Across a thousand years, through two screens, one large and one small, the two were finally able to have a successful conversation for the first time in history, instead of gesturing and asking and answering questions as before.
Su Xi held her breath, feeling that all of this was unbelievable, and her heart turned into a screaming chicken.
Lu Huan was the same. He stood in the center of the room, completely unaware of the dim sunset outside the window gradually turning orange. His heart was pounding wildly, his eyes were shining brightly, and his eyes and brows were filled with ecstasy.
….
Moreover, Lu Huan discovered that on her screen, what he said seemed to appear as a dialog box above his head.
I see.
Lu Huan tried to understand the logic of the medium that connected the two of them across time—
No wonder she could hear what he was saying earlier, but couldn’t speak or leave any message, and could only answer him with “yes” or “no”.
At that time, she must have been the only one with a medium, so only she could see him, while he didn’t have a medium and therefore couldn’t see her.
So I naturally assumed she was a ghost or deity.
Perhaps she didn’t know how to explain it— after all, the dynasty she lived in a thousand years later was inconceivable no matter how you explained it, so she chose to accept it.
….
Based on the characteristics of these two media currently observed.
His was large and translucent, while hers was smaller, but more petite, and could be held in the palm of her hand. The medium was similar.
His words were transformed into long, rectangular frames on her screen. And when she spoke, they too became long, rectangular frames on the screen in front of him. The manner of their conversation was quite similar.
The people in her world that he encountered were initially all short-limbed little people who needed money to become normal. And it was the same on her side.
In other words—
These two media had exactly the same and common functions.
….
From this, he could deduce many things—
He just needed to complete a task in order to unlock a new so-called “tectonic plate” on the map a thousand years in the future.
She should be in the same situation.
That’s why she often disappeared suddenly, and then suddenly reappeared after he left the Ning Wang’s mansion, pass through the alley, and arrived at the long street where lanterns were sold.
Looking back now, it must be that she failed to decipher “the section of the long alley” on the map of her own dynasty.
But later, as she completed more and more tasks, she was able to accompany him to more and more places.
….
However, it was just a task.
Lu Huan had long ago guessed why the ghosts and gods had come to his side.
He thought at the time that he was probably entrusted by his deceased relatives to accompany him, help him, involve him in the disputes in the capital, and help him gain more power.
But only then did Lu Huan realize that none of those things existed. She had come to his side, presumably to unlock those sections, and had helped him with one thing after another. In other words, she too had a strange, mechanical voice on her side, instructing her to do certain things.
Knowing that the reason she appeared in his life was perhaps just because of a mission, it would be a lie to say that Lu Huan didn’t feel a little disappointed.
However, he and she had already been together for almost a year.
He had always known that she was the kindest person in the world. Regardless of her initial motives, at least her care and concern for him, the warmth and kindness she gave him, were all genuine. The days they spent together, those tender moments, were indelible. Even if she had some ulterior motive at first, Lu Huan was unwilling to harbor any resentment.
….
In addition, Lu Huan also speculated that the flow of time on the two sides must have been different before.
Since she was not a ghost or deity, she naturally needed to sleep, eat, and do other things. Previously, her appearances were quite unpredictable, sometimes in the early morning on her side, sometimes in the dead of night. Now that he thought about it, it must be because the two time periods were different.
….
Lu Huan pondered all of this carefully in his mind and gradually came to understand it.
As for the rest, Lu Huan didn’t know what else was more novel about this curtain. He planned to observe it further to see what was going on.
….
Across a thousand years, both of them were extremely excited.
After the initial excitement subsided, Su Xi saw the little one on the screen suppressing his ecstatic expression and eagerly asking the first question.
“How should I address you?”
Lu Huan wanted to know her name. A name was unique to a person, and if he knew her name, he wouldn’t be unable to find her in the future.
When Su Xi saw the dialog box pop up above the cub’s head, she was immediately filled with the shame of meeting up with an online friend.
Oh my god, the little one wants to ask his mother’s name.
After raising my baby for so long, he still doesn’t know his mother’s name.
Fortunately, after 100 points, only voice communication was enabled, so the cub could only hear her voice and thought she was a ghost or deity who could suddenly speak. Otherwise, if the cub knew what she looked like on the screen, wouldn’t she be blushing and mortified?! Just the way she was now made Su Xi blush and feel breathless.
She coughed first, then tried to calm herself as she explained, “Last night I was wandering around and met a powerful ghost with magic powers. I had that ghost cast a spell on me, which enabled me to speak!”
Su Xi felt that she had made up a pretty good story. Otherwise, how could she explain that the baby could suddenly hear her talking and that the baby would be terrified to hear a sound coming from mid-air?
But what’s with that wonderfully complex, hesitant expression on the little one’s face?!
Su Xi was a little confused, but continued, “My name is Su Xi, you can call me—”
Before she could finish speaking, she realized it wasn’t quite right, so she happily shut her mouth to see how the little one would react.
….
Lu Huan stared in astonishment as a dialog box popped up above her head on the screen, saying, “My name is Su Xi, you can call me—”
A whole bunch of other oval-shaped white bubbles appeared above her head—
Bubble—”My name is Su Xi, you can call me—Mom, pfft hahahaha!”
Another bubble appears—”awsl, the baby’s blank expression is so cute!!”
It’s all bubbles…
“My little one asked me his name! No matter what he does, he’s so adorable it makes me want to vomit milk! I’m dying of cuteness from him every day!”
“Mom will love her son forever!”
“Waaah, my name isn’t very nice. How about I come up with a nicer online name like ‘Flowers Blooming on the Roadside’? Or maybe something like ‘x bone’? As a ghost, I should at least have a dignified and otherworldly air about me. I can’t be too undignified and make my little one think I’m some kind of little ghost who gets bullied by other ghosts!”
….
Lu Huan’s expression gradually crumbled: “…”
?
Mother?
The author has something to say:
Su Xi: I think I should tell my little one that my name is Li Ying Shang Angelina Ying Xue Yu Han Ling Xue Li Chi Mei J Q Antalya Shang Meng Xun Mei Hathaway Rose Tears Yu Ling Xie Er.
Lu Huan, who was already old enough to marry and have children in the Yan Kingdom at sixteen: Let me take a moment…
