The Young Master Proposed?!
Ning Yi’s mindset quickly steadied again.
After all, she was someone who had seen great storms and survived countless hardships.
Relying on her memory, Ning Yi completed the string of coordinates Wander had left behind, and Gu Cheng sent people to that location.
In the apocalypse world, that coordinate was a supply point they had defended. But here, it was an ordinary small city in the northwest.
Gu Cheng’s people searched the place thoroughly, but found no trace of Wander.
Ning Yi already understood in her heart. He had gone back, and he had sensed it long ago.
But Ning Yi couldn’t help wondering—how was Captain doing now?
Before he disappeared, Brother Wan had gone into closed-door strength training, so his abilities must have recovered by quite a lot. Not to mention, he had always been the strongest fighter. He definitely wouldn’t be helpless over there. But she couldn’t be sure whether he had returned with this world’s body, or gone back to his body over there.
Besides, putting herself in his shoes, who would want to go back after living a good life? It was the simple truth that going from luxury to hardship was difficult.
Ning Yi thought about what she would do if she were the same as him—forget it, better not think about it.
Before everything truly arrived, she could only do what Captain had done: prepare in every possible way. Otherwise, simply thinking about it would only increase unease and mental exhaustion.
In the end, Gu Cheng’s forces searched across the country, even the world, for a long time, but found no news of Wander.
This person who had drifted outside the world seemed to have truly disappeared from it.
Wander’s club completely gave up. His fans wailed, and many “Wan Shi Ru Yi” shippers cried too.
No one knew what exactly had happened to Wander.
Ning Yi felt sad.
After trying every method he could think of, Gu Cheng also had to admit the guess in his heart.
That person had returned to the place they came from… then what about Ning Yi?
To be honest, Gu Cheng didn’t care that much about whether Wander lived or died. He was naturally cold and dark; the people he cared about were few. He only cared whether Ning Yi would suddenly disappear from this world like him.
Just imagining it made his heart tighten sharply.
But Gu Cheng calmly analysed: if Wander’s dreams had been a warning, then at least Ning Yi had not dreamed yet. Whether it was because of the swapping mechanism, or because of rules he had not yet discovered, Ning Yi and Wander’s situations were not exactly the same.
So Gu Cheng suddenly felt that perhaps the swapping wasn’t entirely a bad thing. Without the swapping mechanism, Ning Yi would have had to bear all of this alone.
At least now, he could intervene—
“But I feel like I dragged you into this,” Ning Yi sighed, her voice a little muffled.
Although after surviving the apocalypse, she had little conscience left and not much sense of morality, Gu Cheng was still different from other people.
Gu Cheng’s work was still busy. He also had to divide his energy to investigate the mechanism between the two of them, follow up on Wander’s situation, and handle the enormous workload of a business emperor.
Fortunately, this was Gu Cheng—a man with powerful spirit and stamina.
“Dragged me into this?” Gu Cheng lightly flicked her forehead and deliberately laughed. “No one in this world can harm me.”
Ning Yi froze for a moment—very good. This eternal, unchanging aura of the strongest king of pretentiousness.
In a way, it also seemed to be one of this world’s spiritual pillars.
But precisely because of this, Ning Yi felt that… just like Ding Ziyue could always remain the pampered light of this world, and Jiang Linyi could always be the love-brained guardian knight who lost all intelligence,
Gu Cheng could also have remained the undefeated emperor of this world, standing above everyone.
Ning Yi and Brother Wan could be called people who had experienced the apocalypse, but none of this originally had anything to do with Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng understood what she meant. He picked up Ning Yi’s hand and kissed it lightly. “If there is love, then it has something to do with me.”
From the moment they began swapping bodies, all of this had something to do with him.
Ning Yi blinked: Ah.
Of course.
Although Gu Cheng sounded relaxed, in reality, he brought Ning Yi with him every day and kept her close.
Now the entire A City business circle knew that Young Master Gu and his wife were practically inseparable, showing affection every day.
Every morning after Gu Cheng got up, he would shake Ning Yi awake, patiently wait for her whole system to boot up, then take her to the company with him. When Gu Cheng went to meetings, Ning Yi would lie in his office, using his computer to write code, make programs, and think about the game she wanted to create in the future.
The whole CEO’s office said Young Master and Madam were now in their sticky-sweet honeymoon phase!
Assistant Zhou thought: Who says smooth love isn’t good? Does everything have to be like that certain princess’s online marketing? Gu de Mo Ning is the sweetest!
