At this moment, Lu Huan found a side quest on the screen that didn’t pop up automatically but could be completed to increase points.
He was immediately delighted and opened the side quest—
There were no prompts on the screen, and we were immediately taken to some scenes with the message “Some past events that can be completed”.
The past? Could it be that this curtain, like a carriage that could move across space, could also move across time?
Before Lu Huan could even think, the scene started.
The story began at the foot of Su Xi’s building, where Su Xi’s parents were carrying food containers and seemed to be rushing somewhere. Perhaps because they were walking too fast, Su Xi’s mother did not notice the banana peel under her feet and almost slipped on it.
Lu Huan, standing outside the curtain, subconsciously raised his hand to steady her, and unexpectedly, his gesture had an effect. Su Xi’s mother glanced behind her with a puzzled look, barely managing to stand, but because she was in a hurry to get somewhere, she didn’t think much of it.
A conversation then popped up between the two:
“I don’t know how Xi Xi is doing at the hospital. We need to go quickly. This thermos doesn’t keep the soup warm very well, and it won’t taste good if the chicken soup gets cold.”
Hospital?
Lu Huan, who was outside the curtain, had already learned about the dynasty of Su Xi over the past few days, so he could naturally understand where the hospital was, and he immediately felt a little anxious.
Seeing that the number of dots in the upper right corner had increased by two after he helped Su Xi’s mother, he immediately unlocked the hospital.
Upon unlocking, the screen switched to the hospital, where Su Xi, looking somewhat sad, put down the brick she was holding.
–What’s wrong?
She was wearing a blue and white checkered shirt, and something was wrapped around her leg, so it looked like she had injured her leg.
Lu Huan immediately went to check her leg, but he couldn’t help her through the screen.
Lu Huan felt slightly annoyed, but then he thought that the medical technology there was advanced, and that she was in a hospital, where the best doctors should have examined her. Since this was in the past, and her leg was fine now, it meant that she had recovered.
Then he saw Su Xi on the screen pick up the brick again, press it a few times, and then communicate with someone else.
Judging from the pop-up conversation, it seemed to be about… borrowing money?
Lu Huan immediately took out the silver notes from his pocket, but the curtain could not be used for object teleportation.
If he wanted to help her, he could only do so through other means.
So when he saw her asking someone to buy lottery tickets, he spent dozens of silver notes to exchange for something called a “winning ticket” from the mall, allowing her to win the prize as she wished.
Seeing the small shop, and Su Xi excitedly shouting with her two friends, Lu Huan finally smiled.
However, the male cartoon figure next to her kept trying to help her up, and Lu Huan couldn’t help but slap the other’s hand away.
After completing the second task, two more dots appeared in the upper right corner.
As Su Xi mentioned on the screen that she was going to the mall, he unlocked a third place: the mall.
This time, seeing the steaming fish soup about to be poured over her, his pupils constricted sharply, and he shoved it away.
This was the third thing.
Lu Huan thought for a moment and used the newly added points to unlock Su Xi’s most frequently visited school.
Upon arriving here, Lu Huan also noticed that Su Xi seemed to have a lot of bad luck. On this day, she was desperately trying to catch up with a large carriage, but just as she was about to catch up, the carriage suddenly decided to leave. She chased after it frantically, looking completely devastated.
Just then, the person in front of her got on the bus. Lu Huan frowned and, while having the person swipe a small card, grabbed the person’s hand and slowed down the journey.
Just as the coachman was about to urge them on, Su Xi rushed up, covered in sweat, panting heavily while supporting her knees.
She patted her chest: “That was close, I almost missed the bus.”
Lu Huan smiled from behind the curtain before releasing the hand of the person in front of her. The person looked around in astonishment, then thinking it was just their imagination, twisted their wrist, and walked towards the back of the carriage.
This was the fourth thing.
Fifthly, Lu Huan had just unlocked Su Xi’s school and hadn’t even had a chance to take a look when he saw her walk out of one of the rooms. The corridor was filled with cartoon characters.
So, there were so many students in the schools of their dynasty?
Lu Huan was slightly shocked and gently pushed aside the people around her to prevent them from crowding her.
The person standing to Su Xi’s right felt as if she had been pushed by a gust of wind for no reason. She subconsciously thought it was the person to her left who had pushed her, so she glared at Su Xi.
Su Xi, who was inexplicably glared at, was speechless.
Lu Huan outside the curtain: …
He touched the tip of his nose guiltily and didn’t push through the crowd any further.
However, while descending the steps, Su Xi was seen being pushed and nearly falling.
He quickly caught her.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Su Xi leave the high-rise building safely.
….
After completing these five side quests, the screen returned to the scene where Su Xi was lying in bed clutching her stomach, and the points in the upper right corner finally reached 112.
Lu Huan suddenly remembered that Su Xi had been chatting with him these past two days, saying that her luck had improved after she got to know him. At the time, he thought it was just something to make him happy and didn’t take it too seriously, but now something flashed through his mind.
So, it turns out that he was the one who influenced and interfered with the past on the other side of the stream?
Lu Huan had a vague feeling that the appearance of this curtain between the two of them was not accidental, but he couldn’t figure out why for the moment. So he could only give up for the time being.
He continued searching for tasks on the screen to increase his points to two hundred as quickly as possible so he could see her sooner, but for a while, no new tasks appeared on the screen.
Lu Huan thought for a moment, tucked the blanket around her on the bed, and then zoomed in on the table in front of her window.
He found a book with a cover full of crooked, tiny characters. He opened the last few pages and, based on the correspondence between the tiny characters and the Chinese characters, memorized the meaning of the tiny characters.
The candle burned until dawn.
….
Su Xi drank the brown sugar ginger tea, and her menstrual cramps improved a lot.
She took the day off this morning, but she still had to go to school this afternoon.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, got up, and packed her schoolbag, only to find that the English textbook on the table hadn’t been put in her bag last night.
Without thinking much about it, she put it in, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and went out.
If she were to open the game and take a look at it now, she would be shocked as if struck by lightning.
In the game, the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn, and the boy in the tent used a brush to copy five whole pages of English words onto a piece of paper.
He was pacing back and forth in the tent, his brow furrowed, trying to understand the inverted grammar of this tiny script, which was completely different from the language of Yan.
Perhaps because he hadn’t slept all night and was slightly tired, he rubbed his temples and poured himself a cup of bitter tea to refresh himself.
The author has something to say:
After meeting.
The cub: Hello. (this is in English)
Su Xi (bewildered and questioning her existence in the wind): …?????????
