Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Lan Xichen arrived at the room that had been arranged for him and began to think about the events of the day.

Kim Ja-hoon's sudden coma is a bit strange.

Li Shuang appeared in the room, holding a handful of lotus seeds and eating them.

"Xichen, are you hungry?" She walked to his side and tugged at his sleeve.

Seeing Li Shuang's appearance, Lan Xichen cleared his mind of his thoughts and smiled, saying, "Hungry? Shall I have someone bring you some food?"

Li Shuang nodded: "Okay!"

After the person who delivered the food left, Li Shuang came out from inside.

Lan Xichen went over, took her hand, and led her to sit down at the table.

"Eat if you're hungry, and see if it suits your taste!"

"Yes, are you going to eat and drink too?" Li Shuang nodded and then took out a pot of wine.

She poured a glass for each of them. The wine she gave them was drinkable, but the wine Jin Zixun gave them was a provocation and there was no need to drink it.

"I'll drink with you, I know you like to drink!" Lan Xichen said with a smile.

Li Shuang nodded: "This is a wine from my collection that you haven't tried before. Why don't you give it a try?"

Lan Xichen picked up the glass and took a sip: "The taste is more mellow than pear blossom wine; it's obviously been aged for a longer time!"

“That’s right, it tastes better when you drink different flavors.” Li Shuang poured him another glass.

Gradually, the two finished a small pot of wine. This wine had a high alcohol content and a strong aftereffect.

Without using their spiritual power, both of them were a little drunk. Li Shuang's face was flushed, and Lan Xichen smiled as he looked at her.

He raised his hand and did something he wouldn't normally do: he pinched her cheek.

"Shuangshuang, why does your face feel so hot to the touch?" Lan Xichen felt that it felt very nice.

Li Shuang grabbed his hand: "You actually pinched my cheek, I'm going to pinch yours too!"

After saying that, she rushed towards Lan Xichen, who caught her because he was worried that she would get hurt.

The two were currently embracing, and Li Shuang couldn't remove her hands, while Lan Xichen was still laughing.

She opened her mouth directly at his face and took a bite.

"Let's see if you're still laughing! Haha!" Ming Su burst out laughing.

Lan Xichen was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she was still smiling, he hugged her tightly, lowered his head, and sealed her lips with a kiss.

Li Shuang swallowed her laughter back. The two of them, slightly drunk, gradually succumbed to the temptation.

Finally, Lan Xichen picked up the person and carried them to the bed inside the room.

The curtains were drawn, obscuring the view inside; only the sounds of movement could be heard.

……

Neither of them noticed that Lan Wangji reached the door, heard the noise inside, and then turned back.

He had come to discuss Jin Zixun's matter with his brother, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter coming from his brother's room.

He paused for a moment, then realized the atmosphere inside was a bit off, so he left immediately.

Lan Wangji recalled the laughter and felt it sounded familiar. That's right, he remembered it. It was the woman he had seen in Caiyi Town a few months ago. At the time, she seemed to have a very close relationship with his brother.

He sincerely hoped that his brother could find his own happiness. Lan Wangji stared blankly at the night sky.

"Lan Zhan, what are you thinking about?"

Wei Wuxian had been waiting for Jin Zixun to wake up, so he didn't leave tonight.

Lan Wangji looked at him: "Why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you!" Wei Wuxian said, drinking his wine.

The two stayed for quite a while before Wei Wuxian went back.

*

The next day, everyone received news that Kim Ja-hoon had woken up and was unharmed.

Seeing that he was alright, Wei Wuxian went to find him.

"Jin Zixun, where is Wen Ning?"

The commotion caused by their struggle drew the attention of others who rushed over.

Lan Xichen touched the bell, thinking about what happened last night. He rubbed his forehead, feeling that he had been too impulsive and had been too abrupt with Li Shuang.

He just left, and Li Shuang went inside the bell to rest.

Lan Wangji rushed over, and upon seeing him, he paused, exclaiming, "Brother, you...!"

"Wangji, is something the matter?" Lan Xichen asked with a smile.

Lan Wangji shook his head: "Let's go inside first!"

Lan Xichen nodded and followed him inside, where they saw Wei Wuxian and Jin Zixun, looking tense and ready to fight.

Seeing that Wei Wuxian was about to lose control, Lan Wangji quickly went over to him.

Lan Xichen also stepped forward, and in the end, Jin Zixun was frightened by Wei Wuxian and revealed Wen Ning's location.

Wei Wuxian knew the place and left immediately.

His behavior angered many people here, and they all started talking about him.

Sect Leader Jin was furious and took it out on Jin Guangyao, who was serving him tea.

He forcefully pushed the teacup away, spilling tea onto Jin Guangyao's clothes, but he didn't even look at it before leaving.

Lan Xichen looked on, wanting to stand up, but Li Shuang's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Xichen, I'm awake!"

Lan Xichen quickly said, "Are you still tired? I apologize for last night. I was too forward with you. I'll explain to my uncle when we get back. Would you be willing to marry me?"

Li Shuang shook her head: "It's alright, it's a matter of mutual consent, there's no rush to get married."

"Are you unwilling to marry me?" Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen felt somewhat disappointed.

Li Shuang smiled and said, "Of course not, it's just that there's no rush."

Lan Xichen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was afraid you wouldn't agree."

"I would! Xichen is so wonderful, how could I not!" Li Shuang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen's eyes were filled with a deep smile.

"Host, why are you being so glib these days?" Xiao Qi interrupted again, ruining the atmosphere.

Li Shuang rolled her eyes: "What are you talking about? I'm just being sweet-talking. You should learn from me, or you'll stay single!"

"Wow, I don't want that, I want to be sweet-talking too!" Xiao Qi quickly said.

Pear Frost said lazily, "Be a good girl."

Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic, knowing she could never win an argument with her host.

Jin Guangyao dried himself off, saw Lan Xichen standing there, and walked up to him.

"Second brother, I'm sorry you had to see this!" he said with a smile.

Lan Xichen asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Jin Guangyao shook his head: "It's just that this Young Master Wei is too impulsive. How could he speak and act like that?"

Lan Wangji spoke up: "Is what he said wrong?"

Jin Guangyao immediately changed his tone: "That's right, but we can't say it to your face!"

Lan Xichen wanted to speak, but then he thought of something and remained silent.

After a smile, everyone dispersed. Lan Wangji followed him outside, said goodbye, and left.

Lan Xichen watched his retreating figure with some worry.

"Xi Chen, don't you think the Jin family is just like the Wen family?"

Li Shuang planned to talk to him about this and encourage him to think in that direction.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen thought for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"

“Although it’s not obvious yet, take Jin Zixun for example. Isn’t he similar to Wen Chao, though not as violent?” Li Shuang said.

Lan Xichen nodded: "These two do have somewhat similar personalities!"

Li Shuang continued, "Wei Wuxian's matter is also very troublesome."

“Although Wei Wuxian acts somewhat recklessly, he is also a kind person with principles,” Lan Xichen said.
