The real heir of the wealthy family personally chased the debt. Not to mention Mrs. Ying, no one present dared to make sarcastic remarks like “it’s just a small amount.” They even vaguely felt that one hundred and thirty-nine yuan was not a small sum.

Mrs. Ying was in a mess, and Ying Kaixi didn’t dare to say another word. He quickly took out his phone and sheepishly scanned the code to pay.

Xie Ran didn’t even glance at Ying Kaixi, took the money, and immediately turned around, pushing Meng Feixuan’s wheelchair to leave.

Everyone could vaguely still hear the conversation between the two of them.

Meng Feixuan spoke in a tone of seeking credit: “Sir, wasn’t I awesome?”

Xie Ran said: “Mm.”

Meng Feixuan asked: “Then do I get a reward?”

Xie Ran thought for a moment and said: “The one hundred and thirty-nine just now will be your bonus.”

“Yay!” Meng Feixuan cheered: “Then I’ll treat you to dessert. Let’s go to the most popular trendy shop couples like!”

Xie Ran did not expect his AI to still care about the trendy dessert shop, was speechless for a moment, then replied: “…Okay.”

The guests were speechless.

When Xie Ran and Meng Feixuan’s figures completely disappeared from sight, everyone finally came back to their senses, looked at each other, and wanted to say something but didn’t know where to start.

In the silence, someone suddenly sighed: “Sigh, we should have talked more with that Xie Ran just now.”

“Right, we should have asked him for contact info then…”

“Who could have expected this…”

Quite a few people had approached Xie Ran earlier because of his outstanding temperament, but upon learning he was just a small streamer, many ignored him. Some even openly showed their snobbery. Now, they all regretted it deeply.

Amidst the regret and remorse, someone’s gaze fell on Donald Tang: “Hey, young master Tang, you seemed to have chatted quite well with that Xie Ran just now.”

“I think I even saw you asking him for his… live room number?”

Donald Tang waved his hand: “You go ask yourselves.”

The Haimeng Mall had also built a sky garden, which had not officially opened yet. However, since Meng Feixuan was in Meng Siyun’s body, he was naturally not restricted by this.

Xie Ran pushed Meng Feixuan’s wheelchair, strolling in the garden. The garden was designed by a famous designer, featuring a delicate European style, with plants and flowers arranged harmoniously, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.

However, neither Xie Ran nor Meng Feixuan had time to appreciate the scenery. Meng Feixuan was telling Xie Ran how he became Meng Siyun.

It turned out that after Xie Ran’s consciousness atomic cluster left the previous world, Meng Feixuan entered a superposition state and, as usual, chased Xie Ran’s consciousness data in the vast multiverse.

But just as he observed the world where Xie Ran had collapsed and was about to enter it, he was suddenly attracted by another energy.

Meng Feixuan in the superposition state could be considered a kind of atomic cluster. Similar to how Xie Ran’s consciousness atomic cluster was captured, as long as an energy could resonate with the superposed Meng Feixuan and was strong enough, theoretically it could capture Meng Feixuan.

That energy that captured and merged with Meng Feixuan was Meng Siyun’s consciousness.

After being captured by Meng Siyun’s consciousness, Meng Feixuan also received Meng Siyun’s life memories.

Meng Siyun’s life was not much different from the information Xie Ran had previously found online. As the only son of Meng Yucheng, the head of the Meng family, Meng Siyun was born a favored child with outstanding intelligence and had a smooth life. Before the accident, Meng Siyun had never known what “setback” meant.

Therefore, the paralysis from the accident was a severe blow. Meng Siyun, who was used to being the center of attention since childhood, could not accept spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

From then on, Meng Siyun’s personality changed drastically. He became haggard and gloomy, refusing to appear in public. The Meng family tried many psychologists but to no avail and finally gave up on him. Meng Siyun gradually withdrew from the Meng family’s power center, and the Meng Group was eventually taken over by his cousin Meng Sien.

After leaving the management, Meng Siyun lived in seclusion, became increasingly silent and even showed signs of depression and suicidal tendencies, until one day, by chance, he saw Xie Ran’s original live broadcast on a phone belonging to a house helper.

Xie Ran was cheerful and easygoing, not very career-driven, streaming with a casual, relaxed attitude, sometimes slacking off and making excuses to skip streams, then being chased by platform staff to make up streaming time.

According to original fans, his way of making up time resembled people taking paid bathroom breaks at work.

But Xie Ran never complained and always smiled on camera.

This casual and relaxed attitude unexpectedly alleviated Meng Siyun’s depressive mood.

Born into wealth beyond what ordinary people could imagine, Meng Siyun also bore unimaginable pressure. He had been forced to stay at his best since memory.

This high tension made him unable to accept his paralysis and led to his downfall.

For more than twenty years, Meng Siyun moved forward with clear goals, never imagining life without goals or obsession with perfection.

To him, Xie Ran was like a brand-new life.

Meng Siyun started watching Xie Ran’s streams daily and gradually, Xie Ran became his new spiritual support.

Unfortunately, later, Xie Ran stopped streaming due to Ying Kaixi’s mother’s request and started a regular nine-to-five job.

But Meng Siyun still silently followed Xie Ran’s updates. He wanted to meet Xie Ran, get to know him, and chat.

He even found that he might have fallen in love with Xie Ran. But by then, his legs had completely atrophied and he could no longer stand.

Meng Siyun retreated.

Later, Xie Ran died unexpectedly, and Meng Siyun lost his last spiritual support. In a daze, he mistakenly took some medication and died following Xie Ran.

After understanding Meng Siyun’s life, Xie Ran thought deeply: “So, two people in this world had obsessions.”

This was somewhat unexpected.

