Quick Transmigration: The Control Group in Sweet Novels

On the eve of a National Day holiday, Qi Yang made a special phone call home and learned that her parents had something come up and couldn't come to pick her up from the airport. Qi Yang immediately agreed and then told Chen Zuo with a smile.

Chen Zuo was flipping through work documents when she came over. He freed one arm to put his arm around her, put down his pen, pulled her into his arms, and pinched her cheek. "That's perfect. I'll take you back when we get there."

Qi Yang readily agreed.

The high-speed rail station was bustling with people. Chen Zuo was pulling two heavy suitcases with one hand and naturally blocked her hand with the other, protecting her in front of him and avoiding the crowds.

The two walked to a corner to hail a taxi. After getting the taxi, he looked down at Qi Yang's small face and couldn't help but peck the corner of her lips.

The gestures were intimate and natural.

Qi Yang turned her head and looked around. "We're still outside."

"There aren't many people around." Chen Zuo's slightly darkened eyes remained fixed on her face, and he couldn't help but say, "Just a kiss."

But none of them expected that Qi Yang's parents were sitting in a private car parked not far away, and they were caught off guard by this scene.

The carriage was quiet.

Qi's mother stared blankly at the two sticky young people outside the window, not coming to her senses for a long time. She put down her phone, which she was about to use to call Qi Yang, and hesitantly asked, "Is...is that our child?"

Mr. Qi was equally incredulous, "It seems so..."

The two sat in the car, looking at each other in bewilderment.

And so, Chen Zuo didn't even need to take a taxi. Before he could even go home, he got into Qi Yang's parents' car and went straight to Qi Yang's house for an unexpected formal visit.

Chen Zuo hadn't had time to prepare anything and sat upright in the living room.

He raised his hand to reach for the water glass on the corner of the table, but then heard his mother ask if he wanted some fruit. His hand froze in mid-air, and he rubbed it against his knee. He said nervously, "No...no, thank you, Auntie."

Mother Qi scoffed, "No need to be so polite."

Chen Zuo glanced around at the furnishings. He had actually been to the Qi family's house many times and knew its layout by heart, but this time he had to pretend it was his first time visiting. When he went to the bathroom, he even stood up awkwardly and politely asked, "Uncle and Aunt, excuse me, where is the restroom?"

Qi's father pointed out the location to him.

Chen Zuo turned his head and saw Qi Yang on the sofa, her face turning red from trying not to laugh.

Chen Zuo gritted his teeth helplessly and gestured to her with his eyes, "You're happy to see me like this, aren't you?"

Qi Yang pursed her lips, indicating that she was indeed happy.

And so, the first meeting with the parents ended in such an awkward atmosphere. The next day, in an attempt to make up for his previous day's behavior, Chen Zuo immediately brought a car full of gifts and visited again, going through the same process as the previous day, only to be mocked by Qi Yang several times.

With both of their jobs on track, the class reunion in the story arrived as scheduled.

When Qi Yang received Ji Tingyu's message, she had just woken up. She opened her eyes groggily, and after her eyes adjusted to the light for a while, she saw the message from the other party.

Ji Tingyu: Yangyang, I heard our class is having a reunion, are you going?

Qi Yang paused for a moment. This class reunion was a key plot point in the original book. After thinking for a moment, she replied: Go ahead.

Ji Tingyu seemed to be busy and didn't reply to her.

Qi Yang put down her phone and felt Chen Zuo's hand, which was on her waist, gently squeeze it. His chin was still resting on the back of her neck, and his warm breath tickled her neck.

The man's hard body was pressed against her back, and she felt a familiar burning heat.

Qi Yang was taken aback for a moment, then turned to meet Chen Zuo's now fully awake eyes. He calmly asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Yang: "Xiaoyu said our class is having a reunion and asked if I wanted to go."

Chen Zuo closed his eyes again and asked her, "Are you going?"

"Go ahead, what about you?"

Chen Zuo nodded, "Then I'll go too."

Qi Yang pursed her lips, not replying, but instead looking down at his fingers covering hers. She gritted her teeth, "I should get up."

Chen Zuo opened his eyes, and he was already on top of her, breathing heavily as he leaned in to kiss her, "One more time."

"..." The unspoken words were drowned out by the kiss. Her phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up and then went out. It was a message from Ji Tingyu, but neither of them noticed.

On the day of the class reunion.

Chen Zuo was tied up with work, so he had no choice but to let Qi Yang go first, and he would arrive shortly after. Qi Yang waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Okay, no need for you, I'll drive myself."

Chen Zuo listened to the voice message on his phone and smiled helplessly.

The private room was softly lit in the evening, filled with lively chatter. Former classmates reunited, all having shed their youthful naiveté and gained a maturity and worldliness unique to adults.

Qi Yang pushed open the door to the private room, and someone immediately came forward, "Oh, it's been a long time! Our great lawyer has arrived."

The woman had her hair simply tied in a low ponytail and her makeup was appropriate. Qi Yang's eyes curved into a smile as she greeted the woman gently, "Long time no see. Everyone has changed quite a bit."

"Qi Yang, you're amazing! You've already become a partner."

"Yes, in the future, if anyone around us encounters a legal dispute, we'll have someone to rely on."

Qi Yang jokingly added, "You're welcome anytime."

After exchanging pleasantries with her old classmates, Qi Yang walked to a corner seat by the window. Ji Tingyu had already saved the seat for her and greeted her with a smile, "Isn't everyone very enthusiastic?"

Qi Yang nodded heavily in agreement.

Her phone immediately rang, and she turned it on.

Chen Zuo: The meeting is almost over. I'll be there in half an hour. Wife, please save me a seat >᎑<

Qi Yang swiped across the screen, a smile slowly appearing in her eyes, and replied with a "hello".

Then other classmates came over to chat with her. They heard that Qi Yang was now focusing on handling divorce cases involving women, so they came to consult her.

The door to the private room was pushed open again, and a woman with a gentle figure walked in. Someone greeted her, "Xia Nian? It's Xia Nian, it's been a long time."

Xia Nian transferred schools in the first semester of her second year of high school, missing most of everyone's high school years, but the class monitor still went to great lengths to contact her.

Xia Nian sat down with an air of composure. "Long time no see."

"You're a national-level pianist now. I saw the news recently that many universities want to hire you as a faculty member."

Upon hearing this, some people in the room couldn't help but feel envious.

Staying at the university to teach is a stable and respectable career choice, and for most people, it is the best and most secure option.

Xia Nian chuckled softly, "Actually, I've already refused."

"Huh?" The man was taken aback. "Where are you going?"

She said softly, "Actually, I plan to go to remote mountainous areas to teach for a long time. Many children in remote areas basically have no conditions to learn art. I want to bring art there and give children art enlightenment."

A moment of silence fell over the surroundings, and someone couldn't help but exclaim, "That's truly remarkable."

Qi Yang exchanged business cards with that classmate, and then saw a tall and handsome man walk in. His shirt sleeves were casually rolled up to his forearms, and his clear eyes and brows fell precisely on Qi Yang as soon as he passed through the bustling crowd.

Upon seeing her, Chen Zuo's gaze softened, and he took firm steps toward her.
