Mu Qingyan was stunned by this gentle yet oppressive kiss.

Before he transmigrated into the book, he had devoted himself solely to his career in the entertainment industry. He had never been in love nor had he ever been kissed. Even the kissing scenes in his work were acted out with a stand-in.

So this was what it felt like to be kissed.

Soft and gentle, it tickled his heart.

Mu Qingyan felt the unfamiliar tenderness and responded awkwardly. When he responded, Ji Liyun was slightly startled, then cupped the back of Mu Qingyan’s head and kissed him more passionately.

This fiery and intense kiss made Mu Qingyan feel like his heart was slowly being filled by the person in front of him, magically and uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he realized something and pushed Ji Liyun away.

“Why are you doing this?” Mu Qingyan whispered.

“You just confessed your feelings, and I haven’t even agreed yet.”

“I feel so confused, but why did I follow my instincts and respond?”

“Or maybe there’s something wrong with me…”

Ji Liyun looked at him gently, his eyes full of overflowing affection. Mu Qingyan only met his gaze for a moment before quickly looking away.

“Ah Yan,” Ji Liyun took a step forward and still tightly held onto him.

He slightly lowered his head and rested his chin on Mu Qingyan’s shoulder, speaking in a warm voice. “I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time that I like you.”

“Before, it was a restrained kind of like, but now it’s an uncontrollable love.”

Ji Liyun spoke slowly, as if waiting for Mu Qingyan to slowly accept this fact from his words.

Mu Qingyan was half a head shorter than Ji Liyun. At this moment, the two were tightly pressed against each other, and he could feel Ji Liyun’s heartbeat clearly.

Thump, thump, thump.

Heartbeats in sync with him.

Ji Liyun saw that he was still silent and said again, “I really felt jealous about Luo Wenzhe. Whenever I thought about someone always being around you, it made me feel sour. I wondered if I ignored you on purpose, would you feel that I am more important, and would you develop the same feelings for me?”

“But I was wrong,” Ji Liyun laughed at himself, “The week I didn’t contact you felt like an eternity. Every day I woke up thinking of you, thought of you at work, and even thought of you when I slept. I was going crazy.”

“But you still didn’t contact me,” Mu Qingyan grumbled.

Ji Liyun raised his left hand and affectionately rubbed Mu Qingyan’s head. He smiled and said, “Yes, I wanted to wait for you to make the first move. But I couldn’t help it in the end, so I came to see you today.”

He stood up straight, held Mu Qingyan’s face in his warm hands, and gently kissed him on the forehead. The tender feeling made Mu Qingyan unable to resist.

“Don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?” Ji Liyun’s eyes full of love never left Mu Qingyan’s body.

He half coaxed and half begged, “I don’t need you to respond to my feelings for you right away. I just hope you can forgive me for being emotional those days.”

The President finally admitted his own emotional tendencies, which made Mu Qingyan unable to help but laugh out loud, “Okay.”

Although the disagreement between them had been resolved, a question had been weighing on Mu Qingyan’s mind. He wanted to know the answer, “Do you like me because we grew up together?”

Ji Liyun: “?”

“This answer is important to me,” Mu Qingyan finally looked back at Ji Liyun and spoke with conviction.

“Okay,” Ji Liyun answered very seriously. “I did gradually start to like you after getting to know you. Although I didn’t keep in touch for a long time after going abroad, the first thing I wanted to do when I came back was to confess my feelings to you.”

“I just didn’t expect that I was too late, and you were already engaged. So I kept this feeling hidden in my heart.”

Mu Qingyan sighed quietly. He thought to himself that he was right. Ji Liyun liked him only because he liked the original host.

Ji Liyun: “This kind of liking can be for a lover, but it can also be transformed into a brotherly love. It’s the kind of liking that wishes for your happiness silently. But later, it became different.”

“Different?” Mu Qingyan was curious. How could it be different?

“After your divorce, it’s like you’ve become a different person. It makes me feel both familiar and unfamiliar, and I constantly want to get closer to you, to understand you,” Ji Liyun gently caressed Mu Qingyan’s cheek, “The closer I get to you, the more I am attracted to you. Gradually, I realized that I am falling for you more and more.”

“This kind of love has already surpassed the love I had before. It has become a selfish but pure love, where I only want you to stay by my side, and I don’t want anyone else to take you away from me.”

Ji Liyun chuckled softly, “It’s a selfish yet pure love. I love you, Ah Yan.”

Beep beep beep –

The sound of a notification from Ji Liyun’s phone interrupted them. He took a look and said, “The driver is here. Do you still want to go for a drive or should I send you home?”

“Send me home,” Mu Qingyan accepted Ji Liyun’s explanation, but the alcohol was still affecting him, and his mind was in disarray. He wanted to go home, take a shower, and sleep.

When they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, the driver had already left. Mu Qingyan saw Ji Liyun sitting in the driver’s seat and said, “You can’t drink and drive.”

