Qi Mohan didn’t give up, holding the table lamp and coming to the closet again: “Mujin, look carefully.”
Xiao Mujin still shook his head: “Uncle, it’s true, the door disappeared.”
Qi Mohan felt extremely lost as if the whole world had become dark and gloomy.
He stared ahead with empty eyes, his steps heavy as if he was pressed by a heavy burden, and he slowly walked to the bedside.
Like a puppet that had lost its soul, he woodenly put Xiao Mujin back on the bed.
Seeing her son so distraught, Imperial Concubine Yun’s eyes were filled with worry: “Mohan, Si Si is not from our era. She disappeared suddenly. She must have returned to her world.”
Qi Mohan nodded woodenly: “Maybe!”
After saying this, he said goodbye to Imperial Concubine Yun and left in a trance.
He returned to his bedroom, where there seemed to be some traces left of Si Si. Qi Mohan lay on the bed as if he had lost his soul, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

As for Si Si, because she kept muttering about the mall, she appeared in the room on the 33rd floor of the mall where she often lived.
At this moment, Si Si’s mind was still a mess. She had just accepted the shocking fact that she had traveled through time and space, and before she had time to process it properly, she was suddenly back in her own world.
She blinked her eyes and looked around, feeling that everything had become a little strange. This was clearly a familiar environment for her, but for some reason, it made her feel a little strange.
She couldn’t explain this strange feeling……
Si Si took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
She began to carefully recall what had happened before.
First, she was kidnapped by Wang Jun and his sons, Tang Xu appeared, the police arrived, she fell off a cliff, and then she traveled to Daqi Kingdom and was rescued by Qi Mohan……
All this seemed like an absurd dream.
But now, she was back to reality. What was going on? Could it be that the time travel was an illusion?
Or is all this just a dream?
Si Si’s heart was full of doubts and confusion, so she decided to figure it all out.
After all, such a bizarre experience would not just happen by random fantasy. If she didn’t figure it out, she might keep worrying about it.
She picked up the phone on the bed and planned to call Tang Xu. If what she experienced happened, Tang Xu was also an insider, and asking him would give an accurate result.
Unfortunately, her phone ran out of battery.
Si Si had no choice but to charge her phone first and then check other things in the room.
The most eye-catching thing in the room was the water host that she used to supply tap water to Qiushui City.
She remembered that the last time she left here, the water host was dragged along to the window, but now, the entire host was in the room. She didn’t know who had turned off the faucet because the water was no longer flowing.
Could it be that it has been raining heavily in Qiushui City for several days, and they no longer need to continue supplying water themselves, so the adults asked the two kids to bring back the water host?
Si Si felt that this was probably the only explanation that could make sense.
After walking around the room, it was the same as when she left, but Si Si inexplicably felt a sense of strangeness.
She left the room and took the elevator to the supermarket on the first floor. The supermarket was still the same as before. The goods delivered on the day she had an appointment with Tang Xu for dinner were still piled there intact.
Si Si felt somewhat relieved. When she opened the rolling door and wanted to go out for some fresh air, she suddenly found that the door seemed to be blocked by a barrier. She looked at the scene in front of her, but could not take a step forward.
It felt like her feet were firmly pressed against the ground, unable to move at all.
This situation was unexpected for Si Si. She was completely panicked and took a few steps back as best she could. At the same time, she discovered a problem, which was that there was no resistance at all when she moved into the mall.
Going further, just like before, people seem to be sucked by something and cannot take a single step out of the door.
On the other side was the parking lot of the commercial mall. Because the building was closed, the parking lot has been completely closed and there were not many people walking around inside.
Si Si stared at the front, feeling a little overwhelmed. She couldn’t figure out why she couldn’t get out.
She thought of several other entrances and exits of the mall and tried them all. The result was that the rolling shutter doors seemed to be broken. No matter how Si Si pressed the door opening button, it did not move.
Si Si returned to the roller shutter door she often went in and out of, but still couldn’t get out.
This situation was too strange for Si Si, so she temporarily closed the shutter door and returned to the top floor.
At this time, her mobile phone had also been charged with some power. Si Si turned on the phone and was surprised to find something.
In her phone call records, Tang Xu’s information was still there, but as for the others, the numbers of those suppliers she had contacted recently had all disappeared.
That’s not all. Except for Tang Xu, all the contacts she had stored in her phone book disappeared.
Si Si felt as if she had picked up the wrong phone, but apart from the call records, nothing else had changed.
She tentatively dialed Tang Xu’s number.
Tang Xu was currently lying in the hospital receiving treatment. Behind the door of the ward, the doctor was explaining his condition to his family.
“Tang Xu’s head injury is not serious. He is in a bad state now, but the main reason is that his heart knot cannot be untied. If his heart knot cannot be untied, his mental state will probably get worse and worse.”
The doctor didn’t know that Tang Xu’s mental state was bad because he was worried about Si Si’s life or death. He only knew that he was kidnapped and then rescued by the police. This situation can easily cause a certain psychological trauma to a person, so he explained it this way to Tang Xu’s family.
When Tang Xu’s family members were asking the doctor for help, they heard Tang Xu’s mobile phone ringing in the ward.
Tang Xu was not asleep or unconscious. His mind was filled with the scene of Si Si falling off the cliff.
The scene made him feel suffocated, and he even hated himself for being incompetent and unable to protect Si Si.
After Si Si fell off the cliff, the police immediately contacted the rescue team. Tang Xu stayed at the scene and refused to leave until the rescue team had fished out nothing from the lake many times. Only then was he forcibly sent to the hospital by his parents.
After arriving at the hospital, he became confused and didn’t communicate with anyone.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, but he remained indifferent.
Si Si waited anxiously for Tang Xu to answer the phone. The phone rang again and again, but there was no response.
She didn’t give up and continued to call Tang Xu.
Father Tang heard Tang Xu’s phone kept ringing in the ward. He had no choice but to come in to check.