—The world continued running normally.
No one knew what Gu Cheng and Ning Yi were thinking.
Ning Yi was wondering why she still hadn’t swapped into Gu Cheng’s memories.
Gu Cheng had had two dreams. Although he didn’t say it clearly in front of her, based on scattered details, he could already roughly understand the whole situation.
But Ning Yi still hadn’t dreamed.
Was this a good thing, or a bad thing?
After working all day, at night, the two of them lay side by side in bed.
Ning Yi thought: Let’s try.
But in the latter half of the night, it was Gu Cheng who woke from a dream again.
This time, he dreamed even more.
Savage humans. Terrifying images. Shortages of everything.
Noise. Fear. Hunger. …
They were still fragmented scenes. Although he remembered them from a first-person perspective, he still could not truly feel what she had felt.
Gu Cheng knew that no matter how much he dreamed, it still could not compare to everything she had personally experienced back then.
Only Ning Yi herself knew how long she had endured.
Ning Yi, however, still woke from a deep, quiet sleep without receiving any fragments of Gu Cheng’s memories. She couldn’t help feeling a little frustrated.
But Gu Cheng had already pulled her tightly into his arms again, his voice slightly hoarse. “Back then… it must have been painful.”
That feeling of heartache yet complete helplessness was somewhat unfamiliar to the all-powerful Young Master Gu. And within that unfamiliarity, a trace of bewilderment emerged.
Ning Yi lifted her head and kissed his jaw. “It’s fine. I don’t remember it anymore.”
Of course, she wasn’t some great person, so she never praised suffering, nor did she remember suffering.
Besides, Gu Cheng’s life hadn’t been smooth either. His legendary life as a business emperor had also contained hardships ordinary people could never endure.
So as long as you held on and survived, you looked forward.
Look—wasn’t there such a big husband waiting in front of Ning Yi now?
After a long while, Gu Cheng sighed softly. “It would’ve been better if I’d met you earlier.”
He was many years too late.
But Ning Yi suddenly remembered the scene when they first met, and even in this dim night, she couldn’t help laughing.
In that situation, it would have been hard to fall in love with each other, right? She had still been holding a needle.
At that time, the fallen business emperor had just gained a sliver of light from the darkness, and his whole person had been gloomy, cold, and heavy.
Gu Cheng remembered too—after that meeting, for quite a long time, he and Ning Yi had been “loving and killing” each other.
There were many, many stories in between.
So the two of them lay on the mattress Ning Yi had bought for hundreds of thousands just to mess with him, hugging and laughing for a while.
It was a rare moment of ease since the random swapping became unstable and Brother Wan’s incident happened.
Gu Cheng pinched her cheek.
Actually, Ning Yi was already extremely stable and strong, but because she carried hidden worries in her heart, even her recent smiles hadn’t felt fully settled.
After dreaming some of her memories, the softness of Ning Yi’s cheeks had become one of Gu Cheng’s sources of security.
“Think about our New Year plan,” Gu Cheng said.
Ning Yi’s mouth was pinched into a pout, and she remembered the first item on their New Year plan: overcome all difficulties and love each other properly.
Young Master Gu was strictly carrying it out, with the determination to give everything for it.
Ning Yi looked at Gu Cheng and suddenly felt emotional. “Honey, I never used to think you were this gentle.”
Gu Cheng raised a brow. “Then what did you think I was like before?”
Ning Yi politely swallowed the words “scheming old fox” and zipped her mouth shut.
A faint smile flashed through Gu Cheng’s eyes. He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the zipper.
“Sleep.”
“Oh.”
Ning Yi lay with her eyes closed for a while.
The night was quiet.
But Ning Yi secretly opened her eyes again. “But I still haven’t dreamed your memories, honey.”
This random swapping was way too random. All three times, Gu Cheng had swapped into her memories, yet Ning Yi hadn’t dreamed once.
It didn’t seem very reasonable.
Gu Cheng raised his hand and brushed over her long eyelashes, making her close her eyes and sleep obediently. “…It’s better if you don’t dream.”
If what they exchanged were all painful, terrible memories like this, then Gu Cheng didn’t want Ning Yi to receive any more.
She had already been strong enough to appear before him so brightly.
Gu Cheng only hated that he hadn’t been there.
That he couldn’t understand the suffering she had endured.
After Ding Ziyue showed off wildly in front of Ning Yi that time, she began heavily promoting her wedding across the entire internet.
