Chapter 3

After finally getting rid of the curious classmates and bringing Gu Yincheng back to her small apartment, Ye Xuan felt utterly exhausted.

Now, thanks to the commotion caused by Gu Yincheng, tomorrow the entire institute would know that Ye Xuan, the only girl in the Infinite Flow Transmigration Department, was engaged to her mentor!

「Sit down!」 She glared at the man in front of her with irritation.

Gu Yincheng continued to look around, examining the small apartment with a frown. 「How do you live here? This place... it's so shabby.」 Of course, he didn't show any signs of disdain on his face. For an elegant, pure-blooded aristocrat like him, even if he found something unsatisfactory, he wouldn't show it outwardly.

This attitude made Ye Xuan's headache worse. How could this person be Gu Yincheng but behave like Ke Xiu? She found it odd; if Ke Xiu's soul had occupied Gu Yincheng's body, given that person's IQ, he wouldn't be concerned with trivial details after finding himself in a strange world.

The current 「Ke Xiu」 seemed to take his presence here for granted, without any sign of finding it strange.

So Ye Xuan had to ask, 「Are you Ke Xiu?」

The man looked at Ye Xuan coldly and smirked. 「I thought your memory was quite good.」

Indeed, the tone of voice and irritating mannerisms were unmistakably Ke Xiu's. 「Do you know where this place is?」

The man raised an eyebrow and showed a cold smile. Although he didn't speak, Ye Xuan understood the meaning in his eyes—「Do you think I'm an idiot?」 Well, Ye Xuan thought, maybe she was overthinking? The next moment, the calm voice of the man said, 「The Nebula Empire.」

「Ah!」 Ye Xuan was drinking water and spat it out upon hearing this. 「You said... this is the Nebula Empire?!」 Seeing the man show a slightly puzzled expression, Ye Xuan thought, okay, maybe she wasn't overthinking.

「Rest for the night,」 Ye Xuan said as she put down her cup and sighed quietly, 「Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Transmigration Administration.」

「The Transmigration Administration? What is that?」

A place where they can check your brain, Mr. Gu.

At night, Ye Xuan was in a daze, when she suddenly felt someone pushing her.

The apartment only had one bedroom, so she naturally slept in the bed while Gu Yincheng, with Ke Xiu's consciousness, slept on the sofa. She hadn't locked the bedroom door; after all, she had been intimate with Ke Xiu's consciousness countless times before and wasn't worried about him.

So, when she was woken up, Ye Xuan instinctively swatted at the intruder, 「Mr. Gu, it's the middle of the night. Are you trying to keep me awake?」

「Mr. Gu?」 The man said slowly. Gu Yincheng's voice was gentle and deep. For some reason, Ye Xuan suddenly heard a chilling coldness in those three short words. The man's fingertips lightly caressed her brows and eyes, 「Which wild man is that, hmm?」 He leaned in, burying his head in the crook of Ye Xuan's neck, deeply inhaling her fragrance, 「Wife... didn't you promise Ninth Brother to be obedient?」

「Ninth Brother...」 Ye Xuan murmured as she opened her eyes. The man raised his head. It was still Gu Yincheng's face, but the cold eyes she had seen before were now replaced with tender, affectionate eyes that seemed as if they would drown her. No one could see it except Ye Xuan, who knew the madness and obsession hidden beneath that tenderness.
