In 2036, novels set off a craze all over the world and replaced mobile phones as a necessity for people. Today, no matter where you go, you will find that everyone has a novel in their hands, and they will open it and read it when they have nothing to do. Since when did people gradually stop being addicted to mobile phones and start enjoying the pleasure of reading? Therefore, novel software companies have made a lot of money in recent years.

The protagonist of the story, Lin Yuxi, and her friend Xie Yue, jointly opened a novel software development company - Xiyue in 2026. At the beginning, Xiyue was just a small company with only Lin Yuxi and Xie Yue in the studio. Later, after their continuous efforts, Xiyue has become a listed company with more than 300 employees, and Lin Yuxi is still Xiyan, the first on the Xiyue APP novel author rankings.

Xiyue Group, Lin Yuxi’s office.

Lin Yuxi had just finished a meeting and was about to take a break. She opened her phone and logged into her Weibo to see what her fans had left her recently. As soon as she opened Weibo, a page with an advertisement for a time-travel machine came into view. Lin Yuxi didn't think much about it, thinking it was another advertisement from the novel software company. She was about to swipe away, but accidentally clicked on it and saw that the phone interface began to spin automatically. Lin Yuxi pressed the return button but found that it was useless, so she could only let it spin on its own.

About a minute later, the machine stopped spinning and a few words appeared on the page - Congratulations to Ms. Lin Yuxi for winning the first prize - the world's only time-space machine. Lin Yuxi looked at these words and felt it was ridiculous. It was simply mentally retarded that there were still such scammers in this day and age. After that, she clicked exit and put the phone on the desk with the screen off.

Lin Yuxi turned her chair around, still thinking about the time-space shuttle: "If only there really was such a thing in the world, I could go back and save her. Sigh."

Lin Yuxi failed the college entrance examination and went to an ordinary undergraduate university, but through her own efforts during college, she successfully became a graduate student of Beihua University, and later studied for a doctorate. However, the only flaw is that Lin Yuxi is still single now. It was only because she liked someone when she was young and confessed to that boy, but failed in the end. Lin Yuxi said that if she let it go, she would let it go. Since then, she has never had the idea of ​​falling in love. She only wants to make money and develop her career.

Lin Yuxi was thinking when the phone on the table rang. Lin Yuxi picked up the phone and pressed the answer button: "Hello."

"Hello, is this Ms. Lin Yuxi?" A female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Yuxi: “Yes.”

"Hello, Ms. Lin. We are from the Time and Space Travel Agency. You just won a time and space machine on Weibo. Do you remember it? We provide in-store pickup and home delivery. Ms. Lin, would you like to come to our store to pick it up yourself? Or will we deliver it to your residence?" said the girl on the phone.

Before Yuxi could reply to the girl, the voice of assistant Xiao Liu came from outside the door: "Boss Lin, Jiashang Group has sent the contract. Do you want to see it now?"

Lin Yuxi nodded: "Send it over."

Assistant Xiao Liu invited the people from Jiashang Group to walk into Lin Yuxi's office. At this time, Lin Yuxi forgot that she was still on a call. After putting the phone on the table, she started talking about business with the people from Jiashang.

When the girl on the other end of the phone heard Lin Yuxi say "Send it over", she said OK and hung up.

When Lin Yuxi remembered that she had not finished the call, she found that the phone had been hung up. Lin Yuxi did not think much about it and just thought it was a scam call. After finishing the business, it was already noon. It was time for lunch. In the past, Xiao Liu helped her deliver lunch to the office, but today Lin Yuxi decided to go to the company restaurant to eat on a whim.

Lin Yuxi came to the restaurant, and when the people in the company saw Lin Yuxi, they all went up to say hello.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Hello, Mr. Lin..."

Lin Yuxi also smiled and replied to them: "Hello, you guys eat your food, I'll just take a look, just pretend you didn't see me."

Lin Yuxi said as she walked into the restaurant.

The people below were whispering

Someone said: "Mr. Lin is a very nice person."

"Of course they do. Both Mr. Lin and Mr. Xie have good tempers, and Mr. Lin is the number one novel author on the list." A woman said proudly.

