It's not too late to meet in the book

Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of the window of the Su Mansion study, looking at the bright moon outside the window, with indescribable thoughts surging in her heart. She had been here for a while, and her time with Lin Yu made her feel unprecedented warmth and happiness, but deep in her heart, her longing for modern times was like the moonlight, cold and bright.

She turned, her gaze falling on the rows of ancient books on the bookshelf. Some of these books had yellowed covers, while others were beautifully bound. They lay there quietly, as if telling stories that spanned thousands of years. Su Xiaoxiao knew that if she wanted to find a way back to the present, perhaps she could only find clues in these ancient books.

She walked gently to the bookshelf, her fingertips lightly tracing the spines of the books, and finally stopped at a book that looked very old. The cover of the book was worn, but the handwriting was still clearly legible - "Secrets of Time and Space".

Su Xiaoxiao carefully opened the book, a faint scent of ink wafting into her nostrils. She flipped through the pages, her gaze wandering between the lines, trying to find any clues about time travel. However, much of the book was obscure and difficult to understand, leaving her to rely on her own understanding.

"Hey, there seems to be some mention of a 'Space-Time Gate' here..." Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She continued reading, but found that there was not much description of the "Space-Time Gate", only a brief mention of its existence and the conditions for opening it.

"What...what on earth does this mean?" Su Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling somewhat bewildered. She knew it would be difficult to find a way back to the present with only these scattered clues. But she didn't give up, deciding instead to keep searching.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the market. It was bustling with people. She weaved through the crowds, scanning the stalls and shops along the way, trying to find items or information related to time travel.

"Little girl, what are you looking at?" A kind voice sounded in Su Xiaoxiao's ears. She looked up and saw a white-haired old man looking at her with a smile.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just taking a look." Su Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly. She didn't want others to know that she was looking for a way to return to modern times.

However, the old man seemed to see through her thoughts. "Young lady, are you looking for something special? Perhaps I can help you."

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask the old man for help. "Grandpa, do you know anything about time travel? I'm looking for a way to return to the modern era."

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes flickered with surprise. "Time travel? That's not something you can just ask about. However, since you've met me, perhaps it's fate. I once read about a time-space gate in an ancient book, but I'm not entirely sure of its exact location or how to open it."

Su Xiaoxiao's heart moved, and she quickly asked: "Can you tell me the name of that ancient book? Maybe I can find some clues from it."

The old man pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "That book is called 'The Secret Book of Time and Space'. It is said to be an ancient book that records the mysteries of time and space. However, this book has been lost for many years and is difficult to find."

Su Xiaoxiao felt a little lost after hearing the old man's words. But she didn't give up. Instead, she decided to keep searching. She knew that as long as she didn't give up, she would one day find a way to return to the modern world.

In the days that followed, Su Xiaoxiao rushed between the Su Mansion study and the market almost every day. She flipped through ancient books one after another and asked one person after another, but she still couldn't find any more clues about the time-space gate.

However, during this process, Su Xiaoxiao unexpectedly discovered something interesting. She found that the culture and technology of this era, although different from those of the modern era, also had unique charm and value. She began to gradually integrate into the life of this era, and her relationship with Lin Yu and others became closer.

One evening, Su Xiaoxiao returned to her study. She sat at her desk, holding the Secret Record of Time and Space. She flipped through the pages, pondering silently. Suddenly, her gaze settled on a line of text: "The door to time and space must be guided by thoughts and keyed by emotions."

Su Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, as if she had grasped some important clue. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then tried to use her mind to sense the existence of the space-time gate. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not sense any sign of the space-time gate.

"Did I understand it wrongly?" Su Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, feeling a little frustrated. But she didn't give up and decided to keep trying.

At this moment, Lin Yu walked into the study. He saw Su Xiaoxiao sitting at the desk with a frown, as if she had encountered some problem.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Lin Yu asked with concern.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at Lin Yu, then sighed softly. "Lin Yu, I'm looking for a way to return to the modern era, but I haven't found any clues. I... I really miss home."

When Lin Yu heard this, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He walked to Su Xiaoxiao and gently held her hand. "Xiaoxiao, I know you miss home very much. However, time travel is not that easy. Perhaps, you can try to accept the life here and treat this place as your second home."

Su Xiaoxiao felt a warm feeling in her heart after hearing Lin Yu's words. She knew that Lin Yu had always cared about her and supported her. She looked into Lin Yu's eyes and said softly, "Thank you, Lin Yu. I will try to accept life here. However, I will not give up looking for a way to return to the modern world. Because... because there are too many memories and concerns for me there."

Lin Yu nodded. He understood Su Xiaoxiao's feelings. He held Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, as if to pass on his strength to her. "Xiaoxiao, no matter what decision you make, I will always be by your side and support you. Let's work together and believe that one day we will find our happiness."

After listening to Lin Yu's words, Su Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. She looked into Lin Yu's eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Thank you, Lin Yu. With you by my side, I feel everything is full of hope."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all the difficulties and setbacks had disappeared at this moment.
