Xu Yinsheng thought for a moment, then without hesitation, waved her hand to cancel the “Fusion” and ran toward the outside of the room.
Just as she rounded a corner, she collided squarely with someone.
She staggered back a few steps before steadying herself.
“Sorry.”
Xu Yinsheng apologized, looking up with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
“Assistant Li, what are you doing here?”
Li Yuan was dressed in a black suit, leaning lightly against the wall in front of her.
One hand covered his abdomen, the other holding a tissue.
Compared to his usual sharp and capable, refined demeanor, he now looked rather weak.
“Secretary Mu, the fast food you bought from that place, everyone who ate it ended up with diarrhea and almost collapsed from it.”
Li Yuan said weakly, clutching his stomach.
Xu Yinsheng blinked innocently.
“It was pre-packaged meals. Didn’t the media make a big fuss about how healthy and environmentally friendly they are? I just packed a lot this afternoon because they were cheap and convenient. The order was so fast, it was ready in no time.”
Hearing this, Li Yuan rubbed his forehead.
“Secretary Mu, pre-packaged meals are just a hype, a medical scam. Think about it—what kind of food can last nine months without spoiling? It’s not instant noodles. Even a dog would shake its head at this stuff.”
“Is it really that bad?”
“Didn’t you see the news? A few days ago, some organization blew up a pre-packaged meal factory. Later, it was exposed that sick pork was used as raw material.” He groaned, “Enough, I really can’t take it anymore.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Yuan stopped paying attention to Xu Yinsheng, grabbed some tissues to cover his stomach, and dashed to the bathroom.
Xu Yinsheng froze on the spot.
A few minutes later, she touched her own lower abdomen and murmured quietly, only loud enough for herself to hear.
“No wonder my stomach feels so uncomfortable. Even a magic-powered doll like me can’t handle it. This stuff really isn’t meant to be eaten.”
“I have to get all the pre-packaged food out of my stomach.”
Zhao Yicheng pushed open the slightly ajar door.
The bedding on the floor was tossed aside, but the room was empty.
Calmly, he pulled out his phone and checked the GPS tracker’s location—it was only a few dozen meters away.
Apparently, she was in the bathroom, also suffering from diarrhea.
The location capsule was purchased through a military contact.
One of the capsules was currently inside Xu Yinsheng’s stomach, quietly lying there without affecting her eating or sleeping.
Originally designed by the military to ensure spy safety during missions, Zhao Yicheng was now using it to track Xu Yinsheng’s whereabouts.
Thinking this, Zhao Yicheng approached a Taiji diagram hanging on the room’s wall.
The overall appearance was simple and grand.
He removed the Taiji diagram, revealing a hollowed-out section behind it with a connected surveillance camera.
Zhao Yicheng took out the camera’s memory card, then rehung the diagram.
Inserting the card into his computer, he began loading the data.
With a rustling sound, a familiar figure soon appeared on the screen.
Xu Yinsheng, with cat ears perched atop her head, sniffed around the room, quietly muttering something to herself.
Then she walked over to the window, opened it, and let in the cold breeze.
Although Zhao Yicheng couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying, his intuition told him Xu Yinsheng was up to something again.
Of course, his little Yin never made things easy.
Tapping his fingers lightly on the solid wooden table, the quiet room echoed with the clear sound.
Zhao Yicheng thought for a moment.
Finally, he pulled open a drawer. Inside, handcuffs and a collar gleamed coldly, their slight collisions producing a sharp metallic scraping.
“Clink, clink, clink…”
His gaze lingered on the handcuffs and collar.
He decided to keep them close for now, waiting until the commotion died down before freeing her.
“Ah~ My stomach hurts so much. What crappy pre-packaged food~”
The door was pushed open with the sound of complaints, but Zhao Yicheng looked up and saw no one.
“I’m here~”
A small, tender hand suddenly reached out, gently waving a few times.
Zhao Yicheng followed the hand downward and saw Xu Yinsheng in a tiny set of pajamas, looking up at him with her rosy face.
