"Welcome to my house," Xue Yi Ming said as he swung the door open and led Yang Yun in.

Yang Yun tightened his grip on his bag as he stepped into the room. He was feeling a bit lightheaded after he stepped out of the metal box.

He looked at this new world and found that everything was bizarre. The buildings were taller than trees. The carriage did not need a horse to move, and the people here dressed thinly. Yang Yun almost could not keep his head up as he saw how the girls in this world dress up.

He thought that the world he saw from the window was too suffocating and scary. But he dare not voice his fear and discomfort.

Chief Ye had warned him that those from the outside world might not be treating him in a friendly manner. Once, a member of their tribe was almost burned to death. The people from the other world had accused her of witchcraft. Fortunately, the tribe member escaped in time and lived to tell the story.

However, with such stories, Yang Yun did not dare to act boldly in front of others. Before he found his Mingyue, he has to protect himself well. If he died in this world due to his careless action, then everything will be pointless.

"You can make yourself at home," Xue Yi Ming said as he closed the door behind him. "I live alone, but once every week, Auntie Wu will come over to tidy up this place and deliver some food."

Yang Yun stood still as he looked around the room.

"Eh, what are you doing there," Xue Yi Ming tugged on Yang Yun's hand and led him towards the sofa. "Sit here. Right. I haven't clean up the guest's room. You stay here and come over when I call you. Are you thirsty? Do you want something to drink?"

Yang Yun watched Xue Yi Ming moved around the room and disappeared behind the wall. A few seconds later, he came back with a glass of plain water.

"You drink this first," Xue Yi Ming placed the glass on the table. "Just stay here for a few minutes. You can switch on the TV if you want."

After saying that, Xue Yi Ming disappeared again. Yang Yun finally took a deep breath and sunk into his seat. His eyes wandered around to look at everything. There were a few things that he was familiar with, and a lot of things he was not familiar with. In this world, everything was too strange.

When Xue Yi Ming returned to the living room, he found that Yang Yun was still at the same posture he was when he left him. "Why didn't you switch on the TV? Couldn't find the remote?" Xue Yi Ming lifted a few small pillows on the sofa, grabbed the remote and switched on the TV.

Yang Yun inhaled a sharp breath when he saw a black bear in the black box. He instantly tightened his fist for fear that the bear might attack them soon. However, before Yang Yun could stand up, the bear had disappeared, and the view changed a few times before a man appeared on the box.


"Let's just watch the news since nothing was interesting," Xue Yi Ming said.

Yang Yun could only nod. He watched how Xue Yi Ming acted and tried to copy his movement so that it will not be awkward for him to move. He sat silently on the sofa and stared at the man in the box. The man said something about the economy, but Yang Yun could not understand most of the things that the man had said.

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest? I'll show you to your room," Xue Yi Ming asked as the world news switched to the sports section. He stood up and looked at Yang Yun. At this time, his cellphone rang in the pocket. He glanced at the caller ID and told Yang Yun to wait for him as he took the call.

"Xue Yi Ming, hello?" a soft female voice came the other side.

"Um. What is it?" His voice sounded distance. However, his expression softened, and there was a slight smile on his face.

There was a brief silence before the woman spoke again. "I heard you were in an accident a few days ago. Are you alright?"

"Your sister told you?" Xue Yi Ming spoke as he leaned on the kitchen counter.

"Otherwise?"

Xue Yi Ming took a deep breath. "I'm fine. But the guy I hit was not so good," he then briefed her about the accident and his arrangement to let Yang Yun stay with him until he healed.

"Is it okay to let a stranger live with you?"

Xue Yi Ming thought about it for a while. When he thought of how he was the one who caused the accident, and Yang Yun was without anyone in this city, Xue Yi Ming knew that he made the right decision. It would be pitiful to let Yang Yun live by himself with his injury. Besides, the man promised that he would not pursue the matter. "It will be alright," Xue Yi Ming said.

"What if he scammed you and one day you found your valuable missing?"

Xue Yi Ming scoffed. "We'll see if he dares. The security here is top-notch. I'll call him my grandfather if he could steal anything. What is it? Lin Tian Yu, are you worried about me?"

"Yes. I'm worried that you would be too stupid."

A small smile curved on his lips. "Really? Why do I sense that you were worried?"

"Don't overthink. I was only trying to make small talk," Lin Tian Yu said. "Anyway, I only called because it will be my father's birthday in two weeks. He wanted you to come over."

"So you called to invite me?"

"Otherwise?" Li Tian Yu said impatiently. "I already said what I wanted to say, Bye-bye."

Xue Yi Ming stared at his phone after the girl hung up and chuckled. His gaze softened as he thought about Lin Tian Yu. After a while, Xue Yi Ming went back to the living room and found Yang Yun watching the TV. "Come on. I'll show you around."

Yang Yun nodded. Soon, Xue Yi Ming took him to his room and showed him around the house.

"If there's anything you need, you can tell me," Xue Yi Ming said. "I'll do whatever I can to help you."

"That," Yang Yun hesitated. "If I wanted to look for someone, where can I start?"

Xue Yi Ming stared at Yang Yun and recalled that he had once said he came to the city to look for his missing wife. "I guess you can start by asking around at the police station. Don't worry. I'll help you to find your wife."
