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

He Yimei spent her university years in a busy schedule. By the time she graduated, her company had grown to a large size, encompassing many businesses.

He Yimei has officially started her domineering CEO mode.

For the past two years since graduation, my daily routine has consisted of going to work, eating, and sleeping after work.

I often go out for business dinners and need to drink. I just finished one tonight and drank quite a bit, so I'm a little tipsy.

As I came out of the restroom, I bumped into He Yichen, who was just coming out of the private room and heading to the restroom.

"Brother, you're eating here too?" He Yimei asked.

He Yichen looked at He Yimei, who was dressed in a professional suit dress, with her long hair curled into big waves and exquisite makeup, and was becoming more and more mature and charming.

"Have you been drinking? Shall I take you home?" He Yichen looked at her and said with a deep gaze.

He Yimei wanted to refuse, but He Yichen said directly, "I'm worried about you going back alone."

The current He Yichen is no longer as cautious as before, and is much bolder towards He Yimei.

He Yimei: "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, He Yichen turned around and went into the private room, saying to the people in the room, "Excuse me, I have some personal matters to attend to. You can continue eating. It's on me today. I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he went out to pay the bill and left with He Yimei.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, He Yichen drove He Yimei home.

He Yimei's car will be picked up by someone tomorrow.

Inside the private room, Lao Yuan, one of the partners at Yuan Xianghe Law Firm, asked, "Why did Yi Chen suddenly leave?"

Xiang Heng: "Maybe he saw someone he knew and left because he had something to do."

I felt in my heart that it must be He Yimei, otherwise Yichen wouldn't have left so early.

"Then let's continue eating." Old Yuan thought for a moment, then realized he must have something to do.

Just like in the storyline, He Yichen, Xiang Heng, and Lao Yuan jointly opened the Yuan Xiang He Law Firm, only a little earlier than in the storyline, starting in their junior year of college, and it has been several years now.

He Yichen looked at the person in the passenger seat: "Do you have a business dinner today?"

"Hmm, let's discuss a collaboration." He Yimei closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

He Yichen: "Drink less next time. If you've really had too much, call me and I'll come pick you up."

He Yimei opened her eyes and glanced at him: "It's okay, no need to trouble you. I can call a designated driver. Besides, I don't always drink a lot. I can hold my liquor pretty well."

He Yichen's eyes darkened at her rejection: "I'm worried about your safety, but I don't find it troublesome."

Seeing his stubbornness, He Yimei said, "Fine, I'll call you if I really drink too much."

He Yichen felt a little better: "Okay, you should get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."

He Yimei closed her eyes, but in her mind she called out to Xiao Qi.

"Xiao Qi, don't you think there's something wrong with him?"

"Host, there isn't anything there?"

He Yimei: "Don't you think he's strange? He insisted that I contact him after I had been drinking."

Xiao Qi: "Maybe he treats you like a younger sister, so he cares about you and is worried about you."

He Yimei thought about it and realized that it was possible, and that she was probably overthinking it.

In recent years, I've been busy and know he probably has a girlfriend, so I rarely bother or bother him.

I feel a little dizzy, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'll take a nap.

When they arrived at the apartment building, He Yichen called her softly, but there was no response; she must have been asleep.

In the dimly lit car, He Yichen looked at He Yimei with loving eyes.

His gaze was so intense it seemed to solidify, settling on her face, first her curled eyelashes, then her nose, and finally her moist lips.

Only at this moment could He Yichen look at her without restraint or concealment.

After watching for a long time, He Yichen finally got out of the car, opened the door on the other side, bent down, picked her up, took her bag, and walked into the apartment building.

After taking only two steps, He Yimei woke up: "I fell asleep? Put me down, brother, I can walk by myself."

Upon hearing this, He Yichen put her down, saying, "I'm supporting you so you don't fall."

He couldn't bear to take his hands off her, somewhat lingering on her warmth.

He took her arm and led her to the elevator, saying, "I'll take you up."

He Yimei was a little confused, but she wanted to sleep, so she didn't refuse his offer to take her upstairs.

Upon reaching the twentieth floor, the entrance leads to a large, single-level apartment, which He Yimei bought during her senior year of college; it has an area of ​​200 square meters.

She originally wanted to bring her parents to live with her, but neither of them wanted to leave home and they hadn't retired yet, so they would only visit her occasionally for a few days.

The entire house is designed and decorated in a modern, light luxury style, with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The master bedroom has a balcony, a bathroom and a walk-in closet, as well as two guest rooms for family members to stay in, and a study.

With its open kitchen and bar, the house looks spacious and bright overall.

He Yichen helped her sit on the sofa, poured her a glass of water, and then went into the kitchen to get the available ingredients to make a hangover soup.

He Yimei got up from the sofa and went into the room to take a shower and remove her makeup.

I went out into the living room, still damp from washing my hair and showering.

He Yichen looked at the person wearing a bathrobe: "You're done washing up. Come and drink this hangover soup."

He Yimei took it and drank it slowly.

Seeing that her hair was still wet, He Yichen went to get a hairdryer to dry it for her.

A few years ago, He Yimei had just bought a house and her whole family came to Wenju for a housewarming party. They stayed here for one night and probably knew where the hairdryer was.

He Yimei felt the touch on her head, her body stiffened for a moment, and that strange feeling returned.

He Yichen noticed her stiffness, pretended not to notice, and continued to blow-dry her hair.

"Xiao Qi, do you think someone would blow-dry your sister's hair? Especially since she's not even a biological sister."

Xiao Qi also felt something was off: "I'll go check it out."

Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you.

After his hair was dried, He Yichen said, "You should get some rest. I'm going back now."

He Yimei nodded: "Thank you, brother. I'll see you to the door."

He Yichen: "Alright, you can go back now. Close the door, I'm leaving."

He Yimei closed the door, walked back, and sat down on the sofa to think.

Xiao Qi just returned: "Host, I've discovered that the male and female leads aren't following the plot. The female lead is currently abroad, and there's no relationship between the male lead and her."

He Yimei asked in surprise, "What? Weren't they together before?"

Xiao Qi: "No, we've only met a few times. After I found out that the male lead told the female lead that he had someone he liked, the female lead stopped contacting him."

He Yimei: "I was wondering why I hadn't heard He Yichen mention his girlfriend before. I thought he was just keeping it from me."

Xiao Qi: "Host, what's going on now?"

He Yimei recalled He Yichen's strange behavior: "Do you think he might have feelings for me?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. He seems to treat you differently. He himself said before that he had someone he liked, and there hasn't been anyone else around him in the past few years."

He Yimei: "I've always treated the male lead like an older brother. How am I supposed to get along with him now that things are developing like this?"

Xiao Qi: "Let's just let things take their course and see how things go."

He Yimei: "Then I'll pretend I don't know and avoid contact to avoid embarrassment."

Xiao Qi: "It's okay if you feel awkward."

Back home, He Yichen poured himself a glass of wine and looked out at the night view.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to control my behavior towards her, and I even want to tell her directly.

However, he still harbored some reservations. Love breeds fear, and even though he was no longer as afraid of being discovered as he once was, he was still afraid of her leaving him.
