Chapter 2:

When Shu Wan raised her eyes, the small red mole disappeared again.

　　Shu Ze quickly left the small room without even a window. He couldn't see the mole on Shu Wan's eyelid again, but that didn't matter.

　　He saw with his own eyes Shu Wan struggling helplessly and sinking in the sea. It was normal for a person to be scared silly after going through the gates of hell.

　　It's better to say that he was scared silly.

　　Shu Ze looked back at the door at the end of the corridor. Since Shu Wan was so frightened that she couldn't speak, then don't blame him for taking the initiative...

　　Shu Wan was alone again. From what these people said, he judged that no one would come to see him for the time being.

　　Shu Wan guessed that they might have mistaken him for someone else, and that person was also called "Shu Wan".

　　But didn't he fall into the river? Where could this place be? The attire of these people was indescribably strange, completely different from Daliang.

　　The men all had short hair and wore black and white clothes, while the women had long hair without many hair accessories, and their skirts were of a new style, exposing their calves.

　　The wound on Shu Wan's back was hurting again. He endured the pain and got out of bed, deciding to search the room for anything that could give him any clues.

　　After a while, Shu Wan found an ID card in a box in the corner. The picture on the ID card was very clear, it was a boy who looked exactly like him.

　　Shu Wan understood why she was misunderstood, but what followed was even greater confusion.

　　How can a person's appearance be reproduced so realistically on a piece of hard card?

　　Shu Wan thought that he might have encountered something even more bizarre than accidentally entering the Peach Blossom Spring.

　　…

　　Liu Xiaoli asked Shu Ze to take away Shu Wan's room card, in order to restrict Shu Wan's activities in disguise. Without the room card, Shu Wan couldn't go anywhere, not even to the restaurant, and couldn't spend money, not to mention that she couldn't go back to the room after going out.

　　In order to prevent Shu Wan from applying for a new room card, Liu Xiaoli also greeted the staff in advance, saying that the child at home was in a bad mood and it would be best to let him rest alone in the room. If he ran out again, they must contact her in time.

　　Shu Wan's suicide by jumping into the sea was witnessed by all. The staff also knew that this young master was now worth a lot, so they dared not provoke him and treated Shu Wan as a key protected person.

　　However, who would have thought that Shu Wan had been replaced quietly, and the current "Shu Wan" had no intention of leaving the room at all.

　　Shu Boqun and Liu Xiaoli's words implied that they wanted to lock him up, so Shu Wan naturally gave up the idea of ​​opening the door to test the water.

　　He was familiar with being locked up, and any attempt or thought of escaping would result in even more severe punishment.

　　Shu Wan's injuries haven't healed yet, and she doesn't want to cause herself any more trouble.

　　When it was time for dinner, someone really brought the food. Shu Wan clumsily picked up the knife and fork and started to work on the slippery pasta on the plate.

　　He ate noodles with a novel taste and texture and stared at the clock on the wall.

　　It was difficult to calculate the passage of time in a confined space. In the past, Shu Wan was locked up in a place without light, and she had to judge the time of meal by the time of meal. She would be "accidentally" forgotten from time to time, but it was clear that the people here were not bad, and three meals a day were provided on time.

Shu Wan learned to read the clock by observing the meal delivery times.

　　He couldn't read numbers, but he discovered that the dial was a refinement of the twelve hours, with the short hand turning twice for one day.

　　Shu Wan has been locked in the room for two days. During these two days, he learned how to turn on and off the faucet by himself. It's magical. It works when he turns it on and stops when he turns it off. It can also produce hot water.

　　When he first used the shower, Shu Wan stood under the shower head and was unexpectedly drenched by the cold water. By the time he hurriedly turned off the shower head, he was also frozen.

　　Fortunately, after some persistent research, Shu Wan finally found a way to turn on the hot water.

　　He took off his wet clothes with great difficulty, mainly because the buttons were difficult to unbutton. Then, relying on the incomplete words on the shelf next to the shower room, he barely made out the functions of the bottles and jars and gave himself a comfortable bath.

　　The hot water kept flowing over her body, making Shu Wan so warm that she didn't want to get out of the shower.

　　It would be better if the wounds on your body didn't hurt.

　　After taking a shower, Shu Wan stood in front of the mirror, looking at her body with a little shyness and curiosity. She had not had enough food for many years, and her brother was already thin, so the person in the mirror looked a little ugly.

　　The pale skin was covered in bruises and purples, all marks left by Liu Aoren beating with various tools he picked up.

　　Shu Wan lowered her eyes, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, looked at the cinnabar mole on the eyelid of the person in the mirror, and left the bathroom.

