After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

"Yu Fang, Yu Fang... is it almost time?" Old Mrs. Zhang stared intently at the clock on the wall, her forehead even breaking out in a fine layer of sweat, her voice trembling slightly as she kept asking if the time was approaching.

At this moment, she was filled with an unprecedented sense of tension, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her heartstrings.

Zhang Yufang was initially quite calm, but her mother's outburst made her nervous.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, there are still five full minutes!"

However, despite saying that, she was actually starting to feel uneasy inside.

In the spacious and bright living room, besides Ruan Wanfu's family, Qiao Tinghao's parents, Ruan Haohao's uncle Zhang Ping, and aunt Lei Chunyan were also sitting on the other side.

The whole scene was quite tense, with an indescribable mix of anticipation and unease on everyone's face.

It's worth mentioning that Ruan Yanyan did not return as she had hoped this time.

Because he was still in his internship and his work was very busy and taking time off was extremely difficult, he simply couldn't make it to the gathering. However, he had carefully written a letter beforehand and entrusted it to his parents, hoping they could pass it on to his sister.

Knowing that this special meeting might bring many unexpected situations, Ruan Haohao instructed the elders present in advance: "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle Qiao, Aunt Li, please sit here and wait patiently."

When we begin our communication, we will be there promptly to relay any information you may need. We hope everyone will not be too surprised.

As he spoke, he glanced at the pen and the stack of papers on the table—these were specially prepared for those who could not meet, so that they could convey their feelings and share their emotions through writing.

"Okay, okay, we're not nervous, we're not nervous..." Mr. Qiao murmured to himself, his hands clasped tightly together, as if trying to control his trembling hands. At this moment, he was trying his best to remain calm, but deep inside, his heart was already in turmoil.

Meanwhile, Qiao's mother displayed an astonishing resilience and strength. She had endured the immense pain of losing her beloved son—the tragedy of a parent outliving their child was like a sharp sword, deeply piercing her heart.

However, when she heard the news again that her son was still alive (although he was in another time and space), an indescribable excitement and tension surged into her heart, making her almost unable to control herself.

“It’s alright, let’s wait a little longer, just a little longer…” Zhang Ping was also waiting anxiously.

For many years, he has stayed by his wife Lei Chunyan's side as she suffers from illness, watching her tormented by pain, his heart filled with endless worry and helplessness.

Although those symptoms were not fatal, the daily torment still left people feeling exhausted.

Therefore, he constantly hoped that his wife could regain her health.

Since learning that his niece possessed the magical spring water, Zhang Ping's hope for life has been rekindled.

Especially after witnessing his own mother recover her health by drinking the spiritual spring water, he became even more convinced that there are many mysterious forces in this world that transcend the realm of science.

Now, he eagerly anticipates that this miraculous power will descend upon his wife, helping her to escape the clutches of her illness.

"Mom, are you ready?" Ruan Haohao looked at the clock on the wall, stood up, and looked at Zhang Yufang.

Zhang Yufang looked at her mother, took her hand, and then held Ruan Wanfu's hand, asking, "Mom, are you ready?"

The old lady held her daughter's hand tightly, then took Ruan Haohao's hand and said, "Ready?"

"Yu Fang, why don't you try to see if I can get in?" Zhang Ping suddenly stood up and shouted.

The Ruan family members all looked at him, and then the old lady took Zhang Ping's hand, while Ruan Haohao also took his uncle's hand.

"Brother, it's okay to try first, but let me make this clear: if you can't get in, don't be sad. We'll send someone out what you want in a bit, don't worry!" Zhang Yufang was afraid her brother would be disappointed, so she gave him a heads-up.

Zhang Ping nodded, and held his mother's and nephew's hands tightly.

"Come in!" The Ruan family members shouted together, holding hands.

In an instant, several figures disappeared into the living room.

Of the group of people who were holding hands, only Zhang Ping remained standing.

