"Look, look, he's here again!"

"Why does he come every day without coming in, just to stand outside and watch?"

"Because he has no money."

"Can he not afford a class for three hundred yuan?"

"Hahaha, so poor, he wants to learn piano without money?"

Standing outside the piano store, Shen Ci looked in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The students who came to class gathered together and chatted about him.

He turned a deaf ear to the ridicule of the children, staring at the piano in the piano shop without blinking. The black piano was like an elegant work of art, and the spotless keys reflected a slight luster in the sunlight.

He lowered his eyes in silence and curled his fingertips.

That was what he dreamed of.

One day, he will have a piano of his own.

The young man reluctantly left the piano shop window and walked towards a cake shop in front of him.

He never bought cakes before, because it was expensive, but today he decided to give a little praise to himself——

Today was his 18th birthday.

When his mother was still alive, she always told him to treat himself better.

The teenager looked at the cakes in front of the window. Beautiful birthday cakes were often very expensive. He must not be able to afford them with his current financial ability. He had to linger on ordinary cakes and finally locked on a piece of chocolate cake that looked delicious, decorated with his favorite strawberries.

So he stretched out his hand, pointed through the glass, and said softly: "Miss, I will take this one."

The boy's voice was very sweet, as sweet as the cake in the shop window. The clerk looked at him, his delicate face was still immature, but his eyes were very bright, as if he was excited about having the cake soon.

The clerk smiled at him: "Okay."

Shen Ci took the packaged cake. The cake was so small that he could only take a few bites, but even this still cost him 28 yuan, which was enough money to feed him fo two days.

He reluctantly paid the money, his voice was lower than before, and his little white face flushed: "That...can you give me...a candle?"

The clerk was surprised: "Today is your birthday?"

The teenager nodded.

"How old are you?"

"18."

The clerk glanced over his hand. The boy's hands were rough and not suitable for his age. There were many small scars on his thin fingers, and his nails were also a little harsh, and he seemed to work often.

She thought for a while and gave him a candle shaped like "18".

The teenager waved his hand quickly: "No need, the ordinary one is fine."

The clerk put the candles into the cake box, smiled and said, "Take it."

Shen Ci opened his eyes slightly, looked at the cake and then at the clerk, and finally laughed happily: "Thank you Miss!"

He left the cake shop and let out a soft breath.

This was great.

He was finally an adult. He performed well in the college entrance examination that had just ended. He should be able to go to a good university. When he goes to college, he can work while going to school to earn money. One day, he will buy a piano that belongs to him.

The red light on the sidewalk turned green, and the young man walked briskly toward the opposite side of the road with a vision for the future.

Shen Xu was so happy that he couldn't help holding the cake box tighter, speeding up his pace, and wanting to run to the other curb in excitement.

Suddenly—

He heard the roar of cars coming, and before he could turn his head, he was enveloped by a huge shadow.

The world seemed to stand still at this moment.

In the last second before his consciousness disappeared, he saw that the box containing the cake was knocked out from a distance, and the cake inside rolled to the ground and broke.

Blood splattered on the number "18" of the candle.

The students in the piano store screamed with terror.

It hurts...

Shen Ci opened his eyes with difficulty, only to feel that his whole body was sore, burning from his throat to his chest, a faint pain in his lungs, and his head groggy. What happened?

Is he... alive?

This should be the hospital. He remembered that he had been hit by a car...Before he could figure it out, he heard a voice from outside the curtain: "The patient is not in a serious condition anymore. After drowning, he was rescued in time. He should wake up soon and stay in the hospital to be monitored until we are certain there are no other issues, at the earliest he can be discharged tomorrow."

Shen Ci was startled—

Drowning?

Wasn't it a hit and run?

Then came the voice of a middle-aged man: "Great. Fortunately, Xiao ci is fine. We can't afford to have an accident with him. We can't let his brother marry Qin Yi."

A woman's voice scolded: "Isn't Xiao ci your son!?"

"What's the matter? It's about the principle. He still doesn't contribute to the family! He is 18 years old and he should act like it. Doesn't he like men? Let it be so, let him go marry Qin Yi. "

"..... you!"

"You two," the doctor hurriedly shushed them. He glanced at the awake patient restlessly. Shen Ci was lying on the hospital bed, with a blank look in his dark eyes.

What were they talking about? Want him to marry Qin Yi...?　Wait, this name sounded familiar.

He struggled to lift the quilt, and his gaze naturally swept his hand. The skin of these hands was fair and delicate. The nails were round and smooth, perfectly protected at first glance. They were nothing like his usual rough, scraped, and scarred hands.

His heart boomed in fear and anticipation. An ominous premonition that:

This was not his body!

At the same time, he finally remembered-Qin Yi was a character in a Danmei novel he had read a few days ago. The novel was very cheap, only a few yuan for a decently long book, which was a little pastime he rewarded himself with after the college entrance examination.

The reason for choosing this novel was not how attractive the content was, but because the protagonist of the novel had the same name as him.

In the book, Shen Ci was a pampered young master. He grew up in a wealthy family and had had a smooth journey, but disasters happened. The partner Shen's father had trusted for 30 years suddenly betrayed him and ran away directly. If the company's capital chain broke, it would face a bankruptcy crisis.

