In the magical city, the moonlight is dim, and neon lights flash among the skyscrapers.

Fengxi Pavilion

As the curtains opened, a voluptuous young girl appeared behind a large floor-to-ceiling window.

The girl held a goblet in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. She looked through the window and took in the bustling neon lights outside the window.

It has been three days since I returned to the present day.

The day she came back was late at night.

After finding out that she had really returned to modern times, Wen Minghua was not in a hurry to see her parents whom she had not seen for decades, nor was she in a hurry to cancel her ticket for travel. Instead, she immediately booked a flight to Beijing.

She was going to meet someone very important to her, someone who had been with her for more than forty years.

However, she was still late.

On the first day she came back, that child, who was only 21 years old, was alone in the hospital, closing his eyes forever.

She didn't meet the child's parents, nor did she ask where the child would be buried, because she knew that she should have woken up in another time and space.

There, she will have parents and siblings who love her, and she will live a safe and healthy life;
There, she can pursue her ideals bravely and courageously;
There, she will find a lover who loves her deeply and whom she loves deeply.

Wen Minghua did not feel sad when she saw no one. Instead, she returned to Shanghai and canceled her boat ticket for the trip.

"Huahua, if you don't go, what's the point of just me and Xiaohan going?"

Since I won't be traveling, I would like to say hello to the best friend I made an appointment with before.

It was already afternoon when she returned to Shanghai. She took a shower and had a good sleep before calling her best friend Zhu Zhu, who had gone to sea with her in the past.

"I have an emergency here, so I can only wait until next time, Zhu Zhu, how about you and Xiaohan wait until I'm free?"

It was this trip that turned her into a monster that was neither human nor ghost. How could she do it again knowing the outcome?
As for her good friends Zhu Zhu and Wen Xiaohan, their luck was good. Until she took her own life, they were still alive and well without any symptoms.

But this time she changed the script. Who knows if she didn't go, someone else would become the victim instead of her?
She couldn't control other people she didn't know, and she couldn't open her mouth to tell people that nuclear wastewater entering the sea would cause mutations, but she could still stop her best friend.

The person on the other side seemed to be thinking about it, and then there was a rustling and faint male voice. Wen Minghua paused for a moment before continuing:
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the mountain city before? Then after I finish my busy work these days, wouldn't it be the same if we took a boat there?"

Is it better to stay safe at home and go on long voyages at sea, at least in recent years?
Zhu Zhu is an unmarried person and is two years older than her. They share a common hobby, that is, going out for a walk when they have time.

Of course, what they see more of is the handsome and charming little brother.

Thinking of her little brother, the corners of Wen Minghua's lips curved, and her smile disappeared instantly.

She wanted to be nervous.

I don't know what he will do if he is left alone after she leaves.
"Okay, then you can tell Xiaohan yourself."

Zhu Zhu's somewhat sweet voice interrupted Wen Minghua's momentary distraction.

As the busy tone rang on the other end of the phone, she shook her head and laughed:
Is this a good thing to disturb her?
He also hung up the phone to Wen Xiaohan, who was still working overtime.

She wailed first:
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. It just so happens that I'll go back and take a look at the weekend. I don't know what happened to the old lady at home."

"..."

If she hadn't heard her mention the old queen, she would have forgotten that it was time to go back and meet her parents.

"Okay, good luck to you."

Wen Minghua couldn't help laughing and hung up the phone.

Wen Xiaohan is one of the partners of a simultaneous interpretation studio. Although she is as old as her, she has been on a blind date for five years. Yes, when Wen Xiaohan graduated from college, her mother started arranging blind dates for her.

Over the past five years, the mother and daughter have been fighting wits and courage. One of them is not in a hurry to get married, and always uses various excuses to avoid every meeting with her blind date.

One of them never gives up and always finds various opportunities for Wen Xiaohan to go on a blind date.

After drinking the remaining Yakult in the cup, Wen Minghua closed the curtains again. She had to change clothes and go out to find food.

……

"Hey, do you still remember which way the door at home opens?"

Wen Minghua didn't sleep until she woke up naturally the next day, then drove back to her parents' residence in the Outer Ring Road.

Her mother, Ms. Cheng Lingrong, snorted coldly when she opened the door and saw her.

"..."

Wen Minghua wanted to hold her forehead, but finally remembered that she was once a person who would never go home unless there was an emergency call from home, or if it was not during the holidays.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, so I thought you must have missed me, so I hurriedly came back to see you? Since I'm not welcome back, how about I leave?"

She pretended to close the door and then turned to leave, but her mother grabbed her:
"You stop for my old lady."

She glanced at Wen Minghua, pulled him into the house, and closed the door with a bang:
"Tell me, what happened?"

Obviously, she suspected that Wen Minghua had encountered something she couldn't solve because of his sudden return home.

"..."

Well, it had been so many years since anyone had dared to say "I am old lady" in front of her. She was really... a little uncomfortable after such a long time.

"Where's my dad?"

As she walked into the house, she kept looking at the large flat floor of 180 square meters.

The layout of four rooms and two living rooms was very warm, but because only her parents lived there, the room seemed a bit deserted.

There was no sound from behind, and when she looked back, she saw her mother's suspicious eyes.

She shouldn't have come back.

She held her forehead and stepped forward to hug her mother's shoulders:

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that you had a fight with my father and said something about divorce."

She tilted her head and lowered her eyes to look at her mother's somewhat unnatural face:

"Hey! You're not really going to quarrel with my dad, are you?"

In fact, her parents did have a fight in the past two days because they still wanted to arrange a blind date for her.

Her father has always felt that she came back to them relatively late, and she doesn't want to get married now, so it doesn't matter if she does it later.

As for her mother, she actually doesn't necessarily want her to get married now, but it's just people she knows or doesn't know. The older the child is, the less she wants her partner to get married, and she is worried that she will become one of them.

In her words, when you meet the right person, you can get along first and then get married when the time is up.

Speaking of which, it's not a big deal for a couple to quarrel, but who would let this usually small thing become an eternal regret for their family of three?
