This is a companion novel to Transmigrate into a Book: The Supporting Male Character Can Be His Own Protagonist Too.
Lu Ming, Zhao Yan, and Ye Jingshen had been inseparable childhood friends from the time they were little.
They grew up together year after year, witnessing each other's entire youth. Their bond ran deep.
On the day Ye Jingshen got married, Lu Ming and Zhao Yan stood beside him on the wedding stage as his groomsmen.
The ceremony ended, but the celebration was still in full swing. Looking around at the festive room, Lu Ming casually leaned over to Zhao Yan and joked with a grin, "Old Zhao, that kid Ye has gone and gotten married. Which of us do you think will be next?"
It was nothing more than a passing joke made to fill the time at the reception, tossed out on a whim with not a hint of seriousness.
At the time, Zhao Yan took it as idle banter between close friends and answered casually, without giving it a second thought.
Neither of them could have predicted how the years would turn, and how several years would pass in the blink of an eye.
At forty, after half a lifetime of ups and downs,
one late night, Lu Ming got dead drunk at a bar and was carried home, staggering, over Zhao Yan's shoulder.
That night, the casual joke he'd made under the influence gently nudged the course of time, quietly changing the unchanged way the two of them had always been together.
