Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

Jiang Li smiled, her voice very soft.

"You're so handsome. If you, an old man, went out shopping by yourself, young girls would definitely give you a second glance."

"Nonsense."

Zhou Chiye pinched her fingertips with dissatisfaction, his tone carrying a hint of awkward arrogance.

"I will only ever show this to you in my entire life."

As he spoke, he tucked a blanket around her.

The sun made me sleepy.

Jiang Li's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, but she stubbornly refused to close them.

Because of the amplification of her two senses, she could clearly feel that the large hand enveloping her palm was trembling uncontrollably.

He is afraid.

Zhou Chiye tightened his grip and pressed Jiang Li's hand against his cheek.

He lowered his eyes, staring at Jiang Li's face, his chest heaving, and remained silent for a very long time.

"elder sister."

He finally spoke, his voice hoarse and filled with suppressed trembling.

"Um."

Jiang Li responded softly.

He raised his head, and his once unruly black eyes were now filled with panicked fear.

"If in my next life I...forget you."

His Adam's apple bobbed laboriously, as if he were trying to dig out all the bloody worries from the bottom of his heart.

"If I push you away, if I ignore you, would I still be myself?"

Would you still want me like that?

This was the deepest fear that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.

He is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of getting old.

He was afraid that if he lost his memory, he would become a complete bastard and hurt her.

He might lose this precious treasure that traveled across the world to find him.

He was afraid that person would no longer be him.

He was afraid that she would no longer like him.

Tears welled up in Jiang Li's eyes, and warm liquid slid down the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, dripping onto the back of his hand.

She struggled to raise her other hand and stroked his graying temples.

Just like many years ago, in that apartment in City B, I was coaxing that jealous, spoiled 19-year-old boy.

"Silly boy."

Jiang Li sniffed, her voice soft yet firm.

"No matter what you become, whether you become indifferent or push me away, even if you are a complete madman."

As long as it's you, your very soul, I will actively pursue you, cling to you, and stay by your side forever.

Zhou Chiye's eyes turned completely red, and hot tears fell onto Jiang Li's palm.

In front of this woman, he will always be that big boy who lets down all pretenses.

He buried his face in her neck, like a large dog desperately needing comfort, stubbornly and domineeringly nuzzling her.

"Then you must come early."

He enunciated each word as if they were carved from his very bones.

"Baby, come early, don't keep me waiting too long."

These words struck Jiang Li like a heavy blow.

Shen Yan once said that.

Pei Shiheng once said that.

Now, Zhou Chiye has also spoken out.

Three worlds, three completely different identities, sharing the same soul.

Their way of loving her was so similar, even their final plea was identical.

Jiang Li's heart clenched and ached, and tears streamed down her face. She used all her strength to hug him back.

"Okay, I promise."

Within the system's consciousness, the tone was one of unprecedented panic.

【Honey! Time's up.】

Jiang Li's breathing became weak, and her heartbeat slowed down with each beat.

Zhou Chiye noticed something was wrong immediately.

He could feel the person in his arms breathing lighter and lighter.

It was as light as the breeze blowing in from the window.

He looked up in horror.

His dark eyes were bloodshot.

He was panting heavily, frantically trying to touch Jiang Li's cheek.

"Baby."

His voice shattered completely, filled with desperate pleas.

"Look at me, don't go, look at me again!"

He kissed her nose, eyelids, and lips haphazardly.

"Please don't leave, please, don't leave me alone."

The last rays of the setting sun sank below the horizon.

The view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows became dim.

The air pressure inside was so low that it was hard to breathe.

Zhou Chiye's mournful cry echoed in the empty room.

Jiang Li tried to open her eyes wide.

Her vision began to blur, but she could still make out the face in front of her.

Zhou Chiye, with his white hair and tears streaming down his face, had the same look in his eyes as he did on that stormy night a hundred years ago.

Nineteen-year-old Zhou Chiye looked at her with that obsessive, almost insane, yet trembling with fear.

That possessiveness, the fear of losing her, permeated his entire life.

It has never changed.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Li felt her consciousness rapidly slipping away.

