The Kyoto XX Hotel is swamped with work to accommodate hundreds of people from "Hana-Kimi" and "Super Boy".

Because hotel check-in requires registration of ID cards and facial recognition, a large group of people lined up at the front desk.

This naturally affected Shi Youyou and her companion, who wanted to book a hotel room.

At this moment, she was nestled in the arms of a middle-aged man, her brows furrowed in slight impatience.

"Why are you taking so long? Didn't you already tell the manager to skip the process and go up first?"

The man smiled and comforted her, "You can't wait that long already?"

"Don't be so intimate with me. I'm still a few months away from turning 18. Let me make this clear beforehand: you're currently my relative."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Then she added, "I'm here on business, and I need to keep records."

"Brother, aren't you afraid the authorities will find out that you and I were having an affair?" Shi Youyou asked with a sly smile.

The middle-aged man's smile carried a hint of arrogance, "The owner of this hotel has a very close relationship with me. Would he dare?"

"I don't care, there are too many people here, I'm so bored, I'm going to go outside for a walk." She pouted.

The older man was very receptive to this, and immediately left leisurely when it was time to let go.

Su Ran and Little Butterfly were openly watching from not far away.

The director originally wanted to use the public security system to see what Su Ran looked like.

Unexpectedly, from the moment Su Ran entered the hotel until now, the staff has not allowed Su Ran to have her face recorded.

This was undoubtedly Zhong Jue's doing. No one knows what he did, but Su Ran was able to check in without an ID card.

At first, she wanted to go straight into the room, but when she looked around, she saw Shi Youyou hiding there.

How could Su Ran possibly let such a good opportunity slip by?

Shi An happened to be in line inside, playing on his phone out of boredom, so he naturally didn't see what was happening.

So Su Ran, who was originally standing in a hidden place to avoid being noticed, deliberately walked to the front door and exposed herself.

“Look, isn’t that a ghostly voice? She’s staying at the same hotel as us.”

"That's right, it's Ghost Voice. I saw it at the door just now. This hotel is hosting contestants from 'Hana-Kimi' and 'Super Boy'."

"This is a great opportunity! I think this person is very promising. She's bound to become a huge star. Let's ask her for her autograph."

"Together!"

As a result, more and more people gathered at the entrance, blocking the way completely, and Shi Youyou couldn't find a way out even if she wanted to leave.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Ran sneaked up to Shi Youyou's side and bumped into her forcefully, seemingly unintentionally!

Shi Youyou crashed into Shi An as if she had been flying.

Shi An's phone was knocked to the ground and cracked.

At the same time, the middle-aged man, looking distressed, reached out his hands, as if to take Shi Youyou from Shi An's arms.

Upon recognizing the person in his arms, Shi An immediately hugged Shi Youyou tightly and angrily demanded of the middle-aged man, "What are you doing?"

He was actually very happy, thinking that Shi Youyou had specially come to the hotel to see him.

But what's wrong with this greasy middle-aged man?

The middle-aged man looked displeased when he saw his woman being held in the arms of such a young and handsome man. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shi Youyou call out, "Brother."

He thought it was calling him, so he said in a soft tone, "Hey, come into your brother's arms quickly."

Shi An's face instantly turned ashen.

"Old pervert!"

"Who are you calling a pervert? The one in your arms is my sister!"

"Don't you realize you're getting on in years? Trying to seduce a young girl? I might sue you for indecent assault!"

"Young man, if you piss me off, I'll make sure you can't survive in the whole of China!"

Who do you think you are?

Shi Youyou panicked and didn't know what to do. She quickly got out of Shi An's arms and said to him, "Brother, I came here specifically to see you. This is an elder I know who is much older than me. She often attends my concerts and usually treats me like a younger sister. Today, I'd like to introduce you two to each other."

Upon hearing Shi Youyou's words, the two men's expressions changed in a complex and unpredictable manner.

