Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Shen Ying swallowed hard, her head swaying slightly. Her mind, which had been dazed by the handsome man in front of her, finally cleared up a little.

Her eyes darted away, and she stammered, "Um, I'm awake now and need to change my clothes. Could you please leave for a moment?"

Murong Xiangxun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a gentle smile on his face. He obediently got up and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Okay, take your time changing. I'll wait for you outside."

Murong Xiangxun strode out of the room with his long, slender legs and gently closed the door behind him.

The door clicked shut, instantly shutting out his breathtaking charm.

She raised her hand to her chest, feeling her heart pounding in her palm, the rhythm as fast as a drumbeat.

Recalling Murong Xiangxun's aloof face, deep blue eyes, and unique aura, she felt her breathing quicken.

Shen Ying secretly rejoiced, thankfully today was the last day.

If they continue to spend their days together like this, she will surely succumb to the temptation of his good looks, turn into a wolf and pounce on him, and then... well, you know.

Murong Xiangxun's behavior these past few days has remained as calm as ever, which has surprised Shen Ying somewhat.

Two days ago, Shen Ying told Murong Xiangxun about her plans to leave.

She had been worried that Murong Xiangxun would be sad and disappointed, but he remained calm and composed, with his usual gentle smile on his face.

Shen Ying herself was a little disappointed.

Shen Ying stepped out of her room and immediately saw Murong Xiangxun waiting at the door. He had a gentle smile on his face, and when he saw her come out, he reached out and gently took her hand, saying, "Let's go have breakfast."

After the meal, Murong Xiangxun looked at Shen Ying with gentle eyes and asked softly, "What would you like to do?"

Shen Ying tilted her head and thought for a moment, seemingly not having anything in particular she wanted to do, before asking in return, "What about you?"

Murong Xiangxun reached out and gently stroked Shen Ying's face, his eyes filled with tenderness as he said affectionately, "I just want to stay by your side."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying felt a sudden surge of anxiety. She suppressed this emotion, tried her best to remain calm, and suggested with a smile, "Why don't we go to your study to read?"

Shen Ying found a book she could understand on the bookshelf, walked to the daybed in the study, and slowly sat down cross-legged.

She opened the book, intending to immerse herself in it, but her gaze wandered uncontrollably across the pages, and her thoughts drifted away.

She frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and occasionally looked up at Murong Xiangxun.

Murong Xiangxun stood tall and straight, his white robe perfectly highlighting his cool and handsome demeanor.

His long white hair was tied back, with a few stray strands falling across his forehead, swaying slightly with his movements.

At this moment, he was intently looking at the book in his hands, his eyelashes lowered, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids.

Shen Ying gazed at him, momentarily lost in thought.

Seemingly noticing Shen Ying's gaze, Murong Xiangxun suddenly raised his eyes and met Shen Ying's gaze.

As if burned, Shen Ying snapped back to her senses, hurriedly looked away, and quickly lowered her head, pretending to be engrossed in reading.

Her eyes were fixed on the pages, but she couldn't concentrate on a single word. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

Murong Xiangxun's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

Shen Ying was pretending to read a book when suddenly a cold, slender finger gently lifted her chin. She subconsciously looked up at the front, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Before she could react, her lips were sealed by soft lips.

Her eyes widened, her body froze instantly, and her mind went blank.

My hands instinctively gripped the book tightly, my knuckles turned white, and my heart pounded wildly.

Her nose was filled with the familiar, slightly cool scent of Murong Xiangxun, which made her breathing quicken.

Shen Ying couldn't help but respond to him. In that instant, she clearly felt his body stiffen. Then, as if ignited by some kind of passion, he deepened the kiss.

His unique aura instantly enveloped Shen Ying, and she felt a buzzing in her head, as if countless fireworks were exploding in her mind.

Everything in my vision gradually became blurry and unreal, and the surrounding sounds seemed to disappear, with only the rapid beating of my own heart echoing in my ears.

Shen Ying slowly woke up and found herself lying on her bed in the bedroom. A strange sensation came over her body. She moved her body, her mind was a blur, and she gradually recalled what had happened before.

Instantly, her face flushed red. She pulled the blanket over her head and couldn't help but blame herself: Why couldn't I have resisted!

Just then, a slight noise came from the doorway.

Shen Ying looked up at the sound and saw Murong Xiangxun walking into the room.

As he appeared, a faint smell of blood filled the air, causing Shen Ying to frown.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Murong Xiangxun give her an innocent and bright smile, a smile as warm as the spring sun.

Just as Shen Ying was about to ask a question, the cold notification from the system in her mind interrupted her thoughts.

"Mission complete, exiting the game."

When the police appeared at the company, everyone was stunned.

They are here to investigate Wu Yiliu's disappearance.

Wu Yiliu is the female colleague who always makes trouble for Shen Ying. She hasn't come to work for several days now and has disappeared.

During questioning, the police learned that Shen Ying and Wu Yiliu had a conflict, so they called Shen Ying aside.

