Beep beep beep.
Ren Yu grabbed the phone beside him. The screen clearly read:
—You have a new reply from the post "What Should I Do If There's Suddenly an Extra Little Sister at Home?"
What should I do if there was suddenly an extra little sister at home?
Ren Yu froze for a moment.
When had he replied to a post like that?
He didn't remember at all!
When he curiously tapped into it, he found the comments looked like this:
(OP): Guys, help me out. I opened the door and suddenly there was a girl in my home. What's going on? Have I finally gotten lucky in love?
1st Floor: I'm Dr. Smith from the ENT department at XX Hospital. According to the saying over in Shenzhou, I'm afraid the OP has something wrong with his eyes.
2nd Floor: How many bottles did you drink? You didn't eat anything with it, did you?
3rd Floor: Still dreaming over here? Have you finished moving those bricks?
4th Floor: Does this peach smell nice to you?
Comments like these filled the thread, with every netizen making fun of the OP.
Ren Yu remembered now. It seemed he had also chimed in, and his reply had gone like this:
—You're awake? There's still a truckload of red bricks waiting to be moved over there. Hurry up and finish, and you might even get a boxed meal tonight.
And now, the OP had replied:
—Jealous, you're fucking jealous. I'm about to reach the peak of my life!
"..."
Ren Yu laughed.
You're fucking daydreaming!
An extra girl at home? Wasn't he afraid it was a honey trap?
Those who understood, understood. As for those who didn't, he couldn't be bothered to explain.
After browsing the forum for a while, Ren Yu no longer felt like soaking in the bath. He got up, dried himself off, changed into pajamas, and walked out of the bathroom.
He glanced at the clock in the living room. It clearly read:
Just as he was about to turn the bedroom doorknob and go inside to sleep, a faint sound suddenly came from within.
Ren Yu immediately narrowed his eyes and stopped opening the door.
That didn't sound like a mouse.
It sounded more like someone talking!
No way, had a thief broken in?
Or was someone searching his room?
His expression darkened. Neither possibility was good.
Ren Yu took a deep breath, turned the handle, and abruptly shoved the bedroom door open.
Bang!
The wooden door slammed into the wall.
His sharp gaze swept back and forth across the room.
In an instant, Ren Yu spotted an extra "thief" on his bed.
And that "thief" was actually someone he knew!
She had short dark-blue hair and wore a blue-and-white dress.
At that moment, her sea-blue eyes were fixed tightly on him. She seemed somewhat frightened; the fingers clutching the bedsheet had turned slightly white, and her body trembled nonstop.
It was as though she were saying:
—Who are you? Where is this?
Ren Yu stood there dumbfounded, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes.
This has to be fake, right!
Then he noticed the blue suitcase by the bed, already open.
A ridiculous thought suddenly rose in his heart.
—Could it be that she had crawled out of there?
Half an hour earlier.
Sea of Quantum, stable zone.
Though it had the word "sea" in its name, it had nothing in common with the oceans of reality.
Strictly speaking, this was a buffer zone between worlds, the necessary passage leading between parallel universes.
At that moment, on a shattered fragment within the Sea of Quantum, there sat a lonely girl.
After an experiment had failed, she had accidentally entered this space long ago.
Since there was no way to keep count, even Sie herself could no longer remember how long she had been here.
Perhaps years. Perhaps decades.
There was only endless void here, along with World Bubbles that appeared to be real worlds but were actually nothing more than fleeting dreams.
The girl sat at the edge of the fragment, swinging her pale little legs as she blankly gazed into the endless black abyss below.
"Sie misses everyone at the orphanage so much... Sie misses Sister Bronya so much..."
