At eight in the morning, Chen Lan naturally woke up and opened her eyes. She was stunned for a moment, quickly closed her eyes again, and then reopened them. What she saw was still the same as before, with no change. What was happening?
Before her were four bedposts carved with golden peony vine patterns. The canopy of the bed was decorated with carved flower panels, on which were painted various flowers and birds in colored lacquer. The three sides of the bed enclosure were divided into three tiers, with carved eaves panels depicting auspicious symbols: some carved with Buddha's hand, symbolizing happiness, and butterfly patterns; others with pomegranate, persimmon, and grape patterns, symbolizing fertility; and still others with the "wanzi" (swastika) pattern, symbolizing good fortune.
Chen Lan was stunned by the sight! A carved bed? Ah... this was a treasure! An antique! She was rich! She got up and raised her hand, intending to touch it, only to find her phone still in her hand.
This made Chen Lan completely sober! Ah! Something was wrong? How was she sleeping in a carved bed? Yesterday she was clearly lying in her Simmons mattress at home, frantically trying to grab tissues. Could it have been that lightning strike? Had it sent her through time? Ah! Ah!... She had time-traveled just like that? She hadn't prepared anything! Her new house, bought with her hard-earned money from decades of saving and frugality, she had only lived in it for three years! She hadn't lived enough! (Although she still preferred houses with front and back yards, but she didn't have the money for one.)
Dad, Mom! I'm sorry! I can't be filial to you anymore. I'm sorry! I'm sorry...
Daughter, Mom can't bicker with you anymore! Although the inheritance I left you isn't much, it's enough to buy snacks for the rest of your life! Hehehehe!
No more thinking! What will be, will be!
Pull yourself together! Come on! Come on!
The most important thing right now is: can the phone be used? Did she bring any cheat codes?
Chen Lan quickly picked up her phone, unlocked it, and tapped it open. The phone screen was still on the page she was browsing yesterday, but it seemed a little different. The page design was simpler and more intuitive, with only three options: Buy, Sell, and Warehouse.
Chen Lan tapped on Buy, to test it! She wanted to see the status of the tissues she had frantically grabbed yesterday. As soon as she tapped, a delivery notification appeared: Your package has been placed in the system warehouse. Please check it. Thank you!
Chen Lan was bewildered! So fast? This speed? But that wasn't the point!
The key was, she had time-traveled, and she could still receive express delivery? How... how should she put it?
No more thinking, if time travel can happen, what else can't happen?
The urgent thing was to quickly check if there were any tissues in the warehouse? Were they the same as what she bought yesterday?
Tapping on Warehouse, a dialog box appeared on the screen. Below the dialog box were two options: Extract and Store. She decisively tapped Extract, and a large parcel immediately appeared on the bed. Opening it, she saw the tissues she had bought yesterday. Just as she was about to try buying something else, she heard voices outside the door. Chen Lan instinctively thought of putting the tissues back into the warehouse, and the tissues immediately vanished from the bed, along with the outer packaging.
The voices outside continued, and there was a gentle knock on the door. A tender female voice called out: Lan'er, are you awake yet? Lan'er...
Chen Lan immediately became nervous and flustered! She quickly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She quickly told herself to stay calm! Calm!
