Mu Jingzhe smiled and frowned. “But it’s not safe here. I don’t want them to come over. Buwang, your voice doesn’t sound right. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I just touched a few more bricks.”

Ji Buwang felt something, but it was a little far. If he wanted to slowly dig it out, he had to get closer, but his feet were pressed down and he couldn’t move.

However, sensing that Jingzhe couldn’t hold on much longer, he couldn’t care less. Ji Buwang gritted his teeth and reached out with all his might, ignoring the pain coming from his feet.

There had been countless times when Ji Buwang had wanted Mu Jingzhe to stop holding on, but in the end, he hadn’t said anything because Jingzhe wanted him to live. Besides, she had to hold on in order to survive herself.

He couldn’t bear to see her die.

As he searched all around him again and again, Ji Buwang’s hands were already riddled with injuries. He also ignored his leg injury. Mu Jingzhe quickly sensed that something was wrong.

“Ji Buwang, are you alright? Why do I smell blood?”

“It’s fine. I accidentally scratched my hand. It’s no big deal. Jingzhe, wait a little longer. I’ll be done soon.”

“Okay.” Mu Jingzhe agreed and continued to hold on numbly.

There was no longer any pain in her hands, only numbness. Sometimes, Mu Jingzhe was in a lot of pain, but sometimes, her entire body was numb. She felt that her hands and her supporting back were no longer hers.

After an unknown period of time, Mu Jingzhe felt that she couldn’t take it anymore. She was extremely thirsty, but her body was still sweating. The sweat entered her eyes, making them sting and bringing about a painful sensation.

Mu Jingzhe felt a little helpless. How nice would it be if this sweat could enter her mouth and quench her thirst? Alas, it insisted on entering her eyes.

Just as Mu Jingzhe felt that she couldn’t take it anymore and she felt a little dazed, she suddenly heard Ji Buwang’s voice. “Jingzhe, I found it. I dug out the bricks. Alright, it’s almost done.”

Ji Buwang’s voice made Mu Jingzhe’s body tremble, and she braced herself again.

Ji Buwang propped up the bricks with difficulty. “Alright, Jingzhe, let go quickly. Let’s try it. They should be able to support the closet.”

Mu Jingzhe slowly stopped using her strength. When she saw that the bricks could really prop it up, she relaxed and lowered her hands weakly.

‘I made it through. I really made it through… I can finally relax.’

Mu Jingzhe was about to fall unconscious when Ji Buwang suddenly woke her up. “Jingzhe, you can’t sleep. Jingzhe, wake up.”

Ji Buwang touched Mu Jingzhe’s limp hand, but he didn’t dare touch it with too much strength because Mu Jingzhe’s hands were trembling. Besides, after her hands went limp, they didn’t move again.

Ji Buwang was certain that there was something wrong with Mu Jingzhe’s hands, as she had kept saying that she would check on his legs when her hands were freed up. Now, she didn’t even say a word.

She definitely hadn’t forgotten. She just couldn’t move and didn’t have the energy to bring it up.

He could imagine how much pain Mu Jingzhe was in right now. He swallowed the lump in his throat and called Mu Jingzhe’s name over and over again to stop her from falling asleep.

“Jingzhe, wait a little longer. Hang in there a little longer. You made it through despite all that difficulty. Don’t fall asleep.”

Because of the fear in Ji Buwang’s voice, Mu Jingzhe bit her tongue slightly to wake herself up with the pain.

“Alright, I won’t sleep. Buwang, don’t speak anymore.” Talking too much would affect his stamina and make him even thirstier.

“Alright, I’ll stop talking. Don’t fall asleep.”

Ji Buwang wiped the sweat from Mu Jingzhe’s face, his heart feeling like it was being stabbed by a knife.

After another unknown period of time, they vaguely heard sounds outside. However, when they listened carefully, they couldn’t hear anything. They also didn’t hear anything being dug out. It didn’t sound like someone was trying to save them.

Ji Buwang knocked on the kettle, but there was no response.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help feeling dazed for a moment before her thoughts returned to the modern era. She was feeling miserable at work, but her hands were in so much pain that she couldn’t lift them. At that moment, the sound of Ji Buwang striking the kettle woke her up.

Mu Jingzhe woke up, but her body felt very unwell. She no longer perspired, and her body gradually turned cold.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t put her finger on it, but she had a vague feeling that she might not make it.

“Ji Buwang, do you know where I came from?” Mu Jingzhe suddenly spoke, stunning Ji Buwang.

“Where?”

“If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t think of it. According to our timeline, I should have come from thirty years into the future.”

“Thirty years into the future?” When Ji Buwang heard this, he had a bad premonition. “Jingzhe, are you muddle-headed from exhaustion? Why are you suddenly saying all this? Let’s talk after we get out.”

He didn’t want to hear such things, as they sounded suspiciously like last words at the moment. “Let’s talk when we get out. Don’t speak so you don’t feel even worse.”

“But I want to talk to you right now.” If she didn’t tell him now, she might not have the chance to do so in the future.

Mu Jingzhe wanted to tell him before she died. She didn’t want to die without leaving behind any last words. “You have to listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”

Then, ignoring Ji Buwang’s words, she added, “I’m only telling you this. You should keep this to yourself in the future.

“I’m not the Mu Jingzhe of the past. This body isn’t mine. I came to this world six—no, seven—years ago and became Mu Jingzhe. I should be considered a time traveler and I came here as a guest by accident.”

Mu Jingzhe’s tone was filled with emotion. “Now that I think of it, I’ve been here for many years. This is a rare experience. When the right time comes, I might have to leave.”

Ji Buwang hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to say such a thing. How could he not understand what she meant?

“Stop lying to me. I don’t believe you.”

“Don’t be anxious. Just keep listening to me. You’ll understand what I mean after hearing more.

“There’s a term called transmigration that applies to people like me. What is transmigration? It means transmigrating through time and space. There are two ways to transmigrate—physically and consciously. For example, when I transmigrated here from 30 years into the future, my consciousness transmigrated, but my body remained where it was.”

Mu Jingzhe explained to Ji Buwang the meaning of transmigration. She hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t say anything about transmigrating into a novel.

“Transmigration isn’t limited to returning to the past. One can also transmigrate to the future. It’s very popular 30 years from now. Everyone knows about transmigration. There are also many books and television dramas revolving around this theme. I didn’t expect to transmigrate here. At first, I was surprised and a little unused to it.

“After coming here, I actually really missed the modern era. Don’t underestimate this 30-year difference. 30 years later, our country is prosperous and our people wealthy, so everything is much different from now.

“Food, clothes, and everything else are more convenient to get than it is now, and there’s stuff like cell phones, the Internet, and food delivery. I’ve actually always wanted to go back. This time, my wish might finally come true.”

Mu Jingzhe’s tone was serious, and she sounded quite convincing. Ji Buwang couldn’t tell if Mu Jingzhe was telling the truth or not. He kept feeling that she was lying to him, but when he thought about it, Mu Jingzhe did seem very different.

“I don’t care if you’re telling the truth or not. I’m asking you, what will I do if you go back? Listen to me, I don’t care where you come from or if you miss the modern era. Since you’ve agreed to marry me, you have to take responsibility.. You’re not allowed to abandon me.”
