After listening to Yuan Sheng's retelling, Yuan Lai carefully recalled the time when she was a cat at Houdoumen. She did see her family going to Yunlin Temple to pray for blessings, and she also saw herself lying in the hospital.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed as if all the timelines aligned. My July self traveled back to Houdoumen and saw my March self. What an amazing life experience.

It was because I went back to the back door and my parents met Qi Rong that I woke up. No wonder my parents felt very familiar with Qi Rong when they first met him.

Yuan Lai collapsed on the sofa, feeling the CPU temperature continue to rise. "Yuan Sheng, why did you choose Yuanbao?"

Yuan Sheng dismantled the dog wolf and poured it for Yuan Bao, then replaced it with new water and replied, "Because I have seen Yuan Bao before!"

He pointed at the collar around Yuanbao's neck and said, "I recognized Yuanbao because of this collar. Coincidentally, during the time you were lying in the hospital, Yuanbao was wandering around the area. Later, I took him to the veterinary hospital for sterilization, and I don't know how he ended up in the pet store you recommended. I was also surprised to see Yuanbao."

Thunder roared outside the window. Yuan Lai walked to the window and looked at the gradually wet raindrops outside. He couldn't help but feel his eyes moist. "Am I destined to go to the steep back door?"

"Sister, what did you say?" Yuan Sheng took Yuan Bao upstairs and heard Yuan Lai mumbling to herself.

Yuan Lai replied, "Nothing. By the way, what progress have you made over there?"

"Hey, Mo Jingxin ran off with Wen Zhifan a long time ago, so what progress can there be? As for your brother, I'm afraid I'll never meet someone who can move my heart again."

"I'm still feeling emotional at such a young age."

After a whole night of spring rain, the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room through the window. Yuan Lai opened his eyes and saw the blue sky outside the window, and his mood became particularly happy.

Yuan Lai jumped up from the bed.

Although there are not many gatherings, we still need to arrange them well.

She turned her wardrobe upside down, trying to find the most suitable clothes. After careful selection, she put together more than a dozen sets of clothes in different styles, but there were only a few that really satisfied her.

Just when she was feeling a little depressed, her eyes suddenly fell on the simple and elegant suspender dress in the corner.

After cleaning up, Yuan Lai went downstairs and saw a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table, which was obviously left for her by her mother.

There was a note under the plate, "Remember to eat breakfast. The gift will be deposited into your new bank card. Happy birthday."

After reading the note, Yuan Lai finished his breakfast as quickly as possible and couldn't wait to change his shoes and go out.

In the morning, I will go to get together with my classmates, then go to Lin Tingting for lunch at noon, and go to Houdoumen to find Hongbao and Anan in the afternoon. In the evening, I will wait for Qi Rong to get off work, then give the necklace to him and have a candlelight dinner. It will be a perfect birthday.

Yuan Lai hesitated in the garage for a long time, and finally gave up driving out. Yuan Sheng's words lingered in her mind, and for safety reasons it would be safer to take the bus.

Yuan Lai lived 800 meters away from the nearest bus stop. She walked slowly along the street alone.

Suddenly, two men appeared in front of me. They wore masks and hats, completely concealing their faces. One of them was carefully holding something in his arms. Judging from its size, the wrapped object looked like a puppy.

The two men passed by Yuan Lai slowly, talking to each other in very low voices:

"Which intersection did we turn from?"

Another person responded: "It should be the intersection ahead."

"You must not remember it wrongly." The person who asked the question earlier emphasized.

"Don't worry, we won't be wrong. Let's go quickly." After saying that, the two of them quickened their pace.

At this moment, there was a "ding-ling" sound.

A small blue object suddenly fell to the ground. Yuan Lai subconsciously turned around and shouted at the two figures walking away, "Hey, you dropped something!"

But the two men ignored Yuan Lai's shouts and instead of stopping, they sped up their pace. In the blink of an eye, they had crossed the traffic light and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Yuan Lai quickly walked to the spot where the object had fallen, bent down to pick up the small object on the ground and examined it carefully. When she touched it, an extremely familiar feeling instantly came over her.

Isn't this the bead on the longevity lock? Thinking of the two men who had just behaved strangely and the unidentified object in their arms that looked like a puppy, Yuan Lai couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition.

Yuan Lai quickly reached out and hailed a passing taxi. He opened the door, got in, and said to the driver, "Master, please drive slowly along this side of the road. I need to confirm the specific location with my friends."

Yuan Lai anxiously called Lin Tingting and said hurriedly, "Tingting, this is urgent! Contact Sister Ranran immediately and ask if Jiang Qingtian is still with her. If not, ask her to call the police immediately!"

Lin Tingting on the other end of the phone was confused and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Yuan Lai replied very quickly: "There is no time to explain it to you in detail now. I will tell you the details later!" Then he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Yuan Lai then quickly dialed Qi Rong's number, but the line kept failing to connect. This made Yuan Lai extremely anxious, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

She suddenly encountered a serious problem—her phone was out of battery! She couldn't help but curse herself: "What a fool! Why did I forget to bring my power bank when I went out?"

In desperation, Yuan Lai had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the driver for help: "Driver, I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery. Can I borrow yours?"

The driver was quite forthright. He picked up a spare phone from the side and handed it to Yuan Lai, saying, "I can lend it to you, but the charges will be added to your fare."

Yuan Lai nodded repeatedly: "No problem!" After getting the phone, Yuan Lai immediately called his brother Yuan Sheng and anxiously instructed: "Yuan Sheng, go directly to Xingyao Entertainment to find Qi Rong."

Yuan Sheng on the other end of the phone was obviously startled by her sister's anxious tone, and asked in confusion: "Hey, sister, can you be a little more reserved?"

Before Yuan Sheng could finish his words, Yuan Lai interrupted him: "I don't have time to explain to you. Hurry up and find Qi Rong. Tell him that I'm in danger and ask him to come and save me as soon as possible!"

"Hey, sister, what's wrong with you? You..." Yuan Lai returned the phone to the driver and pointed at two people not far ahead and said, "Stop right here!"
