My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)

"Junior, you seem to be quite familiar with the 'god'?" Ji Bai asked casually.

“Yes, Zhengxi is my cousin’s friend.” Shen Nuan’s eyes lit up when she mentioned He Zhengxi, which Ji Bai noticed, and his peach blossom eyes dimmed.

"Junior, what do you think of me?" Ji Bai suddenly asked.

"..." Shen Nuan looked him up and down carefully, but Ji Bai didn't care and let her scan him, with a charming smile on his lips.

Perfect figure! Perfect looks! Character... unknown.

"Mmm, not bad." Shen Nuan nodded politely, after all, she didn't know him very well.

"Then we..." Ji Bai was about to confess his feelings under Shen Nuan's questioning gaze.

"Shen Nuan!" A man stood not far away, his deep voice clearly reaching the ears. His expression was inscrutable, and his eyes, as he looked at Ji Bai, held a hint of something unsettling, which sent chills down one's spine.

Ji Bai ignored him, still laughing carefree and naturally charming.

"Huh?" Shen Nuan turned her head, "Brother Zhengxi..."

"Come here." He Zhengxi beckoned to her.

Shen Nuan: ...

"Senior Ji, I'm going first!" Although she was a little speechless at his summoning method, she still obediently went over because of the sharp look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Shen Nuan asked, looking up.

"...Didn't I tell you not to get too close to that man? You're making people uneasy. How am I supposed to explain this to your brother?" He Zhengxi lectured her like an elder, leaving Shen Nuan stunned.

Before Shen Nuan could react, He Zhengxi's face showed a fleeting awkwardness, and he left with a sullen expression.

Even he himself didn't know why he had inexplicable emotions when he saw Shen Nuan with that man; it seemed like he was angry or uncomfortable at the same time.

Shen Nuan only then realized that He Zhengxi's words had left her unsure how to react.

As for Shen Ye...

She looked at Shen Ye, who was smiling broadly and chatting animatedly with Qiao Chu beside him, and felt a deep sense of helplessness.

"Xiao Shen, Chu Chu!" Shen Nuan walked over and greeted the two of them.

Qiao Chu nodded to her, and the look in her eyes was no longer as complicated as before, but rather showed more of the sincerity between friends.

"Hey? Nuannuan? When did you arrive?" Shen Ye asked.

"..." Well, so you've forgotten about your sister now that you have a wife...

"I've been here for a while," Shen Nuan said helplessly.

"You guys..." Qiao Chu asked in confusion.

“We are cousins,” Shen Nuan smiled, answering Qiao Chu’s question.

"Xiao Shen, why do you always chat with the girls in my guild?" Shen Nuan walked up and casually put her hand on Qiao Chu's shoulder, teasingly.

Shen Ye blushed slightly, gave a thick-skinned smile without saying a word, but kept his eyes fixed on Qiao Chu, his meaning clear.

Qiao Chu blushed deeply when he looked into her bright, starry eyes.

Shen Nuan left silently; she wouldn't be a third wheel!

The player meet-up lasted until the afternoon. Everyone had lunch together, chatted for a while, and strengthened their "revolutionary friendship." There were no real-world interests involved; everyone discussed only what was happening in the virtual world of the game. Some jokes occasionally caused bursts of laughter, bringing genuine joy.

In the afternoon, Shen Nuan declined Ji Bai's dinner invitation and instead waited for He Zhengxi and Shen Ye at the door.

Shen Ye came out of the hotel a short while later.

"Nuan Nuan, have you been waiting long?" Shen Ye walked over quickly.

"Thank goodness, where's Zhengxi?" Shen Nuan peeked behind him.

"Oh, Zhengxi~ He's enjoying this unexpected stroke of good fortune right now~" Shen Ye smiled ambiguously and lewdly.

Shen Nuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Xiao Shen, do you want Chu Chu's phone number?" Shen Nuan suddenly remembered something and smiled mysteriously.

"Yes!" Shen Ye answered excitedly without pausing for a moment.

……

ten minutes later.

He Zhengxi strode ahead, followed by a beautiful woman with a charming and alluring air about her.

He remained cold and indifferent, but he couldn't resist her passionate advances. The woman, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, followed him with some difficulty. Regardless of whether the man paid attention to her, she continued to chat and laugh with a charming smile, her eyes revealing a hint of determination that she was trying hard to conceal.

The woman beside him was still noisy, and he frowned in annoyance, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Nuan smiling at him at the hotel entrance, as soft and cute as ever.

Shen Nuan smiled and walked forward, heading straight for He Zhengxi. Her smiling eyes reflected only him.

“Brother Zhengxi, I’ve been waiting for you for so long~” Shen Nuan took his arm, her petite figure leaning against him, her head gently nuzzling against him, looking up at him with complete dependence.

He Zhengxi felt the softness beside him and was momentarily stunned. Then he saw Shen Nuan's face with a hint of coquettishness and her suggestive, playful wink.

"Good girl~ I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently rubbed Shen Nuan's head with a doting look in his eyes. The soft hair was smooth to the touch, and he couldn't help but stroke it a few more times. His dark eyes softened, and his gentle aura was completely different from before, which made the woman beside him's exquisitely made-up face turn gloomy.

"Let's go home!" Shen Nuan bit her lip and shook his hand, her voice trailing off slightly as she pleaded.

He Zhengxi gave her a deep look. Her coquettish manner stirred a strange feeling in his heart, a slight itch.

