Once, I wanted to be a good person

```

Jie himself was only a bit over 1.7 meters tall, yet the maid standing beside his bed was a full head taller than him, which instantly made him feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"A 1.9-meter-tall maid...."

"Why do I have such a tall maid?"

As he thought this, Jie suddenly felt even more that something was amiss!

"Hold on.... When did I get a maid?"@@novelbin@@

With this thought, and thanks to the dulling effects of alcohol and sleep, Jie's brain finally began to churn into action.

He managed to lift himself up with effort and looked around.

Then, he was shocked to discover that he was not in his dormitory, but rather in an opulent room adorned with the noble colors of jade green, meticulously decorated on all sides.

And the blanket on him...

He looked down and touched it.

Although he didn't know much about blankets, he could tell that this one was expensive; its texture was fine and it felt smooth and cooling to the touch. When covered by it during summer, it was like having an air conditioner on him, incomparably comfortable.

With this thought, he couldn't help but look up at the maid standing beside his bed and asked in astonishment, "Where, where am I?"

The maid beside the bed heard his words, smiled slightly, and then sweetly said, "Young Master, what are you talking about? You are in your own room, at your own home."

"My room, my home?" Jie felt his drunken brain a bit foggy, and with the surprise of the situation, he couldn't help but be a bit stunned.

"Isn't my home in Greenwater City?"

"Greenwater City?" The maid, upon hearing Jie's words, sat down beside the bed, curiously asking, "What place is that?"

Jie looked up at the maid's delicate and beautiful face and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

The maid bashfully slapped Jie's hand away, "Young Master, stop it~"

Jie wasn't acting out of any lecherous intent; he purely wanted to test whether the person before him was real.

And now... "Ouch. That hurts."

'My maid has quite the strong grip....'

While marveling at his maid's strength, Jie confirmed one thing: he felt pain when the maid hit him, so he should not be.... dreaming, right?

But... he should just be a common man born in Greenwater City, not some noble, and certainly without a maid, right?

And why did the person before him not even know about Greenwater City?

Could it be... he unknowingly ended up in another world?

Or maybe... his life in Greenwater City, in the Emerald City, was all just a dream?

With this in mind, Jie tentatively asked, "What's your name? And who... exactly am I?"

Upon hearing Jie's words, the maid looked surprised and said, "Young Master, are you alright?"

With that, she lightly pressed her hand against Jie's forehead, looking cute and playful as she checked for fever, then tilted her head with a puzzled expression, "No fever."

These years, he might not have been this close to a girl, and Jie's face turned a shade redder.

He coughed, and said, "I was just testing you. To see if you remembered everything properly."

The maid nodded her head in a dazed manner, "Oh... I see."

She suddenly said, "Young Master. You're called Nicholas-Mei Cai Kou Rou-Hong Shao Pai Gu-Jie, the one and only direct descendant, spanning ten generations, of the Nicholas Family."

"You possess the greatest wealth in this world, are accompanied by beauties everywhere you go, and you're adored and revered by thousands wherever you appear."

"And I am your favorite maid. My name is Junjun~" she said, and with a blush, "Because you, Young Master, like to 'have a small horse pull a big cart', you specially chose me to be your exclusive maid...."

Jie, no.... Nicholas Jie, was stunned by the maid's words.

The wealthiest family in the world, a direct descendant over ten generations, the only rightful heir?

Surrounded by beauties, adored and pursued by thousands?

This... is this really me?

How come this setting feels so... adolescent?

He wanted to ponder more, but his brain was simply too sluggish to analyze anything.

At that moment, Junjun spoke up again, "Young Master. Are you having a nightmare? Dreaming?"

When Jie heard Junjun's words, he hesitated but eventually nodded, saying, "I dreamt... that I became someone else."

"Someone else?" Junjun's curiosity peaked; she moved closer on the bed and asked, "What did you dream about? Can you tell me about it?"

Jie didn't really want to talk about it, but perhaps it was because Junjun was so close to him, the "fragrance of a young girl" subtly filling his nostrils, that his already muddled brain became even more befuddled.

Thus, he found himself blurting out in a daze, "I... I dreamt that I was just an ordinary person at the bottom."

"An ordinary person at the bottom?" Junjun seemed very interested in this concept, eagerly leaning in closer, "Tell me about it, Young Master~~"

As she spoke, she took Jie's hand and gently shook it, pleading in a coaxing manner.

With a beauty in his embrace, acting coquettishly, Jie felt his mouth go dry. His defenses wavered with each shake, and finally, he began to recount simply "another life" in "another world"....

.....

Meanwhile.

Outside this lavish room was a beautiful garden.

And Fang Ze was sitting in that garden, his gaze penetrating the walls, observing the two inside: Jie and "Jun".
