After Transmigrating as the "Green Tea" Fake Heiress, I Got My Happy Ending with the Real Heiress - Chapter 56

Chapter 56

In Anxialing Village at the end of June, although the mountain forests shielded the summer heat, the cicadas had begun to chirp, and the lotus flowers planted by the villagers in the mountain ponds bloomed one after another.

Returning to her hometown after the scores came out was a wish Ruan Yu had mentioned before. Even though her grandparents had already heard her scores at the celebration banquet, she still wanted to go back and look around.

From her aunt’s tone, once they moved to C City, they would surely enter a new phase of busyness. Ruan Yu didn’t know if they’d have time to return during the winter or summer holidays.

While Ruan Yu and her grandparents were packing old belongings, Wen Yun walked alone along the field paths and arrived at the temple gates before noon.

Since the monks’ morning chanting hadn’t finished, she stood quietly under the shade of a tree, nervously fidgeting with her phone.

After seeing He Sheng off that day, she suddenly remembered that Master Huicheng had once said that if she became entangled in unrelated karma, she would have one chance to withdraw. However, she felt she had already voluntarily refused that chance before the Space-Time Administration Bureau’s “judgment” arrived.

The so-called “withdrawal” likely meant leaving this world and returning to her own.

That evening, she tried asking the System.

“The Host’s guess is correct. There was indeed supposed to be such a choice segment,” the System, now implanted with He Sheng’s attributes, explained seriously. “But if the Host shows a strong desire to stay, and also meets the conditions to stay, the administrator will assume you chose not to leave—after all, it’s pointless to ask a question for which a clear answer has already been determined.”

After receiving the System’s explanation, Wen Yun increasingly felt that Master Huicheng was a true recluse and expert. If she ever lost both the System and her direction, she might be able to seek guidance from this master.

So, her specific reason for coming today was actually to ask for his contact information.

When Master Huicheng came out and saw her, he didn’t seem surprised at all and politely invited her to the guest room for tea.

“Benefactor Wen’s facial features seem to have changed again,” he said unhurriedly. “Though I don’t know what happened, this humble monk believes it is a good thing.”

“You are right,” Wen Yun nodded firmly, then said somewhat awkwardly, “But I willingly gave up that chance to withdraw. Recalling your previous warning that doing so might lead to hardship and constant struggle, I feel uneasy and came back to ask you about it.”

After listening, Master Huicheng carefully examined her, frowning slightly: “Pardon my bluntness, but Benefactor Wen may need to change her name, moving from the refined to the common, returning to the vast multitude of people, to avoid misfortune.”

Wen Yun was startled. Wasn’t that essentially telling her to change her current name, Wen Yun (韻), back to her original Wen Yun (芸)?

“That’s no problem,” she nodded. While she couldn’t help but wonder if this monk was also an administrator’s incarnation, she continued to ask, “Do you have any other advice?”

“Do not fall out with those close to you who have good intentions,” Master Huicheng said. “If they stray onto the wrong path, you should guide them, not alienate them.”

These words immediately made Wen Yun think of Lin Qiqi, and she was startled again.

If she hadn’t chosen to engage Lin Qiqi when she first transmigrated, but instead had chosen to reject her, would the events she had experienced since then have taken a different turn?

But before she could ask anything further, Master Huicheng pressed his palms together and uttered a Buddhist invocation: “Amitābha. My words end here. Benefactor Wen, please return after drinking this cup of tea.”

…This was likely a subtle indication that “Heaven’s secrets cannot be divulged.”

Wen Yun didn’t press further or ask for contact information. She obediently finished the tea, thanked him, and rose to leave the guest room. As she passed the Maitreya Buddha, she even bought three sticks of incense to offer.

When she returned to the Ruan house, Ruan Yu had already packed the things she planned to take to C City into suitcases. Seeing her return, Ruan Yu smiled and asked, “How was it? Did you see Master Huicheng?”

Due to the local custom of Anxialing Village, Wen Yun had specifically told Ruan Yu where she was going before leaving.

But when asked now, she felt confused. She vaguely remembered that she was indeed going to ask Master Huicheng some questions, but those questions now had clear answers in her heart.

She carefully recalled the recent memory and, after a few seconds of hesitation, shook her head: “Master Huicheng wasn’t there today. I just offered incense to the Maitreya Buddha and came back.”

“Is that so?” Ruan Yu glanced at her in surprise and smoothly zipped up a suitcase. “I’ve packed all my things. After we tidy up the rest of the house and your gifts, we can contact the shipping company.”

When she mentioned “gifts,” Wen Yun immediately remembered what had happened on her birthday night and responded with a blush.

For the sake of Affection, she had not only given Ruan Yu the drawing she personally completed, but also spent a large amount of Tea-ness from the Mall to exchange for a pair of couple’s necklaces with a special meaning: the Möbius strip.

—The starting point is you, and the ending point is also you.

Wen Yun was past the age of believing in “infinite love,” but she ultimately chose this symbol as the default for their love. She also wanted to learn to spend her life loving the one person she trusted completely.

As soon as she gave the gift, she found that Ruan Yu’s Affection value instantly surged past 18000+ and was still rising!

She was overjoyed. Before she could offer her congratulations to Ruan Yu, a kiss suddenly landed on her face.

Wen Yun was still thinking about the events of a few days ago when she suddenly felt the chain of the Möbius strip around her neck being touched. Coming back to reality, she saw Ruan Yu pinching the silver ring between her fingers, her eyes glinting with mischief.