He blinked in slight surprise.
“What’s wrong? Never seen a little girl before?!”
Xu Yinsheng noticed his strange gaze and puffed up her cheeks angrily, eyes wide.
“Don’t be so weird. If I ever turn into a zombie, I’ll swallow you whole.”
Zhao Yicheng crouched down and rubbed the little girl’s—no, the little girl’s—head, his eyes sizing her up.
She wasn’t even 1.2 meters tall, no, being bold, probably not even 1.1 meters.
He muttered to himself.
“Not even two months yet, right?”
“Hmph! Don’t be so weird!”
Xu Yinsheng snorted twice.
She obviously understood what Zhao Yicheng was thinking.
Every two months, she underwent a transformation—that was ironclad fact.
But now, before the two months were up, she was appearing as a little girl.
Wasn’t this a major change?
“I’ve switched to power-saving mode.”
“Power-saving mode?”
“Yes. I turned off most functions and appear as a mini doll, reducing energy consumption by 70%. How about that? Pretty awesome, huh?”
Xu Yinsheng said proudly, raising her eyebrows.
Her mini doll mode meant one big meal could last a whole week.
She ate fast but lasted long.
“So, you’re a weakened version right now.”
Zhao Yicheng rubbed his chin, a glint in his eyes.
“You could say that.”
“All abilities weakened?”
“No, all turned off. That way, it saves energy.”
“That’s good~”
The next moment—
Click—the handcuffs snapped shut!
“What are you doing!”
Xu Yinsheng suddenly lifted her head, eyes wide with anger as she glared at the man.
“Nothing.”
Zhao Yicheng replied calmly, lifting Xu Yinsheng effortlessly.
The little girl, not even 1.1 meters tall, looked like an ant in his hands and was easily picked up.
“I just feel like you’re going to cause trouble soon. For your own safety, I’ll keep you restrained these few days. Once this blows over, I’ll unlock them.”
“Let me go, jerk! Who protects someone like this?!”
Xu Yinsheng struggled, kicking her legs and flailing her tiny arms.
Zhao Yicheng ignored her fussing, went straight to the floor bedding, stuffed the struggling Xu Yinsheng in, then lay down himself.
Pulling off the blanket, he wrapped her in his arms and closed his eyes.
“What are you trying to do? I’m telling you! Minimum three years, maximum death penalty!!”
Xu Yinsheng struggled in vain. Her arms pressed against his chest but were pinned down by his hand as he flipped her beneath him.
Her hands were bound, unable to move.
Her cheeks flushed red, the delicate face looking soft and tender, like a ripe peach.
“What are you thinking?”
Zhao Yicheng held her and looked at her in his arms.
He raised a hand and gently scratched her small nose.
His low, magnetic voice carried a hint of a smile and a trace of indulgent helplessness.
“Am I really that worthless in your heart? So eager? A pervert in the world?”
“Hmph!”
Xu Yinsheng turned her head away, ignoring him. Her small mouth pouted, cheeks flushing deeper.
Zhao Yicheng wasn’t annoyed.
Instead, he found her a bit adorable and tsundere.
As expected, humans are all about appearances.
Holding her close, he rested his chin on the top of Xu Yinsheng’s soft hair, warm breath drifting over her delicate, fair neck.
“Rest easy. I won’t do anything to you.”
Saying this, he gently patted her back, soothing her to sleep like a child.
Feeling his tender touch, Xu Yinsheng gradually calmed down.
After a while, the girl in his arms began to snore softly and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhao Yicheng held her, looking down at her peaceful, beautiful profile, his eyes full of doting and helplessness.
Soft, fragrant, and sticky.
Indeed, she made his heart itch with desire to just gobble her up whole.
Tsk, maybe he really was crazy.
Yet, he felt no moral burden.
But this wasn’t so bad after all.
Still, such things would have to wait.
After all, the “meat” would rot in his own pot anyway.
Thinking this, Zhao Yicheng held his little Xu-family glutinous rice ball and peacefully drifted off to sleep.
