The first time in history

"Let me think about it!" Qian Mingduo stood at the door with his hands behind his back, "I don't know whether I should tell you what I'm most worried about."

"What's the matter?" Li Shishi stood behind Qian Mingduo and held her arm. "Why don't you tell us so we can analyze it together."

"I am from another world, and I may leave you one day." Qian Mingduo sighed. "And I will leave suddenly without any warning. When that happens...what will you women do?"

Li Shishi pursed her lips and smiled, "I have heard you say this countless times. I don't know why you always have such weird ideas."

"It's not that I have such an idea," Qian Mingduo looked at Li Shishi's beautiful face and couldn't help hugging her tightly in his arms. "It's just that these things have happened to me many times. I..."

Li Shishi smiled, pouted her lips at Qian Mingduo, and said shyly: "Kiss me!"

Qian Mingduo sucked hard on Li Shishi's sweet lips.

"Why don't you write your thoughts into stories and then find a bookstore to sell them for money? Wouldn't that be better?" Li Shishi looked at Qian Mingduo, "You have the ability to do this."

"You don't have to worry about it. You didn't marry me in a formal way." Li Shishi turned her head and said leisurely, "We are just a couple in the eyes of outsiders. We are just a couple in name only."

Qian Mingduo held Li Shishi's face and said, "I said last year that I would marry you as soon as the imperial examination was over. But you refused to agree. What should I do?"

"It may also be that I have foresight," Li Shishi smiled faintly, "I knew that you would have someone of status and position that matches yours to become your legal wife, so I never married you."

That night, Qian Mingduo sat alone under the old banyan tree in the yard. He needed to think carefully.

It has been more than a year since I traveled to the Song Dynasty. Compared with the previous times, this time is the longest. Maybe one day I will return to the real world in an instant without any warning.

If that happened, what would happen to Li Shishi, Xiaocui, Ling'er, and the daughter of the former minister who was introduced by a matchmaker? If he just patted his butt and slipped away, what would be the fate of these women in the future?

Ever since the palace examination that day, Qian Mingduo had a premonition that he was about to travel back in time. But it had been almost a year, and he was still here.

"Is it impossible for me to travel back in time?" Qian Mingduo asked himself. "Fuck! If that's the case, that's fine. I have the most beautiful woman in the world, Li Shishi, as my companion, and she is pregnant with my own child. Xiao Cui is also gentle and kind. Ling'er is well-behaved and sensible. The Shangshu's daughter must not be much worse."

If I could live my life like this in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would be considered a happy life. Since I cannot decide when to travel back, I should just assume that I cannot go back and let everything go with the flow according to the current era.

Qian Mingduo made up his mind. He looked at the east and west rooms, and then at the east wing where Ling'er lived. He sighed, stood up and paced slowly in the yard.

"Master, why are you up so early?" Ling'er and Xiao Cui walked out of the house almost at the same time.

"Did you not sleep all night?" Xiao Cui walked down the stone steps slowly. Qian Mingduo hurried forward to support her. "I felt that there was someone in the yard last night. Were you pacing in the yard all the time?"

Qian Mingduo nodded, "I didn't sleep all night. I was worried and my mind was in a mess. I couldn't sleep!"
