"Lan Jin, let's go home."
Shen Muqing nestled in Lan Jin's arms, her bright eyes fixed on him, but at that moment, only Lan Jin was in those bright eyes.
"Okay, let's go home."
Lan Jin emphasized the word "home" in his voice, and he and Shen Muqing looked at each other.
A gentle breeze blew, softly scattering petals that fluttered down in the air, mirroring the deep gaze of Lan Jin, which reflected Shen Muqing.
Lan Jin liked this feeling very much. Shen Muqing's eyes only saw her, and could only see her.
He paused for a moment, his slender fingers helping Shen Muqing put on her shoes and socks.
After playing in the water for a long time, Shen Muqing was a little tired and slumped on Lan Jin's back. This was not the first time Lan Jin had carried her, but it might be the last.
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing's eyes flickered, and finally she nestled against Lan Jin's nape, gently placing a kiss through his collar, carrying a hint of reluctance and tenderness.
"Host, we'll probably be leaving tonight. My problem has been taken care of."
"Hmm, Egg, how many more worlds do I need to travel through before I can complete the mission?"
"It'll be soon, host."
"good."
During dinner, Shen Muqing didn't speak, and Lan Jin didn't say a word either, each doing their own thing.
Shen Muqing had a premonition that Lan Jin knew she was about to leave.
The two lay in bed without exchanging a word. Lan Jin held Shen Muqing's waist tightly as usual, but his fingers trembled slightly, a tremor he himself didn't even notice.
"Qingqing".
"Um?"
A deep voice sounded above Shen Muqing's head. Shen Muqing wanted to look up, but Lan Jin held her in his arms. Her face was pressed against Lan Jin's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and she felt an indescribable bitterness.
"If I..."
Lan Jin said a few words and then fell silent. Shen Muqing heard a faint sigh.
"If what?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep."
"oh."
Shen Muqing's eyes, unable to bear the strain, closed. She decided to take a nap first.
In the pitch-black room, Lan Jin never closed his eyes. He knew that his Qingqing was about to leave, and he also knew that Qingqing was not from this world.
Several times he saw Shen Muqing talking to himself, saying things he couldn't understand.
Lan Jin moved her lips slightly and said very softly, "If I beg you, will you stay for me?"
His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze remained fixed on Shen Muqing.
Clearly, no one answered him. Lan Jin dared not fall asleep, but for some reason, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and slowly closed them.
No, I can't sleep...
In the end, Lan Jin fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Muqing, who had been asleep in his arms, sat up.
"Egg, let's go."
"Alright, host, get ready, let's go."
Shen Muqing nodded expressionlessly, her voice devoid of any emotion, "Let's go."
The world spun around them, and in a corner of the capital city, where clutter was piled up, a figure suddenly appeared.
That's right, the figure was Shen Muqing.
Despite her headache, Shen Muqing questioned the system.
"Egg, am I dressed as a beggar?"
"Host, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
What do you think?
If Egg had a physical body, it would definitely get a beating from Shen Muqing right now. Whose system is so unreliable? Oh, it's hers.
"Here's the thing, host. When I left this world just now, my program froze for a moment, so..."
Egg's emotionless electronic voice now betrayed a hint of guilt.
"Am I still in this world?"
"Wow, host, you're really smart. You're right, it's just that it's three years from now."
Is this good news?
"Of course not. The good news is that nobody in this world knows you, so you can play around without restraint for a few years."
"Egg, don't you want to laugh when you say that?"
Shen Muqing smiled speechlessly; her little egg was truly remarkable.
"Don't worry, host. You can play as much as you want, just treat it as a vacation. Food and drinks are on me, Egg."
"I'll take you away as soon as I fix the system bug."
Egg said in a flattering tone, explaining that it didn't know why it kept making mistakes lately, as if it were being interfered with.
"Does nobody really know me?"
If Lan Jin still had his memories, he didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if he caught him, given his personality. His smile was even more terrifying than his expressionless face.
"Don't worry, I guarantee that no one will recognize you."
After it finished speaking, Shen Muqing found something extra on her body, which was quite heavy. When she took it out, she was surprised to find it was a bag of gold leaves.
"Egg, you're so generous. I forgive you."
"If you don't have enough, just tell me, I have more!"
"Egg, you are the most reliable system I have ever seen. I love you."
With this bag of gold leaves, Shen Muqing felt at ease; having money made life feel like a holiday.
"Egg, when are you going to fix this bug?"
Egg said confidently, "This time it will only take a month to get better, I promise."
"Then I'll trust you one more time."
After a brief exchange, Shen Muqing finally took a step, feeling uncomfortable and dirty all over.
Indeed, that was the case. She was filthy and smelled terrible, which was quite disgusting.
She immediately went to the largest restaurant in the capital, but was kicked out by a waiter as soon as she entered.
"Go away, go away, where did this beggar come from? Go away."
The servant covered his nose, frowned, and wouldn't let Shen Muqing in, his tone full of disgust and aversion.
Shen Muqing ignored him, simply taking out a gold leaf from her bag and glancing at him indifferently.
Is that enough?
As the saying goes, those with money are always the bosses.
After carefully examining the gold leaf in her hand, the servant's expression changed, and he greeted her with a smile and respectful invitation to enter.
"It was my fault for not recognizing your greatness. Please come in, esteemed guest."
"Prepare a good meal for me, book a superior room so I can take a bath, and also prepare a set of men's clothing for me."
Shen Muqing took out another piece and tossed it to him, "Here's your tip."
"Alright, I'll take you to your room right away."
The servant's eyes were practically closed with laughter, and he bowed and scraped, adopting the lowest possible posture.
Shen Muqing took a hot bath as she wished, and only then did she feel comfortable, as if she had been reborn.
Money really can make the devil turn the millstone. Luckily, I have money. Gold is always useful, no matter when.
With money, improved eyesight, and no more tasks, I can't even imagine how wonderful the days ahead will be.
Shen Muqing, dressed in men's clothing, tied her hair up in a high ponytail and used a silver crown to bind her long hair. Her face was still the same as before.
From afar, he appeared to be a noble young master, dashing and debonair, though his face was somewhat delicate.
The servant who brought Shen Muqing's meal was stunned. He had indeed failed to recognize the great man's worth. Fortunately, the young master did not hold it against him and was very generous.
"Young master, the food is here."
"Put it here." Shen Muqing straightened her clothes, her mind racing. Since she was so rich, wouldn't it be a waste not to indulge herself?
Now that she's dressed in men's clothing and deliberately lowers her voice, no one can tell her true identity just by looking at her without touching her.
"etc."
"Is there anything else you need, young master?"
Where is the place to listen to music here?
The servant smiled knowingly, "Young master, just walk straight for a hundred meters and you'll arrive. Chunfeng Tower is the best place for us to relax."
"Is there anything else you can help me with, young master?"
"No."
The door was gently closed. Shen Muqing ate the steaming hot food, thinking that she would go and see what kind of relaxing place it was later.