Zhang Ping was somewhat disappointed, then looked at his wife and said, "It seems I really can't get in."

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, who remained waiting, along with Lei Chunyan, were all quite surprised to see the group disappear. They were astonished that the group had vanished without a trace. Although they had been warned beforehand, they were still very surprised.

At the same time, Ruan Mumu, just like last time, had Qiao Tinghao come to her courtyard and lock the gate.

"Mumu, I'm a little nervous. Do you think my parents are going to be sad for a while?" Qiao Tinghao said, holding Ruan Mumu's hand.

Since they confessed their feelings for each other, they have only held hands occasionally when they meet in private, as they are still minors. Although they have the maturity of adults, they still adhere to proper etiquette.

"Okay, don't be nervous. I'll go in and take a look first. You can sit here and listen to some music or something." Ruan Mumu squeezed his hand tightly for a moment, then let go.

"Go in." Ruan Mumu silently recited in her heart, and her figure disappeared from Qiao Tinghao's sight.

"Oh my, my darling, Grandma is so glad to see you again." After entering the space, the old lady saw Ruan Mumu appear in the hall and ran over to her nimbly.

Looking at the old woman's happy expression, Ruan Mumu felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She ran to the old lady, hugged her tightly, and cried out, "Grandma, Grandma, I've missed you so much too."

"Grandma, the master wasn't telling the truth. She's very busy over there and doesn't have time to think about you at all." An untimely voice rang out in everyone's ears.

"You beast, just you wait, I'll beat you to a pulp!" Ruan Mumu shouted angrily at the air.

"You can't hit me, you can't hit me..." The beast continued to test Ruan Mumu's patience.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"I'm ignoring you." Ruan Mumu shouted at the air again, then pulled her grandmother to sit on the sofa.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother, it's been so long since I've seen you. I've missed you so much," Ruan Mumu said sweetly to her family.

"You little rascal, you look prettier with long hair, and you look more like a girl," Ruan Haohao said to Ruan Mumu with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ruan Mumu ignored what everyone was saying about her; she was happy to see her family anyway! She didn't care.

"Brother, have Qiao Tinghao's parents been found? Have they sent a reply?" Ruan Mumu asked anxiously.

Ruan Haohao took a letter out of his pocket, handed it to his sister, and said, "Xiao Qiao's parents are at our house now, but unfortunately they can't meet."

Ruan Mumu took the envelope and said to everyone, "Please sit down for a while. I will deliver the letter to Xiao Qiao and then come back."

After saying that, she disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qiao Tinghao was listening to a song out of boredom when suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.

“Mumu…” Qiao Tinghao stood up excitedly.

Ruan Mumu handed him the envelope and said, "Hurry up and finish reading it. Write a reply first. My brother said your parents are waiting for your reply at my villa. Write it quickly, and I'll come back to pick it up in twenty minutes."

When Qiao Tinghao heard that his parents were on the other side, but he was unable to see them, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.

He eagerly took the letter from Ruan Mumu's hand and then hurriedly tore open the envelope, as if he couldn't hear what Ruan Mumu was saying to him at all.

Ruan Mumu could understand his feelings at that moment, and then silently disappeared again.

Back in the living room, Zhang Yufang had already cut a plate of fruit and placed it on the table, while Ruan Wanfu had also brewed tea.

When everyone saw Ruan Mumu return, Zhang Yufang held her daughter's little hand and asked with concern, "Mumu! How have you been doing over there lately?"

"Mom, I've been quite busy lately because our village is near the border. The Western Rong Kingdom has launched a war, and we don't know when they'll attack our village."

"Xiao Qiao has been busy training the villagers lately, just in case the enemy attacks, we'll at least have the ability to save our lives." Ruan Mumu ate fruit and recounted the events of the past month.

“The security situation was bad in ancient times. You need to be careful. There’s no protection there, you’ll have to rely on yourselves,” Ruan Wanfu instructed.

