He transmigrated into the body of the school heartthrob's spoiled ex-girlfriend, and he insiste

Big Year.

Snow stopped.

At the entrance of the Jiang family's old residence, the black Phaeton was once again packed to the brim.

Jiang's mother wished she could empty the entire storeroom.

Bird's nest, cordyceps, and even two jars of aged Shaoxing wine treasured by the old man.

"Ningning, come back often when you have time."

Jiang's mother held Wen Ning's hand, reluctant to part.

"If Aci dares to bully you, just call Mom, and Mom will drive to the school and teach him a lesson."

Wen Ning, wearing the red coat, nodded obediently.

"Okay, Mom."

This time, the word "Mom" came out much more naturally than when I first arrived.

Jiang Ci stood by the car, pressing his temples with a hint of helplessness.

"Mom, we're going back to school, not fleeing a famine."

"Besides, there's an urgent matter at the company, so we have to go now."

That's an excuse.

The company is still on holiday.

He simply wanted to take Wen Ning away.

There are too many people in the old house, and too many rules.

Although everyone dotes on Wen Ning, he still longs for some time alone with his partner.

That kind of life where it's just the two of them, without having to worry about the opinions of their elders.

We said goodbye to the warm-hearted Jiang family.

The car drove out of the alley and merged into the heavy traffic on the main road.

……

Half an hour later.

The car exited the overpass.

They did not drive towards the A University dormitory area.

Wen Ning looked out the window.

She knew this area.

It's only two streets away from University A, and it's the most upscale apartment complex in the area.

Quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, heavily guarded, and prime real estate.

"Aren't you going back to the dorm?"

Wen Ning asked.

"I won't reply."

Jiang Ci turned the steering wheel, and the car skillfully drove into the underground parking garage.

Parked in a designated parking space.

"Those things are too valuable; it's not safe to leave them in the dorm."

He unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at her.

There was a hint of mystery in his eyes.

"And I want to take you somewhere."

The elevator goes directly to the top floor.

28th floor.

"bite."

The elevator doors opened.

It is a single-level apartment with one unit per floor.

Jiang Ci walked to the heavy security door.

I didn't take the key.

Instead, he grabbed Wen Ning's hand and pressed it onto the fingerprint lock.

"drop--"

The green light comes on.

The door opened.

Wen Ning was taken aback: "My fingerprints?"

"I recorded this while you were asleep that day."

Jiang Ci pushed open the door and pulled her inside.

into the eye.

It was an excessively spacious living room.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows face the Weiming Lake at University A, offering an excellent view.

The interior design style is a typical minimalist and cool aesthetic.

The main color scheme is black, white, and gray, with clean lines and no superfluous decorations, which even makes it seem a bit cold and desolate.

This is very similar to Jiang Ci's previous style.

Rational, restrained, devoid of any human warmth.

"This is……"

Wen Ning stood in the entryway, somewhat bewildered.

"Bought."

Jiang Ci took out a pair of brand-new pink slippers from the shoe cabinet and squatted down to help her put them on.

"The down payment was paid with my first pot of gold."

"Originally, I intended it as a backup location for the studio, or as an investment."

He stood up.

Looking at Wen Ning, her eyes softened.

"But now, I want to treat it as my home."

"A home that belongs only to the two of us."

He took a key out of his pocket.

Place it in Wen Ning's palm.

The coolness of the metal made Wen Ning's palms feel hot.

"Dormitory is a place with lots of people and distractions."

"From now on, we'll come here on weekends, or whenever we don't want to stay at school."

"There's no one else here, you can do whatever you want."

Wen Ning gripped the key tightly.

Looking at this empty house, yet filled with the promise of "the future".

My heart felt completely filled.

He's already planning for the future.

They even prepared a little nest for the two of them.

Do you like it?

Jiang Ci hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"like."

Wen Ning nodded vigorously.

"I really like it."

……

The two began packing their luggage.

We stuffed the New Year's goods we brought back from the old house into the double-door refrigerator.

Hang Wen Ning's clothes in the walk-in closet.

This is a duplex loft structure.

The second floor houses the master bedroom and study.

After packing her things, Wen Ning went barefoot to the second floor for a visit.

The wooden floor is comfortable to walk on and makes a slight creaking sound.

She walked to the corner of the bedroom wall.

