Quick Transmigration: The Villain is Destiny, the Protagonist Takes a Backseat

Ji Qiuzhe tentatively asked, "How about I blow on it for you again?"

Shen Liuyun could not refuse his enthusiasm.

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ji Qiuzhe plugged in the hair dryer, and the two stood together in the cramped bathroom.

There is a huge half-length mirror on the bathroom wall.

Shen Liuyun was facing the mirror, and she could clearly see the man behind her looking down and carefully using his fingers to blow-dry her hair.

He seemed very tall, a full half-head taller than Shen Liuyun, who was 1.8 meters tall.

Even under the harsh overhead lighting of the bathroom, his handsome face remained remarkably resilient, with hardly a single wrinkle visible.

Shen Liuyun watched silently, feeling the other person's fingertips occasionally glide lightly across his scalp, bringing a slight shiver.

He squinted his eyes comfortably.

He hated being touched by strange men, but this person was an exception.

Even he himself couldn't understand why.

After drying his hair, Ji Qiuzhe looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction before unplugging the hairdryer.

After a busy day, it was already quite late.

The two lay down.

Being with his lover was more effective than taking sleeping pills, and Ji Qiuzhe quickly fell into a deep sleep.

On the contrary to him.

Lying in his hospital bed, Shen Liuyun couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

When he closed his eyes, he thought of Ji Qiuzhe, who was sleeping on the cot next to him. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but check to see if the other person was sleeping well.

Finally, he simply turned over and lay on his side, using the light coming in from the corridor to examine the sleeping man.

When people fall asleep, they subconsciously face the side they feel safer in.

He was sleeping facing his own side.

He sleeps so soundly, is it because he subconsciously feels that he is the one who puts his mind at ease?

After a while of these random thoughts, Shen Liuyun finally drifted off to sleep.

the next day.

Shen Liuyun was woken up by a nurse during a routine check-up.

"Shen Liuyun, after you finish breakfast, go to the nurses' station to have your temperature checked. If everything is fine, you can be discharged."

He propped himself up, exhausted, but when he didn't see Ji Qiuzhe, a sense of loss welled up inside him.

Fortunately, a short while later, the man walked in, looking energetic and carrying a bag of breakfast.

Seeing him wake up, Ji Qiuzhe smiled brightly, his face clear and bright, carrying the fragrance of the morning grass and the dampness of the earth.

Good morning! I bought you some steamed buns and sweet soy milk. I wonder if you'll like them?

Shen Liuyun smiled subconsciously, but then quickly composed herself to avoid looking foolish.

"like."

After breakfast, Ji Qiuzhe accompanied Shen Liuyun to have her temperature checked. The nurse said everything was normal and she could be discharged.

that moment.

Shen Liuyun's first thought wasn't that he could finally escape this place he hated, but rather that he had to separate from Ji Qiuzhe.

For some reason, he began to feel reluctant to part with it.

The two days he spent in the hospital felt like a dream. He knew it was all an illusion, but he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

He had to admit that he wanted to see this person again.

When he gets home, he'll be busy with commercial performances, music festivals, and other activities. Even though they're neighbors, it will probably be difficult for him to see this person.

Most importantly, he had absolutely no reason to stay in touch with Ji Qiuzhe.

Despite their reluctance, they were discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The apartment building where the two lived had two units per floor, and Ji Qiuzhe and Shen Liuyun's doors were separated only by a wall about three meters long.

They stood in front of their respective homes, saying their final goodbyes.

"You can contact me anytime if you need anything. Take good care of yourself," Ji Qiuzhe instructed.

Listening to the man's caring words, Shen Liuyun felt a pang of sadness; the scene resembled a couple breaking up.

He took out his phone and transferred some money to Ji Qiuzhe.

"Ding-dong-"

A new message notification appeared. Ji Qiuzhe clicked into the chat box and was amused by the glaringly red transfer information displayed on it.

"What do you mean, Shen Liuyun? Are you treating me like a caregiver?"

For the first time, Shen Liuyun felt that being called by his full name like that could make him so flustered.

He hesitated, trying to explain, "I didn't..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Ji Qiuzhe gave a self-deprecating laugh, the light in his eyes dimmed, leaving only an unfathomable darkness. "I thought we were already friends, but I was wrong."

Shen Liuyun felt a jolt in her heart.

"No, don't overthink it. I just felt you were working too hard and taking care of me. I really didn't mean to insult you by offering you money..."

He speaks incoherently.

Ji Qiuzhe only wanted to get Shen Liuyun to reveal his true feelings, but he didn't expect to provoke her.

"Do you consider me a friend, Shen Liuyun?"

With a solemn expression, he earnestly sought an answer in the empty corridor where only the two of them stood.

“Of course,” Shen Liuyun said without hesitation. “We are friends.”

"Really?"

“Really,” he said firmly.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the light in Ji Qiuzhe's eyes shone brightly again.

Shen Liuyun inexplicably thought of Ding Xiaoshi's fat Samoyed. Every time he visited, it would look at him with such a surprised expression and rush into his arms, begging to be petted.

This person is just as adorable as it.

Ji Qiuzhe revealed a barely perceptible smug smile, and pressed his advantage, "Then come to my house for lunch!"

"Um?"

Shen Liuyun hadn't expected him to extend this invitation.

"is it not OK?"

Seeing that the man's mood had visibly dropped, Shen Liuyun immediately said, "Okay."

They parted ways at the door and went into their respective homes.

Ji Qiuzhe put down his things and went to the supermarket in a good mood. He bought a bunch of dishes that he thought Shen Liuyun would love to eat, and also bought some fruit.

When all the dishes were almost ready at noon, he sent a message to Shen Liuyun to come over for lunch.

The doorbell was rang quickly.

Ji Qiuzhe took off his apron to open the door, and when he saw the person outside who was obviously dressed up carefully, his eyes softened involuntarily.

Shen Liuyun loves blue, and most of her everyday clothes are predominantly blue.

This set is no exception.

She wore a pure white V-neck mohair vest over a deep blue cotton shirt. Her hair was styled, with a few strands clipped back with blue hairpins, revealing a delicate face with light makeup.

The advantage of living nearby is that you don't have to change your shoes. Shen Liuyun came over wearing her own slippers, which looked rather cute.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Liuyun felt a little embarrassed by the stares.

"It's nothing, you look great like this." After praising you, Ji Qiuzhe called out, "Come in quickly, dinner is ready."

Shen Liuyun's face quickly flushed.

He wanted to relax, after all, he had eaten Ji Qiuzhe's cooking before, but he was like he was under a spell all morning. He changed his clothes several times and put on light makeup before he had the courage to come over.

"it is good."

Ji Qiuzhe's home style is completely different from Shen Liuyun's home. The overall color is very bright, and the soft furnishings mostly use cute elements. There is also a dachshund pillow on the sofa.

It makes people feel happy at first sight.
