Chapter 11: See clearly in the future
What is the concept of traveling through ancient times and into the present?
I, Huangfu Xiacao, have always been a persistent and brave child. If it weren’t for this, I would not have successfully developed the “Super Crossing Magic Spirit”.
Hehe, I smiled triumphantly.
Grandpa said that the time-travel potion can not only allow you to go back to the past, but also travel to the future.
then--
The drizzle hit the ground like cow hair.
I finished my last summer homework very carefully, and only after checking that it was correct did I put the exercise book into my schoolbag.
Today is the last day of my appointment with Chu Yuanxi!
It’s so boring. Chu Yuanxi went to practice basketball, Luo Xiaoman went on a date, and Junjun seemed to have gone back to his hometown to visit his grandparents.
So what should I do?
I looked left and right, up and down, and finally fixed my eyes on the bottle of time-travel potion on the bedside table.
Oh, it's used up so quickly, it's almost gone, I don't know if I can succeed in developing it next time! I haven't even done a single thing.
Grandpa has read about the history of five thousand years, so should I go and see it too?
Thinking of this, I quickly chanted a spell and arrived at the eve of Qin Shihuang's unification of the six kingdoms.
I am a Qin fan, so I really want to see the first swordsman of Qin, Gai Nie. However, I searched the entire Qin Palace and didn't see Uncle Gai.
Just as I was about to go back in frustration, I suddenly saw a man walking towards me with a long sword on his back.
My heart was in my throat. That person looked so familiar!
As he slowly approached, my eyes widened. That man, that man looked exactly like Jin Yixin, his cold eyes, his handsome features, exactly like Jin Yixin -
Didn’t I travel back in time to the Qin State?
How could Jin Yixin be here?
Wait, the towering palaces around don’t look like they were built by the crew at all. Could it be that Jin Yixin is Gai Nie, Jing Ke’s good friend?
No way!
So who is Jing Ke?
Before I could imagine, I saw a swordsman in black appear. As soon as they met, they greeted each other as "Brother Gai" and "Brother Jing".
Ahhh——
Is this black-clad swordsman Jing Ke? How, how come he looks so much like Chu Yuanxi?
It turns out that the two of them have such a deep historical connection!
I quickly chanted a spell and left Daqin! I really don't know what horrors I will encounter when traveling through the long river of history. Luo Xiaoman often said that I was born with a tragic constitution. Well, I admit that I am tragic. Even the uncle Gai Nie that I have always been obsessed with is actually the predecessor of Jin Yixin.
Ahem! I didn't expect this!
I quickly moved through the time and space of history and saw many people and things that I wanted to see.
However, there is one depressing thing, that is, in the story of "A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House", the male protagonist is actually Chu Yuanxi, and the female protagonist is actually me.
Woohoo…
I am so pitiful! Well, Chu Yuanxi, just wait and see, you actually bullied me so much in the Han Dynasty, wait and see how I will deal with you in the future!
After reading about China's 5,000-year history, I always feel like something is missing.
bite--
Got it!
I want to see the future of Chu Yuanxi and I, as well as the future of Su Qianlan and Jin Yixin.
I chanted the spell again and arrived at a day 50 years later!
The gentle sunlight shines on the ground, reflecting a peach blossom forest filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
Under the peach blossom forest, there are two old people holding hands. Their faces are full of wrinkles and they don’t look like they were when they were young, but judging from their figures, they are not fat.
Moreover, the old man was dressed very fashionably, and the old lady was also very trendy.
"Hey, daredevil, let's eat fish tonight!" The old man suddenly spoke with a faint smile on his face, like the glow under the setting sun, gentle and lovely.
Stop, stop, this trendy old guy is Chu Yuanxi?
I blinked hard, and then recalled, recalled. Yes, yes, I came to 50 years later, and now we are all over 60 years old.
And, and, it’s been 50 years, why is that guy still calling me a daredevil? Woohoo…
"Sure, remember to add more chili!" The old lady, oh, no, it should be me 50 years later, smiling at Chu Yuanxi 50 years later.