“I never noticed before, you get embarrassed so easily,” she said, then lowered her head to kiss the Möbius strip. She then leaned closer and kissed Wen Yun’s cheek, offering a devilish whisper of a critique: “So hot.”

Wen Yun: “…”

Her expression froze for a few seconds before she regained her composure: “You kissed me again?!”

“I don’t know why, but I suddenly wanted to kiss you. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?” Ruan Yu countered, mimicking her ‘green tea talk’.

“Stop it, stop it!” Wen Yun instantly covered her flushed face. “Oh, I didn’t mean to refuse! It’s just, just…”

It was just that after being single for so many years, being hugged, embraced, and kissed by someone she was intimately familiar with and had always taken care of required her to do some serious mental preparation.

Before she could finish her thoughts, another light kiss landed on her ear.

“That’s good then.”

The girl laughed softly next to her ear but stopped there, having achieved her goal. Like a practical joke, she squeezed the ear that was warming up before temporarily letting her off the hook.

The day after receiving the C-Finance acceptance letter, Wen Yun and Ruan Yu took the tuxedo cat and headed to their apartment in C City.

This flight allowed pets in the cabin. Before the plane took off, Wen Yun exchanged the newly available “Anti-Disturbance Cat” item from the Mall, applying it to the surface of the pet carrier to ensure the cat didn’t disturb other passengers while also allowing them to respond to the cat’s needs promptly.

After nearly three hours of travel, they finally arrived at the door of the apartment Ruan Ruilin had rented. Using the key card given by Ruan Ruilin’s assistant, they entered. When Wen Yun pulled back the curtains, she was stunned by the view outside the window.

The apartment’s location was unique. Across a large river and a small patch of woods was an amusement park. A giant silver Ferris wheel turned slowly, and a medieval-style, spired castle stood behind it.

“…Is this really a rental apartment?” Wen Yun, who had frequently rented apartments in her past life, couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m not sure, but Auntie said it is, so let’s just treat it that way,” Ruan Yu shook her head, putting down the suitcases and pet carrier, and began to tidy up the house.

The apartment was immaculate, with hardly any dust on the floor. It had clearly been thoroughly cleaned before their arrival. There was also a separate small room reserved for the cat, fully equipped with a cat bed, bowls, and a litter box. Various styles of cat trees were placed in the small room and the living room.

Tidying up didn’t take much time; they simply had to categorize and place the items they brought into the various cabinets. Instead, trying to comfort the cat and help it adapt to the new environment took most of their effort. In the end, the cat still chose to squeeze into the narrow utility room and refused to come out.

Wen Yun currently had no Tea-ness to exchange for an item that would instantly help the cat adapt, so she gave up: “Let it stay there for now. Once it adapts, we’ll clean out the utility room.”

For their first dinner in the new home, Wen Yun insisted on ordering takeout.

The long journey, organizing, and comforting the cat were simply too exhausting. They also had to adapt to C-City’s new environment and high-alkaline tap water. She didn’t want them to have to buy groceries and cook while physically and mentally drained.

Ruan Yu was nestled in a hanging rattan chair, resting with the Lenai Bear, Little Ruiji, and had no objection. But by the time the takeout arrived, she had already fallen asleep against the bear.

Wen Yun couldn’t bear to wake her. She placed a thin blanket over her, put Ruan Yu’s portion of the takeout in a pot to keep warm, and only then began to eat.

After the rush of the first day and two or three days of rest and adjustment, they quickly adapted to the northern climate, which was different from the southeastern coastal cities.

The tuxedo cat, after nesting in the utility room for a few days, finally became willing to enter its own room and use the unfamiliar implements for eating, drinking, and relieving itself.

The carefree, leisurely life lasted for about a week. Ruan Ruilin called to remind them that they could report to the company to begin their internship.

If it weren’t for the fact that anything was possible in a book world, Wen Yun would never have imagined being assigned a job right after high school graduation, and one with a decent salary, at that.

Due to their different areas of expertise, they were assigned to different roles. However, their offices were only a corridor apart, making it very easy to see each other.

Ruan Ruilin initially only favored Ruan Yu and wasn’t very fond of Wen Yun, who had been pampered by a wealthy family.

But she never expected that this girl, at such a young age, would be so proficient and decisive in her work. She quickly prioritized complex tasks, and her efficiency and professionalism were comparable to some veteran employees.

By the second month of the internship, Wen Yun, who had been a corporate worker for many years, acutely felt that her tasks seemed to have become heavier. But unlike the useless and time-consuming bad projects she dealt with in her past life, these projects provided her with a wealth of feedback. It was no exaggeration to say they opened the door to a new world for her.

Furthermore, her salary was also increasing, which was the most important thing.

So, every day, she embraced the pain and passion, inputting as much knowledge as possible during her most energetic phase. This way, she could take fewer detours in the future and get promoted sooner.

Although the work intensity and pressure were less than that of the college entrance exam, she still only wanted to collapse, play games, watch dramas and read novels, and play with the two cats at home after returning every day.

As for why there were two cats…

Wen Yun felt that the adult Ruan Yu was simply too clingy and loved to act spoiled. Yet, she was also completely healed by the other girl, feeling as if the stress would melt away just by hugging and snuggling with her “Cat Ruan” after returning home exhausted.

However, she had completely forgotten that she had always been the more oblivious one in this relationship. She had only intended to snuggle the “cat” to relieve stress, but after a period of hugging and embracing, Ruan Yu suddenly placed a small box solemnly in her hand, looking at her with expectant eyes.

“What is this?” Wen Yun lowered her head in confusion. When she saw the letters “LES” on the box, her brain, which had been buzzing with question marks, instantly crashed.