The middle-aged man, named Li Baiheng, was a deputy section chief in Jiangcheng, wielding some real power. Upon learning that this young man was his mistress's brother, his expression immediately changed.

"Hmph, Youyou, your brother is a bit impolite. If it weren't for you, your brother would be finished."

"Don't be angry, my brother just misunderstood." Shi Youyou turned to look at Shi An, "Brother, apologize to him."

Shi An rolled her eyes at him. Apologize? This guy clearly had ulterior motives.

Although he felt something was off between the two, Shi An still chose to believe Shi Youyou's words, but he didn't trust this sleazy man.

Youyou must be too naive and haven't seen much of the wickedness in people's hearts to get close to this man.

Shi An knew Shi Youyou as an outstanding person who had always maintained a clean reputation and would never engage in such disreputable activities.

That's a shortcut only someone with insufficient ability would take; his sister, Shi Youyou, would never do it.

What's more, he's an old man over forty, old enough to be their father.

"Youyou, go back quickly, I'm afraid bad people will have their eyes on you." The words were full of veiled criticism of the middle-aged man.

Li Baiheng was furious when he heard this!

He glared at Shi An, ready to berate him.

However, there were too many people around, and even though Li Baiheng was just a minor official, he was afraid of being seen by those with ulterior motives. So he immediately chose to let the matter rest, thinking about how to get revenge on Shi Youyou.

A hint of regret flashed across Su Ran's eyes as she watched the scene unfold from outside.

The little butterfly's initially excited heart calmed down.

[Host, how can Shi An be so stupid? He can't even see that.]

"There's plenty of time in the future, and I have another gift here."

Su Ran picked up her phone, and on the screen was a photo of Shi Youyou nestled in Li Baiheng's arms.

[Host, why are you filming this? Wouldn't it have been better to let Shi An see it directly?]

"It's not fun if you see it directly."

【why? 】

"I want to lead Shi Youyou into an abyss from which there is no return."

Why not just prove she committed perjury in a school violence case?

"That's not enough. It's just a prison sentence. As long as she has admirers after she gets out, she can still live a happy life."

The little butterfly vaguely sensed that something was wrong with its host; if it had any hairs, it would probably be upside down by now.

"Little Butterfly, to destroy a person, you have to destroy their spiritual pillar. Shi Youyou's spiritual pillar has never been becoming an excellent pianist or the most perfect and outstanding daughter of the Shi family."

"But—she wants to be me."

"And I will never let her achieve her goal."

The little butterfly couldn't help but shiver.

The host's eyes are terrifying, so insane.

Su Ran had vaguely known Shi Youyou's purpose since she was a child.

She was better at disguising herself than her mother, Wang Xiaoxia.

She would imitate Su Ran's smile, wear the same dress as Su Ran, and mimic Su Ran's every move in order to gain the attention of Shi Zheng and Shi An.

Despite having a different face, Shi Youyou has the exact same expression as Su Ran.

That expression had disappeared over the eleven-year gap.

Eleven years later, when Su Ran returned to the Shi family, on the day she took off her mask, she saw Shi Youyou secretly imitating her again.

She wanted to completely become Su Ran!

Learning piano and becoming an internationally renowned pianist has never been Shi Youyou's dream.

It was a wish that Su Ran made when she was five years old.

Therefore, if the real Su Ran stood in front of her, she would only appear as a counterfeit.

The kettle of boiling water I had when I was five years old wasn't put in by Wang Xiaoxia.

She didn't know what caused Shi Youyou to develop such a distorted idea.

But at least one thing is certain: she wants Shi Youyou to always be herself!

Be yourself, haha, those three words sound very inspiring, right?

But for Shi Youyou, it was like a curse from hell.

She always hated herself and always longed for Su Ran, to the point of being obsessed.

After Su Ran left, the tall, elegant man behind the door looked dignified in his perfectly pressed suit.

He gazed in the direction Su Ran had gone, a slight smile playing on his lips.
