Gu Ci walked slowly, so the two of them were several meters behind Big Black who led the way in front.

When Yan Luqing heard what Gu Ci said, she couldn’t help but laugh twice: “Ha ha, you want me to talk about my past…” She changed her posture in Gu Ci’s arms and straightened her upper body a little, “The past me is not similar at all with the present me. I have so——many friends in high school.”

She stretched the word ‘so’ very long and extended her arms to indicate that it was really that ‘many’.

Gu Ci only hummed a response.

Yan Luqing continued to babble: “They all said that I am a person who gets familiar easily with others, easy to get along with, and they had a good time talking to me. So it has always been very lively around me, and they are all beautiful sisters who are twittering by my side.”

Thinking of such beautiful things, Yan Luqing couldn’t help giggling. After laughing, she said, “However, although I have so many friends, there is only one who really has a very good relationship with me… Alas, I miss her very much.”

Gu Ci naturally replied: “If you miss her, why don’t you see her.”

“Because——” Yan Luqing got stuck for a while and her voice stopped.

She wanted to try again: “Because——”

The result is that she was stuck again there.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to say it, but she can’t say it at all no matter what.

Yan Luqing was very upset. Since the road was blocked, she simply changed her words. “It’s not that I can immediately see her anytime I want to.” she shrugged her shoulders. “Anyway, I can’t see her yet at the moment.”

Without waiting for Gu Ci to say anything, she already continued with gusto: “Ah, there’s more! Don’t interrupt me before I finish talking about my past! “

Gu Ci slightly turned his face and smiled, “Okay, you continue.”

While talking, they have already walked to the side of the car to return home.

Big Black helped to open the door and the two got into the back seat.

Yan Luqing is very biased, and she only wants to talk to Gu Ci——After she got in the car, she waited for the partition with the driver’s seat to rise first, completely isolating the two spaces between the front seats and the rear seat, before she began to talk again:

“I have never known a handsome boy like you in the past.” Yan Luqing wrinkled her nose. “I originally thought the senior who chased me was already very handsome in the three dimensional world[1], because after I rejected him at that time, all the sisters said I didn’t know to appreciate what is good for me, and they also said I would never meet anyone more handsome than him again… Wow, I should really let them come and see you!”

——Let them come and see what a real princess is. A male princess is indeed the best and most beautiful.

However, Yan Luqing didn’t say the last sentence out in the end because, even under the influence of alcohol, she knew that such remarks could not be danced out in front of the Lord[2].

Listening to her description, not only she has many friends, but also many suitors.

Before Gu Ci could say anything, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught the swaying of white color and then he felt his legs sink——

Yan Luqing was dizzy while sitting in the car and she fell to the side in a very smooth motion. As soon as she fell down, because the length was just right, her head happened to fall on Gu Ci’s leg.

There was silence in the car.

“… Your friends are right.” Gu Ci said after evaluating it pertinently, “You are indeed a person who gets familiar easily with others.”

Yan Luqing raised her face in confusion and said: “Huh?”

“It’s nothing.” Gu Ci acquiesced in her practice, “Continue.”

“Oh, continue…” Yan Luqing then thought for a while, “In the past, I didn’t have so much money like now.”

She felt a lot more comfortable after lying down, but her tone was obviously not as cheerful as before. It seems that her whole person has calmed down, and now it somewhat has a nostalgic atmosphere.

“I have never lived in such a big villa. I have never been taken care of by so many people.” Then Yan Luqing’s voice paused before she continued with a tone that was a little bit downcasted, “And I never had so many people afraid of me before.”

Her seemingly depressed feeling lingered in the narrow space, as if it had changed from a sunny day to a cloudy day and a fine and dense rain began to fall.

Her emotions changed so quickly that she was a little caught off guard.

“In the past, I also never had so many… family members.”

[1] three dimensional world: the real world (she) lives in.