"Xi Yan? Xi Yan, the author of "Wind Travels 20,000 Miles", my god, I saw a living Xi Yan."

"Boss Lin is so amazing! He is the CEO of Xiyue and Xiyan, who has been number one in the novel rankings for many years. She is beautiful and has a good personality. Ah, what a fairy woman. I want to marry her. When I read the novel "Wind Travels 20,000 Miles", I cried for several nights."

"Me too, me too. The feeling of not being able to get the love you want is really too painful."

"I heard from inside sources that 'Wind Travels 20,000 Miles' is the true story of General Lin. When I watched it, I felt sorry for them because they loved each other so much but didn't end up together."

Several people nodded and secretly looked at Lin Yuxi who was getting her meal. The restaurant staff were shocked when they saw Lin Yuxi. Why did President Lin come to the restaurant to eat in person? Seeing the nervous look of the staff, Lin Yuxi realized that she was disturbing the company employees' interest by eating here, so she packed up the meal and took it back to the office.

Lin Yuxi was about to leave when the girl who was full of fangirling just now came over nervously: "Lin, Mr. Lin, I am a loyal fan of your novels. Can I have an autograph from you?"

Lin Yuxi smiled and said gently, "Of course." and put the food on the table.

When the girl heard Lin Yuxi's words, she excitedly took out a small notebook from her bag and handed it to Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi opened the notebook and wrote her name "Xiyan - Lin Yuxi" on the first page. Then she handed the notebook to the girl. The girl held the notebook lovingly and kept saying, "Thank you, Mr. Lin..."

Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "You're welcome, let's go eat."

"Yes, okay, Mr. Lin."

……

Everyone present envied the girl who got Lin Yuxi's autograph, because it was signed by Xiyan herself, and they all regretted why they were so cowardly.

Lin Yuxi walked back to the office with the lunch and found a courier box on the table. She was very puzzled as she didn't buy anything. Without thinking, Lin Yuxi moved the box aside and opened the lunch box. The aroma of the food filled her nose and she immediately began to eat with relish.

Lin Yuxi's phone kept ringing with WeChat message notification sounds. Lin Yuxi took the phone out of her pocket and found that they were from her high school class group, which had been silent for more than ten years. Lin Yuxi clicked on it and found that many messages were tagged to her.

"@林雨汐, hello everyone, I have a big news to tell you today. Our old classmate, Lin Yuxi is actually the famous Xiyan." The first message was sent by Chen Jianan. Chen Jianan and Lin Yuxi were classmates in junior high school and high school, and they have always had a good relationship.

"Fuck, is that true? Chen Jianan."

"It's true."

"@林雨汐..."

The following are all tagged to Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi felt like her head was about to explode when she saw the news. Xie Yue was the only one who knew her identity among her former classmates. It went without a doubt that it was Xie Yue who leaked it. Lin Yuxi took a screenshot, found Xie Yue's pinned chat box, and sent it to Xie Yue with three question marks.

"Hehe." Xie Yue immediately smiled back at her.

Lin Yuxi was speechless and sent a string of ellipsis.

Xie Yue: "Listen to my explanation. I can explain it."

"Just make excuses."

Xie Yue spent ten minutes explaining to Lin Yuxi that she met Chen Jianan when she returned to her hometown. The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Chen Jianan suddenly asked about Lin Yuxi's recent situation. Xie Yue accidentally revealed Lin Yuxi Xiyan's identity.

"Okay, Xie Yue, I'll let you go back to your hometown, and you'll go back and betray me." Lin Yuxi said speechlessly.

Xie Yue: “Hehe.”

Lin Yuxi received many private messages on her phone, all asking her if what Chen Jianan said was true. Lin Yuxi was too lazy to reply one by one, so she clicked into the class group and replied to the message that Chen Jianan had mentioned herself, "Yes, I am Xiyan." The group exploded again.

"Fuck, Xiyan, live like Xiyan..."

……

After Lin Yuxi sent the message, she no longer paid attention to the messages in the group and continued eating.

Xie Yue sent another message: "I didn't reveal your identity as Xiyue's president."

"Should I thank you? Aren't you too?" Lin Yuxi said.

