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

On the road

"How was your first day at work?" Shen He asked.

Qiu Yingying: "It's great. Work is going smoothly, and I get along well with my colleagues."

Shen He: "That's good. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Would it be convenient for us to have a meal together? Consider it a celebration for your perfect first day at your new job."

Qiu Yingying said sincerely, "Let me treat you to dinner to thank you for taking me home."

Shen He raised an eyebrow: "Okay, I'll treat you next time."

If you treat me this time, I'll have a reason to treat you to a meal next time.

They drove all the way to the restaurant. Shen He got out of the car and went to Qiu Yingying's side to help open the door. After Qiu Yingying got out, the two walked into the restaurant side by side. From behind, they did look very well-matched.

Qiu Yingying, who is 1.67 meters tall and wearing high heels, is half a head shorter than Shen He, who is 1.87 meters tall. The man is tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and has long legs. The woman is slender and petite with a small waist and long legs. They have a curvaceous figure and look very well-matched.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shen He followed the waiter to his seat and naturally handed the menu to Qiu Yingying: "Let's see what we'd like to eat?"

Qiu Yingying took the menu and ordered one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup. Then she handed the menu to Shen He and let him order what he liked. After ordering, Shen He got up, took Qiu Yingying's tableware, and rinsed it with his own. His slender fingers with distinct knuckles made him look pleasing to the eye as he held the bowls and plates.

Shen He is indeed handsome, has a good physique, a good temperament, and is very polite and well-mannered. He suddenly decided to have dinner with me today and even gave me a ride home. He must have some feelings for me. However, I don't mind. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to be with him. Shen He does fit my aesthetic and is my type. Since we're both interested, I'll just let things take their course.

Shen He washed the bowl and handed it to me. I took it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome"

The food arrived, and the two chatted as they ate. The conversation turned to work; it turned out that Shen He and a friend had co-owned a law firm, occupying the entire 18th to 20th floors. Qiu Yingying worked on the 12th floor, and the firm also spanned three floors.

Qiu Yingying tentatively asked, "How old are you?"

Shen He: "Twenty-seven"

Qiu Yingying: "You're four years older than me, so you're pretty impressive."

Shen He: "It's alright. Let's exchange contact information. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Qiu Yingying took out her phone and the two added each other's contact information: "No need, you've already taken me home."

Shen He: "Of course, you treated me to dinner, I'll treat you next time."

Qiu Yingying said helplessly, "Alright then, I live in Joyful Song. Where do you live? Is it on your way?"

Shen He replied, "It's not far, and it's on my way. I'll take you home whenever I have time after get off work."

Qiu Yingying waved her hand: "That would be too much trouble for you. You seem to know Shanghai quite well."

Shen He insisted, "It's no trouble at all. It's not far. I'm from Shanghai, and my home happens to be not far from where you live, so I know where you are."

Qiu Yingying compromised: "Alright then!"

Shen He smiled faintly.

Seeing this, Qiu Yingying felt that Shen He's smile made him come alive, like ice and snow melting.

After dinner, they drove to Joyful Song. When they parked at the entrance, Shen He got out of the car and planned to walk Qiu Yingying home, but Qiu Yingying refused: "No need, you should go home early too. It's not far to the building, no need to see me off."

Shen He nodded: "Okay, then I'll watch you go back before I leave."

Qiu Yingying waved: "Goodbye"

Shen He thought to himself, "Goodbye, see you tomorrow." Only after he couldn't see Qiu Yingying did he turn around, drive back, and leave.

Qiu Yingying returned to 2202, poured herself a glass of water, and saw that Guan Guan and Sister Fan were already back. "Yingying, why are you so late today?" Guan Juer asked with concern.

Qiu Yingying put down her water glass and said, "I went to dinner with friends, so I came back a little late."

Fan Shengmei asked gossipily, "Friend? Is it a man or a woman?"

Guan Juer asked curiously, "Yes, is something going on?"