He withdrew the doting look from his eyes, then nodded slightly to the woman beside him whose face was slightly distorted and whose eyes held undisguised jealousy as she looked at Shen Nuan. Then he embraced Shen Nuan and left, his movements practiced, as if they were intimate lovers who had rehearsed many times.

The two hadn't walked far when Shen Nuan suddenly clung to He Zhengxi's arm and looked back.

"Phew~ She's gone!" Shen Nuan left He Zhengxi's embrace, but just as she was about to leave, he pulled her closer and pulled her back into his arms.

Shen Nuan looked up at him in confusion.

He Zhengxi then realized what was happening and let go of her hand. Shen Nuan took the opportunity to leave his embrace. He felt a little lost and clenched his fist, as if he wanted to grasp something.

"I helped you get rid of that woman, how are you going to thank me?" Shen Nuan rubbed her empty stomach. "I'm so hungry~"

"...Let me treat you to dinner."

"Okay!"

Where is Shen Ye?

"Xiao Shen is busy finding me a good sister-in-law!"

"..."

In the restaurant, Shen Nuan ate heartily, not caring at all about her image.

"Brother Zhengxi, you don't know, I barely ate anything just now in order to maintain my image as the guild leader in front of the other guild members!" Shen Nuan complained as she swallowed the last bite of food.

He Zhengxi listened quietly to the scene, glanced at the empty plates on the table, his lips twitched slightly, and then saw Shen Nuan finally "finish the battle" and hand her a napkin and a glass of water.

Shen Nuan naturally took it, wiped her mouth, drank some water, and then stared at He Zhengxi with her big, expectant eyes.

His eyelids twitched at that look, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"By the way, Zhengxi, who was that beautiful woman who was with you today? You're quite the lucky one~" Shen Nuan smiled ambiguously. Perhaps because she had eaten her fill, her face was even more rosy, and under the light, her bright eyes and white teeth were even more prominent.

He Zhengxi pursed his lips and replied, "I don't know him."

He truly didn't know that all he could think about in the meeting room was Shen Nuan smiling happily at another man, and whenever he thought about it, an uncomfortable feeling would well up inside him.

"Tch~" Shen Nuan clearly didn't believe her, her eyes full of "I understand, you don't need to explain."

"Have you finished eating? If you're done, let's go!" After saying that, He Zhengxi got up and walked towards the service counter to pay the bill before Shen Nuan could react.

Shen Nuan chuckled as she watched He Zhengxi become visibly agitated, feeling awkward again, but she still obediently followed him.

He Zhengxi drove her home and gentlemanly opened the car door for her.

"Thank you!" Shen Nuan said politely.

"Hmm..." He nodded.

"Xiao Nuan?" A familiar female voice rang out.

Shen Nuan's smile froze instantly, and she slowly turned her head as if it would take an eternity.

A smile returned to her face: "Mom..."

Shen Nuan's home, living room.

"How old is Xiao He? What is he doing now? You..." Mrs. Shen asked with a smile, while Mr. Shen sat to the side, observing him without making a sound, with a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"Mom..." Shen Nuan interrupted her series of questions and smiled apologetically at He Zhengxi.

He Zhengxi said he was fine, lowered his eyes slightly, and completely withdrew his aura, showing his respect for the two elders.

“I’m twenty-eight this year, and I now own my own company,” He Zhengxi answered honestly.

"What a promising young man!" praised Mrs. Shen, her eyes full of smiles as she looked at He Zhengxi.

Is his charm truly captivating to all ages? Completely unable to get a word in edgewise, Shen Nuan idly fiddled with her fingers…

Seeing that it was already dark outside, Shen Nuan interrupted her mother, who was chatting happily, "Mom, it's late. Other people have to go to work tomorrow..."

Mrs. Shen glared at her with displeasure, then turned to He Zhengxi with a bright smile: "Little He, come and play often in the future!"

Mr. Shen nodded in agreement.

He Zhengxi miraculously replied, "Yes, definitely!"

Meeting Shen Nuan's surprised gaze, he softened his eyes.

Shen Nuan was pushed by her mother to see He Zhengxi downstairs.

"Brother Zhengxi, please don't take my mother's words to heart..." Shen Nuan said shyly.

“It’s alright, your mother is fine, your home… is very warm.” He Zhengxi suddenly said, his voice low and husky in the quiet night, his deep voice captivating.

"Ok?"

“...My parents were together for work, so they rarely saw each other. They divorced shortly after I was born. My mother later remarried, had another child, and we didn’t see each other often anymore...My father didn’t really care about me…” he suddenly began to recount, revealing some past events on the most thought-provoking night.

Shen Nuan stopped walking at some point and looked at He Zhengxi walking ahead. He was still tall, his tall shadow stretched long by the streetlights. He lowered his head slightly, and his thin back looked extremely lonely and desolate, which made people feel sad for no reason.

"He Zhengxi!" Shen Nuan called out.

"What?" He turned his head.

Shen Nuan rushed over and hugged him, tilting her head up from his chest and looking at him with her big, wet eyes: "My mom said that a warm hug can solve everything when you're sad! Are you feeling better?"

He Zhengxi was taken aback, then lowered his head and chuckled softly.

Shen Nuan stared at his increasingly handsome and gentle features, completely mesmerized, her face filled with infatuation.

A smile still lingered on his lips, his eyes clear and bright. Looking at the dazed little woman in his arms, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

"Silly girl..."

Just as Shen Nuan's mind went blank again, the streetlights above her head suddenly flickered a few times and then went out, one after another.

Shen Nuan suddenly remembered something and was about to say something to He Zhengxi when she felt a familiar, strong arm around her waist and breath around her neck.

Sigh...

……
