After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

"Stars, stars."

The sound of crying filled Xie Xing's ears, along with the cold hum of the hospital's machines.

Xie Xing opened his eyes in a daze, under the oxygen mask.

Through my blurry vision, I saw my parents, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Upon seeing Xie Xing awake, the couple burst into tears.

Xie Xing's mother leaned against Xie's father's chest, revealing a smile of relief: "Finally awake."

Xie Xing blinked.

Looking at his parents' familiar faces, he finally realized something in his confused mind.

It seems like she's back?

She just came back like that?

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Xie Xing fell into a deep sleep again after having this thought in his mind.

……

One month later.

Xie Xing was finally discharged from the hospital.

Oh, I forgot to mention, her name in this world is also Xie Xing.

Eighteen-year-old Xie Xing is just about to enter university and embrace a bright future.

As Xie Xing stepped out of the hospital, he let out a breath and a smile appeared on his face.

She is free!

During this month, Xie Xing called out to the system countless times, but the system remained silent.

Her departure was so inexplicable; she always felt that there was something left undone in that world.

For example, what should we do about Jun Lanjin's threat, and the love curse on Luo Hanfeng and Jun Lanjin?

With no one to answer Xie Xing's questions, he could only keep them to himself.

Anyway, she's already back, and everything that happened in that world is just a dream, so there's no need to pursue it anymore.

She acted bravely and selflessly, saving the little girl. After that, she spent a whole year in the hospital. During that year, she received her college entrance exam results and was admitted to her ideal university.

Because of her selfless act, the school delayed her start of the semester by a year.

At the train station, Xie's parents looked at Xie Xing with teary eyes.

"I will never do such a foolish thing again."

"We just want you to live. As long as you live, everything is fine."

When Xie Xing was a child, he was fostered by his grandfather while his parents worked hard outside. When Xie Xing grew up and they earned money, they made up for all the love they hadn't given him before.

Xie's parents bought Xie Xing an apartment near the school for her convenience while studying.

Heaven knows how much Xie Xing missed his parents after returning from ancient times and witnessing the many disappointments in the book, driven by power, fame, and profit.

Now that they have to part again, Xie Xing's eyes also reddened.

She sniffed, picked up her suitcase, and said to Xie's parents, "I'll be back during summer vacation."

Mr. Xie looked reluctant, but still reminded him, "You absolutely mustn't date at school!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xie's mother nudged her, rolling her eyes: "The child is all grown up, what's wrong with dating?"

Xie Xing: "..."

She couldn't help laughing.

However, her parents probably don't know that she has actually been in a relationship before.

Thinking of Jun Lanjin.

Xie Xing was uncertain again.

Although they confessed their feelings to each other, kissed, held hands, and even slept in the same bed, their relationship was ultimately based on mutual exploitation, and a little affection had developed between them.

Moreover, recalling what Jun Lanjin said before he left...

Xie Xing couldn't help but sigh.

In truth, the completion of the mission was entirely due to Jun Lanjin's support from behind.

Otherwise, she might die right at the start.

Thinking of that devastatingly handsome man, Xie Xing thought that it would be difficult for him to fall in love in this lifetime.

Having eaten fine bran, it's really hard for them to eat pig feed again.

That's what they say, but Xie Xing quickly put that nightmarish transmigration journey out of his mind and threw himself into his university life.

Although he got into university, Xie Xing didn't feel that it was much easier than high school.

In addition, Xie Xingxue's major requires a lot of knowledge to fill in.

I work from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

That day, Xie Xing, with dark circles under his eyes, opened the door to his home like a wandering ghost.

The first thing you see is a man sitting on the sofa, dressed in ancient costume.

The man was still wearing the same moon-white brocade robe, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist and a small figurine made by Xie Xing hanging on the other side. His long hair was tied up with a jade crown. What caught Xie Xing's attention even more was that face that was so handsome it was inhuman and outrageous, a face that could cause countless screams as soon as he stepped out of this door.

Damn it?

Jun Lanjin?!

Xie Xing's previously sleepy eyes widened instantly.

Just as Jun Lanjin was about to raise his hand to greet Xie Xing, Xie Xing slammed the door shut as if he had seen a ghost.

After a second, open the door again.

Junlan Jin was still sitting on her sofa.

Xie Xing even stepped out of the room in disbelief and glanced at her room number.

It is indeed her house.

No!

No?

This guy...

No child...

Xie Xing's CPU exploded. She raised her hand and looked at Jun Lanjin in disbelief.

Then Jun Lanjin lazily and leisurely raised his hand and greeted Xie Xing: "Yo, Xing'er, long time no see, what's up...?"

Jun Lanjin looked Xie Xing up and down, then raised his handsome eyebrows and said in a pleasant voice, "You look haggard, like a completely different person?"

Xie Xing: "..."

How could I not look haggard?

Who could maintain their energy levels if they worked from 8 am to 10 pm?!

Xie Xing is currently experiencing a feeling of being alive but barely alive.

Furthermore, her current appearance is completely different from Xie Xing in ancient times.

Xie Xing, who can be described as comparable to the most beautiful woman in the book, is naturally beautiful.

However, in reality, Xie Xing, although she is also exquisite and beautiful, has a rather aloof appearance. In addition, the stress of school has taken its toll on her spirit, giving her a sense of decadence amidst her aloofness.

This is quite different from the charming and lovely Xie Xing that Jun Lanjin remembered.

Xie Xing took a while to react, then slammed the door shut and rushed to Jun Lanjin's side, exclaiming in shock, "You, you, you, how did you end up here?!"

Paper dolls!

A living, breathing paper doll!

Xie Xing was so shocked that his tongue almost tied itself in knots.

Jun Lanjin slowly slapped Xie Xing's hand away, which was pointing at him, and then casually said, "I came when I wanted to."

"Naturally, it was that thing inside your body that brought me here."

"system?!"

[Host.] The system voice, which had been silent for a long time, appeared before Xie Xing again.

Although it was the same cold, mechanical voice, Xie Xing could hear the system's exhaustion in its voice this time.

The system recounted everything that happened after Xie Xing left.

It turns out that after seeing so many unexpected events in this world, and even the original female lead being killed by Xie Yuze who was reborn, the main god simply decided to place the protagonist's halo on Jun Lanjin.

After all, no one is more suitable to be the protagonist than Jun Lanjin.

but--

Jun Lanjin refused.

He caused chaos and almost brought a perfectly good world to a standstill again.

Helpless, the system could only use his aura and popularity as a trade to fulfill Jun Lanjin's request to come to the world of Xie Xing.
