Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

He said he wanted to?

What does that mean?

Just as Murong Wei was about to speak, her phone suddenly started vibrating.

She casually picked up her phone, and two words appeared on the screen—Xiao Xiaoxiao.

She was her best friend and confidante since childhood, a sharp-tongued and crazy person who dared to say anything.

Murong Wei rolled over, lying face down on the bed, and answered the phone: "Hello, Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao's voice immediately boomed, "Weiwei! Where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages! Something terrible has happened!"

Xie Xiaoyi, who was leaning against the headboard, suddenly became interested upon hearing this.

He leaned in silently, pressing his chest against Murong Wei's back, and put his ear to the phone to eavesdrop.

Murong Wei froze, wanting to push him away but not daring to make a sound, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it: "What serious thing happened?"

Xie Xiaoyi grinned mischievously. It's really exciting to flirt over the phone!

If I were in this situation...

With a malicious look on his face, he tilted his head slightly and bit Murong Wei's earlobe.

It's not heavy, but it's both numb and itchy.

"Ugh—" Murong Wei trembled and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Xiao Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone immediately became alert: "Hey? What's wrong?!"

Murong Wei struggled for a moment, but was held down firmly, and could only make up a story: "N-nothing... I... I bumped my head on the corner of the table."

Xie Xiaoyi grinned wickedly behind her and continued to attack her earlobes and the hollows of her neck.

Murong Wei was at a loss for what to do, so she could only grit her teeth and talk to Xiao Xiaoxiao. However, Xie Xiaoyi's intermittent assistance left her speechless.

"I...I'm fine!"

"I'm really fine!"

"Otherwise, why would I answer your call?"

"ah--"

"I...I ate too much truffle and spicy foie gras, it was so spicy, that's why I'm like this!"

"You're so paranoid. I... I was just at the gym, running, and I'm a little out of breath. Is that a problem?"

"I'm paranoid?" Xiao Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped laughing. "I have something serious to tell you, something big has happened."

"What is it?"

"Someone found you online; a video of you 'doing it' with someone on the rooftop was filmed and posted online!"

"A video?! What video?! Who filmed it?!"

Murong Wei shuddered and sat up abruptly in bed, her face turning pale instantly.

Her sudden movement was so loud that Xie Xiaoyi, who was pressing down behind her, was jolted and paused.

Xiao Xiaoxiao sighed on the other end of the phone: "I've roughly figured out who took the video. The angle of the video is your and Hua Shao's profiles."

It wasn't very clear, but I could recognize you guys, and I could even hear you calling out "Brother Hua"...

It's already spreading in a small circle; people are calling you the "Rooftop Warrior."

Murong Wei's fingertips trembled, her heart pounding: "That video...you saw it?"

"I saw it, it was pretty amazing, Vivi. I didn't know you had such a great figure! How about we have a lesbian relationship sometime?"

"Xiao Xiaoxiao, your mother—what time is it? Why are you still joking with me?"

"I'm not kidding you anymore. Come over here right now, I'll show you the video, we need to figure out what to do."

"Xiaoxiao, do you know who filmed the video? Didn't you say you had a rough idea?"

"That's right! I had someone retrieve the surveillance footage from downstairs that day. You left, and Xie Mo ran off in a panic right after. Could it be him?"

Xie Mo?

Murong Wei's mind was a mess, and she kept repeating, "Okay...okay, Xiao Xiao, I'll come to you right now..."

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't even hold it, and the screen fell onto the bed sheet with a "thud".

Xie Xiaoyi was neither surprised nor concerned throughout, because he was the one who started it all.

Murong Wei turned to look at him, flustered and confused: "The rooftop video has been filmed."

Seeing her flustered state, Xie Xiaoyi suddenly realized something.

Something's not right.

The reason I was bullied by Murong Wei in my previous life was entirely because they concluded that I was the one who posted the video.

So at that time I thought I was innocent, but now this timeline shows that it was indeed the video I posted...

Oh no...

I originally thought that once I released the video ahead of time, I would have nothing to do with Xie Mo in this timeline.

But Xiao Xiaoxiao's actions ultimately pointed back to her past self.

It's a bit messy.

What are all these things?

What the hell!

It's even more convoluted and confusing than the movie "Predestination".

Xie Xiaoyi's mind was in complete chaos. The more he thought about it, the more his head ached, and his vision blurred.

The next second, the world spun around him, everything went black, and he collapsed onto the bed with a thud.

In the last second before his consciousness completely sank, he had only one thought: "This damn timeline is going to kill me."

……

When I opened my eyes again.

The cool water splashed hard on my face, it felt so refreshing.

With the roar of the waterfall in his ears, Xie Xiaoyi jerked back, choking on two mouthfuls of water, and sat up, supporting himself on a rock.

Soaked to the bone, the coarse cloth clothes clung to my body, feeling cold and heavy.

He felt a tight grip on his right hand; it felt heavy. He looked down and saw that he was holding a giant sword.

He looked up sharply.

Before me lies a towering waterfall, its waters roaring like thunder, its pools deep and still, surrounded by desolate, uninhabited forests.

It's not the presidential suite.

Murong Wei is not there.

There was no cell phone, no phone call from Xiao Xiaoxiao, and no rooftop video call.

He's back.

Night had fallen, but the heat within him had not subsided. He held the Heaven-Opening Greatsword in his hand, and it was still the same timeline as before.

Xie Xiaoyi was overjoyed. He placed the giant sword on the shore, leaned back, and plunged into the pool with a "plop".

Water splashed everywhere.

He popped his head out, wiped the water from his face, and shouted towards the mountains and forests, "It's good to be back!"

The sound echoed through the valley, carrying the exhilarating joy of something lost and then regained.

They're back, finally back.

Seeing my aunt again is better than anything else.

"Brother Xie Mo...are you alright?"

Xie Xiaoyi slowly regained his composure and saw Ouyang Qing standing by the pool, her cheeks flushed and her eyes like water.

He smirked, a roguish grin playing on his lips. "Qing'er, it's summer now, the pool water's cool and refreshing. Want to come down and take a bath together?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qing blushed, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. She stomped her foot and spat, "You're being indecent again! I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he turned around in a panic, trying to escape back to the cabin.

Xie Xiaoyi was excited and wouldn't let her leave so easily. He slightly curled the five fingers of his right hand and quietly used the move "Azure Dragon Absorbs Water".

An invisible force gently swirled around, lifting Ouyang Qing into the air and causing her to fall towards the pool.

Ouyang Qing exclaimed in surprise, her body suddenly felt light, and the next second she fell into the pool.

The thin clothes were instantly soaked by the stream, clinging tightly to her body and outlining the girl's slender and soft contours.

Her wet clothes clung to her body, her curves barely visible, and water droplets slid down her shoulders and neck, clinging to her hair before dripping back into the water.

Xie Xiaoyi held her firmly in his arms, his palm touching something cool and soft...

"You scoundrel! You...you let me go..."
