Features: "Stop running, quickly!" A frantic set of footsteps, accompanied by shouts, gradually approached the backyard. Pei Youxi threw his backpack filled with simple belongings over the fence, mentally estimating the height of the wall. Adjusting his stance, he took a deep breath and leaped onto the wall with agility, then jumped down without hesitation. "Perfect!" With a flawless landing, Pei Youxi couldn’t help but give himself an arrogant pat on the back—this was no challenge for him. "Over there! Don’t let her escape, chase her!" A chorus of footsteps rushed toward the gate. Ahead was the corner; if he could run out of this road, he should be able to intercept the taxi and escape this hellhole. Pei Youxi closed his eyes and charged forward with all his might.
Screech—The sudden screech of a car’s brakes nearly shattered Pei Youxi’s eardrums. Before she could even react, her body slammed into the engine hood and bounced back onto the ground. This was Pei Youxi’s last thought before losing consciousness.
The door was quickly opened, and a tall, dark figure stepped forward, casting a shadow over Pei Youxi. In the dim light, it was impossible to discern the expression on Teng Haitang’s face. He lowered his head slightly to examine Pei Youxi’s injuries.
"Quick, find someone to check over there." The clamorous voices and footsteps arrived one after another. Teng Haitang frowned slightly, grabbed Pei Youxi and lifted her into the car, tossing her large backpack beside her. In the night, the silver-gray BMW convertible roared away.
Bright sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious and luminous room. Pei Youxi struggled to open her heavy eyelids and found herself staring at a light blue ceiling. To her astonishment, the ceiling was intricately painted with foxes, glass-enclosed roses, and the Little Prince with the star on his shoulder. Pei Youxi gazed at them in fascination for a long time before realizing she was lying on an unfamiliar, luxurious bed with hand-carved, lifelike rose vines.
What was going on? She sat up abruptly. Where was she? How did she get here? A string of questions swirled in her mind. Well, wait—she remembered escaping the garden last night. While crossing the road, a car had swerved toward her, and she hadn’t been able to react in time, slamming into the front bumper. Then… and now… she opened her eyes to find herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
Pei Youxi ripped off the thin blanket and jumped off the bed barefoot. "Ouch!" She realized her left calf was wrapped in gauze, and her arms bore several traces of bandaged scrapes. What shocked her the most was that she wasn’t wearing her usual clothes but a cream-colored cotton nightgown. Oh my god, what was going on here?!