Qiu Yingying: "It's a man. You've all met him before. He's the one I bumped into when we were having dinner last time. Guan Guan, you know him. His name is Shen He. I met him in Nantong last time, and today at work, I found out that we work in the same office building."

Fan Shengmei exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it was him! You two are quite destined to meet. You've bumped into each other so many times, work in the same place, and even ate together. It seems like something's going on?"

Guan Juer exclaimed in delight, "Yes, Yingying, but you two are also a good match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, it's fitting."

Qiu Yingying: "I have some feelings for him now, but I'll let things take their course and take it slow."

Having only met a few times, it was only natural that he was attracted to her, after all, Shen He was handsome and had a great physique.

This is only natural; who doesn't like beautiful things and good-looking people?

Fan Shengmei: "Dating is fine, but girls should be a little reserved so that men will cherish them. You also need to consider his conditions, like what he does for a living?"

Qiu Yingying: "He and his friends run a law firm together. He's a local from Shanghai. He drove me back today."

Fan Shengmei said enviously, "That looks pretty good. You two are a good match."

Guan Juer agreed, "Yes, she seems quite polite, and her circumstances are good too. Congratulations, Yingying."

Qiu Yingying laughed and said, "Haha, it's not that time yet, let's take it slow." Back in her room, she checked her phone and found a WeChat message from Shen He asking if she had arrived home safely.

"Are you home yet?"

"I'm in my room, what about you?"

"I just got home and I'm about to wash up."

"Go quickly, wash up and go to bed early."

"Okay, I'll pick you up on my way to work tomorrow morning?"

"No need, I'll take my neighbor's car; it's on my way to work anyway."

"Okay then, let's go home together after get off work. Goodnight."

"Good night"

After finishing my cultivation, I went to sleep. In the morning, I took Andy's car to the company building and started working. Around noon, I received a message from Shen He inviting me to have lunch together.

Thinking that I had agreed yesterday, we had dinner together. After dinner, I took a nap and then went back to work. After get off work, I received a message from Shen He saying that he was waiting for me in the parking lot. I took the elevator down to the parking lot, saw Shen He, and then got into the car.

"Have you been waiting long? I just got off work," Qiu Yingying said apologetically.

Shen He: "No, I just arrived recently. Let's go eat together. What do you want to eat today?"

Qiu Yingying: "How about Thai food? Are you okay with that?"

Shen He said calmly, "Okay."

They drove to a Thai restaurant and chatted while eating the food. They talked about life and hobbies, and gradually became familiar with each other. There was a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere between them, and they understood each other without saying a word.

As Shen He looked at the person across from him speaking eloquently, he felt his heart pounding faster, realizing that he had fallen for her.

When I first met her, I thought she was a very pretty girl, and I had a different feeling about her. But then I wondered if I was just attracted to her looks, so I didn't ask for her contact information.

After meeting her a few more times, I realized it was fate that brought us together. I would occasionally think of her while working, so when we met for the fourth time downstairs at the company, I took the initiative to say hello. I was a little excited, so I waited for her early after get off work. Through our conversation, I discovered that I liked her in every way. My feelings changed from liking to liking. Seeing her always made me happy. I hope to see her every day and that she will be a part of my life from now on!

As Qiu Yingying spoke, she felt no one was saying anything. Looking at the person opposite her who was staring at her, she felt a little nervous. Looking at that handsome face with its distinct features and his intense gaze, she felt a little embarrassed: "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me without saying anything?"

Shen He snapped out of his reverie and said, "It's nothing, I just feel my heart racing when I see you. It might be a bit presumptuous of me to say this so suddenly, since we've only known each other for a short time, but I'm sincere, Yingying. Would you be willing to give me a chance?"

Qiu Yingying was a little nervous and didn't speak immediately.

Shen He said sincerely, "It's okay, there's no need to rush to answer me. Go back and think about it before you reply. I'll wait for you!"

After finishing our meal, we went back.
