Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

The bus took another two hours to reach its destination. Ye Qinqin got off the bus and wanted to exchange contact information, but the jade pendant hadn't lit up the whole way. Xu Jiaojiao was a little disappointed, so she said to Ye Qinqin, "If we meet again, let's add each other."

Ye Qinqin asked Xu Jiaojiao nervously, "What if we don't run into them?"

"That means they were destined to meet but not to be together."

Where are you going next?

"I'm not telling you." With that, Xu Jiaojiao picked up her schoolbag and left.

Ye Qinqin reached out Er Kang's hand to stop her, "Miss, Miss," but Xu Jiaojiao didn't turn around and skipped away.

It wasn't that Xu Jiaojiao had watched too many idol dramas; it was that she genuinely didn't want to have too much to do with Ye Qinqin. She had already repaid the favor of switching seats by buying water, and even if it was interesting, it couldn't stop her from going to see A Liang. People with different paths shouldn't work together.

They thought they wouldn't meet again after this, but two days later, they met again on the bus to City C. They sat together again, and Xu Jiaojiao was shocked this time. "Are you following me? I'll call the police!"

Ye Qinqin spread her hands and said, "I admit you are very beautiful and attractive, but I will not do anything illegal."

Meeting you three times proves we're destined to be together. It's fate. Let's exchange contact information." With that, Ye Qinqin handed over her phone.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a long time, and then saved her phone number. "Don't call me unless it's important."

Ye Qinqin smiled and took the phone back. "Okay."

The two still sat together, with Xu Jiaojiao sitting by the window.

The shuttle bus rides over the past few days have gradually helped Xu Jiaojiao get used to it. She fell asleep by the window not long after sitting on the bus. Ye Qinqin was afraid that Xu Jiaojiao would bump her head, so she put her hand on the glass. With a bump, Xu Jiaojiao leaned directly on Ye Qinqin's shoulder.

At this moment, Ye Qinqin even softened her breathing, afraid of waking the person in her arms.

Her eyelashes, damp with sunlight, folded together like tiny fans. Ye Qinqin dared not make any large movements, afraid that the person on her shoulder would wake up, so she could only quietly pull the carriage curtain closed.

Xu Jiaojiao slept the whole way, while Ye Qinqin didn't dare to move. Recalling her previous rejections, Ye Qinqin unscrewed the mineral water bottle, poured some water into the cap, and then slowly poured the water from the cap down her shoulder, making it look like Xu Jiaojiao was drooling.

After doing all this, Ye Qinqin tightened the bottle cap with satisfaction, held Xu Jiaojiao's head with her hand, and pressed Xu Jiaojiao's head tightly against her shoulder.

Since ancient times, people's hearts cannot be retained; only tricks can win people's hearts.

After Xu Jiaojiao woke up, she looked at Ye Qinqin's clothes and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't do this at home."

Ye Qinqin pretended to be magnanimous and said, "It's okay, I'll just go back and wash up."

Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao felt embarrassed and said reservedly, "Why don't you give me the clothes? I'll give them back to you after I wash them."

Ye Qinqin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner then."

"Okay, I'll call you after I'm done showering."

"Then I will wait for good news."

Returning clothes and treating each other to meals, Xu Jiaojiao and Ye Qinqin gradually became acquainted.

Xu Jiaojiao wanted to find ancient architecture, so Ye Qinqin looked at a map and searched for all the scenic spots in City C. For those that required tickets, they paid to enter; for those that didn't, Ye Qinqin took Xu Jiaojiao to queue up and even took many photos of her with her feature phone.

The pendant never lit up, and Xu Jiaojiao was a little disappointed. As the days passed, Xu Jiaojiao seemed to have forgotten what Wang Youliang looked like. If only she had a cell phone earlier, she could have used it to record A Liang's face and miss him through the photos while he was away.

Ye Qinqin noticed that Xu Jiaojiao was lost in thought, so she leaned closer and asked, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just miss my grandpa a little."

After the two became familiar with each other, Ye Qinqin asked Xu Jiaojiao about the reason she had given back then. Xu Jiaojiao explained that it was because she was afraid that bad people would hurt her and it was a way to avoid being approached by strangers. Ye Qinqin praised Xu Jiaojiao for being smart and decided to go back with Xu Jiaojiao to pay respects to Xu Jiaojiao's grandfather in the future.

After arriving in City C, Xu Jiaojiao stayed in a run-down hotel. Ye Qinqin suggested that the two of them could rent a house together, which would not require ID cards and would save a lot of money each month. Xu Jiaojiao hesitated for a long time but still agreed, only clutching her schoolbag tightly.

The shared apartment was a large and spacious two-bedroom, one-living-room building. Ye Qinqin paid most of the rent, while Xu Jiaojiao only paid a small portion, because if Xu Jiaojiao did not find Wang Youliang in City C, she would continue her journey.

This was the first time Xu Jiaojiao had ever stepped into an apartment building. There was no mud here; it was spacious and bright. The bed wasn't a heated kang bed, but a soft mattress. The stove wasn't made of firewood, but a gas cylinder. She had only ever seen all of this in her dreams.

Ye Qinqin was self-disciplined and polite every day. During her days off, she would accompany Xu Jiaojiao to look for ancient buildings. When she came back in the evening, she would cook dinner for Xu Jiaojiao, while Xu Jiaojiao would tidy up the house. After watching TV in the living room for a while, the two of them would go back to their respective rooms to sleep.

Xu Jiaojiao felt that she had met a very good person. Compared with A Liang, the two had their own merits. A Liang was domineering yet gentle, while Ye Qinqin was gentle, gentlemanly, and polite. Both of them made her heart flutter.

It was a snowy day. Xu Jiaojiao and Ye Qinqin were warming wine around a small stove, watching the snow and eating roasted oranges. Somehow, they both got drunk and woke up in the same bed.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Ye Qinqin beside her in disbelief, then kicked him. The pendant was torn off somewhere. Xu Jiaojiao cried. She was no longer pure. She wondered if A Liang would despise her. It was all Ye Qinqin's fault. If it weren't for him, how could they be lying in the same bed?

When Ye Qinqin woke up, she saw Xu Jiaojiao crying. Without even getting dressed, she quickly comforted her, "Jiaojiao, don't cry. It's all my fault. I'm a beast. I promise I'll take responsibility for you."

"Jiaojiao, if you're unhappy, hit me." As she spoke, Ye Qinqin grabbed Xu Jiaojiao's hand and slapped herself across the face.

Xu Jiaojiao pulled her hand away and just kept crying. She couldn't bring herself to do it. She was conflicted. On one hand, she felt sorry for Wang Youliang, but on the other hand, she felt that things were fine as they were. She didn't know what to do next.

Ye Qinqin hugged Xu Jiaojiao and kissed away the tears at the corners of Xu Jiaojiao's eyes. Xu Jiaojiao tried to push her away but couldn't, and was instead pushed back onto the bed, finally immersed in Ye Qinqin's dense kisses...

The pendant was never found again. Xu Jiaojiao occasionally wanted to look for it, but Ye Qinqin always made excuses to brush her off. The two lived a blissful life for a while.

Wang Youliang is slowly fading from Xu Jiaojiao's memory. Ye Qinqin still takes Xu Jiaojiao to find ancient buildings, but Xu Jiaojiao's attention is no longer on the pendant, but more on Ye Qinqin. Seeing Ye Qinqin working hard for her, Xu Jiaojiao is really moved.