[2] do not dance in front of the Lord: it mainly refers to things or people that have nothing to do with the main event/people/CP, shouldn’t be put out, lest it cause disturbances and other people will get angry because their main event etc was disrupted.

 

Yan Luqing was lying on her back on Gu Ci’s lap. Her face was facing upwards, and her vision was also straight towards the window on the car roof. The neon lights passing through the window occasionally shine in, leaving mottled light and shadow on her facial features.

Gu Ci looked at a small light spot above her eyes, watched her suddenly lift her fingers, started to count using her fingers and said, “I had counted, that I will only miss the Dean, the Dean’s wife and some of my friends and classmates. The rest… It turns out that I have not even a few people left that I missed.”

After speaking, her expression looked particularly blank and empty, and it looked like two different people with her usually happy and eccentric appearance.

In the current situation, she will probably answer anything anyone asks if they only extend it a little bit more.

What Gu Ci had originally wanted to ask, now made him didn’t want to ask anymore at all.

“Yan Luqing.”

“Huh?”

“As long as there’s someone to be missed, even if the number is small, even if you can’t see them, it’s not a bad thing either.”

Gu Ci’s voice still sounded so magnetic and it was mixed with many complex emotions. Every word reached her ears very clearly.

He seldom said long sentences, so even if her brain turned slowly at this time, Yan Luqing still listened very carefully.

“The really bad thing is…” Gu Ci’s voice paused and a habitual smile hung on his lips as he murmured, “The people you missed are no longer there.”

“……”

At this moment, Yan Luqing’s chaotic brain was awake for a moment.

In this moment, she clearly realized what Gu Ci meant by these two sentences.

He grew up with a happy family and a happy life, but his family was destroyed because of an unexpected man-made disaster.

All the people he could think of were gone.

He was using his experience to…comfort her.

Gu Ci looks no different from usual. His side face is beautiful and cold, but the expression in his eyes is very gentle.

Yan Luqing suddenly felt inexplicably sad. After she understands that it was him comforting her, she is even more sad than when she had just recalled her memory indiscriminately. She can’t organize any words now. She just wants to say something to dispel this repressive feeling.

“Actually, I said those, not with envy. Not at all.” Yan Luqing pressed down the uncomfortable feeling, and continued to talk down the previous topic between the two of them, “Because my past self looks much more beautiful than my present self——I mean it, Gu Ci.”

Gu Ci hung his eyes, and his eyelashes casted a crow-feather like shadow below. He replied with a smile: “Really? How beautiful?”

Afraid that he wouldn’t believe it, the girl’s voice suddenly increased, “So beautiful that those girlfriends of mine told me if it wasn’t for my personality, they wouldn’t have such a good relationship with me, solely because of my face——Because they were afraid that the boys they liked will likes me instead.”

Yan Luqing also forgot whether her girlfriends said it or not. Anyway, she didn’t lie. No matter whatever part of her past body, it all looks so much better than her present body.

“In the past, I wouldn’t have been regarded as a lunatic either…”

“In the past, I wouldn’t start panting just after taking two steps, and I wouldn’t inexplicably feel pain everywhere in my body.”

“Also, I used to have a lot of hair, and the hair quality was super good.” She was probably a little forgetful when she was drunk. Yan Luqing said a few of them, and soon became happy too from her own talk. “Even the beautiful girl in the next class who is not familiar with me will also come and ask me what shampoo I use.”

Unlike now, the sky-high price of shampoo can’t even save the dry hair from the root, it can only be barely maintained.

Gu Ci’s smile deepened and he hummed.

A short hum caused his Adam’s apple to slide up and down, looking inexplicably sexy in the night.

Yan Luqing stared at him and admired it for a while. Suddenly, after a flash of inspiration, she thought of something again.

But she was afraid that the partition was not soundproofed and she didn’t want to be heard by the driver in the front row.

So she raised her face and hooked her finger at Gu Ci:

“Gu Ci, come here. Give me your ears.”