I feel so happy!
But it’s a bit strange that even though I’m so old, I can’t speak or move very well.
Well, 50 years is indeed a bit long, so let me go and see ourselves when we were younger!
So, I traveled back to 2015, when we were still very young.
Hey, hey, this place is so crowded! And there are so many people! How come I can't tell which one is me?
"Chu Yuanxi, Chu Yuanxi, get out here!" Suddenly a familiar roar came from the darkness, carrying murderous intent and attacking.
In an instant, the noisy surroundings became quiet!
Countless eyes, like me, looked curiously towards the source of the sound. I saw a person wearing... I blinked and rubbed my eyes. No way, did I become like this in 2015?
How horrible! How horrible! Everyone else was wearing evening gowns, but I was holding a dog in my arms, wearing a large T-shirt with Chu Yuanxi's cartoon image printed on it, and I was walking through the streets in a menacing manner.
"No, it's so embarrassing! Huangfu Xiacao, go back , go back to me quickly!" I suddenly rushed over and blocked the future me.
When the 2015 version of me saw me now, he was startled at first, then he immediately seemed to understand something, suddenly reached out and grabbed me and walked out, saying as he walked, "I'm telling you, kick Chu Yuanxi out right now, otherwise, you will regret it later."
"Ah——" I in the future was not surprised by the present me, but said such a magical thing...
"Don't say 'ah' anymore. Go back and kick him out, then find someone else to be your boyfriend." She said it seriously, with fire in her big eyes, as if Chu Yuanxi had done something wrong to me.
"Why?" I have to ask clearly, and Chu Yuanxi and I are so happy 50 years later. If I kick him now, I will definitely regret it later.
"Because he likes another girl." My future self said shockingly.
"Ah - no way, he is so devoted to me!" I curled the corners of my mouth. I would never believe that Chu Yuanxi would do such a thing.
but--
The sequel to the story of "A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House" is that Emperor Wu of Han fell in love with the singer Wei Zifu? And he divorced me! Oh, oh, of course it wasn't me, it was Chen Ajiao who looked a lot like me.
I shuddered with fear. It seemed that I really needed to have a good talk with Chu Yuanxi.
Just as I was chanting the spell and preparing to go back, I suddenly saw a familiar figure, Chu-Chu-Chu Yuanxi?
I stared with wide eyes at the man with a bald head, wearing a pair of big sunglasses, walking in a very cool way, and looking very much like the villain played by Sun Honglei.
I pulled my 2015 self, too surprised to say a word: "That, that, he, he is——"
"See! He's been going crazy lately. He's very proud of being selected for the national team and even shaved his head. So, I say, you should divorce him as soon as possible!" I said gritting my teeth in 2015, and then without waiting for Chu Yuanxi to come over, I pounced on him.
As he pounced, he said, "Chu Yuanxi, you bastard, plant your hair, plant it quickly, or I will break up with you."
I shuddered with fear. There are some things that the person involved does not know, but once you see other people's interpretation, you immediately feel a different taste in your mouth.
It turns out I am really so barbaric!
But, actually, Chu Yuanxi still looks good with a shaved head!
I chanted the spell again and the scene changed.
Time and space flow, it is the summer of 2012.
A familiar sound of music came from the coffee shop where the temperature was just right. Following the sound, I saw a white grand piano and a girl with black hair and a white dress sitting in front of the piano.
Is it Su Qianlan?
What about Jin Yixin?
I quickly looked around the coffee shop and finally my eyes fell on a corner where Jin Yixin was sitting quietly in white casual clothes.
Wow--
I can't suppress my excitement anymore. Jin Yixin's profile is so cool, so handsome and so cool!
The way he looked at Su Qianlan was so gentle and affectionate!
Is he going to have to watch like this forever?
A flash of light flashed through my mind, and I immediately chanted the spell and traveled to 2022.
Familiar environment, familiar music, familiar white dress, familiar scene, familiar eyes!
