Lu Huan’s arrival in this world was new and exciting for him. Su Xi wanted to take him to more places to see modern civilization and taste modern delicacies. If it weren’t for it being summer vacation and the school gates being locked, she would have taken him to sit in on a class; that would have been very interesting.
However, the most urgent task at present was to figure out the mechanism of time travel.
What conditions did Lu Huan meet to transmigrate this time? Was it because he reached 200 points? And when did he transmigrate? Could he go back?
And after he went back, would he be able to come again next time?
Furthermore, after he disappeared from there, the officials in Chengzhou must have been in complete chaos after discovering that the Ninth Prince was missing. They still didn’t know what the situation there was.
If the time flow ratio was still 2 to 1 after 200 points, then for every day he delayed here, two days would pass for him there.
If he disappeared for more than three days, it would inevitably cause a big commotion and alarm the people in the capital. Returning then would be very difficult to explain.
So, these problems still needed to be solved first, otherwise they would always weigh on Su Xi’s heart like a big stone. Su Xi was always afraid that he would disappear at any moment, so she had no interest in taking him for a stroll.
Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that he appeared before Su Xi was already an unforgettable miracle for her.
….
That evening, Su Xi had to go home first, while Lu Huan stayed at Huo Jingchuan’s house.
After leaving, Su Xi regretted not buying Lu Huan a cell phone; now she couldn’t contact him at all. What if the time-travel mechanism suddenly activated and he vanished…?
But as soon as Su Xi got home, her landline rang. It was Huo Jingchuan’s landline number, but the person dialling was Lu Huan.
Su Xi was overjoyed and quickly changed into slippers before rushing over to answer the phone.
When Su parents came home, Su Xi was still on the phone. However, since it was summer vacation, Mother Su assumed she was chatting with a female classmate and didn’t pay much attention. But even when dinner was ready, Su Xi was still sitting on the sofa, smiling and chatting with the person on the other end of the phone. Seeing this, Mother Su couldn’t help but call out, “Xi Xi, come and eat. Who are you talking to?”
Su Xi was afraid her mother would hear a boy’s voice on the other end of the phone, so she whispered, “I have to eat now, I’ll hang up first. I’ll have Huo Jingchuan take you down for dinner tonight, don’t go hungry.”
Lu Huan smiled and said, “Xiao Xi, don’t worry, I already know how to use the kitchen utensils, so there’s no need to bother Huo tonight—”
Before he could finish speaking, the receiver emitted a “beep beep beep” sound indicating a disconnection.
Lu Huan frowned, picked up the landline and went to the bedroom to find Huo Jingchuan: “Brother Huo, this thing is making strange noises, it’s probably broken.”
Huo Jingchuan: “My family has used it for five years without it breaking down, how could it break down after you used it for just one time?”
He slapped the phone.
Seeing this, Lu Huan thought it was some kind of treatment method, so he tried to do the same by patting the phone.
Before his palm could land, Huo Jingchuan stopped him, saying, “Don’t slap it! If you slap it, my phone will break!”
Lu Huan frowned: “The quality is so bad.”
Huo Jingchuan: “…” Damn it, he even mocked the poor quality of his landline!
Huo Jingchuan picked up the phone and dialled a random number, only to hear the message, “Your phone is out of credit.” He was immediately on the verge of tears: “What’s wrong? It’s out of credit! I mean, Brother Lu, you’ve been on the phone with Su Xi for three hours straight! You’ve maxed out my phone credit! Do you have so much to say? Can’t you say it tomorrow?!”
Seeing his mournful appearance, Lu Huan roughly understood the meaning of “overdue payment”.
After thinking for a moment, he walked back to his bed, took the jade and silver belt from his robe, and gently broke off a small pearl. He then walked back and handed it to Huo Jingchuan: “Is this enough?”
Huo Jingchuan almost fell off his gaming chair, staring in disbelief. “Are you from a nouveau riche family? This pearl… it looks real.”
Seeing his greedy appearance, Lu Huan became self-righteous: “I need to communicate.”
“Here you go.” Huo Jingchuan excitedly snapped the pearls in his hand and pulled out his cell phone to give to him: “I just topped up my phone credit by 100 points a while ago, Brother Lu, use it sparingly.”
Lu Huan took the phone and went back to his room. However, he didn’t make any more calls. Instead, he planned to send a text message to Su Xi.
Midway through, Huo Jingchuan pushed open the door in order to ask him what time he wanted to get up the next day. But he found him sitting cross-legged on the bed, his back as straight as a martial artist’s, his aura as imposing as a lone pine tree, quite intimidating. But upon closer inspection, he discovered… that he was having great difficulty sending text messages, and while sending them, he was also searching on Baidu how to use the nine-grid layout…
It took him half an hour to send the message “Goodnight”.
Huo Jingchuan: …
Huo Jingchuan slowly retreated through the door, remembering his expression like an old man looking at a mobile phone… He genuinely suspected this kid was some kind of ancient Chinese dragon boy who had just emerged from an ancient tomb. What era is this? He can’t even type?!
….
Amidst the bewilderment of Huo Jingchuan, the next morning finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Su Xi came to find the two of them with takeout. She had already eaten herself, so she bought three bowls of wontons and brought them over. Huo Jingchuan was still sleeping in, so she poured two and a half bowls into Lu Huan’s bowl and said to him, “Eat more, you’ve never tried this way of cooking before, have you?”
Lu Huan had spent the previous six months on military campaigns, so he always ate very quickly, trying to save time whenever possible. Even so, his eating manners were still quite elegant, and his every move exuded the air of an ancient young general. Even though he had taken off his bright yellow dragon-embroidered robe from yesterday and was wearing simple short sleeves and trousers, he still looked very different from people from this world. Of course, those who did not know his background would simply take it as his innate nobility.
Su Xi sat on a small stool next to the coffee table, smiling as she watched him eat, resting her chin on her hand. She felt like she could watch him all day long. Sure enough, if you’re good-looking, you could become famous even as a food vlogger.
Lu Huan put down his chopsticks and looked up. He saw the look of satisfaction in her eyes, as if she were watching her son, and felt utterly helpless.
I don’t know when it will be possible to completely erase the image of myself as a little one from her mind.
Thinking of this, Lu Huan went from sitting upright to standing up, then he lowered his head, and said to Su Xi, “Xiao Xi, excuse me, I’m going to pack these up and throw them away.”
Su Xi looked up at him: “Huh?” The road is so wide, do you still need me to move?
Before she could react, Lu Huan slowly leaned forward, lifted her chair, along with her, and moved it to the side. When he exerted force with his arms, the muscle lines on the boy’s thin arms became visible, but not exaggeratedly. Instead, they had a sense of strength between a boy and a mature man, as well as the beauty added by his fair skin.
He paused deliberately in mid-air and glanced down at Su Xi.
Su Xi’s eyes widened as she was easily moved aside and put down: …
What are you doing? Showing off your strength? How arrogant!
However, it must be said that when Lu Huan got so close, his chest slowly approaching, the fresh scent of youthful hormones wafting towards her, Su Xi couldn’t possibly associate the tall, slender boy in front of her with that chubby face.
Lu Huan waited until her cheeks slowly turned red before calmly tidying up the plastic dishes and chopsticks and strolling into the kitchen.
After sleeping in, Huo Jingchuan discovered that the bowl of wontons Su Xi had brought him only contained two lonely dumplings: …
Damn it!
