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

Chapter 674 Dawn (80)

Upon learning that Jing Chen wasn't really planning to get married, Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Jing Chen isn't pushing her away because he's fallen for Lu Tingyun, then everything is fine.

At the same time, Yan Zhen had doubts. Initially, she was persuaded by Zhou Yanqing to come to this world. She thought that Jing Chen wanted to have a large-scale immersive script murder mystery game before he died, to raise her in his ideal way and satisfy some of his little-known quirks.

After all, what she experienced is in the past. Even if Jing Chen restarts this world and raises her in a completely different way, she and Yan Zhen in this world will not become one person.

But now it seems that Jingchen's restart of this world is clearly for other purposes, not just to satisfy his psychological fetish.

His kindness towards her seemed more like a long-term preparation.

What does he want to do?

“I don’t like Qi Yu. You can stop these plans and come back to the Quick Transmigration Division with me,” Yan Zhen concluded. “Let’s go now.”

“Go back yourself, I’m not going back, I’m staying here.” Jing Chen said, mustering his courage to glare at Yan Zhen. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that you had memories? You wasted my time.”

Yan Zhen: "..."

She really wanted to roll up her sleeves and beat Jing Chen up.

What's the point of you staying here?

“It has nothing to do with you.” Jing Chen’s eyes were filled with resentment. “You should leave now. I need to go back in time to find my sister who has no memories, not someone like you…”

Under Yan Zhen's gaze, he didn't dare to say the rest.

Yan Zhen frowned as he looked at Jing Chen, who was squatting on the ground, and his doubts grew stronger.

But the most important thing now is to coax him back to the Quick Transmigration Division.

Once she returns to the Quick Transmigration Division, she will have plenty of time to unravel these questions.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen squatted down in front of Jing Chen and said in a softer voice, "I like you."

Jing Chen was stunned, bewildered by her sudden confession.

“Let’s get back together and go back to the Quick Transmigration Division to live a good life.” Yan Zhen tried his best to make his expression look extremely sincere, “just like before when we were together.”

Unexpectedly, after a long silence, Jing Chen shook his head: "No."

"……Why?"

“We’re not a good match,” Jing Chen said seriously. “Being with me is bothering you.”

"That's not true." Yan Zhen was like a trafficker eager to coax a lone child into a car, showering out sweet words like lollipops. "I'm very happy to be with you, and it's inevitable to have some minor frictions in a relationship. I will adjust my mindset in the future and not say 'break up' so easily."

Jing Chen shook his head again: "No."

As he spoke, he pushed Yan Zhen: "Go, go back to the Quick Transmigration Division."

Yan Zhen grabbed the hand that was pushing him away, gradually becoming impatient: "Jing Chen, what exactly do you want to do? I don't understand, why would you commit suicide when you were perfectly fine, just because I broke up with you? Now I agree to get back together, and I've said I won't break up again, so why are you still unwilling to come back with me!"

Jing Chen withdrew her hand: "Don't listen to Zhou Yanqing's nonsense. I didn't want to commit suicide. As for not agreeing to get back together... it requires your tolerance to achieve peaceful coexistence between the two of us. That's not love. You shouldn't suffer such grievances."

Yan Zhen: "..."

She glanced at Jing Chen, then at the dozens of stories high buildings beyond the waist-high railing, pondering how likely it was that she could simply push Jing Chen off the building and kill him, thus forcibly bringing him back to the Quick Transmigration Division in this way.

Jing Chen saw through her thoughts and immediately hugged the concrete block next to her: "Don't do anything rash!"

Yan Zhen laughed angrily and plopped down next to Jing Chen: "Fine, then I won't go back either. Let's just stay like this. I promised Zhou Yanqing that I would stop you from committing suicide, and I won't leave until I do. As for you, if you leave me here and go back to thirteen years ago, then I don't mind having Zhou Yanqing send me back to thirteen years ago and put on another show with you. Let's see who can outlast whom."

Jing Chen: "..."

He was stunned by Yan Zhen's shamelessness. After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I really didn't want to commit suicide... How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?"

Yan Zhen responded by turning his head to the side and letting out a "humph".

Neither of them could convince the other, so they stood on the rooftop in the sun for half an hour, until Yan Zhen was parched and his head was burning hot.

She habitually kicked Jing Chen: "Brother."

Jing Chen acted faster than he thought, immediately responding with a "Hmm?"

"I want to drink."

Jingchen realized what was happening and said, "There's some downstairs."

"Go pour it out."

Jing Chen: "..."

Seeing that Yan Zhen's cheeks were red from the sun and her eyes were squinting, he couldn't bear to see her suffer like this, so he pulled her up from the ground as he got up.

"Temporary truce, come with me."

Back in the CEO's office, Yan Zhen drank a glass of water and recovered before Jing Chen dismissed him, saying he had a meeting to attend.

After leaving the company, Yan Zhen returned home and, after thinking about it for a long time, decided to ask Zhou Yanqing.

She mentally opened the system panel that had been idle for thirteen years and called out to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi finally logged on after a while, and was pleasantly surprised to see her: "Master, are you coming back?"

"I'm not finished yet, stop talking nonsense and help me contact Zhou Yanqing."

A moment later, Yan Zhen successfully connected to Zhou Yanqing's internal communication channel. She explained the current situation to Zhou Yanqing and got straight to the point: "Zhou Yanqing, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Yanqing remained expressionless: "Why do you ask that?"

“Jing Chen denied wanting to commit suicide; he doesn’t seem to be lying,” Yan Zhen said. “He doesn’t want to come back to the Quick Transmigration Division with me and is even clamoring to go back in time to thirteen years ago. If you don’t want to see me return to the Quick Transmigration Division empty-handed, you’d better share the information you know with me. I need to know what Jing Chen’s purpose is in doing all this.”

Zhou Yanqing carefully considered her words before saying, "Have you ever heard of time overlap?"

Yan Zhen frowned: "Never heard of it, what does it mean?"

"The three thousand worlds created by the Quick Transmigration Division are parallel points scattered on different timelines. They exist simultaneously. Time in the small worlds can be reversed through the Quick Transmigration Division's specific technical means. This is the principle behind how you mission takers can reach a certain time point after entering a small world. However, for things that have already happened, even if time is reversed, the psychological trauma left on the person involved cannot be changed."

Jingchen created a replica of your past life, which is the world you are in now. After altering your predetermined fate, he attempted to completely merge and overlap the replica world he had altered with your original 'past life'. The effects of this overlap will directly affect you in the present.

In other words, the psychological traumas and lingering mental problems you suffered in your past life can be cleared through time overlap, by overwriting them. However, time overlap requires a large amount of mental energy. Mirror's spiritual body is inherently unstable; if he insists on time overlap, he will fall into an indefinite slumber, which is no different from suicide.