“Our Yueyue, after suffering so much, has finally welcomed the most important day of her life!”
“I’m sure everyone knows how much Yueyue has suffered since childhood, how many grievances she has endured! As her family, we truly saw it all and felt pain in our hearts…”
The first step of Princess Ding’s wedding warm-up was having Ding Ziyue’s family, led by Ding Yusen, come out and give emotional speeches to move netizens.
Her marketing team had become very mature. They pushed promotional articles across the whole internet, making the scale of this campaign even grander than when they marketed her as the Goddess of Light!
They aimed to completely remove the “Goddess of Light” label from Ding Ziyue, leaving only “the person most deserving of happiness in the world,” “the most pampered girl in the world,” and “the girl all girls want to become.”
Netizens also lived up to expectations and came to watch. Listening to the heartfelt speeches from the Ding family in the video, they couldn’t help remembering the true-and-fake-heiress background drama between Ding Ziyue and their Sister Ning.
[Um, to be fair, if we’re talking about suffering, wasn’t it Sister Ning who suffered more? Princess Ding seems to have lived in a wealthy family the whole time.]
[Wuwuwu yes, our Sister Ning is the one who suffered hardship and finally became a big shot! My one and only sister!]
[Everyone, don’t misunderstand. Yueyue’s brother mainly means that Yueyue and Jiang Linyi’s love went through many twists and turns, haha. What suffering did Gu Cheng and Ning Yi’s love have? Princess Ding and Film Emperor Jiang’s love is much more profound.]
Ding Ziyue’s paid commenters attacked from all sides. In order to create a wedding atmosphere that would move hundreds of millions of netizens to tears, they heavily promoted how difficult the couple’s love had been—
[During the time Yueyue lost her memory, I can’t even imagine how much pain and suffering she felt inside, and how tormented and heartbroken the Film Emperor was!]
[So touching, I’m about to cry [heart]]
[A strong girl like Yueyue truly deserves all the beauty and pampering in the world [heart]]
…
[The paid-commenter smell upstairs is way too strong!]
[Even the Film Emperor’s fans can’t control the comments as well as Princess Ding hahahaha.]
However, after experiencing social death and cyberbullying, Ding Ziyue’s eyes had already cultivated the divine skill of only seeing good comments and ignoring bad ones.
So she shed tears of self-moved emotion: That’s right. I’m exactly this pitiful, so I deserve all of this!
[@Ding Ziyue: @Ding Yusen, thank you to my beloved family for giving me the most important encouragement and care. On X month X day, Brother Linyi and I will enter the sacred hall of marriage. When the time comes, we’ll livestream it online for everyone. Each and every one of you can become a witness to our love~ [heart][tears]]
When netizens saw this setup, they immediately spammed 666.
[Cough, then let me just say this—can my Good Morning CP also get a wedding make-up?]
[Hahaha Good Morning, I won’t say who that is. Also, let me dream too QAQ]
[Wuwuwu, Wan Shi Ru Yi is already BE. Gu de Mo Ning, stand up! Don’t force me to kneel and beg you!]
Ding Ziyue: Hahaha! Stop dreaming!
Young Master Gu had no intention of making up a wedding for Ning Yi, okay!
Just obediently come witness my pampered life~! Especially Ning Yi—
They had been competing for so long. This time, she had to let Ning Yi personally feel her happiness!
Gu Cheng and Ning Yi didn’t pay much attention to Ding Ziyue’s movements.
After all, the things they needed to focus on were much more important than Ding Ziyue.
Only Assistant Zhou, Gu de Mo Ning’s strongest frontline CP fan, kept up in real time with yet another big online move from the Goddess of Light. Assistant Zhou thought: Haha, you know nothing about our Young Master’s preparations.
Young Master would never do things as flamboyantly as the Ding family. His preparations had already begun long ago, and even Madam herself didn’t know.
Recently, Young Master had indeed been busy with certain matters, and his expression had become even gloomier. Yet whenever he took time to prepare those things, his brows would carry a rare hint of relaxation.
Assistant Zhou could only secretly savour this sweet-and-sour sugar alone.
Gu Cheng had no idea what his serious, professional assistant was thinking.
After finishing his meeting, he returned from the conference room to the CEO’s office.
And found that Ning Yi wasn’t there.
Recently, the two of them had practically been tied together. To avoid any uncontrollable random changes from the swapping mechanism, Gu Cheng needed to be able to see her at all times.