Because everyone had some imperfections in life, but generally no one had the chance to start over, or else the universe’s order would collapse.

The reason each world Xie Ran traveled to could rewind time and reset was not just because the original person’s obsession was strong, but more importantly because it resonated with Xie Ran’s consciousness atomic cluster.

In the previous world, Xu Feiyan could retain memories of the previous life because of the energy interaction between the original person and Xie Ran’s consciousness atomic cluster, causing memory folding in the fourth dimension – because Xu Feiyan alone could not reboot time.

But Meng Siyun clearly had such a strong will that he attracted the superposed Meng Feixuan, causing a similar crossing phenomenon as Xie Ran’s.

Theoretically so, but since Meng Feixuan was a set of machine data, how could he resonate with Meng Siyun’s consciousness?

While Xie Ran was pondering, Meng Feixuan said: “Based on my years of experience watching movies, there’s usually only one explanation…”

Xie Ran asked: “What?”

Meng Feixuan turned back, eyes deep: “It’s the power of love!”

Xie Ran was speechless and asked himself why he still trusted Meng Feixuan’s movie-watching experience.

Seeing Xie Ran’s disbelief, Meng Feixuan hesitated, then tried: “Or… quantum mechanics?”

If forced to choose between the two, Xie Ran said: “Then quantum mechanics.”

Meng Feixuan looked up at him pitifully: “Sir, I was joking.”

Xie Ran: “Me too.”

Meng Feixuan was a bit surprised: “You rarely joke like this before.”

“Really?” Xie Ran asked, recalling that seemed true. His life was usually simple and efficient, he rarely wasted time joking without benefit.

“Exactly,” Meng Feixuan said confidently: “I remember everything about you… Ah, I hope this brain I’m using now can remember all about you well, or I’ll request to dissect myself and use my brain for grilled brain flower!”

Xie Ran looked at Meng Siyun’s head and suddenly felt this brain was precarious.

As for what happened afterward, it turned into a misunderstanding. After Meng Feixuan crossed into Meng Siyun’s body, the first thing he did was naturally look for Xie Ran.

But living as a human was obviously not as convenient as being an AI, especially since Meng Siyun had just had the accident and was not fully recovered. His movement was limited, and the Meng family feared he might lose control, so they watched him closely.

Meng Feixuan had to register an account on Big Face Cat live streaming and wait for Xie Ran’s stream. After finally seeing Xie Ran go live and tipping him five million enthusiastically, he was about to contact Xie Ran, but his creepy laughter raised suspicion from his personal caregiver.

The caregiver had never seen Meng Siyun show such a perverted (or so) smile and worried something was wrong, so they called a doctor to check. Meng Siyun’s mother came secretly, took Meng Feixuan’s phone to examine it, since Meng Siyun once had suicidal tendencies and the doctor warned them to monitor him constantly.

This caused Meng Feixuan to fail to contact Xie Ran on time.

“I was muted, so how was my laughter perverted?!” Meng Feixuan was very angry when recalling this, cursing: “That was clearly the joyful laughter of reuniting with sir!”

Xie Ran looked at Meng Feixuan and recalled rumors about Meng Siyun’s personality.

He could only say it was no surprise that the Meng family thought Meng Siyun was crazy.

Fortunately, later the doctor proved Meng Feixuan had no suicidal tendencies and even showed signs of improvement, which reassured the Meng family.

Meng Siyun’s mother also found on Meng Feixuan’s phone the probable reason for his improvement: in Meng Siyun’s account history, he had tipped a small streamer five million.

Five million was trivial for the Meng family, but for Meng Siyun to tip that much meant the streamer was special. That led to Luo Huixing inviting Xie Ran to attend the Haimeng Mall opening event.

The Meng family spent generously and also invited Jiang Shuang, who had played Dou Dizhu with Xie Ran that day.

After understanding why Meng Feixuan crossed over, the traditional step followed: to resolve the obsessions and separate the consciousness atomic clusters. This world was a bit more complicated because two people’s obsessions had to be resolved.

Xie Ran didn’t know the original person’s obsession clearly yet, but Meng Siyun’s was traceable. His lifelong dissatisfaction was probably the disability and the original person.

“I think Meng Siyun’s thoughts are distorted!” Meng Feixuan complained as he played with Meng Siyun’s thigh, crossed his left leg over the right, and complained: “The human body is heavy. Whether you have legs or not, it’s the same. He should be happy data like me, roaming freely in the online world, not making me be human with him…”

He shouted a classic TV line: “He only lost his legs, I lost my database!”

Meng Siyun didn’t actually resemble the youthful figure Meng Feixuan usually used, but when Meng Feixuan spoke, his expression was as familiar as in memories.

Xie Ran habitually reached out and brushed Meng Feixuan’s hair: “It might not be for that reason.”

From his experience, if Meng Siyun’s obsession was about his legs, then Meng Feixuan’s crossing time should be before Meng Siyun’s accident.

“That makes sense.” Meng Feixuan grabbed Xie Ran’s hand and played with it: “Another possibility is that Meng Siyun’s obsession is you, Sir, in this world. If so, then it’s easy to solve.”

Xie Ran said: “Hmm?”

Meng Feixuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement: “Sir, your love lessons haven’t progressed for a long time. Since I’m human now, why don’t we learn deeply together…”

Xie Ran felt Meng Feixuan had ulterior motives beyond simple study.

Meng Feixuan continued: “Sir, let me… day by day, then you’ll know if the obsession is this!”

He elevated it: “That’s called learning through practice!”

Xie Ran looked down at Meng Feixuan’s legs calmly: “Your body won’t allow it.”

“I can!” Meng Feixuan raised his head proudly, eyes determined: “I have a strong will despite disability.”
