Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

"My parents always thought I would grow old alone. Now that I finally have a girl I like, and she likes me too, why would they do something like breaking us up?" Mu Chen said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. He couldn't understand why his parents would think this way when he was only an adult and far from the legal marriage age.

Jiang Lan smiled inwardly, thinking, "Just as I thought! No one knows a son better than his mother. It turns out that Mu Chen's parents had noticed long ago that he was destined to grow old alone. In the end, their attempts to persuade him failed, so they could only wish that their son would choose an ordinary major in his next life, live an ordinary life, get married and have children, and have a happy and fulfilling life."

Around 8 p.m., the two came out of the movie theater. When they parted, Jiang Lan couldn't help but ask Mu Chen which university he had chosen and what his major was.

"I thought you wouldn't ask this, girlfriend," Mu Chen said with a smile, stroking his girlfriend's hair, his voice filled with joy.

"I was waiting for you to tell me willingly, but you kept it to yourself, making me guess for so long," Jiang Lan said angrily, somewhat unconvinced. What kind of boyfriend is this? If she didn't ask, couldn't he just tell her on his own initiative?

It's been over a month now, and thankfully she's very tolerant (busy), otherwise she would have gotten sick from the stress.

"Which university does my girlfriend want me to apply to? What major?" Mu Chen looked at her puffed-up little face and couldn't help but pinch it; it was so soft, just like hers.

"Isn't it a bit too late to ask me now?" Jiang Lan slapped his hand away and rubbed her face. Her skin was too delicate; it wouldn't look good if she pinched it until it swelled up.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. I chose University A, which is next to our school, and I ended up choosing economics as my major. I thought about it for a long time before making that choice."

"I think I'm a man, and I want to give you a better life in the future. I don't want people to say you were blind to have chosen such an incompetent man. I don't want you to regret your choice." Mu Chen looked into Jiang Lan's eyes and said, word by word.

Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment. Although she guessed that Mu Chen must have changed his major, otherwise Ping An would not have been so quiet and hadn't mentioned it at all.

I just didn't expect Mu Chen to choose economics for this.

"Will you regret it?"

After all, in his previous life, he dedicated his entire life to the laboratory. If it weren't for an extreme passion, who could focus on doing only one thing for a lifetime?

Mu Chen knew the regret she meant, so he gently pulled her into his arms and said with a firm look in his eyes, "Having you in this life is enough."

Jiang Lan leaned against Mu Chen's chest, listening to his heartbeat. She had a sense of déjà vu, but couldn't quite place it.

Two days before the start of the semester, Jiang Lan received a call from Li Shan, inviting her out for afternoon tea.

Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised when she received the call. After all, this person hadn't replied to many of her messages all summer, let alone met her. His sudden appearance really made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The moment Jiang Lan saw Li Shan at the coffee shop, she rubbed her eyes hard and opened her mouth wide in disbelief. Was this really the Li Shan she knew?

"Xiao Lanzi, come here! I've already ordered for you." Li Shan waved to Jiang Lan and pointed to the coffee opposite her.

Jiang Lan then realized that the tanned beauty in front of her was her good friend Li Shan. "Shan Shan, you didn't go on vacation to Africa this summer, did you?" How did you get so tanned? She almost didn't recognize her.

"Stop talking, it's all tears. It's all Qi Zi's fault. He insisted I go on his graduation trip with him, and now I've gotten so tanned. I don't even know if I'll ever recover!" Li Shan said angrily, looking at her face, which was several shades darker, in the mirror. Although she was a bit carefree, she was still a girl and had a love for beauty. She felt bad looking at herself like this, let alone wanting to find a boyfriend.

“It’s not like we came back from the resort and you two went there and have been playing until now.” Jiang Lan felt more and more likely the more she talked about it. She said that the reason why she couldn’t contact Li Shan from time to time after returning from the resort was that she had been kidnapped by that guy Qi Zhibin.

Li Shan nodded, feeling a little regretful. Why had she softened her heart and agreed? In just over a month, she had accompanied him on a bicycle ride across four provinces, enduring dozens of days of sun exposure. How could she not get tanned?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I'll be with you. We can definitely get her back to her former beauty, even more so than before." Jiang Lan hugged her and comforted her, secretly planning that if he diluted the spiritual spring water and had Shan Shan drink it a few more times, she should be able to regain her fair complexion!

"So what if it's bad news! Anyway, Xiao Qi said that if I can't find a boyfriend after graduating from university, he'll marry me." Li Shan said gloatingly, looking as if she had gotten a good deal, which made Jiang Lan feel a little uncomfortable.

Upon hearing Li Shan's words, Jiang Lan instantly understood. It turned out that Qi Zhibin was afraid that Li Shan would be taken away if he wasn't there, so he deliberately made Li Shan accompany him on a cycling trip to get a tan, which was safe.

No wonder Qi Zhibin's eyes were always on Shanshan whenever they went out. She had previously thought that their relationship was just the brotherhood that Shanshan had mentioned, and hadn't thought much about it.

It turns out that everything was traceable; she had simply been misled by Shan Shan.

That's why whenever someone confesses their feelings to Shanshan, Qi Zhibin is always the first to jump in and ruin the situation. He'll then dig up every detail about the guy's family history, find out his flaws, and then use those flaws to curry favor with Shanshan.

Such an obvious tactic, without any attempt at concealment. Right now, perhaps only Shanshan, the one directly involved, is unaware of it!

Jiang Lan: "Hehe, that's not bad either! You two grew up together and know each other very well. He also dotes on you. If you can really be together, it would be a good choice."

“But I’ve always considered him a brother!” Li Shan was confused.

"And what about him? Does he think the same way?" Jiang Lan asked with a half-smile. She didn't want to point it out, but one of them was silent and the other didn't understand, so she was really worried about them.

Qi Zhibin is really something else; the two of them went out alone for more than a month, but he didn't dare to confess his feelings.

“He must think the same way I do, that he treats me like a brother, and that he married me because of brotherhood. You’re overthinking it, Xiao Lanzi.” Li Shan was feeling uneasy, but she still stubbornly insisted.

Seeing Li Shan's reaction, Jiang Lan smiled and didn't refute her. Whether it was brotherhood or not, they would know in time.

The conversation between the two eventually turned to her and Mu Chen.

For the past month or so, Li Shan has been cycling over 100 kilometers every day, and she's exhausted. She hasn't had time to chat with anyone, so naturally she doesn't know which university Mu Chen applied to.

Jiang Lan told her everything she knew.
