#1025 - go home

When a ray of morning light shone through the glass window into the cramped, seven-or-eight-square-meter rental room, Wei Changtian slowly opened his eyes.

Familiar yet strange sights filled his vision, the sounds of horns blaring "beep, beep, beep" outside the window rose and fell.

Am I back?

Sitting up from the cold floor, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead and picked up his phone.

"Click~"

The screen lit up, lines of small text densely packed, with the title at the top slightly larger.

[Chapter 92 – The Robbery of the Bride]

His gaze paused, continuing to look upwards, the time displayed was seven twenty in the morning.

But was everything real, or just a pipe dream?

He shook his head with a wry smile and slowly stood up.

"Clatter! Gurgle..."

A golden bead rolled from his pajamas onto the floor, followed by a dark green jade pendant.

Golden Relic, Qingjue Jade Pendant.

His breath hitched for a moment, Wei Changtian picked up the two items and subconsciously circulated his inner strength.

Nothing happened.

But when he held the golden relic in his palm, that familiar heat once again filled every meridian in his body.

"Tear~"

A spatial rift appeared beside him, incongruous like something out of a science fiction film.

Wei Changtian looked at this rift and finally knew that he now possessed the ability to travel back and forth between the two worlds.

However, until the rift gradually disappeared, he did not step into it.

Because he still had things to do.

Changing into clean clothes, he boarded the still-crowded bus, outside the window tall buildings soared, and the morning sun revealed its bright light in this steel jungle.

He spent the entire morning processing his resignation.

In fact, normally this process should have taken longer, but the HR manager didn't know why, she only chatted with Wei Changtian for a few words before signing the resignation application, and also gave him the "n+1" compensation that he shouldn't have received for voluntary resignation.

However, she pointed out that Wei Changtian had misspelled his name, adding an extra "Tian" character.

As for why the always fierce HR manager was suddenly so polite to him, Wei Changtian didn't know.

Perhaps the aura of an "immortal" was too strong?

Probably.

He was too lazy to care about these things, since he had already resigned, he bought a plane ticket home that afternoon.

It was eight o'clock in the evening when he arrived home, Wei's father opened the door, looking surprised.

"Why are you back?"

"Just finished a big project, the company gave me a few days off," Wei Changtian said with a smile, walking into the familiar house, "Where's Mom?"

"Huh? Why are you back? You didn't say anything!"

The middle-aged woman who came out of the kitchen asked the same question.

"Ask my dad!"

Wei Changtian smiled and took off his coat, changing into slippers on his own: "What? Not welcome?"

"What are you saying, child!"

The middle-aged woman scolded, and immediately asked: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Then you wait a while, I'll stir-fry a couple of dishes."

"Okay!"

"Alright, rest up..."

The woman's joyful voice disappeared into the sound of the range hood and the clanging of the spatula, a cliché martial arts drama was playing on the TV.

"How many days are you staying this time?"

Sitting on the sofa, the man said casually: "If you're not busy, stay a few more days, if you're busy, go back early."

"Not busy."

Wei Changtian smiled: "Dad, I'm planning to resign and come back to start a business."

"Start a business?"

The man was stunned: "What kind of business are you starting?"

"Dealing in antiques? Gold? I'll figure it out when the time comes."

"Don't joke around!"

"I'm not joking, I have channels for this."

Wei Changtian glanced at the TV.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll be a screenwriter, the costume dramas I write will definitely be better than these."

.

Ten days later.

Lin'an City, Northwest Jiaotong University.

Starting three days ago, a strange guest had been coming to an open-air café opposite the school gate.

This person would come every morning after the café opened, order a cup of coffee, and then sit on the seat by the street watching the school gate opposite, until the evening when he would leave.

He didn't even eat lunch.

A staff member had once asked him what he was doing, and the latter simply said he was waiting for someone.

Waiting for someone?

Could it be the kind of scenario where he had a chance encounter with someone he fell in love with at first sight, but didn't know the other person's information, only knew that they were a student at Northwest Jiaotong University, so he came here to "wait for the rabbit"?

The café staff would discuss this matter whenever they had free time, enjoying it endlessly.

