A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

"Oh, you mean her? She's my colleague's child. She's been busy lately, away on a business trip, so she asked me to look after her."

Upon hearing his friend's question, Xiang Yuntian quickly began to explain.

"I see." Jiang Shuai nodded slightly, and as he spoke, he walked closer, his gaze fixed on Bai Mengfei's eyes, as if trying to find something in them.

"This little girl is really quite special!"

Both Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were startled by these words.

Jiang Shuai glanced at Bai Mengfei again and said.

"When I saw her eyes, I compared them to my master's, and they were so similar, both so special."

"You mean that master?" Xiang Yuntian asked, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Shuai laughed heartily and nodded in acknowledgment, "That's right! It's her."

"Their eyes revealed an indescribable composure and wisdom, the kind that made them seem extraordinary."

"Especially this child, she's so young, yet she has such eyes. Tsk tsk, I'm starting to wonder if she's some kind of powerful being reincarnated from a novel." With that, he burst into laughter.

Xiang Yuntian was afraid that Bai Mengfei's identity would be exposed, which would then trigger a series of troubles.

He quickly waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "Go away, go away, the other child is right there, stop talking nonsense."

"Oh, I was just joking." Jiang Shuai couldn't stop laughing. "But to be fair, this girl is quite mature, and I guess she's very independent. I have a good eye for people, okay?"

"Oh right, you're right, alright?" Xiang Yuntian forced a smile. "Let's not talk about that. Did you find a place to stay before you came here?"

The topic shifted, and the direction of their conversation quickly changed.

Jiang Shuai immediately replied, "That's why I called you. I was thinking of asking you to help me find a suitable place to stay."

Bai Mengfei stood quietly to the side, watching the two of them talk, while remaining silent herself.

Actually, she was quite good at judging people. She felt that Jiang Shuai was just a handsome young man. Although he was clever and quick-witted, he was simple-minded and had no guile.

She secretly compared Jiang Shuai and Xiang Yuntian in her mind and felt that Jiang Shuai was somewhat heartless.

Thinking this way, she lowered her guard a little.

That night, Jiang Shuai stayed temporarily at Xiang Yuntian's house.

Early the next morning, Xiang Yuntian took Jiang Shuai to look for a suitable house.

Because she had gone to bed late the night before, Bai Mengfei didn't wake up until nine o'clock in the morning.

After getting up, she felt that her eyelids were heavy, as if they were glued on, and she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

This situation had never occurred in her previous life.

She slowly walked to the full-length mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, and reached out her right hand to gently ruffle her disheveled hair. Looking at herself in the mirror, she still felt that it was all like a dream, unreal.

She pondered to herself that the root of the problem, given her current state, might lie in the original owner's body.

After all, the original owner's life in the past must have been difficult, which led to a weak constitution and this situation.

She stared blankly at herself in the mirror for a while before gradually getting used to it, and subconsciously wanted to get herself something to eat.

Just as I stepped into the kitchen, the doorbell rang suddenly.

In the past, when she reached the door, she would bend down and look through the peephole to see what was happening outside.

But now, she has to stand on tiptoe to barely see.

This physical change brought her a lot of inconvenience.

She squinted and strained to see before she could make out that the person standing outside the door was Xiang Yuntian, so she quickly opened the door.

Seeing that she looked like she had just woken up, Xiang Yuntian asked with concern, "How are you? Are you settling in alright?"

This question left her momentarily speechless.

After all, one's own soul resides in someone else's body; how can one describe it as mere habit?

And what can you do if you're not used to it? Are you going to get stabbed twice more and die again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian, with his sharp eyes, happened to witness this scene. However, he didn't say anything; instead, a hint of joy welled up in his heart because of Bai Mengfei's small gesture.

As Bai Mengfei turned and went inside, Xiang Yuntian followed closely behind and asked with concern, "By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"I haven't eaten yet." Bai Mengfei was still a little dazed.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian quickly stepped forward and said, "That's perfect. Come on, I'll treat you to breakfast."

“This…” Bai Mengfei instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she thought about how troublesome cooking was, she hesitated for a moment and finally agreed: “Okay, wait for me, I haven’t washed up yet.”

Since she didn't need to wear makeup, she got ready quite quickly.

When they arrived at their destination, Bai Mengfei was surprised to find that the place Xiang Yuntian had brought her to was the restaurant they used to frequent.

The moment Bai Mengfei stepped into the restaurant, she instantly rediscovered a familiar feeling from the past. However, the thought that she had now become a little girl felt like time had reversed.

A sense of loss and change welled up in her heart.

Seeing her standing there in a daze at the door, Xiang Yuntian walked over and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

She then came to her senses and quickly said, "I'm fine, let's eat."

The two sat down and ordered food. Xiang Yuntian not only ordered for himself, but also thoughtfully ordered Bai Mengfei's favorite dishes.

"I'll have a milk tea and three cookies. She'll have a taro milk tea with less ice and a bowl of stir-fried spaghetti, plus a poached egg."

Unexpectedly, after so long, Xiang Yuntian still remembered clearly what he ordered during their only breakfast together.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei felt a surge of emotion, her eyes reddened slightly, and she almost burst into tears, but she still managed to suppress her emotions.

After the waiter left, Xiang Yuntian quickly noticed the touched expression on Bai Mengfei's face.

He knew Bai Mengfei's thoughts, but he didn't want to see her shed tears because she was moved by his love, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I often came here for breakfast while you were away."

Bai Mengfei was so moved that she didn't know how to respond, and could only softly reply, "Oh."

To ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Xiang Yuntian chuckled and continued, "But I've always suspected they changed chefs, you know? Later, you, my long-time customer, can help me taste it and see if it's what I suspect."

Bai Mengfei knew in her heart that Xiang Yuntian was most likely joking, so she pursed her lips, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and revealed a gentle smile. After the food she ordered was served, Bai Mengfei, as usual, took a small bite. The familiar taste spread on her tongue, as if she had suddenly found her former self.

"It still tastes the same as before."

She said with genuine emotion.

Xiang Yuntian took a bite of the cookie in his hand, his expression happy, and replied casually, "Yes, it's the same. It's just that without you by my side, the whole world seems to have changed."

After saying that, Xiang Yuntian gave a soft, bitter laugh, a hint of loneliness and sadness showing between his brows.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei felt a pang of sorrow and couldn't help but want to cry.

She quickly stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

She was really worried that she would burst into tears in front of Xiang Yuntian at any moment, letting him know that she had always harbored different feelings for him, which would be too embarrassing.

After all, she has always found it difficult to accept relationships between older women and younger men, even though it is undeniable that she had fallen in love with this intelligent young man a long time ago.

Without waiting for Xiang Yuntian's response, she hurriedly turned and walked away.

Before she even entered the restroom, she smelled the odor of a corpse outside.

Bai Mengfei was stunned, and her expression immediately became serious.

Because she had been in this industry for so long, she could identify it immediately, and she could also quickly distinguish the type of corpse and the approximate time of death from the smell.

Different people emit similar yet distinct odors after death.

The intensity of odors under appropriate temperature and humidity conditions can also be used to estimate the approximate time of death.