In order to revitalize the company, his cruel father actually signed a marriage agreement with the Qin family to betroth him to Qin Yi.

Who was Qin Yi?

The villain of the book, who was a paranoid, moody, and utterly obscene man.

The Shen Ci in the book was simple and timid. After learning that he was betrothed to Qin Yi, he was so scared and hid in his room. His father came to persuade him. He simply fled to his friend's house and begged for help. His life immediately fell apart, the moment his weakness appeared everyone took advantage of him, the news of the accident in the Shen family spread, and even the friends who had been close to him showed their true colors, one even snatched the necklace his mother had left him and pushed him into the lake.

The original owner couldn't swim and almost drowned. After being rescued, he was taken to the hospital and recovered his life.

It now seemed that he should be dead, and then he was put into this novel and became the protagonist with the same name and surname as him.

Dying only to transmigrate into a danmei story after the original owner drowned…

Those who spoke just now were the father and stepmother of the original owner of his current body.

He was thinking of this when the curtain was suddenly pulled open. The man and the doctor were no longer in the room, and the woman walked to the bed, her face was a little haggard, and when she saw him wake up, she still cheered up and reached out to touch his hair: "Did Xiao Ci wake up?"

The boy obediently responded yes.

Seeing that he was so behaved, the woman couldn't bear it. She secretly took out a bank card, as if she was afraid of being seen by others, and quickly stuffed it into his hand: "I'm sorry, there is 50,000 yuan in this card, and the password is the last six numbers of your ID card. Today is your eighteenth birthday, but Auntie didn't have time to prepare, so this is...your birthday present."

When Shen Ci heard that number, he thought he had heard it wrong, and widened his eyes slightly: "How much?"

"...Five thousand," the woman seemed embarrassed, "I'm sorry, auntie knows it is too little, but I only have this for the time being, don't be upset."

Too little?

That's too much, okay!?

Shen Ci, who had never seen so much money subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was pressed hard by the woman. Her voice almost choked: "Xiao Ci, your dad has to let you out of the hospital now. The doctor and I think you should stay longer, but you know how your father is. You wait here. I'll go through the discharge procedures for you. The driver is already waiting downstairs. You will go home for a while, take a shower, and pack your things. You will move to Qin's house today. Don't take anything except the necessities, don't make Shao Qin upset."

As she said this, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, "Auntie can't continue to take care of you in the future. This money... you keep it for yourself. When you come to Qin's house, you must be polite to Shao Qin and don't mess with him. As long as you don't mess with him, he won't be upset with you, you know that right?"

Shen Ci looked at her, not knowing what to say, and felt a little uncomfortable—the woman in front of him was the stepmother of the original owner, and the original Shen Ci's biological mother had passed away when he was five years old.

On the 18th birthday of the original owner, the stepmother chose to give him 50,000 yuan, but his biological father let him be discharged early because he was afraid of spending money on a son he didn't care about. The lung infection caused by drowning was not improving. The treatment caused the original owner to fall ill, his physical condition became very poor, and he often coughed and had chest tightness.

With a terrible physical state as well as multiple mental blows, the original owner moved to Qin's house, and it could be said that death was better than living.

The young man lowered his eyes, and his long, curly eyelashes looked like fragile butterfly wings, making his delicate face even paler. Suddenly he raised his head, and a smile appeared in his jet-black eyes: "Thank you, Auntie, I will remember."

The teenager seemed to be so obedient, she froze for a moment, then hugged him and stroked his hair until messy. She helped him get up from the hospital bed and spoke with a nasally voice: " Xiao ci, you go downstairs first. I'll go to the doctor and get some medicine for you. If you feel your lungs are uncomfortable, take it."

Shen Ci nodded, he obediently went downstairs, stood in front of the hospital, and took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

His chest still hurt a bit, but this couldn't extinguish his inner excitement.

Let him marry Qin Yi.

Who was Qin Yi?

The frightening villain in the book, the paranoid and surly lunatic.

But at the same time, he was also the unattainable musical genius. He became famous at a young age and won several international awards in his teens. The piano music he composed had been sold for hundreds of millions of dollars and won numerous praises.

But because of a car accident, his legs became disabled and he could no longer perform on stage, so his personality changed drastically and he fell into endless darkness.

Let him marry Qin Yi?

Will he be afraid, painful, worse than death?

What a joke.

He felt distressed that he was too late to change the fate of the villain. Such a genius who had attracted fame and fortune had his life ruined due to a bizarre car accident. People were afraid of him, but they didn't know how much pain he had endured silently.

In the original book, what he liked the most was the villain Qin Yi, "The piano genius can no longer play the piano". Just thinking about these words was enough to make people feel bad.

And now, he actually transmigrated into this novel and became the protagonist who was about to marry Qin Yi.

This was really... like a dream!

As he was about to see his idol, the boy was extremely excited, his chest was slightly fluttery because of the excitement, he clenched his fists unconsciously, and this new body's dark eyes glowed with a strange brilliance.

Wait for me.

I hope we can meet right away.