And that person didn't care about being discussed, every day he sat in the fixed seat outside the door, waiting from morning till night.

Then, at noon on the seventh day, he suddenly stood up and walked straight towards a girl who had just come out of the school gate.

The girl was holding several books in her arms, wearing a baseball cap, as if she had no hair.

"Hey! Look!"

A staff member noticed this scene and quickly called others to come and see.

Soon, a group of people crowded at the French windows of the café, watching the approaching man and woman from afar, their faces full of excitement.

"Did he finally find her?!"

"Oh my! It must be!"

"Wow! This is so romantic!"

"I just don't know if that girl will like him too."

"Look, look! They're talking, they're talking!"

.

"Xu Sui?"

On the other side, when Wei Changtian stopped in front of the baseball-capped girl, the sunlight just passed over the brim of the cap, falling into the latter's bright eyes.

Xu Suisui had once said her real name, and also said that she was studying at Northwest Jiaotong University, so Wei Changtian waited here.

And he waited for seven days, and only this girl looked most like Xu Suisui.

What's more, there was the obvious characteristic of being "bald".

But...

"You are..."

Blinking her eyes in confusion, the girl looked him up and down: "Do I know you?"

"...Sorry."

Wei Changtian was stunned, and then slowly took a step back: "I mistook you for someone else."

"But my name is Xu Sui."

The girl clutched the books in her arms warily: "How do you know my name?"

"...Because I know someone also named Xu Sui, who looks a lot like you."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "Sorry, maybe it's a coincidence."

After earnestly apologizing to the girl, Wei Changtian turned and walked away.

Since the other party didn't recognize him, that was all he could do.

After all, he wasn't sure if bringing back Xu Suisui's remnant soul would be useful.

Even if it was useful, Xu Suisui and he might not have returned to the same world.

Based on the current situation, Xu Suisui either failed to return and died forever on the top of Fangcun Mountain.

Or she returned to her "original" world.

Of the two, Wei Changtian certainly hoped that the latter had happened.

But in any case, at least Xu Suisui had nothing to do with this girl.

So...

"Hey!"

"Do you think there are such coincidences?"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind.

Wei Changtian turned his head blankly, and the girl also ran over with a smile, her face full of "successful conspiracy" pride.

"Hee hee hee! Was my acting good!"

"Did I fool you!"

"Let me tell you! Your expression just now was so funny! I almost couldn't hold back!"

"But seriously, your difference is a bit big!"

"And also, didn't I tell you that I'm studying Chinese language and literature! Why didn't you go directly to the college to find me?"

"It made me wait in the college every day, if I hadn't heard from my classmates that there was an idiot waiting for someone every day at the café opposite the school, I wouldn't know how long I would have to wait for you!"

"Hmph! I know! You must have forgotten!"

"Anyway, you never listen to what I say seriously..."

.

Holding the book, Xu Suisui babbled endlessly.

And Wei Changtian looked at her blankly, and only asked after a long time.

"Are you cured?"

"I'm cured! The doctor was stunned!"

"Then... have you had lunch? Can I treat you to lunch?"

"Yeah! There's a mala tang place next to our school that's so delicious! I'll take you there!"

"No, you're someone who's been an emperor, do you still like to eat mala tang?"

"Mind your own business!"

The midday sun was warm and bright, and cars came and went on the asphalt road.

Under the "benevolent mother smile" gaze of a group of employees in the café, the two walked away slowly side by side, everything around them seemed to have just been bathed, so fresh, so bright.

"By the way, I've always had a question I wanted to ask you."

"Ask away!"

"It's just... why did you want to come back so much?"

"Well, at first I thought that if I died, my parents would be very sad, and I didn't want them to be sad."

"But... then there was another reason."

"What reason?"

"Because only when I come back can I, cough..."

"Can you what?"

Looking at Xu Suisui who suddenly closed her mouth, Wei Changtian urged: "You tell me."

"Only then can I..."

Suddenly, in Wei Changtian's dazed eyes, Xu Suisui suddenly grabbed his arm, and said with a red face:

"Idiot! I won't tell you!"

ps: The finale tomorrow, and a new book will be released at the same time.