“I had planned to send you home today, so I didn’t drink,” Ji Liyun smiled.

Okay, so he had planned everything in advance.

Mu Qingyan didn’t say anything during the ride. He kept thinking about Ji Liyun’s confession. He wanted to sort out his thoughts and find reasons to reject him, but he couldn’t come up with any.

He thought Ji Liyun liked the original owner of the body he was in. But now, Ji Liyun not only liked the original owner, but also liked him. This kind of feeling was too complicated for Mu Qingyan, who had no experience in love.

Mu Qingyan couldn’t help but roar in his heart, love was just too complicated!

It was late at night, and the road conditions were good. After forty or fifty minutes, they arrived at Mu Qingyan’s villa.

“We’re here,” Ji Liyun helped Mu Qingyan unbuckle his seatbelt. Seeing that Mu Qingyan didn’t make a move to get out of the car, he asked, “Do you want to talk some more?”

“Okay,” Mu Qingyan answered softly.

Ji Liyun didn’t rush him, he just waited quietly.

Finally, Mu Qingyan spoke up and decided to tell this devoted person the truth, “I came here from a transmigration novel. I’m not originally from this world, and I’m not the Mu Qingyan you knew before you went abroad.”

He thought Ji Liyun would be shocked and think that he was just talking nonsense under the influence of alcohol.

But in fact, Ji Liyun remained calm and only fell silent for a few seconds before asking, “Was it on the day of your divorce?”

“Yes,” Mu Qingyan nodded and asked, “Do you believe that we are in a world from a novel, and that I am a transmigrant?”

“I believe it,” Ji Liyun muttered, “because I was reborn on the day you divorced.”

Mu Qingyan was surprised, “What? Reborn?” It turned out that it wasn’t just strange things happening to him.

“That day, I saw the news of his suicide by jumping off a building, and investigated the cause of his death. I was so sad that I was reborn. It seems that he really did die,” Ji Liyun sighed lightly. “I should have realized it earlier. His personality is completely different from yours. He’s not as smart and capable as you. He must have been bullied and insulted by Xing Hao and Xie Ming before he was overburdened, suffered from mental illness, and had to jump off the building.”

Mu Qingyan thought that since they were talking about it, he might as well explain the cause and effect of transmigration to Ji Liyun.

“I’ve dreamed of the original owner many times. The most memorable one was when I dreamed of him jumping off the building, as if he was pushed by someone,” he said.

“Pushed by someone…” Ji Liyun pondered for a moment and said, “You transmigrated, and I was reborn. This may be a coincidence, or perhaps, it is a destiny that wants us to work together to avenge him.”

“Maybe,” Mu Qingyan murmured with his head down.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “You said you investigated the cause of the original owner’s death before you were reborn? What was the result of the investigation?”

“The tragedy of jumping off a building was caused by Xing Hao and Xie Ming,” Ji Liyun gritted his teeth with unutterable anger every time he mentioned their names. “Later, I found out that Uncle Mu and Aunt Shen’s death was also related to them, but I didn’t have time to investigate it clearly, and then I was reborn.”

“In fact, I guessed that if someone didn’t do something, our family of three wouldn’t have died one after another within a year. I will protect my parents and never let them succeed again,” Mu Qingyan said.

The two of them sat in the car, silent for a few minutes.

Ji Liyun wanted to hold Mu Qingyan’s hand, but he dodged it. Mu Qingyan smiled faintly and said, “You already know that I am not the person you liked.”

“I have also said that I love you, the current you,” Ji Liyun held Mu Qingyan’s hand again and didn’t allow him to escape.

“…” Mu Qingyan tried several times but couldn’t pull his hand back, so he let him hold it.

Ji Liyun leaned in his ear and whispered, “So, do you have a little bit of liking for me?”

“I…” Mu Qingyan didn’t know what to say.

He didn’t feel any aversion or rejection towards Ji Liyun, and he even felt ecstatic when Ji Liyun confessed his feelings on Saint Island. He would get angry when Ji Liyun ignored him and would respond to his kisses without thinking.

Therefore, he also liked him.

Mu Qingyan didn’t want to deny it: “I kind of like you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Liyun happily hugged him and said, “That’s great, really great.”

“What?” Mu Qingyan didn’t understand.

Ji Liyun brought his face closer to Mu Qingyan and said in a soft voice, “It’s really great to have you.”

For some reason, after that night, Mu Qingyan felt relieved and sweet in his heart.

Seeing the faint smile on his face, Ji Liyun asked solemnly, “Can you be my lover?”

“Okay.”

Before getting off the car, Mu Qingyan still felt moved by the sweet kiss they shared on the terrace. He wanted to taste it again, so he took the initiative to kiss Ji Liyun’s lips.

When butler Li heard the sound of a car roaring outside the courtyard and was about to open the door to welcome the young master, he was stunned by what he saw – what? The young master and Mr. Ji were kissing!

Are they together?!

Butler Li: What did I just see? Can I really see this? Should I prepare for the next happy event?
