Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 399 Parallel World (1)

His resistance and grievance were written all over his face, so Yan Zhen had no choice but to give up: "Never mind then."

Jing Chen: "..."

He angrily turned and left.

The door to the document storage room opened and closed, and Jingchen's figure disappeared behind the door.

Yan Zhen leaned against the filing cabinet and let out a sigh of regret.

Pity.

She really liked Jing Chen's body.

After a while, Yan Zhen took out her phone to use as a mirror to check her makeup.

After confirming that her lipstick hadn't been smudged by the brief kiss, Yan Zhen tidied her hair, opened the door, and went outside.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the document storage room, she paused—Jing Chen hadn't left; he was leaning against the corridor wall, staring at her intently.

Yan Zhen: "..."

Could it be that he was rejected in love and felt insulted, so he wanted to fight me?

Just as Yan Zhen had this thought, Jing Chen took two steps toward her.

She forced herself to refrain from immediately adopting a defensive stance.

"...Can you just tell Zhou Yanqing?" Jing Chen asked in a low voice, his expression indescribably conflicted.

Yan Zhen was taken aback: "...Huh?"

Jing Chen observed her reaction, thinking she disagreed, and immediately changed his mind: "If you don't agree, then forget it, I won't tell anyone."

Yan Zhen: "..."

"Well, that's settled then. I'll go back to the repair room first and come find you later."

After Jing Chen finished speaking, he turned around and quickened his pace to leave.

Yan Zhen didn't realize what was happening until he was far away. She turned her head and asked Xiao Qi, who was perched on her shoulder, "Does this mean... he agrees to keep their relationship secret?"

Xiaoqi was also dumbfounded: "Shouldn't it be?"

The man and the bird exchanged a glance; the man's expression was strange, while the bird's superior demeanor shattered upon seeing the mirror.

I never expected him to be such a powerful god!

Back in her office, Yan Zhen kicked off her high heels, lay down on the bed without a care in the world, and quickly fell asleep.

On the other side, in the God's office.

After finishing the meeting, Zhou Yanqing pushed open the office door and found that Jing Chen had returned, slumped on the sofa with an unseemly posture and a rather... indescribable expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yanqing asked. He walked behind his desk, sat down, and casually put the meeting minutes into a folder.

Jing Chen snapped out of his reverie, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "There's something I want to ask you. I have a friend who confessed to a girl he likes, and she agreed, saying they can be together, but they can't make their relationship public... What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Yanqing immediately composed herself and sat up straight: "Hmm? Did I laugh?"

You smiled!

"Oh, I just remembered a corny joke my girlfriend told," Zhou Yanqing said seriously. "Go on, and then what?"

Jing Chen then continued, "Is she against making it public because she thinks I'm not good enough as a friend?"

Zhou Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, it might just be a lack of security."

"Feeling insecure?"

“Yes, insecurity usually comes down to two reasons: either you lack confidence in your friend and think the relationship won’t last, or you lack confidence in her and think she can’t stay committed forever,” Zhou Yanqing analyzed. “She’s leaving room for your friend, herself, and the relationship.”

Jing Chen frowned: "Then... cough, what should my friend do to dispel her concerns?"

Zhou Yanqing thought for a moment and said, "I suggest we let nature take its course."

"Let nature take its course?"

"For a strong, intelligent, and calm person, deliberately trying to please or flatter will only backfire. When dealing with such a person, it is better to go with the flow and show your most authentic self."

Jing Chen seemed to understand but not quite: "Then... friend, don't I need to do anything?"

"Respect her wishes, and don't force her."

"Don't force it..." Jing Chen asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Some people are unwilling to enter into a stable relationship because they are too insightful about people's hearts and know the inherent human tendency to be fickle and easily bored.

These people don't believe that people can remain faithful forever, especially for those of us who can live a long time in a spiritual state. Seeking eternity in love is like trying to find a sword by marking a boat on the flowing river of time. If one day she proposes a breakup, don't pester or force her.

"Oh..." Jing Chen nodded, confused, then realized what he meant and snapped angrily, "It's my friend! Not me!!!"

Zhou Yanqing suppressed a laugh and said, "Oh right, I misspoke, it's your friend."

Jing Chen: "..."

Faced with Zhou Yanqing's mischievous expression that seemed to say, "Never mind, I won't expose you," he felt a chill run down his spine, got up, and fled in a panic.

Yan Zhen only slept for a little over two hours. When he woke up from a jumble of nightmares, it was already evening in the virtual time of the Main God Space.

Everything in this space is virtual, but it simulates the real world with incredible realism.

For example, at this moment, a sliver of sunset sunlight is leaking through the gaps in the blinds. Yan Zhen reaches out to touch it, and the orange light shines on her slender fingers, bringing a gentle warmth.

The sound of Xiao Qi typing on the keyboard reached Yan Zhen's ears. He squinted and didn't get up immediately.

I can't sleep well every time I come back.

She gets irritable when she doesn't sleep well, and she feels more tired and anxious when she wakes up than before she slept.

Everyone in the Quick Transmigration Division said she had a positive attitude towards completing tasks, but only Xiao Qi knew that she just didn't want to go back to the identity of "Yan Zhen".

She's like a deep-sea hermit crab that can only survive by living inside other people's bodies.

Having worked with Yan Zhen for so many years, Xiao Qi was used to her lazy yet somewhat anxious state during breaks between tasks. It asked in a childish voice, "Master, would you like something to eat? I'll order you some food."

"I'm not eating." Yan Zhen closed his eyes and said irritably, "If you talk to me in that voice again, I'll strangle you."

Xiaoqi: "..."

It simply shut up.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The person seemed hesitant, knocking very softly. They knocked twice, paused for two seconds, and then knocked twice more.

Yan Zhen sat up, tidied her hair, and went to open the door.

Outside the door is a mirror.

He glanced around furtively like a thief, making sure no one was watching, then quickly slipped into the office and whispered furtively, "Do you have time? I'll take you somewhere."

Yan Zhen frowned: "Where to?"

"You will know when you go."

Yan Zhen was planning to move on to the next mission as soon as possible, and upon hearing what he said, she instinctively wanted to refuse.

But seeing the expectant look on Jing Chen's face, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her was now her "secret boyfriend," and it was his first time dating.

She has an obligation to be patient and tolerant with newly appointed partners.

Thinking of this, she suppressed her impatience and said, "Fine, let's go."

Jing Chen didn't lead her outside, but instead held her hand.

The next moment, the two of them were surrounded by a bright light, and Yan Zhen felt a slight dizziness and could not see anything.

When she opened her eyes again, she and Jingchen found themselves in a desolate land.
