Chapter 6: Sister is Truly Wonderful

Moving into a new home and keeping an empty house, for Wei Jin, last night was a sleepless one.

Since arriving in this world, he had become completely accustomed to the scent of Ceng Li over the past ten-plus days; suddenly sleeping alone, he truly tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Waking up early in the morning, Wei Jin was still habitually waiting for Ceng Li to feed him breakfast, but he might have waited until his stomach growled without it coming, so he had no choice but to tidy up and go downstairs to eat something casual to get by.

Returning to 501, just as he was preparing to call Ceng Li, the phone rang; it really was a meeting of minds, as Ceng Li was calling.

"Li Jie, why didn't you come over to see me today? I waited for breakfast until I was hungry."

Wei Jin struck first to gain the moral high ground.

"No, you're such a big person, do you still need me to take care of your breakfast?"

Ceng Li on the other end of the line said crossly, "You're not a patient anymore."

"."

Wei Jin completely ignored the fact that he had already been discharged; as an adult, he seemed to have become overly dependent on Ceng Li.

"Right, I'm calling to tell you that I have to participate in the Art Troupe's play rehearsals recently, probably for about two weeks. I won't be around during this time, so take care of yourself. I'll send you Lin Xue's contact information in a moment; remember to submit your manuscript."

"Alright, I will. Li Jie, don't be too tired. I'll just be at home typing away. Amour, mwah."

Wei Jin understood; after all, Ceng Li was affiliated with the Art Troupe, and she had to cooperate as much as possible when there were arrangements.

Ceng Li hung up the phone, still immersed in sweetness, though she didn't understand what "mwah" was supposed to be.

Wei Jin began his career of typing; after a morning passed, his hands ached severely.

After thinking it over repeatedly, he took out his phone and asked his dad for five thousand yuan, telling him he wouldn't be going back this summer vacation. — In the afternoon, Wei Jin went to Zhongguancun, picked and chose, and bought an HP laptop, spending nearly 6,000.

He didn't intend to ask his dad for more money; after all, he was someone who had manuscript fees.

On the way home, he stopped to set up broadband and scheduled an installation time; Wei Jin officially began his seclusion to type.

He prepared to write as much of the novel as possible during the time Ceng Li was rehearsing the play; after all, women would only distract him.

Half a month flew by; during this period, the manuscript fees for two weeks had arrived, and Wei Jin's bank card had over twenty thousand more.

Ceng Li hadn't come over either, only sending text messages at night. Wei Jin was happy to flirt with the great beauty, though for this half-month, his sleep quality had never truly improved and remained poor.

Today is Qi Xi; in this era, the Qi Xi Festival did not yet have this atmosphere, and most people's perception of Valentine's Day was the Western February 14th. It must be said that for a civilization with a long history, this is a kind of sorrow.

Wei Jin decorated the house early, and in the afternoon, he made an appointment with Ceng Li to go to Beihai Park.

Beihai Park is centered around Beihai Lake; the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties built detached palaces here, and the Ming and Qing dynasties designated it as an imperial garden, belonging to the ancient Chinese royal gardens.

Ceng Li was wearing a white high-waisted long dress today and, for the first time ever, wore a wide blue headband, looking somewhat playful and even more youthful and vibrant. Perhaps she had always felt pressured being with Wei Jin, so for this first date, she hoped to appear younger.

The two were a handsome man and a beautiful woman with tall, upright figures; wherever they walked, they were a scenic view.

Ceng Li had never been very famous, and her works were pitifully few. When Wei Jin had said he had seen her works, how could she not be secretly delighted in her heart?

Wei Jin was even more of a "small transparent." Strolling through the park, no one recognized them. For the actress Ceng Li, this was not a good phenomenon, but for a great beauty in love, it couldn't be better. Enjoying the lazy afternoon sun with the person she loved, Ceng Li's face was always filled with joy.

For today's date, Wei Jin specifically went to a photography equipment shop near the school to rent a digital camera, just to leave a beautiful memory of the two's first date—which was also the first date of Wei Jin's past and present lives.

