“She is a livestreamer. She livestreams about baking various desserts,” he said. He suddenly looked at Lin Wan. He looked sorrowful. “Wanwan, did you stay up very late into the night every day to livestream in that world?”

Lin Wan held his face in her hands. Her fingers cupped his cheeks. “I slept during the morning and only streamed for a few hours at night. There are plenty of viewers at night, after all. Everybody works hard to make money. I am the same.”

“I wanted to leave some money for her, but I couldnt. I had enough money on my card, but when I tried to withdraw it for her, it wouldn’t let me. However, I saw her live broadcast. She is very popular among the viewers.”

Li Yanchen had gone to different banks, but whenever he tried to withdraw some money for her, the balance was displayed as empty.

“Maybe parallel worlds have their own rules. My account has more fans than the Sweet Little Circle channel in that world. I used to earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in that world. That is equivalent to the salary of a blue-collar worker. So, it’s pretty decent.” Lin Wan was quite proud of herself. After all, she was an independent woman of the new era.

“She showed me a picture of your house. You decorated your place very lovingly. Wanwan, I didn’t know you liked purple so much. I felt so proud to see the things you had built by yourself. I wanted to bring back something from there as a memento, but I couldn’t take anything with me.” Li Yanchen was elated to see the wealth that Lin Wan had created with her own hands in that world.

“I wanted to decorate the whole house in pink. I liked to pretend that I was young.” Lin Wan could see that Li Yanchen was surprised.

“Are you sure that we won’t switch back to our worlds if the original owner chooses to stay in the other world?” asked Lin Wan. She hoped it was true.

“Yes, that’s what she told me,” said Li Yanchen. “I told her that you want to stay back here too. Wanwan, I finally understand why you were so stressed about disappearing one day.” He hugged her.

He looked into her eyes. “You don’t have to worry about disappearing ever again.”

Lin Wan was relieved. She didn’t have to worry any longer. This was the ending she had wished for. It was so unexpected that Li Yanchen would give her the confirmation she wanted the most to soothe her.

“The story starts in the beginning, remains as it is, begins with the heart, and ends in happiness.” Lin Wan racked her brain and came up with a poetic sentence.

“Sometimes, I wonder, if I didn’t arrive in this world, but you went to my world instead, would you still have fallen in love with me?” said Lin Wan. “Did I come to this world just to be with you? Are two people really destined to meet each other, no matter what dimension they might belong to? Can people really cross mountains and seas just to be with the one destined for them?”

Lin Wan wondered if it was possible to travel vertically through space and time. Could they then return to the past or go to the future?

Li Yanchen had not believed her at first. But, after the trip to Sucheng, he believed everything.

“Wanwan, don’t think about strange things,” he said. “What if you suddenly disappear one day? What would I do then?” He placed a kiss on her lips.

Their second intimate moment was on the sofa in the room. They took pleasure in each other’s company to their heart’s content, and looked into each other’s eyes as if to say, “You are my one and only.”

Lin Wan no longer had to worry about her happiness disappearing into thin air one day. Her mind was at peace. At night, they changed into their pajamas and went out to eat.

Li Yanchen had specially chosen a food stall with a few tables outside. A tarpaulin was raised as a canopy over the tables and steel chairs. Lin Wan picked the seat closest to the lake.

The stall owner was skillfully turning the skewers on the grill. There was a big iron pot next to the grill. A woman in plain clothes was cooking the side dishes.

Li Yanchen ordered a plate of stir-fried screws, a plate of braised eggplants, and a plate of clam and broccoli buns, all of which were common in Lin Wan’s original world.

Lin Wan was surprised. ‘You even know about this?”

After he woke up, Li Yanchen looked for all the information he could find on cities with similar customs and practices to Sucheng. He had found a few places that had similar food to the ones in Lin Wan’s world.

“Are you willing to stay here only because of me and the children?” asked Li

Yanchen.

“Yes,” she said. “Even Yang Ruoxi and the Director’s mother are here. All the people that are the most important to me are here in this world. It’s a pity the Director’s mother doesn’t have any memories, though.”

Lin Wan had read many books about transmigration. It was rare for someone who had transmigrated to find people from their original world. In that sense, Lin Wan felt very grateful and lucky.

“Are you worried that I would feel sad because I can’t go back to my own world?” she said. “Don’t be. I am very happy here.” Lin Wan could see that Li Yanchen felt conflicted.

“Really?”

“Yes, everything I care about is here. Lin Wan has also found a place that suits her. Everything is just perfect!” Lin Wan raised her beer bottle.

Xia MO returned from her dessert shop and sent Lin Wan a message. “Wanwan, are you alright? ”

Upon hearing the notification, Lin Wan pressed the unlock button and sent her a reply. “I’m drinking beer with Li Yanchen in Pyongyang.”

“He just woke up and you guys are already traveling?” Xia MO asked. “Shouldn’t he be in the hospital for further observation?”

“He is fine now. I am keeping an eye on him. I will text you when I get back.” Lin Wan sent her a goodbye emoji.

The two of them drank a box of beer and felt a little light-headed as they walked away. They talked and laughed along the way.

The three-day trip to Pyongyang ended quickly. Lin Wan and Li Yanchen got on the high-speed train back to Yun city.

At Yun Xi High School, during the P.E. class in the afternoon, Li Zexin looked at the time. Today was the third day since his father and Lin Wan had gone away. They should be back tonight.

Yesterday, he had promised Preserved Egg and the rest that he would let them freeload a meal at his house.

Auntie Huang already knew that there would be three more people for dinner, so she started preparing everything in the afternoon.

When Lin Wan was on the train, she gave Auntie Huang a call as well, telling her that she and Li Yanchen would be home at around half past five in the evening.

At 5:20 p.m., the school bell rang.

Li Zexin and his three roommates rushed out of the school. This was the first time Preserved Egg, Big Mouth, and Chubby Jiang were visiting Li Zexin’s new house.

The boys looked around.” I need to prepare for this. You’re too mysterious. For the past two years, we didn’t even know where your house was.”

“We’ll probably only live here for a year. When we were at Royal Water Bay, our house was super quiet. I don’t even want to go back there.” Li Zexin had never taken his friends to his house before.

“Your house is big, isn’t it? I heard that four people and an auntie used to live in a big villa of more than six hundred square meters.” Preserved Egg put his arm around Li Zexin’s shoulders.

“My dad is always on business trips and my brother is always aloof. Jiejie is talkative, but it’s so boring to play with him. Most of the time, I play on my own, but it’s different now. Ms. Lin is super childish. It’s so lively with her around.” When Li Zexin mentioned Lin Wan, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Can I meet Ms. Lin in person today? I really want to know what she’s like in real life. I want to know the person who made someone useless as you turn a new leaf over in life..”
