It was entirely Qie Ranzhe's idea from the very beginning. In fact, it wasn't exactly put through as an idea rather a 'we are going to fuckin do this and we are going to fuckin do this right now'. This left this nerd with no choice but to be dragged into a portal.

At the centre of this secret garden surrounded by lush greenery and cherry blossoms was a clear pool right in the middle sparkling under the rising moon.
Wen Qinxi's confusion was clearly written on his face but he didn't get to ask because Qie Ranzhe volunteered the information upfront. "It's my secret hideout. I placed a barrier around it and.... not even Lin Lin knows about it," he said as he warmed up the pool with the palm of his hand.
