Ruthless Host and Her Little Darling Quick Transmigration

Li Mo is conducting an experiment in the basement.

Originally, we wanted to find a well-lit room to use as a laboratory, but Li's mother absolutely refused.

There are so many rooms in the villa; they can be used for servants, or left to gather dust, but they won't let him convert them into a laboratory.

With his younger sister not home, Mr. Li looked away, clearly acquiescing to Mrs. Li's decision.

"Conducting experiments is so dangerous, what if an explosion occurs?"

"I was just conducting a small experiment; there was absolutely no explosive component. Besides, you are my family, and this is my home. How could I possibly bring anything dangerous back?"

"Even if it doesn't explode, what if there's radiation? I've heard that the equipment used in experiments emits a lot of radiation, and many researchers go bald at a young age."

"Everything I brought back is completely natural and pollution-free. If you don't believe me, I can show you."

Before Li Mo could even take the item out, Li's mother had already taken several steps back, as if she were avoiding some kind of monstrous flood.

Li Mo's hand froze in mid-air, and his face turned extremely ugly.

Mrs. Li realized how hurtful her actions had been and gave an awkward laugh. "Don't take it out. I trust you, okay? Even if you do, I won't recognize it."

Li's mother stepped forward, tugged at Li Mo's sleeve with two fingers, forced a smile, and said, "Mom believes in you, really."

If you want to do experiments, do them in the basement. It's spacious and private there, and no one will bother you.

"Don't you need a quiet environment when doing experiments? This place is just right."

Li Mo forced a smile; he thought he wouldn't be able to laugh, but he actually did. "If you're really worried, I can move out."

"How about that?"

Li's mother's voice was raised very high, as if the person forced to move out was not Li Mo, but herself.

"It's just an experiment, isn't it? Do you really have to move out? When we were in school, you lived off-campus, and that was one thing. Now that we're successful and can live together, you want to move out. What will the neighbors think?"

Li Mo opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. He was exhausted; every time he came back, he was living in this oppressive environment.

He didn't know what his parents were thinking, and he increasingly didn't want to know their thoughts. He'd just let things take their course; he still had his own dreams.

"I'm going to the basement." Li Mo weakly pulled away from his mother's hand, took his things, and went to the basement.

As soon as Li Mo left, Li's mother rushed into the bathroom. She washed Li Mo's hand repeatedly, complaining as she did so. "He's at the research institute every day, who knows if he's picked up any viruses! What if there's a zombie outbreak? Our whole family would be finished!"

"What kind of virus could it be? If you keep acting like this, your son will eventually become estranged from you."

As soon as Li Mo opened the basement door, his mother's voice drifted over from afar.

Li Mo paused briefly, staring expressionlessly at the dark basement, then stretched out his leg and stepped inside.

Closing the basement door isolates the inside from the outside, creating two separate worlds.

In the suburbs of Beijing, an elderly man in his fifties got out of a taxi and began to laugh wildly.

"There's always a way out, son. I'm going to avenge you! If you're watching over me from heaven, please watch over me."

The old man rushed home, used all his savings to buy a second-hand minivan, and bribed a street urchin.

For the next few days, a van was parked in front of a prestigious school.

In the basement, Li Mo's communicator rang. He quickly finished his work, opened the communicator, and saw it was from an unknown number.

The call connected, and a pretty yet lovely girl appeared before Li Mo.

Li Mo stared blankly at the projection of the other person, feeling as if a single glance could last a lifetime. His heart pounded wildly, completely out of his control.

Is this what it means to be moved?

Li Mo pinched himself hard, reminding himself: Don't be impulsive, these are all natural phenomena!

Spending so much time in the lab makes even sows look incredibly beautiful!

When Li Mo stared at her in a daze, Qin Baobao was also stunned. The reason was simple: she had seen this person in other worlds.

Same appearance, same name

They said these two people have no relation...

I don’t even believe it!

"Mr. Li, hello. My name is Huang Wei, and I am a research enthusiast. I have heard of your great reputation from others, and I wonder if I would like to have the opportunity to get to know you?"

"Uh...ahem..."

Li Mo found his throat terribly dry, unable to utter a single word. His heart pounded like a drum, vibrating in his ears. Li Mo even suspected that the other person could hear his heartbeat through the communicator.

Ignoring his increasingly red ears, Li Mo took a step back, cleared his throat, and spoke with feigned composure, "I'm very busy and don't make friends. Unless there's something else, let's not contact each other again."

After saying no, something sank to the bottom of the valley with a "thud." A sour, throbbing feeling welled up in his heart, and something unseen suddenly left. Li Mo reached out to grab it, opened his mouth to try and hold it back, and for a moment he was at a loss.

If someone approaches Qin Baobao with such a perfunctory excuse, Qin Baobao will reject him without hesitation.

So when Qin Baobao heard the rejection and saw Li Mo's serious face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and threw her absurd guess to the back of her mind.

I hope I'm just overthinking it...

As a former friend, she didn't dislike Li Mo, nor did she want to become an acquaintance with whom she would never speak again.

Perhaps it's just someone who descended to earth to undergo tribulation...

Just keep a calm mind.

"If you'd like to exchange ideas or conduct research, you're welcome to come anytime. My address is XX, XX Community. If you're from out of town, my family's circumstances are average, but we provide meals and accommodation."

After saying this, Li Mo himself was shocked, his eyes widening. "What I mean is, if you have any research questions, you can ask me anytime."

No, I meant... let's be friends.

Why are you saying one thing and meaning another?

For the first time, Li Mo struck a blow to his brilliant mind in front of others.

Qin Baobao brought that absurd conjecture back to reality once again. She realized she had been too hasty in putting her mind at ease.

She looked at him intently, trying to see through his outward appearance to his soul.

Could this be that immortal lord?

Qin Baobao's expression became somewhat inscrutable.

Li Mo, Li Mo, you must not let me down.
