I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

The two sat around the dining table, the aroma of food filled the air, adding a bit of warmth. Xu Congyi asked Shen Xiao questions while tasting the food. From daily life to hobbies, her questions came out in an endless stream, and Shen Xiao was happy to share. Xu Congyi deliberately avoided mentioning topics related to Master Tang. She hoped that this meal would be a pure opportunity to enjoy time, allowing them to temporarily forget the disturbances of the outside world.

After dinner, Shen Xiao offered to wash the dishes, but Xu Congyi firmly refused. She knew that Shen Xiao's injury was not light, and washing dishes, a chore that required frequent arm movements, would likely involve his wound.

Seeing this, Shen Xiao stopped insisting and took the initiative to clean up the table. Although he seemed a little clumsy due to his injuries, he could still handle simple housework.

After cleaning up the table, the two sat back on the sofa. It was still early, the clock had just passed twelve, they could stay here for a while longer. The cushions on the sofa were soft and comfortable, the two sat side by side. Everything around them seemed to be quiet, with only their gentle breathing and the occasional sound of the wind blowing through the treetops outside the window.

An impulse suddenly surged in Xu Congyi's heart. She wanted to know Shen Xiao better, so she turned her head slightly.

"Brother Shen Xiao?" she called softly.

Shen Xiao turned his head and met Xu Congyi's bright eyes.

"what happened?"

Xu Congyi deliberately pretended to be serious and asked, "Do you have a childhood engagement?" In fact, her original intention was just to make a joke to narrow the distance between the two of them and make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Shen Xiao was slightly stunned when he heard this question, and then answered frankly: "Yes."

Xu Cong was a little surprised and disappointed when she heard this answer. She was just joking, but she didn't expect Shen Xiao to have a childhood marriage. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her face fell.

"Oh, really? Then she must be a very beautiful girl, right? Whose family is she from?" Xu Congyi tried to hide his sense of loss with a sour tone.

He shook his head and said, "I only met her once when I was a child, and I have long forgotten what she looked like. I only remember that she was very lively and righteous, which was completely different from her father's personality. As for whose daughter she was, she was..." Shen Xiao paused, as if he was recalling the name, "Her name is Tang Shiqing, the daughter of that man."

Well, let’s get back to the topic. Xu Congyi didn’t want to ask any more questions. It was too embarrassing.

The two fell silent again.

Xu Congyi was leaning on the sofa and dozing off. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Xiao turned his head and saw her quiet profile, thinking that she was asleep.

"Xu Congyi..." Shen Xiao suddenly called her name softly, his voice revealing an indescribable emotion. He paused and continued: "If I were not the son of a traitor..."

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in Xu Congyi's heart. He didn't call her "Xu Meimei", but her name. Although she closed her eyes, her heartbeat instantly accelerated when she heard this, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She tried to stay calm and not let her emotions leak out.

But Shen Xiao didn't continue talking. He seemed to realize his slip of the tongue and fell silent for a moment. A subtle atmosphere filled the air, and both of them were filled with complicated emotions. They both knew that this topic involved each other's past and identity, which was an insurmountable gap between them.

But at this moment, they all want to cross this gap and embrace each other's future...

In modern times, Xu Congyi can be said to be a true virgin single. She has an enviable appearance, excellent academic performance, and performs quite well in the workplace. However, she always focuses on making money. In the year when she just entered college, her grandmother was diagnosed with a serious illness. This sudden news made Xu Congyi's world collapse instantly. She knew how important her grandmother was to her, and she also understood that the cost of treatment was a heavy burden for the family. In order to save her grandmother's life, Xu Congyi resolutely started a part-time job, even at the expense of her rest and entertainment time. However, fate did not seem to favor her, and her grandmother eventually passed away, and she also owed a lot of debts.

Since then, Xu Congyi has worked harder. She spent almost all her time on making money and had no time for love. After graduation, she chose a pharmaceutical company with a higher salary, hoping to pay off her debts as soon as possible through her own efforts. In the company, Xu Congyi quickly gained recognition and appreciation from her superiors with her hard work and talent. Not only did she perform well at work, she also actively participated in various trainings and studies to continuously improve her professionalism and abilities. Her efforts and dedication were also rewarded, her salary gradually increased, and she finally paid off all her debts.

Now Xu Congyi's space is a small apartment provided by the company for free. Although it is not a house she bought herself, she has carefully decorated it to be warm and comfortable. Every detail reveals her love for life and her expectations for the future.

However, although Xu Congyi has achieved success in her career, she has never made any progress in her love life. Her colleagues have enthusiastically introduced many high-quality men to her, but she just doesn't like any of them. She always feels that she is not ready for a relationship, or that she has not met the person who makes her heart beat. Unexpectedly, when Xu Congyi accidentally traveled to a strange era, she actually fell in love with a 16-year-old boy.
