Scheming and Seduction in Quick Transmigration: The Heroine's Beloved is Mine

He took out the box inside, opened it, and found a necklace.

"I noticed Ningning really likes pearls; she looked at them several times when we passed that shop, so I bought them for you."

Wen Zhining took it, glanced at it, and then put it back in his palm.

Just as Jiang Jihe thought she didn't like it and was considering giving her another expensive gift, he heard her say:

"Brother, can you help me put it on?"

Wen Zhining thought he wouldn't refuse.

Just like these past few days when we were out having fun, she said she was afraid to sleep alone, so he still came over and slept on the floor.

Every night she would pretend she couldn't find a spot and deliberately sleep next to him.

He didn't know if she believed him or not, but he always held her very tightly.

Jiang Jihe bent down to face her, his body exuding a minty scent, and placed a necklace around her neck.

"It's very beautiful."

He didn't know if he was talking about the necklace or the person; his fingers hooked around her necklace, his fingertips caressing her neck, and his gaze was dark and unfathomable.

Wen Zhining applied to University A as her first choice, the same university as Jiang Jihe.

The new students start school early, on September 8th.

Wen Zhining and Jiang Jihe spent more than two months in Dali and flew back on the 5th.

She organized the photos Jiang Jihe had taken for her and posted them in a nine-grid format.

[My trip with my brother is over. While we were enjoying the breeze at the beach, we were mistaken for a couple by other people and took some photos. They turned out so beautiful that I wanted to share them with you all.]

Looking at the updates Wen Zhining posted on his phone, Jiang Jihe clicked on each one and read them again.

He has already seen it and saved it on his phone.

There are four photos of her alone with her face covered, and four photos of her and him with their faces covered.

The couple's photo was taken at the beach when a photographer mistook them for a couple and offered to take their picture for free.

Ningning also enjoys taking photos, so Jiang Jihe did not refute the photographer's mistake.

They looked into each other's eyes, put their arms around each other's waists, leaned on each other's shoulders, made heart shapes with their hands, and walked forward hand in hand. The lighting was good, creating a wonderful atmosphere.

Another photo shows their kiss from an optical illusion. When the photographer pointed it out, he noticed their expressions were off and assumed they were shy, so he said it was an optical illusion.

In the photo, bathed in light, he is holding Wen Zhining's waist and looking down, while the girl with flowing hair is obedient and gentle, tilting her head slightly upward.

Jiang Jihe stared at each picture for a long time, especially the one of the misaligned kisses, which he couldn't take his eyes off.

He could almost still recall that time, Wen Zhining's shy appearance, her trembling eyelashes, their breaths mingling, warm and ambiguous.

He almost kissed her.

Xue Peng and Rong Jingshuo also saw this post on their WeChat Moments. As soon as they logged out, their dormitory group chat was bombarded with messages from Wen Yuesheng.

[I'm working so hard to build my career at the company, and Jiang Jihe, you're going on vacation and kissing my sister?]

[I knew you had ulterior motives. You're so good to my sister, picking her up from school, seeing her every night during self-study without fail, giving her gifts, and coming over immediately when you hear she's skipping meals.]

I won't let my sister play with you anymore!

After a while, Wen Yuesheng asked again:

Did you kiss her or not?!

Jiang Jihe glanced at the pop-up message from Wen Zhining and asked him if he had been given a hard time by Wen Yuesheng.

He replied "No" before starting to speak in the dormitory group chat:

[No real relationship, just a camera angle]

Ningning likes taking pictures, and I didn't want to spoil her fun. We're not that bad people.

I only see Ningning as a younger sister. If we had something going on and wanted to keep it from you, would we have posted these photos?

Rong Jingshuo smiled when he saw the message.

It seems that Lao Jiang still doesn't understand his own heart.

On the 8th, Wen Yuesheng personally went home to pick up Wen Zhining and take her to school.

"Huh? You?" Wen Zhining asked somewhat reluctantly.

"You want your brother Jihe? Forget about it." Wen Yuesheng said with a half-smile, "I won't let you have anything to do with him anymore."

"I already told you that the photo was taken from a perspective trick, why are you still so stubborn?" Wen Zhining muttered.

"Or are you just envious? If you're so envious, why don't you find a real girlfriend?"

Wen Yuesheng remained silent.

His pain lies in the fact that he has never had a girlfriend and is still single.

He's a popular figure at school and has even been featured on the confession wall, but he's picky and still doesn't have anyone he likes.

The problem is that these people keep bringing this up.

hateful.

If he doesn't find a partner, then nobody else should either!

Today is the first day of school for new students, and University A is overflowing with people, with the entrance being particularly congested.

Because we needed to fill out a form and find the class receptionist to get the room key, we stopped the car at the entrance.

When a volunteer senior saw Wen Zhining, he immediately tried to approach her, but was scared away by a look from Wen Yuesheng.

They traveled smoothly without any obstacles, and no one even dared to approach them to ask for their campus cards.

Upon arriving at the girls' dormitory, Wen Yuesheng saw a familiar face at the door, carrying something that seemed very awkward to him.

Jiang Jihe saw Wen Zhining, went up to her and took the backpack off her back. "Good morning, Ningning."

"Good morning, brother." She smiled, her eyes crinkling with youthful energy.

Jiang Jihe's smile lingered.

"What are you doing here?" Wen Yuesheng asked irritably, pushing him away. "I don't need you. I'll just take my sister to the dorm."

"Take your backpack back, let's go," Wen Yuesheng said to Wen Zhining, and stepped into the girls' dormitory.

Wen Zhining reached out and took the schoolbag back. Jiang Jihe looked down at her and simply slung it over one shoulder.

"Shall I go up with you?"

Wen Zhining glanced at him and nodded.

Jiang Jihe followed her up the stairs.

Her dormitory was on the third floor, which wasn't high up, so she didn't have to climb many stairs, which Jiang Jihe thought was great.

His gaze was fixed on the person in front of him who was following Wen Yuesheng's footsteps, and he tentatively reached out and touched the hand on her side.

He had taken her up the stairs and they had held hands.

Afraid of being discovered by Wen Yuesheng, Wen Zhining turned her head and glanced at him, saying, "My brother is here."

He lowered his eyes, looking somewhat dejected.

A hand reached out in front of him. He looked up, and the owner of the hand shook it, his eyes fixed on Wen Yuesheng's figure in front of him.

The female students going up and down the stairs were all looking at him, but he only looked at Wen Zhining.

He smiled and grasped the swaying hand.