No way, doesn't Jin Yixin feel tired? Wouldn't he have a crooked neck if he keeps doing this for decades?
No, I want to watch more, so I traveled to a certain day 50 years later. I must see if Jin Yixin and Su Qianlan will still play the piano and watch .
The bleak autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves, and the heavy and powerful sound of piano floated from the white European-style house. Through the window, two figures can be seen, an old lady and an old man. The old lady is playing the piano, and the old man is sitting beside her, listening with fascination.
Wow wow wow——
I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore!
I lay on the bed in confusion, thinking about the scenes I had just seen when I traveled through time!
Jin Yixin and Su Qianlan, ah, I couldn't help but shake my head, no wonder I failed every time before, their love is obviously stronger than gold!
"It's 4:30 p.m." The wall clock told the time dutifully.
One second, two seconds, three seconds——
Ah, I quickly jumped out of bed, changed my clothes, and ran to the balcony as fast as I could.
Today is the last day of my appointment with Chu Yuanxi. He wants me to give him the final answer at 4:33.
Well, I made a good decision.
When I ran to the balcony, Chu Yuanxi also appeared. He still had a big bag of delicious food in his hand, ready to throw it to me from the air.
"Well, I don't want to eat today." I swallowed. In order not to grow a belly, I should change my bad habit of eating snacks.
Although, from time to time, I would glance at the big bag of delicious food with the corner of my eyes, including grapes, oranges, strawberries, bananas, jelly, potato chips, QQ candy, etc. Alas, Chu Yuanxi really knows me well!
"Hey, daredevil, I'm waiting for your answer!" Chu Yuanxi had a smile on his face and kept turning the Coke in his hand.
I once again took a look at the tempting food and took a deep breath. For the sake of my figure, I said I would not eat it, I would not eat it, I would hold it in, hold it in...
But, this is intolerable! So, I reached out and snatched the Coke from Chu Yuanxi's hand, opened it, tilted my head back and drank it down. It tasted really good.
I looked up at Chu Yuanxi and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yuanxi smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't we agree to confirm your answer today? Two weeks have passed, what is your decision?"
"Oh!" I just remembered this, looked Chu Yuanxi up and down, and said with a smile, "As for the answer, actually, I already have it!"
"Then, what is that?" Chu Yuanxi, who was always very confident, actually started to stutter, and he looked so cute when he was nervous.
I rolled my eyes and stared at him for a long, long time...
"Well, if I say that we are not suitable for each other, would you believe it?" I finished my Coke, snatched his bag and started eating bananas and oranges.
Chu Yuanxi pulled the corners of his mouth, took several deep breaths, and finally shook his head: "I don't believe it."
"Why?"
"Because Huangfu Xiacao has been bribed by my delicious food. If she doesn't agree to date me, she will never be able to eat so many free delicious foods again." What is Chu Yuanxi, this guy who deserves a beating, saying?
"You are so conceited!" I picked up the orange in my hand and threw it over.
Chu Yuanxi quickly dodged to the side. I threw again, and he dodged again...
I throw, I throw, I throw again...
What happened? I remember there were a lot of things to throw away here! I turned around and saw an empty bag lying next to me. Oh my god!
I blinked my eyes. Oops, I was so excited that I threw all the food I had eaten and the food I hadn't eaten yet.
"Reckless bastard!" Chu Yuanxi's pitiful voice rang out.
look up!
ah--
Banana Taro?
The banana peel was like a hat, covering his head firmly.
"Haha, haha..." I clapped my hands, feeling proud, when suddenly someone pulled my hair, and then I heard my mother's ferocious voice floating from behind me: "Huangfu Xiacao, I asked you to clean up the house this morning, did you do it?"
Ahhh——
I slowly turned my head, looked at my mother with an adorable smile, and said weakly, "Well, I haven't yet!"
"Pa——" Mom slapped me rudely and said through gritted teeth, "I asked you to clean up your room but you didn't do it properly. Instead, you came to the balcony and bullied Yuan Xi!"