Xie Yue sent a laughing emoji: "Xixi, I have something else to do. I will take my leave now."

"Step back." Lin Yuxi replied.

Xie Yue sent a goodbye message and disappeared.

After Lin Yuxi finished her meal, she was dealing with company affairs when she suddenly received a call.

"Hey?"

There was no answer from the other end of the phone, so Lin Yuxi thought it was a wrong number and hung up. Lin Yuxi complained, "Why do I keep getting these weird calls today?"

Not long after, Lin Yuxi received another text message. She clicked on it and saw the following message: "I am Chen Yangxu, Lin Yuxi, hello. I didn't expect that you are now a famous writer. Congratulations on achieving your dream."

Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment. It had been more than ten years since she heard this name again. Chen Yangxu - the man who amazed Lin Yuxi throughout her high school years. His name was as his personality, with a sunny and cheerful personality.

In Lin Yuxi's memory, he always had a smile on his face. Although he had a sharp tongue, he would always comfort herself when she was sad and gave Lin Yuxi confidence. After the passage of time, Lin Yuxi was no longer as lively as before, and had become a little more steady. However, she still couldn't help getting nervous when she saw this name again.

When she graduated from college, Lin Yuxi followed Xie Yue's instigation and confessed her love to Chen Yangxu, but Chen Yangxu rejected her. Lin Yuxi had liked Chen Yangxu for seven years at that time, so she felt there was no need to continue pestering him. After feeling upset for a few days, she gradually let it go, mainly because Xie Yue accompanied her to travel all over China. "Twenty Thousand Miles of Wind" tells the story of her and Chen Yangxu, commemorating her youth with regrets.

Later, Lin Yuxi heard Xie Yue mention that something happened in Chen Yangxu's family at that time, and learned from Chen Jianan that Chen Yangxu also liked Lin Yuxi, but he was worried that Lin Yuxi would suffer after being with him, so he rejected Lin Yuxi.

Chen Jianan told Lin Yuxi that Chen Yangxu had a small box that he carried with him wherever he went, which was filled with letters written to her by Chen Yangxu. Lin Yuxi was very moved after hearing this, but she never contacted Chen Yangxu again.

Lin Yuxi thought: Since Chen Yangxu can't believe that I can suffer with him, why should I ask for trouble?

The memories that had been sealed for more than ten years gradually came back to life. Lin Yuxi sighed. At that time, she really liked this boy, but now it was 2036, and she was no longer the little girl she was back then. She sent a thank you message to Chen Yangxu and turned off the screen of her phone.

Her eyes fell on the express box on the table. The recipient was her own name. Lin Yuxi thought it might be something Xie Yue gave her. She took a knife and opened the express. What caught her eye was an iron box with an instruction manual inside.

Time-space shuttle - Dear customer, hello, this product is exclusively produced by Time-space Travel Agency. To use it, turn on the switch, enter the year you want to go back to on the display, click confirm, and you can start the time-space shuttle journey. Remember not to tell that you are traveling in that world, otherwise you will be punished. In the time-space travel, you can have a golden finger, Ke Lan...

Lin Yuxi finished reading the manual, looked at the machine in front of her, and murmured, "I called this morning, and it's here now?"

“If I could really go back, I would go back to the first day of high school.” Lin Yuxi turned on the machine, entered August 2016, 8 on the display, and adjusted it according to the instructions on the manual. After finding nothing unusual, she realized that it might be Xie Yue’s prank.

At this moment, Xie Yue sent a message to Lin Yuxi: "I forgot to tell you, Xixi, tomorrow is your birthday. I bought you your birthday present this year, as well as hers. We'll meet at the old place tomorrow. Remember to sign for it."

"I've received it. OK." Lin Yuxi was even more certain that it was Xie Yue's doing, but when she heard Xie Yue talking about her, she was a little stunned. Yes, Xie Yue would prepare two gifts for her birthday every year because of an unforgettable past event.

Xie Yue was a little confused on the other side. He had just placed an order and it was delivered. Was it so fast? After Lin Yuxi finished her meal, she felt a little sleepy, so she lay on the bed in the office to rest for a while. At this time, the time-space shuttle emitted a faint blue light.
