Chapter 4 - The intruder (1st Arc)

Xie Fang couldn't see anything for a moment due to the blinding light.

He closed his eyes due to the pain, and when his eyes opened again, he felt like a long time had passed even though it all took place and ended in less than a minute.

Xie Fang looked around. He was in a luxurious room. The walls of the room were painted royal blue and expensive-looking paintings were hanging there.

The furniture in the room also looked very expensive with delicate carvings on them. It looked like a nobleman's bedroom.

 Xie Fang had never seen such a luxurious sight in his twenty-one years of life before.

This was something he had once seen in the CEO TV drama he had once seen one of his female co-workers watching accidentally while doing a part-time job. 

 At that time he had only thought of two words, 'fake' and 'cringe,' but now he understood what the phrase 'seeing is believing' meant .

Currently, he was the only one in the room. Xie Fang walked around to get familiar with the place.

After getting familiar with every corner of the room, Xie Fang turned to Xiao Ba and asked, "Where are we right now?...Whose body will my soul enter?"

Xiao Ba answered while lying on the soft king-size bed, "This is our first mission world. Your soul has already occupied the target's body."

 Xie Fang was shocked upon hearing Xiao Ba's last words, because when he had checked the room a while ago, he had looked in the large mirror of the wardrobe and thought he saw his own face. 

 He asked with a puzzled expression, "Why do we have the same face and even the same weak, thin body?

"The owner of this body lives in such a luxurious place, why would he have such a weak and thin body like mine?"

Xiao Ba was too lazy to say anything right now, he sent two white dots of light towards Xie Fang's head, then turned himself into a cat and went back to sleep. 

 The white dots of light touched Xie Fang's forehead and dissolved right away. Xie Fang felt a warm sensation when the white dots of light touched his forehead.

He wanted to place his hand on that spot, but before he could do that, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead, causing him to fall on the ground.

 He felt as though something was being forced into his head.

Xie Fang saw someone's memory fragments from a first-person perspective. A moment later, he saw more memory fragments and realized what it was.

Xie Fang concentrated. He tried to focus on those fragments while ignoring everything else.

 About ten minutes later, Xie Fang opened his reddened eyes. Those fragments were the memories of this body's previous owner.

The previous owner of this body was also called Xie Fang. He was the son of A City's Xie Family.

The Xie family ranked fifth when people talked about the top ten most powerful families in A City.

This world's Xie Fang was the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Xie. It could be said that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but it seemed that heaven was jealous of his good fortune. 

 He was born with a weak body. He had experienced near-death situations many times since he was a little child.

Although his family was wealthy, they couldn't provide him a healthy body. His parents consulted many renowned doctors, but all they got in return was disappointment.

 Due to his poor health, "Xie Fang" was home schooled from a young age. The only friend he had was a Pomeranian which was given to him by his elder brother as a gift for his 16th birthday five years ago.

There is an eight-year age gap between "Xie Fang" and his brother Xie Shing. "Xie Fang" is twenty one years old and his brother is twenty nine years old this year.

Although it might not seem big right now, but back then, due to their age gap and Xie Fang's weak body; they were unable to experience what it feels like to have a sibling.

 Xie Shing was good to "Xie Fang", he was always kind and caring towards him, but there seemed to be an invisible distance between them due to the lack of proper communication and age difference.

Sometimes "Xie Fang" felt like he and his brother were strangers.

 Xie Fang had never experienced family love which most people take for granted. He had never seen his family in his twenty-one years of life.

He thought he didn't care about it, but when he found out that someone who looked exactly like him had loving parents and a caring brother, he felt a little jealous of "Xie Fang".

No… this was not the time to think about it.

 Xie Fang shook his head to kick out the negative emotions welling up inside him. He focused on a different set of memories that didn't belong to either him or this world's "Xie Fang".

 In this set of memories, the main character was a young and beautiful looking girl with dark hair and blue eyes. She looked like a magazine cover model.

She had fair skin and her blue eyes seemed to stare into your soul. Her name is Li Yuxi. She is mixed race. Her mother is a well-known American actress while her dad is a Chinese businessman.

She seems to have possessed the best features from both of her parents.

 The main point about her is that she is the intruder of this world.

This intruder replaced Li Yuxi's soul when she was only 18 years old and after that, the shy and lovely girl was replaced by cunning and a fake intruder.

The intruder wouldn't be able to control the possessed body freely as long as the host of the body is still around. So, after the intruder replaced real the Li Yuxi, her soul was destroyed.

The real Li Yuxi had to endure soul tearing pain at such a young age, her soul was destroyed before she could understand anything...what a pity.

 This set of memories contained how the intruder occupied someone's body and how this new "Li Yuxi" won others' love and goodwill by her lovely and hardworking personality. 

 Everything was going smoothly for "Li Yuxi". She had many admirers, from teenage to adulthood and she was adored by everyone around her.

Xie Fang frowned. He felt that it would be really hard for him to complete his first task.

First of all, he didn't have a strong and healthy body, and second; Li Yuxi is his brother's FIANCÉ! 

 As for why this world's "Xie Fang" was not affected by her was because he had travelled to America for treatment and came back yesterday after more than half a year wasteful treatment.

Xie Fang was lost in thoughts when he heard a knock on the door. He turned and asked, "Who?"

 An answer came from outside, "Young master, Madam is calling you for dinner. Elder Master Xie Shing and his fiancé are also there."

 Xie Fang's eyes widened.

Fuck.

Li Yuxi is here!