“Where is Madam?” Gu Cheng turned and asked Wang Wu.
Wang Wu lowered his head. “Madam seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Song Yan to take her to that place from last time.”
Gu Cheng’s brow twitched.
At this moment, Ning Yi was at Wander’s home.
While writing code earlier, she had suddenly thought of something: back in the apocalypse, she had been responsible for their team’s communications, and the technology there was more advanced than in this brainless world. If Brother Wan had really been pulled back to the apocalypse, it meant there was a passage between the two worlds. Then was it possible for Brother Wan to build contact with this side again?
It was only a guess, and the possibility probably wasn’t high. But Ning Yi felt that even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of reaching Brother Wan, it was worth trying. So she asked Song Yan to take her back to Brother Wan’s residence.
The things he had brought from the apocalypse were stored in a box under his gaming desk. Ning Yi actually found one of their old communication devices inside.
This should have been something brought over with Captain Wan. After he left, it remained in this world. Then what time point had Brother Wan returned to?
As Ning Yi thought, she fiddled with it for a while, trying to find a signal.
In the end, she simply ran to the rooftop to search.
At this moment, Song Yan, who had been guarding the stairwell, received orders and led people into the apartment.
“Young Master, Madam isn’t inside. Sorry! We’ll search immediately.”
Gu Cheng hung up the earpiece, his face cold and heavy. “Drive faster.”
The driver in front: “Yes!”
Ning Yi leaned against the rooftop and fiddled with the device for a while.
But she realised it really wasn’t that simple. Perhaps if this problem were so easy to solve, Brother Wan would have done it long ago.
Ning Yi placed the device aside and leaned back slightly, a little tired.
The wind on the rooftop was strong.
Light covered her body, making her seem almost transparent.
Ning Yi had only been standing in the wind for two seconds when a powerful force pulled her down from the rooftop.
Gu Cheng’s breathing and heartbeat echoed around them.
The instant he rushed onto the rooftop, he thought she was about to be pulled out of this world too.
The arms Gu Cheng held her with were even trembling slightly.
At that exact moment, their emotions happened to swap.
So Ning Yi felt his—
Fear.
That was the fear in the heart of the most powerful man in this world.
Whether Gu Cheng’s body had been trapped in a vegetative state, or when he had sat in a wheelchair not knowing when his legs would recover, or when… the swapping mechanism became more and more unstable, showing sharper and sharper signs—
Gu Cheng had never been afraid. He was gloomy, but he had supported her with steady strength.
Yet at this moment, Ning Yi clearly felt it.
So Gu Cheng wasn’t forever fearless after all.
He was afraid of loss.
Gu Cheng’s arms held Ning Yi tightly and firmly, the embrace almost airtight.
Ning Yi felt his heartbeat.
Then she suddenly heard Gu Cheng speak by her ear.
“A Yi, let’s get married.”
Formally.
Seriously.
Without missing a single detail.
Before all unknown fears could arrive—let’s get married. Let’s be together forever.
Ning Yi froze slightly, then hugged him back. “Okay, honey.”
A married couple officially getting married—
That was way too cool, Gu Cheng.
She really liked it.
Young Master Gu was unstoppable.
A wedding was actually an extremely complicated matter: the banquet venue, wedding planning company, design studio, wedding dress, and so on… everything had to be booked in advance, then slowly waited for and pushed forward over a long period.
Gu Cheng had originally wanted to prepare more thoroughly, to make everything perfect. Even spending an entire year preparing wouldn’t have been excessive.
But the unseen force was pushing them forward. The swapping happened in the morning, at dusk, at every moment they couldn’t predict, deepening and intertwining.
So Gu Cheng decided to do it first.
He would use his power in this world to crush everything in the way.
And the ones being crushed…
The only family in the city currently preparing joyfully for a wedding was the Ding family.
Because they hadn’t successfully chosen the right side a year ago, and because that old fool Gu Zhisong was truly useless, the Ding family’s development over the past year had not been good under Young Master Gu’s suppression.
But Ding Ziyue was their precious darling, their treasured pearl. For something as important as her wedding, it naturally had to be grand and glorious!
Ding Ziyue’s marketing team, along with Jiang Linyi’s management team, had made detailed plans for this wedding. As long as nothing unexpected happened, Ding Ziyue would definitely become the most glamorous bride envied by the entire wealthy circle and even the whole internet!