There was a decorative Monstera deliciosa plant there.

"Crunch."

A strange sound suddenly came from beneath my feet.

Wen Ning stopped in his tracks.

She looked down and then tentatively stepped on it.

"Crunch."

"Jiang Ci!"

She leaned on the railing and called out to the person downstairs who was making coffee.

"Your floorboards are damaged! One section is loose!"

Jiang Ci came up carrying two cups of coffee.

I glanced at that corner.

"Oh, that."

He came over and placed the coffee on the bedside table.

Then he crouched down, gripped the edge of the floorboard with his fingers, and gently lifted it.

The floorboards had been lifted up.

Below, a small, square hidden compartment is revealed.

It was only about the size of two bricks, and it was pitch black.

There was some dust left over from the renovation, and a few electrical conduits inside.

"Flaws during the renovation."

Jiang Ci explained.

"There was originally a floor outlet reserved here, but the plan was changed and it wasn't installed. The workers were lazy and didn't seal it off; they just covered it with flooring."

He frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the flaw.

"I'll get someone to fix it tomorrow and seal it off completely."

As a perfectionist, Jiang Ci could not tolerate such a "flaw".

"No!"

Wen Ning suddenly squatted down and stopped his hand.

She peered curiously into the small hole, her eyes sparkling.

"Don't fix it! This is so much fun!"

"It's like one of those escape room mechanisms in a movie!"

She reached out and gestured in the dark compartment.

"Look, the space is quite large."

"Although it can't hold anything big, it's more than enough to hold a diary or a jewelry box."

Jiang Ci found her childish behavior somewhat amusing.

"What are you hiding here?"

"It's all dust down here."

"That's now!"

Wen Ning put the floorboard back on, then lifted it up again.

Have a great time.

"I can clean it up and put a small mat on it."

Wen Ning looked up, winked at Jiang Ci, and had a sly look on her face.

"This will be my secret base from now on!"

"I'm going to hide my secret stash of money here! Or... a diary that insults you!"

Jiang Ci raised an eyebrow.

"Hiding money on the side?"

He reached out and pinched her cheek.

"My cards are all with you, why do you still need to hide money from others?"

"Those are two different things!"

Wen Ning spoke with righteous indignation.

"This is fun! You wouldn't understand!"

"This hole is mine now, so you're not allowed to seal it up! And you're not allowed to peek!"

Jiang Ci watched her guarding her food.

He sighed helplessly.

That obsession with perfect decoration is utterly insignificant in her eyes.

"OK."

He let go.

"The lockdown will be lifted."

"I'll leave this as a secret base for you."

He stood up and helped Wen Ning up as well.

"but……"

He leaned closer to her, his tone carrying a dangerous smile.

"Keeping a diary is acceptable."

"If you dare to hide love letters from other men, I'll tear this floorboards down."

Wen Ning threw herself into his arms, laughing so hard she was shaking.

"A domineering devil!"

……

evening.

sunset.

The Weiming Lake outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was dyed gold.

The lights were off inside.

The two of them snuggled up on the sofa in the living room.

Wen Ning ate potato chips while watching a movie on the projector.

Jiang Ci sat next to him, a laptop on his lap, processing emails.

Occasionally, he would offer her a peeled nut.

Wen Ning naturally opened her mouth and ate it, her eyes never leaving the screen.

This tacit understanding.

It was as if they had lived here for a long time.

Wen Ning glanced in the direction of the second floor.

The hidden compartment in the corner.

It's still empty.

she thinks.

What should we put in there next?

Maybe it's our marriage certificate?

Perhaps this is the baby's first ultrasound report?

Or perhaps... love letters written to each other when they are seventy or eighty years old?

Those imaginings about the future were as beautiful as a colorful bubble.

It sparkled in the sunset.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ci finished her work and closed her laptop.

I saw her staring blankly.

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Wen Ning snapped out of her daze and snuggled into his arms.

Like a lazy cat.

"I just feel... this place is really nice."

"I wish I could live here forever."

She muttered something under her breath.

Jiang Ci hugged her tightly.

His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice deep and resolute.

"Yes."

"If you want to."

"We can live here forever."

Wen Ning closed her eyes.

Listen to his heartbeat.

Boom, boom, boom.

She prayed silently in her heart:

System.

If you have a spirit.

Is it possible to... make this "forever" a reality?
