Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...
That evening, Zhou Wei was about to take Xia Qingqing out for dinner when she received a message from Feng Yu.
Feng Yu: [Weiwei, are you off work? I'll come pick you up.]
Zhou Wei: [No need, I have plans with friends.]
Feng Yu: [Who is it? Do I know them?]
Zhou Wei: [You don't know her. She's from out of town and came here to visit me.]
Feng Yu: [Then I'll treat you to a meal. You can also introduce me to your friend.]
Zhou Wei: [Let me ask her if she's willing.]
After putting down her phone, Zhou Wei looked at Xia Qingqing, who was playing a game, and asked, "Ayu said he wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Qingqing, do you want to go?"
“Sure, whatever you decide,” Xia Qingqing said, engrossed in the game without looking up.
She hadn't played games in a long time. All the games Zhou Wei had downloaded for her before were single-player games that didn't require an internet connection, and they were nowhere near as fun as these large-scale games.
Zhou Wei glanced at her helplessly, then picked up her phone and sent a message to Feng Yu.
Zhou Wei: [Ayu, come pick us up from home.]
Feng Yu: [Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes]
Just as Xia Qingqing finished a game, Feng Yu arrived downstairs.
Zhou Wei stood up and said to Xia Qingqing, "Qingqing, stop playing. We should go downstairs."
"Oh, you're here so soon," Xia Qingqing said with a hint of regret. She had lost the last round and wanted to play another one.
Zhou Wei grabbed her hand and led her out the door, saying, "You can play slowly when you get back. Ayu is already waiting downstairs."
The two went downstairs and saw a black Cayenne parked there.
Feng Yu, who was waiting in the car, saw his girlfriend arrive and immediately opened the car door to greet Zhou Wei: "Weiwei."
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "Ayu, let me introduce you. This is my friend Xia Qingqing."
"Is this the friend you met online?" Feng Yu's gaze swept over Xia Qingqing, with a hint of scrutiny.
Although Xia Qingqing never appeared in Zhou Wei's real life, those close to her knew that she had a very good friend online, and Feng Yu was no exception.
Zhou Wei nodded: "Yes, she came here specifically to visit me, and she'll probably stay here for a while."
"Hello, Miss Xia," Feng Yu said, extending his hand to Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing smiled and lightly shook hands with her fingertips: "Hello Mr. Feng, I've heard Weiwei mention you before, and I'm so glad to finally meet you today."
"Haha, does Weiwei often complain about me to you?" Feng Yu said, looking at Zhou Wei beside him with affection.
Xia Qingqing said with a smile, "How could that be? Weiwei often praises you, saying that you are handsome and kind to her."
Feng Yu curled his lips. Although he knew that Xia Qingqing's words were not very credible, who wouldn't like to hear nice things?
"Get in the car first, I've already made a reservation at the restaurant," Feng Yu said, gentlemanly opening the back door and gesturing for him to enter.
The restaurant wasn't far from where Zhou Wei lived; it only took about ten minutes to get there.
Feng Yu let the two girls go up first, while he went to the parking lot to park by himself.
When Feng Yu arrived, Zhou Wei and Xia Qingqing had already ordered the food. As soon as he arrived, Zhou Wei handed him the menu: "Yu, take a look and see what else you would like to eat?"
After taking the menu, Feng Yu added two more dishes and asked Xia Qingqing, "Would you like some red wine?"
"No need," Xia Qingqing quickly waved her hand in refusal.
Feng Yu calmly put away the menu and asked unhurriedly, "How long does Miss Xia plan to stay here?"
"Well, probably a few months or so," Xia Qingqing didn't give a definitive answer, because she didn't know when she would suddenly move to a different place.
"Have you found a place to stay? Do you need any help?" Feng Yu asked.
Zhou Wei smiled and said, "No need, Qingqing will be staying with me during this time."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu's expression froze for a moment. He hadn't even been able to live with his girlfriend yet, but others had already taken her place.
Feng Yu tentatively said, "Weiwei, isn't your place a bit too crowded? Actually, I own several houses, so Miss Xia can choose one to live in."
Xia Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled. How could she not see through Feng Yu's little scheme? But all she could do was apologize.
This might be the only time they'll ever have together, so she wanted to make the most of her time with Weiwei.
Zhou Wei naturally thought the same way and immediately rejected Feng Yu's offer.
Feng Yu looked at his girlfriend with some grievance. The apartment was really small, and if Xia Qingqing also lived there, it would be inconvenient for him to visit her anytime.
Zhou Wei patted his hand on the table reassuringly: "It's okay, Qingqing rarely comes here. I'll spend more time with you in a while."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu immediately perked up: "Yes, if you need any help, feel free to let me know."
Zhou Wei opened her mouth, but ultimately kept it closed.
She originally wanted to ask Feng Yu if he could help her get a temporary identity, but she didn't know how to explain Xia Qingqing's identity, so she decided to just make do for now.
After finishing their meal, Feng Yu escorted the two of them back home.
Xia Qingqing took it upon herself to go upstairs first, leaving the two of them alone together.
Feng Yu hugged Zhou Wei, pressing their foreheads together, and whispered, "How about we come to my place tomorrow?"
"No, I want to stay with Qingqing," Zhou Wei said, placing her hands on Feng Yu's chest and smiling as she refused.
Feng Yu pecked her lips hard, feigning anger, and said, "You scoundrel, you value your friends more than your lover."
Zhou Wei smiled and blinked her bright eyes, replying, "What else? Do you think I should prioritize romance over friendship?"
"It's because I didn't try hard enough to capture Weiwei's heart," Feng Yu said, his eyes lingering on the person in his arms.
Zhou Wei felt hot all over from his gaze, and subconsciously licked her lips; male beauty was so alluring.
Feng Yu could no longer resist and lowered his head to kiss her. Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere inside the car gradually intensified.
After the kiss ended, Zhou Wei leaned weakly against Feng Yu's chest: "I'm going up now, you should go back too, be careful."
"I don't want to, I can't bear to part with you," Feng Yu locked the passenger door, preventing Zhou Wei from getting out of the car.
Zhou Wei patted Feng Yu's head helplessly: "Be good, I'll spend more time with you in a while."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Feng Yu's eyes, but he also knew that Zhou Wei would not leave Xia Qingqing alone at home.
Suddenly, Feng Yu remembered something and asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, you bought her a wedding gift last time?"
“Yes,” Zhou Wei nodded.
"She must be married by now, so why isn't she at home with her husband?" Feng Yu asked cautiously.
He secretly wondered if their relationship had broken down and that Xia Qingqing had come on a trip to clear her mind.
