He Yuqian and Lin Wan had gotten to know each other after that. He Yuqian was a university lecturer. Whenever he thought Lin Wan’s mind was drifting, he got concerned.
Three months ago, Lin Wan landed at Sucheng Central Park Station. Everything around her had been so unfamiliar. She remembered her address and a string of passwords to a door. However, she didn’t know how to get there. Fortunately, she met He Yuqian.
“Yuqian, are you free tomorrow? Can you come with me?” said Lin Wan. “To prove to you that I am not going crazy, I will tell you how he looks, and you can see for yourself tomorrow.”
Lin Wan turned on the recording function on her phone. “He’s about 1.83 meters tall, he is thirty-eight years old, and his face is similar to yours. His skin is quite fair, and he doesn’t talk much. I knew him for many years, but I never had a good long chat with him. He used to call me Lin Wan, but I don’t know why he called me Wanwan today.”
“His eyes are wide. His nose is high. He only has one expression. I didn’t ever see him smile. We used to live at the Royal Water Bay in Yun City,” said Lin Wan.
He Yuqian had already asked his friend to check the information she gave. There was nobody named Li Yanchen in this world. However, Lin Wan’s words made sense. He Yuqian wanted to know the truth as well.
“Alright. I will come with you tomorrow.”
Li Yanchen went online to check on the location Lin Wan had sent him. Sucheng Earth Movers, Little Chong Qing.
‘Sucheng?’ thought Li Yanchen. He had been to so many cities on business trips, but he had never heard of a city called Sucheng. He had no recollection of it at all. He didn’t know about the city at all, so why would he ever buy a house here?
When Lin Wan answered the phone, there was another man beside her. Li Yanchen was confused. He wondered if what Lin Wan said about another world and another dimension was true.
In that case, was this Lin Wan the one he loved or the Lin Wan from before? Were the two Lin Wans the same person, just from different time periods?
He was apprehensive. He spent the entire night looking for any clues he could find. Fortunately, there was a picture in the WeChat moments with him and Lin Wan. It was a picture from the birthday party that Lin Wan held for the children.
Li Yanchen was afraid. If there was only this Lin Wan in this world, would the man called Yuqian be her lover?
He remembered that Lin Wan had told him that she came from another world and did not know when she would return. She had also said that she might forget about him when that time came.
For the entire night, he poured over every photo he had saved with Lin Wan in it. He took a screenshot of everything, even the texts he had shared with Lin Wan on WeChat. However, when he tried to send a message to Lin Wan’s account, he couldn’t send it.
He had lost contact with Lin Wan on WeChat. Li Yanchen did not know how he managed to survive till noon the next day.
He went to the mall to buy a pink shirt. Pink was Lin Wan’s favorite color. His card and his wallet were still with him. The password was also the same. Only the environment and the surrounding had changed.
‘Did I also transmigrate?’ thought Li Yanchen.
He Yuqian applied for leave from the university early in the morning. He didn’t want to disturb Lin Wan, so he bought breakfast onlv at around ten in the morning and went to her place.
He was standing downstairs with a thermos. When he rang the doorbell, a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind. There was a bouquet of roses in his backpack.
‘If Li Yanchen really existed, would he become the love rival?’ thought He Yuqian. Even though he knew that Lin Wan didn’t like Li Yanchen in that way, his voice had been anxious enough on the phone to imply that he was very worried about Lin Wan.
He Yuqian thought that if he didn’t confess now, he might not have a chance in the future. When he woke up in the morning, she had struggled with the thought. In the end, he decided it was better to confess to Lin Wan before she met Li Yanchen.
He went to the florist and bought some roses. The staff told him that the meaning of nineteen roses was to ask someone to accompany them forever. He had also cooked a pot of shredded chicken and shrimp porridge and packed it.
Lin Wan had stayed up late and gone to sleep only in the morning. He had packed some food because he hoped she would have something warm to eat when she woke up.
He was prepared if she chose to reject him. He had a Pushkin poem in his bag titled “I Loved You Once”. If Lin Wan rejected him, he wanted to give the poem to her.
Although Lin Wan did livestream late into the night, she never felt as relaxed in her other world.
Her fans were all very friendly. In her own world, she had felt like she didn’t know anything. However, here, she was so talented. She had made an account and mastered a lot of baking techniques.
Her private messages were all filled with positive messages. Her fans expressed their love for her every time. She felt happier day by day in this world.
She had even met someone who was good to her. It was so rare for people to find someone like that.
She even met someone who was especially good to her, and this kind of good had nothing to do with anyone else.
Lin Wan liked to read. She had read too many novels about transmigration, and she had figured out that she had also transmigrated into this world.
He opened the anti-theft lock and went straight up from the elevator. Lin Wan was already done with her makeup.
Lin Wan had long hair. Today, she was wearing a dress. When he first met her, she looked so pitiful that he instinctively wanted to protect her from the world.
Although he had seen her doing well in her livestream, he knew she was a quiet person when offline. She spoke very little. Other than making desserts, she loved reading. She could sit on a couch or the balcony the entire day reading.
“Hey, Lin Wan,” he said in greeting. “I made some porridge for you. It’s very flavorful. I went to the market to buy fresh chicken to make it.” He Yuqian walked to the kitchen for some bowls and chopsticks.
Lin Wan sat obediently at the dining table and let He Yuqian care for her. “Didn’t you go home at midnight yesterday?” she said. “You don’t need to wake up so early and bring me food. In the future, don’t come so early.”
He Yuqian thought that Lin Wan had guessed he wanted to confess, so she was rejecting him. His heart tightened.
“I don’t mind, ” he said. “I just live in the next building, anyway. It isn’t troublesome for me to come over.”
“I don’t want you to work so hard. I can order takeaways,” said Lin Wan. Her heart ached for He Yuqian. His work was not light. In addition to lecturing in college, he had to focus on his thesis as well. Even then, he found time to cook and bring her meals every day.
“Takeaways aren’t healthy,” he said. “I have to eat anyway, so it’s not a bother to make an extra portion. And… It makes me happy when I deliver food here because I get to see you.”
Lin Wan was astonished. He Yuqian took out the bouquet of roses from his bag. “Wanwan, I want to be with you forever.”
He was so nervous that the Pushkin poetry fell out of his back when he took out the roses. The page fluttered on the ground and unfurled, revealing the poem.
Lin Wan leaned down to pick it up. He Yuqian awkwardly snatched the paper from her hand. “Wanwan,” he said. “Don’t read this right now.”
“Wanwan, I realized that I miss you so much when you aren’t with me,” he said.
His voice shook..