At this moment, Ceng Li seemed to have awakened some incredible attribute; like a little girl, she dragged Wei Jin around to take pictures. At first, she didn't trust Wei Jin's technique, but after looking at them several times in a row, Ceng Li was completely reassured.

Just kidding, Wei Jin was, after all, a student of the Beijing Film Academy Director Department; his use of the lens, color matching, and composition of people and scenery were quite professional.

The two walked and looked along the way, incredibly happy. Aimlessly frolicking with the one they loved, it must be said, was truly an ultimate enjoyment.

The August sun was somewhat scorching. Walking and stopping, they arrived at a small hill by the lake, and the two leaned against a large tree to rest. Ceng Li leaned lazily in Wei Jin's arms.

Feeling the breeze blowing from the lake and holding the warm, fragrant jade in his arms, Wei Jin's heart felt an unprecedented peace, as if he had found an anchor in this brand-new world, just watching the beauty so close at hand in a daze.

"Li Jie, you are so beautiful."

Seeming to feel Wei Jin's burning gaze, Ceng Li opened her eyes to see the corners of Wei Jin's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes as gentle as water, as if he were about to envelop her. She couldn't help but be moved, her chin lifting slightly. Receiving the signal, Wei Jin didn't waste words and gently pressed his lips against hers, and the beauty responded passionately.

This kiss drained the oxygen from both their chests, as if they wanted to merge into each other.

After a long while, their lips parted.

The way they looked at each other was enough to pull at the heartstrings, forming a beautiful picture.

The sun slowly set in the west, and the two walked home hand in hand. Along the way, the smile on Ceng Li's face never stopped; clearly, she felt Wei Jin's love for her. At this very moment, Ceng Li truly accepted the big boy beside her.

A candlelight dinner was not difficult for Wei Jin, who was proficient in cooking.

"Xiao Jin, I didn't expect your cooking to be quite good."

Ceng Li was somewhat surprised.

Wei Jin smiled without a word. In fact, his cooking skills were brought from his past life; his predecessor, because of good family conditions and being an only child, did not know how to cook.

"Li Jie, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me?"

"Thank you for spending my 20th birthday with me. It's the most special and meaningful birthday of my life."

"Ah, were you celebrating your lunar birthday? Why didn't you tell me? I didn't prepare a cake or a birthday gift for you."

"Being with you is already sweeter than cake."

Wei Jin walked slowly toward Ceng Li and held her gently in his arms.

"As for a gift, you are the best gift Heaven has sent me."

"Because I met you, I no longer feel lonely."

Ceng Li would never know that if someone familiar from his past life hadn't appeared before his eyes, even after merging his memories, Wei Jin would still have had an indescribable sense of alienation from everything in this world.

That night, Ceng Li did not leave.

That night, Ceng Li lifted Wei Jin's "seal."

That night, the wind was so boisterous... The morning light flickered across the beauty's eyes. Ceng Li opened her eyes lazily, looking at the messy room, as if remembering the madness of last night, her pretty face blushing slightly as she struggled to get up and tidy up.

"Are you awake, Li Jie?"

Hearing the sounds from the room, Wei Jin walked in.

"You go wash up first; breakfast will be ready to eat in a moment."

Saying this, he handed the silk pajamas in his hand to the beauty.

Ceng Li was like a newlywed bride from ancient times, answering in a gentle voice, her gaze toward Wei Jin as if it could wring out water, truly a pitiful sight to behold.

"Hurry up and get out, I'm not wearing anything."

"Didn't I see everything last night? Don't be shy, Li Jie."

"What kind of habit is it to not let people wear clothes while sleeping?"

Amidst their flirting and playful banter, Ceng Li finished dressing and walked toward the bathroom.

Wei Jin returned to the kitchen and brought the breakfast to the dining table, but he was not calm at this moment; what echoed in his mind was not the amorous scene of dressing just now, but that one matter he could not fathom no matter how much he thought about it.
