Bai Lixin: “Oh, is the person cleaning the room male or female?”

Aunt Zhang: “Young Master, you even forgot this? The one cleaning the room is Sister Wang.”

Bai Lixin: “Only her?”

Aunt Zhang: “Yes, only her.”

Bai Lixin: “Did a man enter this room earlier?”

A hesitant look appeared on Mrs. Zhang’s face, “I don’t know about that. I’ve been busy on the first floor since 5 AM. If a man entered, it might be…”

She paused, and the rest of her words remained unsaid.

Bai Lixin: “Might be what…?”

Aunt Zhang’s gaze flickered, “Nothing, nothing at all. Maybe it doesn’t exist. Yes, if a man entered, maybe it doesn’t exist.”

Bai Lixin said “oh”, and didn’t press further. “Okay, I got it. Thank you, Aunt Zhang. You can leave now.”

Aunt Zhang frowned, and secretly glanced at Bai Lixin with a puzzled look. She nodded and ultimately left the room without saying anything, gently closing the door behind her.

Only Bai Lixin remained in the room.

S419M’s voice immediately echoed in his mind, [Lord Host, you were right. This family is indeed strange.]

Bai Lixin lifted his eyelids slightly, slowly surveying the room.

It had a luxurious decoration style.

Heavily patterned luxurious wallpaper, waxed, reflective high-end flooring, and a massive, intricate bed.

The decoration of this room exuded the European and American aristocratic style of the 18th century.

He walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and took a quick look. The wardrobe was full of various styles of clothes.

There were European-style jackets with suspenders, simple and crisp white shirts, and even a few sets of student uniforms.

In the end, he didn’t choose any clothes from the wardrobe. Instead, he picked out clothes from his backpack and headed into the bathroom.

Having spent the night at the abandoned construction site yesterday, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

As a wealthy family, the bathroom was much more luxurious than an ordinary one. This small bathroom could even match the size of an ordinary bedroom In an average household.

The bathroom had a separate shower and bathtub, and there was a full-length mirror on the wall. The mirror covered an entire wall, allowing him to see whatever happened in this bathroom clearly.

Just as he was about to undress, his gaze fell on the huge full-length mirror over there.

Originally, he had gripped the corner of his clothes to lift them up, but he put it down again. He walked to the full-length mirror with a slight frown.

S419 asked, [What’s wrong, Lord Host?]

Bai Lixin didn’t answer but reached out, lightly touching the surface of the full-length mirror.

His reflection in the full-length mirror also raised his hand and touched the mirror.

At the moment when the fingertips touched, there was no gap in the middle.

S419: [Fuck, is this a two-way mirror? Damn, pervert. Installing a two-way mirror in the bathroom, what does this mirror installer want to do!]

Bai Lixin: […]

The meaning of a two-way mirror is that on one side, it appears to be a normal reflective mirror, but on the other side, it is transparent. When looking from the other side, it is just glass, and you can easily see through the mirror to the other side.

Some hotels or rental places are also equipped with such mirrors by criminals. The simplest and most effective way to identify whether it is a two-way mirror is to firmly press an object against the mirror.

If there is a few millimeters of space between the reflection in the mirror and the real object, it is a normal mirror. However, if there is no space between the reflection in the mirror and the real object, it is a two-way mirror.

If you encounter such a situation while residing outside, it’s appropriate to directly call the police.

Bai Lixin straightened his clothes, took two steps back, and sat on the edge of the bathtub, looking at the mirror thoughtfully.

His chin was slightly lowered, soft bangs and dense eyelashes obscured his gaze in the shadows, making it hard to discern.

Whatever the young man was thinking, he sat quietly for several minutes before standing up, gave a sneer, and left the bathroom.

He now had a rough idea that this wasn’t some temporary setup but a real occurrence in this sandwiched world.

He had only been in this world for a day, but before his arrival, there was already someone named “Bai Lixin” in this world.

Or rather, that existence might not truly be named “Bai Lixin.” It could be that just because he was named “Bai Lixin,” the game world harmonized itself, changing this individual’s name to “Bai Lixin.”

It was like character settings In a holographic virtual game.

The name he chose for the game determined how others would address him.

As for the person altered to be “Bai Lixin,” what they were originally called and what stories they had didn’t matter.

Bai Lixin glanced at the bathroom door expressionlessly, then returned to the bedroom.

A knocking sound came from outside. Bai Lixin walked to the door, opened it, and found Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang pushed in a food trolley, saying, “Young Master, this is the breakfast I just prepared for you. It’s time to eat.”

Bai Lixin said, “Thank you,” and pointed to the adjacent room, “Aunt Zhang, whose room is next door?”

“Next door is an empty room, Young Master,” Aunt Zhang answered. “No one lives there, and it’s usually locked.”

Bai Lixin asked, “Then who usually goes to the next room?”

“The key to the next-door room is held by the Eldest Young Master. It seems that he is the only one who can go in. Actually, I don’t know what’s inside that room because the Eldest Young Master never lets us enter it.”

Aunt Zhang was older than the Madam, and appeared to be in her fifties. She gestured to the food on the trolley, “Young Master, you better eat something first.”

Bai Lixin responded with an “Oh” and allowed Aunt Zhang to push the trolley into the bedroom.

Aunt Zhang arranged the dishes on the table one by one. Afterward, she didn’t leave but stood quietly on the side, seemingly waiting for Bai Lixin to finish eating before leaving.

Originally, Bai Lixin didn’t feel hungry, but now, seeing the steaming food, he suddenly felt a long-lost sense of hunger. Yielding to his appetite, Bai Lixin sat at the dining table and began eating.

Breakfast consisted of simple soy milk, vegetables, porridge, and eggs.

After taking a sip of the soy milk, the aroma lingered between his lips and teeth.

He narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and continued to take another bite.

His current state resembled that of before becoming a god, meaning, compared to his divine body, he now felt more like an ordinary human.

While eating, the corner of his eye kept observing Aunt Zhang. She remained motionless in the corner, appearing somewhat absent-minded.

In a large family, the servants have the keenest sense when something happens among the masters.

They know many secrets but must keep silent due to their status.

Until he finished breakfast, Aunt Zhang dutifully cleaned the dishes and prepared to leave.

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to push the food trolley away, Bai Lixin suddenly spoke, “Aunt Zhang, did I make a mistake coming back?”

Aunt Zhang abruptly turned around, her pupils shrinking as she gazed at Bai Lixin.