What?
How could I bully him?
"Why are you staring at me? Go back and clean up. Once you're done, go help Yuan Xi wash his clothes."
What? Mom has a fever?
"Hurry up, a girl doesn't know how to do housework, she only knows how to play!"
Oh my god, could it be that my mother accidentally knocked over the bottle of truth potion when she was cleaning Grandpa's room? Looking at her current appearance, she is comparable to Wen Yaya that day!
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, the summer vacation is over.
As for me, I reluctantly agreed to officially start dating Chu Yuanxi.
It feels like it's about the same as before. We are not like Jin Yixin and Su Qianlan, one playing the piano and the other sitting next to listen for the rest of their lives. Of course, because I am Huangfu Xiacao, not Su Qianlan, and Chu Yuanxi is not Jin Yixin.
When I arrived at school, Luo Xiaoman looked listless when she heard the news. She didn't scream with excitement, nor did she hug me. She only said, "You little girl, you're so lucky to have such a good boyfriend!"
After saying that, she started drawing her comics again.
When Junjun heard this, half of the egg in his mouth fell into the bowl, and then a bowl of thick soup splashed out.
Just like that, when all the girls in the school saw me, they just said, "Oh, that's Mr. Chu's girlfriend."
It doesn't seem to have caused public outrage, hehe...
As expected, it is because I, Huangfu Xiacao, have good character that I was able to escape everyone's blame so easily!
However, there is one thing that makes me depressed, that is, Chu Yuanxi, that bastard, has been getting close to a beautiful girl who studies art recently, and I heard that he even accepted a gift from her. Ahem, ahem, that is, a love letter.
I was furious, but I didn't know how to punish him.
bite--
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. My cousin Huangfu Dongchong started school half a month later than us, and he hasn't left for school yet. Hehe, I can ask him for help.
"Huangfu Xiacao, come out quickly, look who's coming!" At this moment, my grandfather shouted at me downstairs. I quickly put on my shoes and ran out. At this time, could it be that the winter worms are coming?
I was immediately overjoyed and rushed downstairs.
Sure enough, when I saw the savior on the sofa, I rushed over like a fly.
"Plop——" Winter Worm was knocked down by me magnificently, and coughed several times while struggling.
"Huangfu Xiacao, don't you see how old you are now? You will definitely crush your brother to death!" Grandpa reminded me of my weight in a disappointing manner.
Woohoo, I feel sad when I mention this. I am miserable. I used to keep my weight at around 90 catties. Since I started dating Chu Yuanxi, my weight has skyrocketed. However, this does not affect my brother-sister relationship with Dong Chong.
"Brother, school is about to start. You must be reluctant to leave us, right?" I forced a big smile and walked towards my room with Dong Chong in my arm.
"Uh, it's okay..." Dong Chong didn't understand what I was going to do and looked alert.
My grandfather looked at me sideways, but I pretended not to see him.
I pulled Winter Worm into my room and quickly closed the door.
"Brother, I know you are the best!" I still smiled as beautifully as a flower, took out the clothes that had been prepared long ago from the closet and handed them to Dong Chong.
Dong Chong frowned, looked at me pitifully and said, "Hey, Xia Cao, my dear sister, my real sister, my only sister in this world, please let me go, and let your brother who is about to travel thousands of miles to study in a foreign land!"
Looking at him, he really has a talent for acting. I underestimated him before.
"I heard from grandpa that my brother took first place in the acting class and also received a reward from the school." I sat on the bed, swinging my feet.
Dong Chong nodded, with a bitter face, and sighed: "Yes, who told me that I am the most handsome man in the world, and my acting skills are even more unmatched in the world?"
Huangfu Dongchong is indeed more shameless than me, he can even say such disgusting words.
But he was the one who wanted to jump into the fire pit, I didn't push him!
"Hehe!" I laughed evilly, jumped in front of Dong Chong, picked up the clothes and compared them to him, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem for the brother to play the role of the sister!"
