Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Mu Qingxue disappeared, a series of sounds came from the game cabin in one of the bedrooms. “Sleep mode deactivated, sleep mode deactivated…”

Then, a woman sat up from inside and panted heavily.

The woman was confused for a moment. She slowly returned to reality from the edge of her confused mind. Suddenly, she seemed to have realized something and her expression changed drastically. Her gaze quickly scanned the surroundings.

Her heart began to beat wildly and her breathing became rapid.

She… came back?

But Ye Qingran was not dead, yet she had come back. She had failed.

If she came back, Ye Qingran should also wake up.

The fleeting images in her mind made her body tremble uncontrollably. Her gaze was filled with fear.

She was only glad that she had predicted the consequences of her failure just in case. She did not reveal a single trace of herself.

However, Ye Qingran was so smart. What if..

“No, I have to leave…”

She immediately stood up as she spoke. However, the next second, she was overwhelmed by the dizziness and nausea that surged up in her body. Her vision turned black and her body went limp. She fell straight onto the chair.

–

It was always difficult to drive on the road when it was raining. Ye Qingran leaned against the edge of the car window and looked outside through the window. “The weather has been recurring recently. It rains heavily every now and then. Is it always like this during winter in the capital?”

“Yes, it’s cold and wet,” Chu Yan replied.

“I miss Jiang City.” Ye Qingran was afraid of the cold. She liked the weather in Jiang city the most.

The coldest winter in Jiang city was around ten degrees Celsius. Moreover, it was very cold for a very short period of time. It was only about a month. Moreover, it was full of flowers. Walking on the road and bathing in the sunlight, it was comfortable and soothing.

Chu Yan turned to look at her. “This year, we will return to Jiang City for the New Year.”

In the past, Chu Yan was always indifferent. Even when he smiled, his smile never reached his eyes. However, when he was with Ye Qingran, his indifference became warmer. Occasionally, he would look at Ye Qingran, his gaze extremely warm.

“Can we?” Ye Qingran definitely wanted to go back for the New Year. However, Chu Yan had gone back to the capital for the New Year last year. Could he leave for Jiang City this year?

“Of course.”

“Do you want me to bring you home for the New Year at my house?”

“Can I?”

“Of course, no problem. It’s just that my father and my three brothers have very strange temperaments. Moreover, they explicitly forbade me from dating too early. Aren’t you afraid that they will make things difficult for you if you go home with me for the New Year?” Ye Qingran was certain that Chu Yan would go home with her, her father would definitely have a splendid attitude.

“Compared to you, nothing else matters.” Chu Yan’s tone was still calm, but he did not hide his determination to get her and his attitude toward the others that he did not care about.

Ye Qingran tilted her head slightly and suddenly thought of something. There was a trace of mockery in the smile on the corner of her mouth, “Brother, you know everything now. You know that I’m not the original Ye Qingran and that I came here through books. Then why aren’t you curious about how old I was before I entered the book and how I looked like? What If I’m ugly? What if I’m a man or an old woman who’s the same age as your grandfather?”

Chu Yan turned his head to look at the girl who was grinning evilly. He let out an “Oh” and his last syllable was long.

After that, he did not say anything.

Ye Qingran continued to ask, “What do you mean by ‘Oh’? Do you care or not?”

Chu Yan replied, “Oh, it’s between caring and not caring.”

“Then do you still care?” Ye Qingran pretended to be displeased. “Brother, if you say that, I’ll be very angry. I’ll only think that you only love my outer appearance.”

Chu Yan replied, “If one day you change your face, I’ll only be happy regardless of whether you’re beautiful or ugly. But if the soul in your skin has changed, I’ll definitely let her go, no matter what kind of request she makes.”

This made Ye Qingran suddenly not know whether to laugh or cry. “You’re too..

Too what? She couldn’t find an adjective to describe it.

If it were her, she would probably be the same as Chu Yan.

However, if the person she loved had a different face, she would only feel happy regardless of whether that face was beautiful or ugly. On the contrary, she would not let the other party wear her lover’s face.

“You…”

“You…”

After a moment of silence, the two of them spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled.

“What do you want to ask?” Ye Qingran rested her chin on her hand as she looked at Chu Yan who was driving forward. She continued to tease him, “Don’t tell me you want to ask me if I had a boyfriend in the past? Or, do I have a husband?”

“You don’t,” Chu Yan answered with certainty.

Ye Qingran laughed. “How do you know I don’t? Maybe I do have a boyfriend? And maybe I got married and have a husband, which makes you a mistress.”

“I believe in you.”

Chu Yan replied without hesitation, which made Ye Qingran lean on his shoulder and hold his arm. “I believe in you, too.”

Believe in what?

Sometimes, the trust between lovers did not need to be confirmed. They only needed to know each other’s hearts and lean on each other wholeheartedly.

It was dark, and the car continued to drive in the rain. They reached the residential area after the turn. Ye Qingran sat up straight and leaned against the back of the chair. Suddenly, she felt her heart skip a beat.

What followed next was a strong palpitation. She did not know what it was.

She subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on her chest.

Although Chu Yan was driving, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with her. He looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Ye Qingran shook her head and smiled. However, her heart was even more flustered. The scene in front of her also began to distort and blur.

She looked at Chu Yan who was in the driver’s seat. Chu Yan was holding the steering wheel and looking ahead. His indifferent handsome face had a trace of worry because of her actions just now.

Ye Qingran closed her eyes and realized that Chu Yan’s face was gradually blurring from clarity.

Her consciousness also gradually began to become chaotic.

Her heartbeat accelerated again and she panicked. She suddenly had a strong premonition that she was going back.

She was going to leave this world and return to her original world.

If she went back, what would happen to Chu Yan? They were sitting in the same car. If she went back, would he go back with her?

“Chu Yan, my name is Ye Qingran, I…” If he followed her to her world, she wanted to tell him who she was and where she lived so that he could find her.

Chu Yan slowed down his car and listened to Ye Qingran’s words. However, she did not continue after saying that. He subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

There was no one in the passenger seat!

Ye Qingran, who was sitting on the passenger seat, had disappeared! !

Chu Yan was shocked and his expression changed drastically. At the same time, he slammed on the brakes! He panicked and subconsciously shouted, “Ye Qingran…”
