Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you
Chapter 59 Returning to the Modern Era and Being Treated as an Alien
Xiao Yi experienced numerous hardships and setbacks in the ancient world. In his last attempt to break through the limitations of time and space, he was thrown back by a powerful force, but he also accidentally triggered some unknown space-time turbulence. When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world - modern society.
He slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him were towering buildings, a constant stream of traffic, and a bustling crowd of people. Xiao Yi stood up, bewildered. Still dressed in his ancient attire, his long hair carelessly draped over his shoulders, his appearance seemed out of place to modern eyes. He looked around, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.
People cast strange glances at him, some curious, some disdainful, and some even taking out their phones to take pictures. Xiao Yi didn't understand why the small boxes in their hands were glowing, nor did he know what they meant by pointing at him. He tried to ask, but his words, full of ancient charm, sounded like some strange language to modern ears.
"Look, that guy seems to be filming a movie? Why is he standing here alone?"
"Maybe he's a lunatic, wandering around the streets dressed like this."
Xiao Yi could hear the surrounding chatter, and he was filled with confusion and grievance. He was just looking for the woman he loved, so why was he being treated like an alien? He wandered through the crowd, trying to find someone who could understand him, but he was always shunned or driven away.
Xiao Yi arrived at a bustling shopping mall, dazzled by the dazzling array of merchandise. He was struck by the strangely glittering electronic devices and the peculiarly shaped furniture and clothing. He walked into a clothing store, hoping to find something similar to his own, but was chased out by the clerk, mistaking him for a troublemaker.
Hungry, he saw a street food stall and went over to buy something. However, he didn't know how to use modern currency, nor did he know the names or how to eat the food. When he picked up a piece of bread to examine it, the stall owner yelled at him, assuming he was trying to steal. Reluctantly, Xiao Yi put the bread down and left, feeling dejected.
In this strange world, Xiao Yi missed Li Lingyuan the most. He wondered if Li Lingyuan had also arrived in this world, or if he was still waiting in ancient times. He searched everywhere for clues that might be related to Li Lingyuan, even a hint of familiarity.
He arrived at the library, hoping to find a method for time travel or returning to ancient times. The library's quiet atmosphere reassured him, but the densely packed books and complex classifications left him overwhelmed. He could only flip through them one by one, trying to find an ancient tome that could answer his questions. However, modern libraries mostly focused on modern knowledge and culture, with few books on ancient mysticism.
Xiao Yi wandered the city, sleeping on park benches or under bridges at night. He gazed at the bright moon in the sky, recalling the ancient times when he and Li Lingyuan admired it together. Back then, they had cuddled together, sharing their hearts. But now, he was left alone, adrift in this cold modern world.
One day, he saw a group of people performing a traditional dance on the street. The familiar costumes and music brought a sense of familiarity to him. He couldn't help but walk over, wanting to join them. However, the group leader refused, believing his participation would disrupt the harmony of the performance. Xiao Yi stood aside, watching their performance, tears welling in his eyes, his heart filled with nostalgia for the past.
He also tried to learn modern languages and knowledge, hoping to better integrate into the world. He listened to people's conversations on the street, imitating their pronunciation and word choice. He observed people's behavior and tried to learn how to use various modern tools, such as mobile phones and computers. However, these were too complex for him, and he often got into trouble due to improper operation.
By chance, Xiao Yi met a scholar who was well versed in ancient culture. He told the scholar about his experience in his not-so-fluent modern language. The scholar initially thought he was telling a fictional story, but seeing Xiao Yi's sincere eyes and the ancient costume on his body, he couldn't help but become interested in what he said.
The scholar took Xiao Yi to his laboratory and provided him with some books on ancient culture and time-space theory to help him better understand his situation. Xiao Yi was overjoyed and studied these books day and night, hoping to find a way to return to ancient times or find Li Lingyuan.
However, as time went by, Xiao Yi missed Li Lingyuan more and more. He felt like a lost child in this modern world, unable to find his way home. He began to miss the ancient life of the Jianghu, the days of traveling the world with his friends, and even more, the unforgettable love he had with Li Lingyuan.
He often encounters Li Lingyuan in his dreams, but whenever he wakes, he faces only endless loneliness and unfamiliarity. He knows he must find a way back to her, even if it means enduring untold hardships in this modern world, even if he faces countless misunderstandings and ridicules, he will never give up. Because in his heart, Li Lingyuan is the only meaning of his life, his eternal attachment across millennia.
He decided to take the initiative, using the martial arts and wisdom he learned in ancient times to search for possible time and space channels or mysterious powers that could help him in this modern world. He began to travel around the world, exploring forgotten ancient sites and legendary mysterious places. Wherever he went, he was full of hope, hoping to find an opportunity to reunite with Li Lingyuan, end this painful wandering in the modern world, and return to the world of love that belonged to them.