[Mm-hmm, Xiaoman, you must be my bridesmaids then.]
[Zheli~ Last time I was cyberbullied, you even came to visit me. I was so touched. Although you haven’t had the chance to hold a wedding, my happiness can be passed on to you!]
[Thank you everyone for your blessings. Everyone must come witness it when the time comes!]
Every day, Ding Ziyue happily replied to messages in the wealthy circle. Then she turned and saw Ding Yusen finish a phone call, so she asked smugly:
“Brother, did we get the booking slot for that top wedding studio?”
It was only because of the Film Emperor and her status as a Ding family heiress that they had barely managed to get in line!
Yet Ding Yusen somehow looked troubled. “Someone was suddenly placed ahead of us…”
Ding Ziyue shot up. “Who?!”
Wedding studio: Sorry, someone gave too much.
Ding Ziyue was extremely upset, but this wasn’t the end.
“What?!”
“What about that top foreign private handmade wedding dress designer? Didn’t you say he had time to custom-make mine?!”
His production cycle was extremely long. He could only make one dress in several months, and his schedule had long been full.
“Someone else was suddenly inserted ahead…”
Handmade designer: Sorry, someone gave too much.
Ding Ziyue: “?!!”
Who had that kind of power? How could they just parachute in like that?
Were they royalty?!
Ding Ziyue: “Who exactly is it?!”
Ding Yusen: “It’s Gu Cheng.”
But Ding Ziyue’s ears automatically translated: “It’s Ning Yi, right?!”
Ding Ziyue was about to break down again.
She actually ran into Ning Yi outside the studio!
Ding Ziyue: *(why)* *(my mental state is clearly fine)* *(running)* *(twisting)* *(screaming)*
“Ning Yi, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!” Ding Ziyue pointed at her, her finger trembling. “Why do you have to fight me for everything? Can’t you stop being so competitive?”
Before Ning Yi could speak, Gu Cheng had already walked out.
He glanced at her. “I’m competitive. Do you have a problem with that?”
Ding Ziyue: “…”
Ning Yi looked at Ding Ziyue, pointed at Gu Cheng, and gave her a look that said *please understand*. “Sorry about that.”
Then Gu Cheng wrapped an arm around her and led her away.
Ding Ziyue beautifully broke down on the spot.
Was there no end to this? Was there no end?!
Can you not spoil her right in front of me? My mental state is really fragile!
Ding Ziyue ran off in collapse. “Ning Yi, I hate you!”
She ran away clutching her head, while Ning Yi even felt a little fondness in her heart: she didn’t hate Princess Ding at all. In fact, she very much hoped Ding Ziyue would stay this energetic forever.
Ning Yi cautiously said, “Honey, aren’t we being a little unethical?”
Gu Cheng took her hand. “Not important.”
To him, only Ning Yi mattered.
And so, for some reason, Princess Ding Ding’s full-internet wedding warm-up slowed down.
Netizens were still waiting to see how she would show off her wedding dress and venue, but unexpectedly, they were suddenly hit with a huge piece of gossip—
Because Ning Yi suddenly posted an update!
[@Ning Yi: Preparing.]
This was the first private post ever on big-shot 01’s personal profile!
Millions of followers and all kinds of gossip-loving netizens instantly rushed over. No marketing was needed—the traffic naturally exploded.
[Ahhhh, holy crap, sudden resurrection?!]
[Ahhhh, what is Sister Ning preparing?!]
[Holy crap, why do I smell major gossip/major sweetness?]
[At this moment, if a certain Young Master reposts this, then that means—]
And that certain Young Master didn’t just repost it.
All three of his verified CMore accounts reposted it.
[@No. 8888888: Ready.]
[@No. 52000001: Ready.]
[@No. 015201314: Ready.]
This time, the entire internet truly exploded.
[Holy crap, Young Master Gu has never posted anything before!]
[Wild joy! Losing my mind! Is Gu de Mo Ning about to give us sugar?!]
[The wedding definitely hasn’t happened yet, so is this a proposal?!]
[Holy crap, possible! I really want to know what a proposal from a man like Young Master Gu would look like ahhh!]
[Why isn’t it livestreamed like the Goddess of Light’s wedding, wuwuwu? Isn’t this too distant? What is there that we can’t watch ahhhh?]
…
Among the wildly dancing fans were a small group of sad, tearful netizens:
[Wuwuwu, Brother Wan, did you see this?]
