I am the villain in the book

An hour later.

“Glug glug ~ Glug glug ~”

The carriage with the "Shu" flag rumbled along the road, heading towards the south of the city.

Inside the carriage, Wei Changtian was lost in thought, watching Xu Suisui, who was dozing off across from him.

"Time-travel", as a phenomenon that is difficult to explain scientifically and impossible to verify or prove, makes it undoubtedly hard to find its patterns.

At least, it's definitely not something someone with Wei Changtian's level of physics knowledge, which barely extends beyond compulsory education, could figure out.

However, even so, Wei Changtian still felt that there should be a comprehensible operating logic behind it.

Take himself, for example.

The reason he transmigrated to this world was because he was reading "Martial Arts Supreme Peak" when he got electrocuted.

Reading the book was the prerequisite, electric shock death was the trigger, and soul transmigration was the result. The entire cause-and-effect logic was very clear.

But for Xu Suisui, it didn't seem to be the case.

Although she had the "death" trigger, she clearly lacked the prerequisite.

In short, her transmigration to this world lacked a reason.

There are only two possible explanations for this.

Either "time-travel" itself doesn't have any clear cause-and-effect relationship, in other words, it's just "random transmigration".

Or Xu Suisui wasn't telling the truth.

But the results he got were fine.

At least, within the scope that could be investigated, Xu Suisui had indeed been on the road the whole time. The coachmen also said that "Miss Xu" was normal in every way, except that she would occasionally say things they didn't understand. She ate when she was supposed to eat, slept when she was supposed to sleep, and was no different from a normal woman.

Of course, it was also possible that Xu Suisui was acting.

But if she was really deliberately hiding something, Wei Changtian understood that no matter how he asked, she probably wouldn't tell him.

So, he didn't ask about these things for the time being, but suddenly said with a smile:

"Hey, if we find a way to go back one day, would you be willing to go back?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Xu Suisui yawned sleepily, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Go back where?"

"Earth."

Wei Changtian smiled and asked again, "Will you go back?"

"Earth... ah?"

After hearing Wei Changtian's words clearly, Xu Suisui instantly lost all sleepiness.

She subconsciously wanted to stand up, but forgot that she was in a carriage, so she bumped her head on the roof.

"Thump!"

The sound of the impact was very loud, but Xu Suisui didn't care about the pain. She hurriedly asked, "Have you found a way to go back?!"

"No."

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "I'm talking about if."

"Tch."

Xu Suisui pursed her lips, covered her head, and sat down again: "If there really is a way, of course I want to go back!"

"Is that so?"

Wei Changtian curiously asked again: "Don't you think it's more comfortable in this world than in your previous life?"

"Um... it does seem a little more comfortable."

Xu Suisui first nodded, then shook her head: "But I miss my mom and dad, so I still want to go back."

"..."

Mom and dad.

Hearing these four words, Wei Changtian suddenly froze for a moment, and didn't speak for a long time.

The carriage suddenly fell silent, until Xu Suisui tentatively said in a low voice:

"That... I know you've already married wives here, and you'll definitely be reluctant to leave them."

"If I find a husband in the future, I guess I'll be reluctant to leave him too."

"But we are not from here after all..."

"..."

"Yes, what you said makes sense."

After a moment, Wei Changtian nodded noncommittally.

Then he looked at Xu Suisui quite seriously and slowly asked, "If we really go back one day, will we still be friends?"

"Hey! Of course!"

This time, Xu Suisui answered very quickly.

She didn't seem to hear Wei Changtian's hidden meaning. While patting Wei Changtian's shoulder carelessly, she guaranteed with a heroic look:

"Our revolutionary friendship is unbreakable!"

"Comrade Wei, don't worry!"

"Whether we go back or not, we will always be friends!"

"..."

"Is that so?"

Looking at the "righteous" Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian's expression didn't change, but his pupils contracted slightly.

For him, it didn't matter whether Xu Suisui was hiding any secrets, after all, he himself hadn't told this "fellow villager" everything.

He only needed to confirm one thing—

That was whether Xu Suisui was "on his side" after all.

Therefore, he had just asked that question.

But the answer he got...

Wei Changtian didn't know if Xu Suisui really didn't understand what he meant, or if she was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

However, just as he was about to make his words clearer, the latter suddenly repeated the last sentence in an extremely solemn tone.

"Wei Changtian, I'm serious."

"Whether we go back or not, we will always be friends."

"..."

"Da da da! Da da da!"

There were dense footsteps passing outside the carriage, which should be a team of Shu soldiers.

The carriage curtain was brushed by the wind, and sparks of fire flashed through the gaps from time to time.

In the alternating light and dark, Wei Changtian and Xu Suisui's faces were a little blurred, and their expressions were surprisingly calm.

The two looked at each other in the noisy sound for a long time, and then moved their eyes away.

Xu Suisui's last repeated sentence, although it seemed like she didn't say anything, actually admitted a lot of things.

Sure enough, this woman was not as simple as she had shown before.

"Okay, I know."

Nodding lightly, Wei Changtian's expression was a little complicated.

Xu Suisui also changed her usual optimistic appearance, and a rare hesitation appeared on her face.

She seemed to want to say something, but after opening her mouth, it finally turned into a sentence.

"Wei Changtian, do you really believe me?"

"..."

"I believe you."

Wei Changtian's answer was a little delayed, but it wasn't difficult.

As the last word echoed in the air and disappeared, the two stopped talking.

Wei Changtian sat upright and closed his eyes to rest, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Suisui quietly looked at him, and the left hand hidden in her sleeve loosened little by little, revealing the object she had been holding in her hand.

This was a dark green ancient jade, and not many people in this world had seen it.

However, Wei Changtian was very familiar with this jade, because although he had never used it himself, he had given one to Wei Qiaoling, and lied to the latter that it was a treasure that helped with "appetite".

Jade that can "improve appetite" was of course a saying to coax children.

As for the real function of this ancient jade, Xiao Feng should have the most to say.