"Ah, no, my figure is completely different from yours. Even a fool can see that I'm an enlarged version." Although Dong Chong muttered, he seemed to want to give it a try and went into the bathroom without me pushing him.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
The bathroom door moved, and then with a "bang" , an enlarged version of Huangfu Xiacao stood at the door.
"Wow, wow, wow..." I couldn't believe my eyes. Was the person standing in front of me Huangfu Xiacao or Huangfu Dongchong? No wonder my grandfather said that when I was a child, many neighbors mistook Dongchong for me and mistook me for Dongchong.
In other words, if Chu Yuanxi saw the winter worm, he would definitely think it was me.
So be it!
I patted Dong Chong's shoulder solemnly and said, "Brother, your sister's happiness for the rest of her life is in your hands."
Dong Chong immediately understood and said, "Okay, what do you want me to do now?"
"I'll call Chu Yuanxi and ask him to come over. Then you go to the chair downstairs and wait." Dong Chong and I went our separate ways. I called Chu Yuanxi's home and asked him to come downstairs. He quickly agreed.
I lay on the windowsill and watched Chu Yuanxi walk out of the building, then I immediately ran quickly into Chu Yuanxi's house.
I'm just like a bandit. Where did Chu Yuanxi hide all those letters?
I heard that the beautiful girl who was good at drawing had frequent correspondence with him, and it seemed that she would come to our high school to study after graduating from junior high school.
No matter what, for the sake of Huangfu Xiacao's happiness in the rest of her life, I must find those letters and return them all to let that girl know that Chu Yuanxi and she are not from the same planet.
But why can’t I find it?
Just when I was flipping through the pages enthusiastically, suddenly -
"What are you doing, you daredevil?"
Hearing this voice, my heart started beating wildly. Turning my head, Chu Yuanxi was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, looking at me with complicated eyes.
I pulled the corners of my mouth, put my hands behind my back, and said with a silly smile: "Nothing, hehe, I just saw a cockroach, oh, yes, cockroach!"
When I thought of Xiaoqiang, I became energized and started slapping the slippers in my hand.
"Xia Cao, stop pretending. I have already confessed to Chu Yuanxi!" Dong Chong's voice came over at a very good time. I turned my head and saw him with his head down, looking pitiful as if he was waiting to be scolded.
"You, you--" I blinked my eyes. I was so pissed off by Huangfu Dongchong. He was supposed to be a top student from the Beijing Film Academy, but I was stunned. He couldn't even act this cross-dressing role well.
"Are you looking for Xiaomei's letter?" Chu Yuanxi said with a smile on his face. He took out two letters from the closet and handed them to me.
I looked at the address on the envelope and my hands trembled a little. That was clearly the address of the orphanage I visited last time!
"Actually, you have seen her. She is the little sister who has a disability in her legs and is very beautiful in drawing." Chu Yuanxi's voice was soft, and I couldn't tell whether she was angry or not, and my face turned red immediately.
It’s all that naughty girl Luo Xiaoman’s fault. She said something like Chu Yuanxi was about to be snatched away by a pretty young lady studying art!
I raised my head and said with a silly smile: "Well, well, hehe, actually, I already knew it a long time ago, but, I think..."
As I spoke, I handed the envelope to him, then lowered my head and walked out dejectedly. But suddenly, I felt someone pulling my hair, and then I was pulled back.
"You reckless guy, I think my house needs to be cleaned up now, so I'll leave this place to you!" After Chu Yuanxi said this, he put his hand on Dong Chong's shoulder and walked out.
What's the meaning?
Do you want me to clean up by myself?
Woohoo…
Not fair!
Huangfu Dongchong, if you treat me like this, be careful or I will turn you into a frog!
And Chu Yuanxi, don’t think you are a hero, I will turn you into a shrimp!
As I cleaned up the mess I had made in the room, I cursed Huangfu Dongchong and Chu Yuanxi viciously. I wish you would get bitten by a dog when you go out, and get tadpoles when you drink water...