　　He was sure that this was his own body.

　　Shu Wan and Shu Wan look so much alike that Shu Wan herself even suspected that she had possessed Shu Wan's body after death.

　　That doesn't look to be the case at the moment.

　　From the waiter who brought him food, Shu Wan found out that he was on a "cruise ship" and that the cruise ship was sailing in the sea. Before he woke up, the original Shu Wan fell into the sea, and then, he who was supposed to fall into the river was fished out.

　　So where did Shu Wan go?

　　Will it go to his world?

　　It would be terrible if we were caught by the Liu family.

　　Yes, Shu Wan has realized that the place where he is and Daliang are in a completely different world.

　　Shu Wan found two modern urban novels in Shu Wan's box to kill time. After reading them for a long time, she got used to the simplified Chinese characters. In addition, the sentences were complete, so they were easier to understand than classical Chinese.

　　Shu Wan didn't know what many of the nouns in the text meant, but that didn't affect his brief understanding of modern society.

　　For example, "it died long ago", combined with the context, should mean that the last dynasty of imperial rule has perished; another example is "if you men could get pregnant, your situation wouldn't be much better now". When Shu Wan first saw this sentence, he was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that the book only mentioned men and women from beginning to end, not boys.

It is very likely that the world he lives in now only has men and women, but no brothers.

　　A boy is considered a man, but a boy can get pregnant.

　　The heroine's assumption in the book is correct. If a man can get pregnant, his situation is not much better than that of a woman, or even worse.

　　At least in Daliang, men are the lowest status. They can't carry anything, and their fertility is not as good as women's. They are born to lose money.

　　Shu Wan suppressed her inferiority complex and quietly finished reading the two novels.

　　With the text as a buffer, Shu Wan had a vague idea of ​​the outside world. He heard from the waiter that the ship would dock tomorrow morning and the passengers on board could disembark and go home.

　　Shu Wan knew that he could no longer return to his real home. The three people who came to see him that day should be Shu Wan's father, stepmother, and half-brother.

　　Following their advice, Shu Wan was arranged into a marriage that she did not like.

　　This made Shu Wan inevitably think of herself again.

　　Not only do he and Shu Wan look alike, they also have similar experiences.

　　Shu Wan also married into the Liu family at the behest of her parents, and spent a period of hellish days that she dared not even think about again.

　　Now Shu Wan is helpless, engaged by her father and threatened by her brother...

　　Shu Wan didn't know what would be waiting for him after this huge ship docked, but according to what Shu Boqun and Shu Ze said, he would most likely replace Shu Wan and marry into a wealthy family again.

　　…

　　"Give me the things. I just need to go see my brother." Shu Ze stopped the waiter who was about to turn around and said gently.

　　Most of the people who can board the Sega Cruise Charity Celebration are wealthy families and their assistants or lovers. The service staff are specially trained before boarding the ship, which people should not be offended, and they need to solve their problems in time and try their best to meet their needs.

　　The Shu family was not among them, but the waiter also recognized Shu Ze.

　　The news had spread throughout the ship in the past two days: a family that had boarded the ship with the help of the Yu family had made a joke of fratricide in public.

　　The young master in front of you is the innocent brother who was almost pushed into the sea by his own brother.

　　I heard that the younger brother reacted quickly and grabbed the railing, but the older brother failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice, and fell into the sea.

　　The wealthy families have weak kinship, and the smaller families are constantly fighting.

　　The waiter himself doubted the gossip he heard. He was not involved in the incident, so who knew what was going on. Moreover, he heard from a colleague who had delivered food to the brother that the brother who was being guarded in the room in disguise was good-looking and spoke softly. Compared with the vicious brother who murdered his younger brother, he seemed like a poor little person who was calculated.

　　The waiter was also curious about what magic this brother had that made his colleagues speak to him in a favorable manner after just two encounters, so he took over the job of delivering meals to the brother tonight.

　　Now that his younger brother had come to the door, there was no reason for the waiter to deliver the meal himself. He secretly sized up Shu Ze and handed over the plate respectfully.

　　The elder brother is about to push himself into the sea, can the younger brother be so kind as to forget the past and take the initiative to deliver food to his elder brother?

　　The waiter thought that a normal person would not do that, but when he looked at Shu Ze's generous and tolerant appearance, he thought that he looked like a hypocrite.

He was just there to join in the fun and didn't want to get involved in the brothers' quarrel. The meal could no longer be delivered, so the waiter put away his curiosity about not being able to see the other party, smiled and left the scene.

　　Shu Ze stood in the empty corridor holding a food tray, the smile on his face gradually fading.

