It's not too late to meet in the book

The hall's furnishings were simple yet elegant, with several ink paintings hanging on the walls, lending it a particularly tranquil atmosphere. In the center, a carved mahogany table was laid out with tea sets. An elderly man in a regal robe sat at the table. He was the master of the Su Mansion—Master Su.

Cui'er was leading Su Xiaoxiao into the hall. Su Xiaoxiao followed closely behind her, feeling both nervous and curious. She looked up at Master Su, who had a kind face and a look that was both dignified and kind.

"Master, this is the young lady who fainted outside the mansion yesterday. I have already settled her down." Cui'er reported softly, and at the same time winked at Su Xiaoxiao, indicating that she should come forward and pay her respects.

Su Xiaoxiao understood and hurried forward, bowing respectfully. "Hello, Master Su. I'm... I'm Su Xiaoxiao." Her voice trembled slightly as she introduced herself, and she felt a surge of unease. She didn't know how to explain her identity, and she didn't dare reveal the fact that she had traveled through time.

Seeing this, Master Su smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a bit of concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you feeling better? You fainted outside the mansion yesterday, which scared us. Fortunately, Cui'er found you in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Master Su and said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Master Su. I'm much better now. It's just... I'm still a little confused and don't know why I'm here."

After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, Master Su's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but he quickly regained his composure. He said softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry. No matter what you've been through, you've returned to the Su Mansion now. This is your home. If you have any questions, please tell me or Cui'er. We will do our best to help you."

Su Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable surge of emotion after hearing Master Su's words. She knew that, although she couldn't explain her identity and origins, Master Su didn't question her, but chose to accept and help her. This tolerance and kindness made her feel extremely warm and at ease.

"Master Su, thank you. I will slowly adapt to life here." Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, her eyes full of gratitude and respect.

Master Su smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay. Xiaoxiao, you just came back, so you may not understand the rules of the mansion very well. But it doesn't matter, Cui'er will teach you slowly. You just need to remember one thing: no matter what you do, you must treat others with sincerity and courtesy. That way, you will live happily in the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed: "Yes, Master Su. I will remember your teachings."

At this time, Cui Er brought a cup of hot tea and gently placed it in front of Su Xiaoxiao. She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a hint of encouragement in her eyes: "Miss, please have a cup of tea first. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Cui'er gratefully, then picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea filled her, making her feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. She looked at Master Su and Cui'er, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that although she had come to a strange world, here she had found her home and warmth.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became relaxed. Master Su began to ask Su Xiaoxiao about her past, but Su Xiaoxiao always gave vague answers. She didn't dare to reveal too much about her time travel, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding.

"Xiaoxiao, what was your life like before?" Mr. Su asked curiously.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Su, my previous life... was actually quite ordinary. There were no special experiences, just some daily trivialities."

After hearing Su Xiaoxiao's answer, Master Su's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew everyone had their own secrets and privacy, and he didn't want others to delve into them too much. So, he changed the subject and began chatting about interesting things happening in the mansion and news from outside.

Su Xiaoxiao followed Master Su's lead and discovered that despite his high position, he was a very easygoing and approachable person. He was not only fully aware of the affairs of the mansion, but also closely monitored external news. This instilled in Su Xiaoxiao a deeper admiration and respect for Master Su.

Time passed quietly in the pleasant chat, and in the blink of an eye it was lunchtime. Cui Er came in to report that the meal was ready and invited Master Su and Su Xiaoxiao to have dinner.

Upon hearing this, Master Su stood up and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, let's go eat. The kitchen has specially prepared some light dishes for you today. I hope you will like them."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Master Su, for your trouble. It's my honor to dine with you."

With that, the two of them walked out of the hall together and headed towards the dining room. Cui'er followed closely behind them, a relieved smile on her face. She knew that Su Xiaoxiao had gradually adapted to life here, and Master Su's kindness and tolerance also made her feel extremely warm and happy.

Inside the restaurant, the table was already filled with food. Su Xiaoxiao looked at the delicious dishes and felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude. She knew that these were all prepared by Master Su and Cui'er for her, to make her feel the warmth and care of home.

"Xiaoxiao, please sit down. Don't be polite." Mr. Su greeted her warmly.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement and sat down. She looked at Master Su and Cui'er, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness. She knew that in this strange world, she had found her home and family.

"Mr. Su, Cui'er, thank you. I will cherish this hard-earned happiness and try my best to adapt to life here." Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, Master Su and Cui'er both smiled with satisfaction. They knew that Su Xiaoxiao had gradually integrated into the family and become one of them. This rare family affection and friendship would become Su Xiaoxiao's most precious treasure in this strange world.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be polite. If you have any problems in the future, just tell us. We will always be by your side and support you." Master Su said softly.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Master Su and Cui'er and nodded gratefully, "Yes, Master Su. I will. Thank you."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant became exceptionally warm and harmonious. The three of them sat together, enjoying the delicious meal and rare family time. This rare happiness and warmth will become one of Su Xiaoxiao's most beautiful memories.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao." Master Su suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "Do you have any plans for the future? Or, is there anything you want to learn or try?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought. She knew this was a rare opportunity for her to express her thoughts and wishes. So, she mustered up her courage, looked at Master Su and said, "Master Su, I've always been interested in medicine. If possible, I hope to learn medicine so that I can help more people in the future."

After hearing what Su Xiaoxiao said, Master Su's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, nodded approvingly, and said, "Well, Xiaoxiao. You have lofty ambitions. Learning medicine is a good thing. It not only helps yourself, but also benefits others. I will do my best to support you and provide you with the best learning conditions."