She wanted to raise her hand to touch his high, straight nose again, but she couldn't do it at all.

She could only manage a forced smile.

"I will come to find you, I definitely will..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in his arms completely lost all strength, their body limp against his chest.

She stopped breathing.

Zhou Chiye stood frozen in place.

The world fell silent at that moment.

He held her, motionless.

He refused to let go.

Just like when I snatched her from Zhou Yanchuan when I was nineteen,

Like when I lifted her up and spun her around in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau when she was twenty-two.

Like when he learned the truth at thirty-five and held her tightly in his arms.

The thing Zhou Chiye is best at in his life is never letting go.

The immense grief, like an invisible black hand, crushed his heart.

His heartbeat became rapidly unbalanced due to extreme pain, and insufficient blood supply caused his vision to blur intermittently.

He doesn't care.

He looked down at her quiet face, his rough fingertips wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes one last time.

"I'm waiting for you."

He lowered his head and pressed his lips heavily against her forehead.

It was a long and restrained kiss.

He carried with him all the love and obsession he had in his life.

"Baby."

He whispered in a barely audible breath against her cold earlobe.

"I'll wait no matter how long it takes."

"Next time, you must choose me too."

In this villa filled with countless memories, he accompanied her as they took their final step together.

Inside a pure white space.

Jiang Li suddenly regained consciousness.

No pain, no aging, no fatigue.

She looked down at herself.

My body, which was once in its twenties, has returned.

She stood in the center of the light circle in the system space, her eyes fixed on the virtual screen in front of her that was running wildly.

[Beep—Coordinates locked.]

[Target: Zhou Chiye, soul collection program initiated.]

[Progress 10%...50%...]

The system's materialized sphere of light flickered rapidly in mid-air, while the familiar phantom of the cow-cat spun around anxiously.

[Honey! Calm down, watch me take him down!]

Jiang Li clenched her fists, holding her breath.

drop.

The mechanical sound suddenly stopped.

The progress bar on the light screen shattered into countless light spots.

The system's voice carried a hint of obvious fatigue, along with a touch of nonchalance.

【precious……】

The soul retrieval failed.

His soul departed again, just as it had twice before, disappearing from the coordinates.

Just how high is this person's soul level?

The souls of normal people stay obediently in their original coordinates.

He's the opposite; he always runs off on his own.

The system covered the cat's face with its paws, clearly frustrated.

Before them was the mad and violent Shen Yan, and after them was the aloof and restrained Pei Shiheng.

Now, another possessive person, Zhou Chiye, has arrived.

The souls of these three men.

It failed to capture any of them through normal procedures.

Even if these three people are actually the same soul, for a system that claims to be a high-level dimensional tool...

This is simply the biggest Waterloo for the system.

Jiang Li's heart sank sharply, but then strangely calmed down.

She closed her eyes, and tears flowed silently down her face.

"I know he won't stay where he is."

She opened her eyes, her voice soft but filled with an unprecedented determination.

"He's gone to the next world to wait for me."

From Shen Yan, to Pei Shiheng, and then to Zhou Chiye.

No matter what identity he adopts.

He would fall in love with her again without reservation as long as she went.

The system remained silent for a moment.

The sphere of light flickered a few times, and then a huge teleportation channel emitting a ghostly blue light slowly opened in the pure white space.

Inside lies an endless, unknown world.

The fourth global corridor has been established.

The system's mechanical voice regained its former vitality.

"Are you coming, you gluttonous girl? Let's go find your man."

Jiang Li took a deep breath.

She reached out and wiped away her tears, her eyes regaining a vibrant light.

Without any hesitation, she lifted her foot and stepped directly into the portal of light.

The teleportation channel slammed shut the instant it closed.

In the deepest part of the light and shadow, the faint image of a familiar dark wedding ring flashed by.

That ring was once worn by Shen Yan on her ring finger, held in Pei Shiheng's palm, and accompanied Zhou Chiye for a lifetime.

Now, it is sinking into new world coordinates, awaiting her arrival.

The Third World.

Finish.
