Seeing that she was in low spirits, I suggested, "How about we switch, you return to your body, and maybe I can go home."

"Go home? When the soul leaves the body, doesn't that mean death? Are you really willing to trade with me?"

"Of course I am willing. You have no idea how I have survived the past six months. I don't want to go through a day without a computer, a mobile phone, a flush toilet, or a water heater!" As I spoke, I felt like crying.

"What... are those things you are talking about? I have never heard of them..." She blinked and became curious.

"If only I could show you my home..." The thought suddenly occurred to me, and I recalled my own small apartment.

The scene around me gradually changed, and my eyes widened instantly. Am I back?

Is this a dream? Am I really back?

I laughed excitedly, ran to my favorite little balcony, looked at the city view under the sunset, and couldn't help pinching my cheeks...

It was indeed a dream, it didn’t hurt at all.

When I turned around, I saw Shen Xingye standing behind me in ancient costume. He should have seen the same scenery as me, but his face showed an extremely shocked expression. This made me feel a little proud for some reason. The densely packed skyscrapers and the steel forest covered by neon lights were scenes that ancient people could not imagine.

Back then in the eldest brother of the Shen family’s study, I used charcoal sticks to describe to him the scenes that I used to see every day, so he believed that I was not the same person as before.

"Although I work so hard at the company every day, when I return to my own little nest, I drink some milk tea and watch some TV series, and take a steam bath before going to bed, so that I can have the motivation to continue working hard the next day. You know? Although this loft is not large, I earned it bit by bit by myself, and I have never relied on my family for a penny. At my age, it is already very good to be able to build such a small home in such a big city. I am very satisfied with myself, and I am also... satisfied with the current situation. Even though there is still a lot of room for improvement, I have never thought about occupying another person's life."

As I explained to her, I walked across the living room to look for drinks in the small refrigerator. From what I remembered, there should have been a half-dozen beers there to drink with the DIY barbecue on the weekend.

The beer was still there, but when I poured it into my mouth, I didn't feel any cool or stimulating feeling at all. It was as if my sense of touch and taste were all dysfunctional in my dream.

I sighed and put the beer can aside. "If possible, I really hope that we can go back to our original positions."

"But, there's no going back... I really envy you, please take good care of me..." Before she finished her words, her figure became transparent in front of me, and her voice seemed to be muted. I only saw her lips moving, but I didn't know what she said in the end.

"Hey! No! We can't do this! We didn't agree on this! If you want to leave, take me with you!" I rushed forward and wanted to grab her, but my fingers went straight through her body and I watched her disappear before my eyes.

Then, my living room, balcony... everything disappeared...

Anxiety, anger, and despair made me scream uncontrollably.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Situ Jue's face. He was looking at me worriedly, "You are in a state of terror. No matter how I called you just now, you didn't wake up."

My eyes passed over him and scanned the surrounding environment, so what just happened was really just a dream. I thought I had a chance.

"Xingye, are you okay?" he asked again, then looked up and said to the people outside, "Go and ask Doctor Sun to come over, quickly!"

I feel very complicated now, especially when I'm talking to Situ Jue, I really want to slap him. You said you let go of your old love Bai Yueguang, couldn't you let go earlier? Or when you can't let her go, you shouldn't just marry someone else casually, right? You're wasting time, brother!

"You look unhappy. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He came closer to me and asked about my well-being, his tone gentle.

I lowered my head and propped my forehead with my hands. "Don't talk to me. I'm really annoyed now. I'm annoyed when I see your face and even more annoyed when I hear your voice! Stay away from me! Please!"

He was silent for a moment, as if he took a deep breath before not responding to me on the spot.

I knew that I had gone too far. After all, he was a nobleman who had been raised by others. I guess no one would resist him as ruthlessly as I did. But at this moment, it was difficult for me to control my emotions. I was afraid that I would go crazy and jump up and beat him up to vent my anger.

If he hadn't married a wife and brought her home but hadn't been cold and violent to her all day long, while he was still thinking about his childhood sweetheart who was already married, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

If he can stick to his guns and stick to it until the end, and recognize that Su Mei is his true love, and not even look at other women, I will respect him as a man.

But I had been here for less than a year and he told me that he had nothing to do with Su Mei and that he only recognized me as his wife, both openly and secretly.

Is this a sense of novelty or a rebellious psychology? I really don’t understand!

It was not until Doctor Sun appeared in front of me carrying a medicine box that I realized Situ Jue had gone out.

"Let me take the princess's pulse first..."

"Don't call me princess!" My anger bar was still full, and I couldn't help but vent my anger on an innocent person.

Doctor Sun was stunned by my yelling, then he chuckled, "Then what do you want me to call you?"

I looked up at him and said, "Doctor Sun, if one day you open your eyes and find yourself in a strange place, a stranger, and living a life completely different from before, what will you do?"

"That depends on the situation. Is it to escape from something in the past or is it forced to change..."

I interrupted him hastily, "I was forced! I was forced! I didn't want to be like this at all. I had a good and comfortable life before! I don't know if I did something wrong in my previous life and suddenly became different. If this is the case, what do you think will happen?"

"If it is impossible to change and go back to the past, since it is a disaster caused by evil deeds, perhaps only doing good deeds can bring salvation."

I sighed, not quite satisfied with his answer. "Doctor Sun, do you believe what you said? If doing good deeds and accumulating virtues could really get what you want, there wouldn't be any bad people in the world!"

"Maybe what you're asking for is not to get what you want, but just to have peace of mind?" He looked at me with a slight smile.

"Please sit down and talk. If you stand there, I will have to crane my neck to look at you. It's so tiring!"

"This is against the rules." He lowered his eyes, and the respect he showed seemed a little hypocritical in my eyes.

I chuckled. "This is not the only thing that is against the rules. There is no need to follow any rules here. Just treat us as ordinary friends and chat casually. I don't know many people here, so it's rare for me to talk to you. Oh, there is one more thing I am curious about..."

He didn't persist for long. He followed my request and sat down opposite me, waiting quietly for my next words.
