned, she already lost her happiness. She was too cowardly to pursue her own happiness anymore. She didn't dare to come out of her shell. It was as if she could only have looked at the sunlight outside her shell enviously but wouldn’t have dared to reach the place where the sun shone because she had been more afraid of being burned by the warmth of the sun.

Huangfu Yi hugged Murong Xue's body and did not dare to let go. He was still a little flustered. Although he was holding her in his arms, he felt that she seemed to disappear at any time. For the first time, he truly felt that even as Mr. Dragon, there were also things or people that he couldn't control. And this woman was the only one who he cared about so much.

He did not ignore the scene that she suddenly appeared in front of him. It was obvious that there was nothing in front of him. Even the door of the room was still closed. Hence, at first, he thought he was dizzy and even assumed that he missed her so much that he had an illusion.

However, the touch on his hands and her familiar scent told him that this was Murong Xue herself. What happened just now? How could anyone appear out of thin air? How could it be possible? Could it be that Murong Xue was not a human? He couldn't help but think in this way. He became more and more panicked. It was not because he was afraid that Murong Xue was not a human, but because he was worried that she would suddenly disappear like this. He searched the whole world and still couldn't find her. What should he do by then?

It had been a long time until Murong Xue's body felt a little numb from being hugged too tightly. Her feet were a little sore already. And even a faint gleam of light filtered through the curtains. It was dawn. She moved her hands and found that her hands were already a little sore. She actually let him hold her for so long. She wondered if she was sympathizing with his worry or she merely followed her heart. Now she couldn't think straight.

Murong Xue's movements seemed to startle Huangfu Yi. He let go of his hands immediately and then tightly grasped Murong Xue's shoulders. He was staring at Murong Xue's face, slowly looking down from her forehead. Her eyes, nose, and mouth made him feel that she was beautiful and cute. Was Murong Xue a fairy? He read the fairy tale when he was a little kid, which once said that the fairy had the most beautiful appearance in the world. He used to dismiss this fairy tale, but now he started to believe it.

Huangfu Yi was unable to think straight now, and he had forgotten all the information he asked people to search about Murong Xue, including a series of various indicators of Murong Xue's body. He even knew her blood type. Now he was overwhelmed by the thing that Murong Xue appeared out of the thin air, so he could no longer think about other things. The thing that Murong Xue might disappear again worried him so much.
