Upon hearing Wan Qi's inquiry, Zhang Yuanming took out a cigarette from the cigarette case again, lit it and took a puff before continuing.
"To be honest, if it's just that Xiao Yue's face has changed and I don't recognize him anymore, then it just makes me a little confused.
But what happened next made me feel scared!"
Zhang Yuanming took a deep breath, and Wan Qi could see a look of fear in his eyes.
"Mr. Wan Qi, do you think that if an ordinary person cooks a dish a few days apart, it will still taste exactly the same as before?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuanming did not continue talking about that topic, but instead asked Wan Qi a seemingly unrelated question.
"Well... maybe a professional chef can do it, but most people probably can't!"
However, Wan Qi did not hesitate and gave his answer after thinking about it.
"This is what scares me! We were living together at that time.
After I found out that the original Xiao Yue had been transferred, I began to be completely obedient to her, and at the same time, I paid attention to her every move!
Soon I discovered a problem with the dishes she cooked. The dishes she cooked were exactly the same in terms of taste, weight, and even the position of the chopped green onions in the photo!
No matter if the dish is cooked again after a few days, she can make it exactly the same as the last time.
Originally, I thought she did this on purpose! But I secretly watched her cooking once, and found that it was different from what I imagined!
From cutting to plating, she does it very casually, without any deliberate effort!"
Zhang Yuanming said this and took a puff of cigarette. You can see that his fingers holding the cigarette were trembling.
"In addition to problems like cooking, have you noticed any problems with other living habits or speech, Mr. Zhang?"
Wan Qi's fingers subconsciously tapped his thigh a few times, and then continued to ask.
"Yes! After I discovered the problem with the dishes, I quietly installed a bug behind the sofa!
After finishing the installation, I went off work for a week and didn’t go home immediately!
Instead, he hid in the underground garage and wanted to listen to what Xiaoyue would say when he was alone at home through a bug!
There was nothing unusual in the first few days! Until that day, my master’s birthday, I habitually went to the underground garage after get off work.
This time, I heard Xiaoyue talking to herself on the bugging machine."
Having said this, Zhang Yuanming picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water.
When he put down the water glass, he almost knocked it over because his hands were shaking, but Zhang Yuanming continued to talk.
“At eight o’clock in the morning on ××month××year, I was putting on makeup at home. I was half an hour late. Zhang Yuanming was waiting for me downstairs!
I saw the owner of the fruit shop downstairs arguing with an old man, but he did not refuse to break up the fight.
But later, in order to show his responsibility and courage as a human adult male, he told me that he went to break up the fight!
And he also gave the bullying fruit shop owner a lesson.
Today is ××year×month××day, Master Zhang Yuanming’s birthday. Today he will take me to the fruit shop to buy fruit, and then visit his master!
His mistress is a person of faith and is very difficult to deal with, so I have to stay away from her!
When I buy fruit later, I can mention this incident casually and continue to act stupid to enhance the relationship between us."
After hearing these words, Wan Qi's brows furrowed visibly and he continued to ask calmly.
"You took her to your master's house later?"
Zhang Yuanming nodded, with a clear look of fear on his face, but he continued.
"Yes! I took her there! My scalp was numb when I heard what she said!
But thinking about what she said, my master’s wife is very difficult to deal with, so I want to take her to the master’s house to try her luck!
When I took him to the fruit shop to buy fruit, she really brought up that past event as she said before!
It was really hard for me to imagine at the time how she could remember the little things that happened several years ago! The key is how she knew what happened at that time as if she was immersed in it!
And how did she know that I was lying to her! She even knew what I was thinking at that time!
But I didn’t say much at that time and took her to my master’s house calmly.”
Having said this, Zhang Yuanming picked up the water glass again, took a sip of water, lit a cigarette again and continued.
"Everything was normal at Master's house, and Master and his wife received us warmly.
When it was time to leave, I actually didn’t want to go home with Xiaoyue at all.
Because when I was with her at that time, I would be inexplicably nervous!
Just when Xiaoyue had changed her shoes and stood at the door, the mistress quietly came to my ear and asked me a question in a low voice.
He said why did I change my girlfriend? And this girlfriend always gives her a very fake feeling! It seems that no matter what she does, she is just pretending!
After hearing what the teacher's wife said, I froze for a moment. I shouted to Xiaoyue and asked her to go home first, and then I closed the door directly.
Under the puzzled looks of the master and his wife, I told them everything that happened during this period.
After hearing what I said, both Master and Mistress were stunned, but Mistress reacted the fastest. She went back to the room and took out a photo album!
He pulled out a photo and showed it to me."
Having said this, Zhang Yuanming took a puff of cigarette again, with a look of tangle and pain on his face.
"What's wrong with that photo?"
Wan Qi asked at the right time. Wan Qi felt that when communicating with Zhang Yuanming, he was like a flatterer. He had to guide him so that he could continue to tell his story.
"There is nothing wrong with that photo at first glance. That photo was taken when I confessed my love to Xiaoyue in hotpot for the first time.
Neither Master nor I noticed anything unusual. Xiaoyue in the photo looked just like a human.
However, the mistress pointed to a part of the photo for me to see. It was a fire box made into a mirror. At that angle, half of Xiaoyue's face was reflected at that angle!
With half of her face finished, it’s exactly what my wife and I remember Xiaoyue looking like!
Just when I saw that face, the door of Master's house was slammed hard!
I still can't forget Xiaoyue's hysterical screams coming from outside the door.
Mingyuan! Let’s go! Follow me home. Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!
After hearing that cry, I didn't know what I was thinking.
He also shouted directly toward the door, "Who are you! Where is my Xiaoyue!"
When I shouted these words, the door suddenly became quiet!
I don’t know how long it took, but Master went to open the door. By that time, there was no one outside.
But I clearly saw that Xiao Yue had cracked the door handle of Master’s house!"