Although Shen Ying was a little uneasy, she remained calm on the surface.

For some reason, she thought of Xu Xiaozhu's disappearance, but she quickly dismissed her doubts, thinking that it was just her imagination.

Shen Ying stood there, her eyes clear and open.

She answered the police's questions about her relationship with Wu Yiliu without reservation, without any concealment.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the police officer with a hint of worry in her eyes and asked Wu Yiliu about her condition in a soft voice.

The police officer's gaze became even more serious, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything as he stared intently at Shen Ying.

After a moment of silence, the police officer spoke slowly, his voice low and steady: "The case is currently under investigation, and we cannot disclose any details at this time. We hope you understand. If needed, we will contact you again to get more information."

Shen Ying listened and nodded gently. She knew that the police had their procedures and principles.

The gazes of her colleagues were like thorns piercing her, and some were whispering, suspecting that it was related to Shen Ying.

But Shen Ying didn't care. She straightened her back and didn't show any weakness under those suspicious gazes.

There were all sorts of speculations in the company, but Shen Ying pretended not to hear the rumors. She knew she hadn't done anything wrong and had no reason to be afraid.

The police were carefully inspecting Wu Yiliu's workstation.

After get off work, Shen Ying dragged her tired body home.

As soon as I walked to the community garden, several stray cats swarmed around me.

Their little bodies kept rubbing against Shen Ying's legs, meowing as if trying to comfort her.

Shen Ying felt a warmth in her heart. She squatted down and gently stroked their fur. The fur was so soft. As she stroked it, the discomfort in her heart seemed to lessen a little.

I had just sat down when the doorbell rang.

Shen Ying opened the door and saw that it was her neighbor.

The neighbor was quiet and indifferent, holding a very exquisite food box in his hand.

He said nothing, his gaze focused, and then handed her the food box.

Shen Ying paused for a moment, then unconsciously took the food box. The neighbor nodded quietly, turned around, and went back inside.

Shen Yingmu walked back into the house in a daze and opened the food box.

Wow, there are exquisite desserts that look like works of art, and a steaming hot dinner too!

The aroma of the dessert wafted into my nose, making dinner look especially tempting.

Shen Ying took a bite of the dessert, and the sweet taste spread instantly on her tongue, as if it had chased away all the fatigue and gloom of her day.

While eating dinner, Shen Ying couldn't help but think about what happened at the company during the day.

The way her colleagues looked at her, full of suspicion, and all those messy rumors played out in her head like a movie.

Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem so scary anymore.

Perhaps it's because she's been through similar situations before, which has given her resilience and increased her mental fortitude.

Now, with the warm dinner from her neighbor and the comfort from the adorable stray cats in the neighborhood, Shen Ying felt full of energy again.

She knew she couldn't let those unfounded speculations ruin her; she had to be brave.

After finishing her meal, she tidied up the food box, feeling deeply grateful to her neighbors and the stray cats.

Then, she slept soundly.

On the weekend, sunlight streamed through the window onto the dining table. Shen Ying had just finished breakfast when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see the same group of police officers again—the same people who had investigated Wu Yiliu's disappearance at the company.

"You... came to me because you wanted to ask about Wu Yiliu?" Shen Ying looked at the police with a puzzled expression.

“It’s about Xu Xiaozhu,” one of the police officers said. “We found that her disappearance is similar to Wu Yiliu’s case, and there are no abnormalities in the surrounding surveillance footage.”

Shen Ying frowned: "What does that have to do with me? Hasn't she been missing for a while?" No one had come looking for her before.

“We suspect these two incidents are related. We also found out that you two used to be very good friends, but you drifted apart because of the cyberbullying incident. We want to understand the specific circumstances at the time,” the police officer asked Shen Ying.

Shen Ying's eyes dimmed slightly: "Back in college, we..." Shen Ying didn't hide anything and told the story of how Xu Xiaozhu used her name to have an online relationship, which resulted in her being cyberbullied.

"Do you resent her because of this?" the police officer pressed.

Shen Ying calmly replied, "At first I did resent her a little, but as time went on, I let it go. Besides, why would I do anything to her because of that? I'm not that kind of person."

The police officer nodded: "We're just asking a normal question, don't be too nervous. Before she disappeared, did you see her or sense anything unusual?"

Shen Ying tried hard to recall: "I saw her once at a coffee shop, and the last time I saw her was at a classmate's wedding. She was attacked on her way home that day and was later taken to the hospital..."

The police seemed to know what Shen Ying had said, and instead of pressing further, they asked, "Before Wu Yiliu disappeared, did you discover any connection between her and Xu Xiaozhu? For example, contact or anything like that?"

Shen Ying shook her head: "No, I haven't seen them have any contact."

The police officers exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Okay, that's all for today. If you remember any new clues, please contact us anytime." He then handed Shen Ying a business card.

Shen Ying took the business card: "Okay, I also hope to find them soon."
