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

Late at night.

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks was amplified infinitely in the quiet night.

On the terrace of the guesthouse.

Jiang Ci magically pulled a magic wand from his coat pocket.

I just bought it at a roadside convenience store.

"Want to play?"

He lit his lighter in the night wind; the flickering flame illuminated his handsome features.

Wen Ning's eyes lit up.

"Play!"

"Sizzle—"

The first sparkler was lit.

Golden sparks burst forth instantly, scattering in all directions and drawing dazzling trails in the dark night.

Like a star fallen to earth.

Wen Ning held the fairy wand and drew circles in the air.

The firelight illuminated her face, and her eyes, which always carried a hint of melancholy, were now filled with pure joy.

Jiang Ci didn't play.

He stood beside her, shielding her from the wind.

Holding a spare fairy wand, ready to refill it for her at any time.

His gaze wasn't on the dazzling sparks, but remained fixed on Wen Ning's face.

to him.

This is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

"Jiang Ci! Look!"

Wen Ning turned around excitedly, and the fairy wand in her hand wrote a crooked "J" in the air.

"It's your name!"

Jiang Ci smiled.

"Yes, I saw it."

One stick burned out.

He handed over a new one.

Then, he lit one and held it in his hand.

Two sparks shone brightly in the night.

The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur, mixed with the salty smell of the sea.

"I've heard that wishes made while facing the sea are very effective."

Jiang Ci looked at the burning flames in his hand and suddenly spoke.

His voice was low, and it sounded exceptionally gentle amidst the sound of the waves.

"Would you like to make a wish?"

Wen Ning was taken aback.

She looked at the faint light in her hand that was about to burn out.

"OK."

The two faced the dark sea.

The sea breeze tousled their hair.

Jiang Ci closed his eyes.

He was a materialist.

He's an engineering student who only believes in data, logic, and code.

He never believed in gods or Buddhas, nor did he believe in making wishes.

But at this moment.

He was extremely devout.

He silently recited in his heart:

I do not seek great wealth or fame.

All I ask for is that the girl beside me be happy and healthy forever.

I begged her... never to leave me.

If there has to be a price, I'm willing to give up everything for it.

Sparks illuminated his closed eyelids.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Wen Ning did not close his eyes.

She turned her head and gazed greedily at Jiang Ci's profile.

Watching him make his wish so devoutly and earnestly.

What is he wishing for?

Is it about the company going public? Or about their future?

Wen Ning's eyes felt a little hot.

In her heart, facing this vast sea, she made her only, and final, wish:

God.

I am a bad person, I don't deserve him.

But I hope... that after I leave, he will live in peace and have a bright future.

I hope Limitless will become the greatest company in the world.

I hope he can meet a good girl who truly understands him and can help him, like Su Qing.

and also……

I hope he can forget me.

Even if you hate me, please don't be sad for me for too long.

"Sizzle..."

The sparkler in my hand burned to its last flame.

The last spark went out.

The world was plunged back into darkness.

Jiang Ci opened his eyes.

He turned his head and met Wen Ning's slightly moist gaze.

"What did you wish for?"

he asks.

He reached out and helped her wrap her scarf tightly around her neck, which had been ruffled by the wind.

Wen Ning sniffed.

Force back the tears welling up in your eyes.

Then, she raised her face and revealed a smile that was both dazzling and utterly fake.

That's the mask of "Wen Ning, the drama queen".

"I'll make a wish..."

She stretched out her hands and made a big circle.

"I wish that you would make lots and lots of money!"

"I want to become the world's richest person!"

"Then give me all that money to spend, buy me a huge villa, countless handbags and diamonds!"

She looked at him, her tone both spoiled and greedy:

"Jiang Ci, you have to work hard!"

"My wish is very expensive."

Jiang Ci was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled.

It was a relieved, indulgent smile.

He was initially worried that she might wish to leave, or wish for something he couldn't control.

original.

It's just money.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

His chin rested on her forehead.

"I know the Jiang family is rich."

He whispered in her ear, his tone carrying the pride and determination of a young man.

"My family will give me anything I ask for."

"But, Ningning."

"I don't want the family's money to support you."

"That belongs to Grandpa, to Mom and Dad, not to me."

He held her, tightening his arms around her.

"I want to use my own hands to earn a future for you."

"Limitless will succeed."

"Although it's tough right now, and although I still have to stay up late and raise investment..."

"But I will prove it."

"Even without the Jiang family, I can still give you the best life."

"I want every penny you spend to be earned by me, Jiang Ci."

On that dark beach, he made his heaviest promise, but also exposed his most vulnerable weakness—his desire to prove himself independently.

"I'll take care of that wish."

Give me some time.

"Anything you want, anything I have, is yours."

Wen Ning leaned against him.

Listen to this promise.

Tears flowed silently down her face.

fool.

How can you believe everything?

You told me your weaknesses without reservation.

I can...

I've completely broken your heart.