[Brother Wan, if you’re still here, come out and type 1 qaq]
[Sister Ning is your best friend. You definitely want her to be happy too, wuwuwu]
The whole internet was in turmoil.
And under this moonlit night, Gu Cheng and Ning Yi quietly welcomed this important moment—
A married couple getting married, starting with a proposal.
Gu Cheng’s proposal location was very special.
Compared with the luxury and grandeur of the wedding preparations, the proposal location he chose was truly one of a kind.
—It was the room where the two of them first met. More precisely, the hospital room where Gu Cheng had lain as a vegetative patient for three years.
Here was the bed where Gu Cheng had lain for three years—the “hotel king bed” Ning Yi had used countless times after transmigrating into Gu Cheng’s body.
And there was the wheelchair Gu Cheng had sat in for a long time—before his legs recovered, Ning Yi had also sat in it countless times after swapping bodies.
Aside from that, there were roses and diamonds scattered everywhere.
Everything was far too special. Perhaps only the two people involved could understand the meaning behind it.
From the moment Ning Yi stepped into the room, she began smiling. There were too many memories, every single one rushing back to her heart.
So why did memory-swapping only choose the painful ones? Those painful memories were all from before they met.
After they met, what a vivid and interesting life it had been—
Their meeting began at this hospital bed, then continued with that wheelchair, and finally they stood side by side.
He said—
“A Yi, marry me.”
Gu Cheng wore a black suit, holding deep red roses as he knelt on one knee.
His dark eyes held a smile.
Those unstable, uncertain factors still hung over their heads. But in this moment, just this moment, they both pushed down all their worries and simply looked at each other, smiling.
Ning Yi thought, no wonder people always looked forward to weddings so much—because saying “I do” really did make people happy.
Gu Cheng was smiling too, then took out the rings again.
This time, they solemnly exchanged rings.
Solemnly exchanged embraces.
Solemnly exchanged kisses.
Exchanged—
Their heads began to ache, but they still completed this beautiful moment.
The swapping mechanism seemed to have finally deepened almost to its limit. At this moment, it was enough to move a person to tears, yet also enough to make their head split with pain.
Ning Yi hugged Gu Cheng tightly. “Honey—honey, honey.”
She admitted that when she had first transmigrated, the first time she called Gu Cheng “honey” had been full of false meaning. But now, every call was sincere.
Gu Cheng closed his eyes. “I’m here.”
He had come late.
But he would be here.
A wind blew from somewhere. The swapping mechanism deepened further, and everything around them seemed to blur and sway.
Within their embrace, their bodies began rapidly switching back and forth.
Fragments of memories churned endlessly in their minds: the apocalypse Ning Yi had lived through, her struggling and humiliating hardships, and countless pitch-black fragments… shifting and merging.
Until finally—it seemed they could no longer tell whose body they were in, yet a clear awareness of impending separation descended.
No one knew where body-swapping, deepened to its extreme, would lead.
At the final moment, Gu Cheng gripped Ning Yi’s hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid—wait for me—”
Ning Yi closed her eyes.
Okay.
Ning Yi didn’t know how long her eyes had been closed before she slowly opened them.
Then she looked ahead and fell silent for a moment.
She closed her eyes again, then opened them.
Still, there was only darkness.
…Darkness. Absolute silence.
As if she had lost all senses, leaving only endless blackness and endless time.
But Ning Yi’s mind suddenly began running wildly, as if a spark of realization flashed through the dark. At that moment, Ning Yi finally understood something—
Why, after the memory exchange, only Gu Cheng dreamed, while she did not.
Why her dreams had always been dark and peaceful.
Because—that was Gu Cheng’s memory—!!
That was the three years after he became a vegetative patient, when he lost his senses, lost all contact with the outside world, and struggled in the darkness to keep his mind awake.
All of the memory was nothing but pitch-black.
And now, Ning Yi lay in Gu Cheng’s body, within this endless darkness, and fully understood where the swapping’s endpoint was.
After exchanging bodies.
Exchanging emotions.
Exchanging memories.
Even after the deepest bodily interaction…
The most extreme exchange was that they had swapped into each other’s three years.
At the same moment.
Gu Cheng slowly opened his eyes.
Someone shoved something into his hand. He lowered his head and saw a grape drawn on it.
—“01, drink it quickly.”
Gu Cheng raised his head.
The man turned away, a silver earring flashing past.
“They’re coming.”
**Nomad: This is just getting better and better**