　　At this point, most people are in the restaurant.

　　Shu Ze originally wanted to come down and mock Shu Wan, but now he is no longer in the mood.

　　He had exaggerated what happened that day and put the blame on Shu Wan. Now everyone knew that Shu Wan was an angry and irritable fool. But it still didn't work. As long as they had seen Shu Wan in person, these people would still subconsciously favor Shu Wan.

　　It's because Shu Wan is pretty and has a pair of round and clear eyes.

　　Shu Ze once asked a girl who liked Shu Wan why she was so sure that Shu Wan would not do anything bad, and the girl said that a person's eyes cannot lie.

　　absurd.

　　The most deceitful person is Shu Wan. He wants to grab everything and fight for everything. In the end, all the benefits are taken by him, and Shu Wan still pretends to be noble even though he doesn't want anything.

　　It's disgusting.

　　Shu Ze looked at the fried rice which was still warm in his hand, and walked in the opposite direction of Shu Wan's room with a cold face.

　　Sometimes Shu Ze was really curious, why was Shu Wan so lucky?

　　Even a huge pie like marriage with the Yu family could fall into his hands.

　　Just because of a ridiculous birth date.

　　Passing by the trash can, Shu Ze poured the meat and vegetable meal into it.

　　The Yu family also participated in this event. Sooner or later, the "good deeds" done by Shu Wan would reach Yu Hengzhang's ears. Shu Ze didn't believe that even after all this, Yu Hengzhang would agree to marry Shu Wan.

　　It would be best if the Yu family felt ashamed and changed the marriage partner...such as him.

　　Dreaming of becoming a member of the Yu family, Shu Ze went upstairs carrying the empty plate.

　　…

　　Tonight, when the short hand reached the bottom of the dial, Shu Wan was unable to wait for his dinner. He thought that the person who was going to deliver the meal to him might have been delayed by something.

　　Shu Wan looked up at the clock, hugged her knees and waited for a while.

　　The long minute hand turned twice, and the time came to eight o'clock, but there was still no one and no food.

　　Shu Wan originally wanted to find out more about things on the shore, but it seems that this is not possible.

　　As expected, you can't have expectations on anyone.

　　Even though he has suffered so many losses at the hands of the Liu family, it's still hard for him to learn his lesson.

　　Shu Wan moved his stiff legs in a self-deprecating manner. After getting over the initial hunger, he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

　　He was used to being hungry.

Shu Wan got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. After tonight, he would be able to see the outside world with his own eyes.

　　Filled with curiosity and uneasiness, the peaceful night passed quickly.

　　Accompanied by soothing light music, the cabin-wide broadcast reminded all distinguished guests that the cruise ship has docked, and asked them to check their belongings and disembark in an orderly manner.

　　There were footsteps and voices outside the door, but no one came to pick up Shu Wan.

　　Shu Wan sat by the bed and waited for a while.

　　He had already changed his clothes, wearing long sleeves, long pants, and a coat, covering all the skin that shouldn't be exposed. He also carefully put away the remaining personal belongings in the room.

　　It gradually became quiet outside the door, and Shu Wan could no longer sit still. He squeezed the handle of the suitcase, gritted his teeth, stood up, and dragged the suitcase to the door.

　　Shu Wan swallowed, opened the door with trembling hands, and shrank back subconsciously.

　　There were no ferocious guards holding whips outside the door, only a silent corridor.

　　He took a nervous step forward, as if he had fallen into a maze.

　　Shu Wan walked in a corridor with similar decorations, and he was like a ghost, unable to find the exit. The completely unfamiliar environment intensified his fear, and his already uneasy heart became even more panicked.

　　Until a staff member rescued Shu Wan, who was like a headless fly.

　　The staff member was very polite, but the look he gave him was filled with some hidden curiosity and curiosity. Shu Wan was good at reading people's expressions. He nervously grasped the armrest of the suitcase, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at anyone.

　　Fortunately, the staff did not make any other moves and politely took him into a metal box. Shu Wan guessed that this was the elevator mentioned in the novel.

　　He came on deck.

　　The guests had not yet left. When they saw someone arriving late, they cast a vague gaze at Shu Wan with all kinds of complicated meanings, but Shu Wan had no time to pay attention.

　　He looked up at the high-rise buildings outside the dock and was shocked like never before.

　　The salty sea breeze, the noisy voices, everything is so real.

　　There was no way this could be a dream.

　　Shu Wan finally became convinced that he had come to a completely new world and would live here instead of Shu Wan, who looked exactly like him.

　　From this moment on, Shu Wan should be Shu Wan.