But Gu Ci didn’t listen to her.

 

Yan Luqing was still lying on his lap. She looked up and saw that he half hung his eyes while looking at her silently.

Yan Luqing looked at those beautiful black eyes, so deep as if there was a kind of magic which would suck people in after staring at them for a long time. Her heart was anxious and regardless of the desperate situation, she stretched out her hand to hook his neck, and directly pulled the person to the same height as herself——

Yan Luqing was very close to his ear, and said in a very soft voice:

“It suddenly occurred to me that I used to have a super good figure too in the past!” The girl’s voice couldn’t hold back the excitement. “Although it’s less than C, it’s definitely the top B!”

“…………”

Yan Luqing didn’t expect that she, a person who has liked drinking for so many years, would one day have the idea of ‘I will never drink again for the rest of my life’.

Now, it is the morning of the second day after Old Master Zhang’s birthday.

A person, who was a wine lover, is deeply repenting her own behavior.

Yan Luqing buried her head deeply in the quilt while recalling what happened last night. She didn’t even want to get up from the bed and didn’t even want to dig out Barbie’s Dream Castle with her toes anymore——Yan Luqing thought it would be more appropriate for her to jump off a building and try to cross back to the previous world.

Yan Luqing collapsed for a while, raised her head from the quilt and called for Makabaka again.

“Maria…” Its voice sounded trembling, “I know you are very broken, but when Gu Ci is around, I really can’t connect to you…”

“I know. I’m not here to condemn you. I love drinking so I have to bear the consequences myself.”

Yan Luqing thought of the inexplicable situation where she couldn’t make a sound when she was questioned by Gu Ci.

The scene seemed familiar…Yan Luqing thought hard. It seemed that after she and Gu Ci fell down the hillside not long ago, Gu Ci jokingly asked her why she was so heavy. When Yan Luqing wanted to explain that she didn’t fall down by herself, she was also stopped by the same thing——The sense of losing her voice as if her throat was sealed.

She briefly described her two experiences to Makabaka, “What’s going on with this?”

Makabaka: “Because the book transmigration system will not allow the host to say words about ‘Book Transmigration’ and ‘System’. For example, the real reason why you fell down last time was the system. The real reason for the inability to answer the question you had to answer last night is because the answer had something to do with the fact that you do not belong to this world——Which is also prohibited by the system.”

“…” Okay. At least this can be counted as leaving the last piece of fig leaf[1] for her.

But——How to explain the remaining words that begin with ‘in the past’???

Why did it turn into this?

What would Gu Ci think??

Will he take the word ‘in the past’ as the past of the original owner of this body—— No, fools won’t even take it that way, let alone Gu Ci.

But… If he really understood what her so-called ‘In the past’ was, why did he seem to accept it so quickly and so well?

This is impossible.

If Yan Luqing had never transmigrated into a book and her best girl friend told her that she was reborn, Yan Luqing would personally pay for her psychological counseling first even if her financial situation was so very bad.

Ah, psychological counseling——

Yan Luqing’s eyes lit up: There is a way, there is a way!

She immediately got out of bed, washed and cleaned up with the fastest speed, and informed Big Black: “Contact Doctor Qu immediately. I want to go to a face-to-face consultation in an hour.”

In between, she very smoothly didn’t meet Gu Ci at all in the villa.

But as for whether he heard about her going out or not, Yan Luqing didn’t know either.

When she arrived at Doctor Qu’s place, it was almost the same as when she first crossed over last time. Yan Luqing still did all kinds of tests first according to her instructions——She didn’t fill in the truth but chose the most outrageous one.

Doctor Qu asked her a question, and Yan Luqing also answered quite strangely.

“I… I always wake up suddenly in the middle of the night recently, um… I always feel that there is another self in the dark, staring at me all the time.” she stared at Doctor Qu with a half confused and half serious look, “Tell me, what’s wrong with me?”