Turning to her son, she said, "Haohao, when you come back, take a look for weapons that can be used for self-defense, and prepare more for your sister, as well as more food and other necessities."

Ruan Haohao nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."

"Mumu, your aunt hasn't been feeling well. Could you get her a cup of spiritual spring water to help her recover?" Grandma asked Ruan Mumu.

"Grandma, it's my pleasure. I was in such a rush last time that I forgot about it. Brother, go and get a cup of spiritual spring water. Once you've filled it, give it to Grandma and then take it back to Auntie to drink."

Ruan Mumu did not let go of her grandmother's hand and instructed her eldest brother to go to the kitchen to fill the spiritual spring water himself.

Ruan Haohao took a cup to fill with spiritual spring water, while Ruan Mumu continued to chat with her grandmother, holding her hand: "Grandma, I also have my grandparents over there. They are very kind old people, and they live with us now."

My uncle and aunt on my side of the family were such awful people, so we made them sever all ties with them.

“My poor child, why do you keep running into such bizarre relatives over there?” Zhang Yufang sighed from the side.

“It was my mother who stood up after my accident. She has a very strong and decisive personality. Otherwise, no matter how strong I am, I wouldn’t have been able to handle that group of relatives as a child,” Ruan Mumu sighed.

Grandma patted Ruan Mumu's hand and said, "It's really tough on you, a child like you. In modern times, you'd just be a junior high school student. Sigh..."

Ruan Mumu glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up, and said, "Grandma, Mom and Dad, please sit down first. I'll go check on Xiao Qiao's letter. I'm afraid we'll be too pressed for time and won't be able to get his parents' reply."

After saying that, he turned to the group and said, "Go to my room first. I brought you something different."

When Ruan Mumu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight again, they stood up and went up to Ruan Mumu's room on the second floor.

When they saw a delicate little box on Ruan Mumu's bed, the three of them went over and opened the lid.

Suddenly, I was blinded by the several gold ingots on the box.

"My God, so much gold!" Zhang Yufang was also shocked by the amount of gold ingots. How much money would so many gold ingots be worth in modern times?

Remove the top layer of the box; underneath are some jewelry pieces. Having grown accustomed to modern, exquisite jewelry, these pieces are not as eye-catching.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, do you like these things?" Ruan Mumu appeared behind them at some point, smiling as she asked.

"Mumu, you spend so much money over there. Keep some money for yourself. Why are you wasting it like this?" Grandma said with concern.

Ruan Mumu patted her grandmother's back reassuringly and said, "These things are valuable in modern times, but they weren't worth much in ancient times. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Mumu, is the letter in your hand from Xiao Qiao to his parents?" Ruan Wanfu asked.

Ruan Mumu handed the letter to Ruan Wanfu, "Dad, send the letter out first, and have them write a reply in twenty minutes. Then go out and get it, and I'll take it to Xiao Qiao. He's probably getting impatient."

After Ruan Wanfu hummed in agreement, he disappeared from their sight and reappeared in a room on the second floor of the modern building.

He came down to the hall, handed the letter to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, and said softly, "Write your reply in twenty minutes, and I'll come out to get it by myself. The child is waiting for your reply over there!"

Mrs. Qiao excitedly took the letter and opened it with trembling hands...

At the same time, Ruan Haohao appeared in the kitchen of the modern house and came out carrying a cup of spiritual spring water.

"Uncle, Aunt, this is spiritual spring water. Aunt, drink it quickly, and your health will recover." After saying this, Ruan Haohao handed the cup in his hand to Lei Chunyan.

"Haohao, please thank Mumu for us. We hope she's doing well over there. Her uncle and aunt can't help much, so we can only wish her well," Zhang Ping said, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

“Uncle, there’s no need for that. Maybe one day you’ll have the chance to meet Mumu too,” Ruan Haohao said with a mysterious smile.

"Haohao, is it possible that we might have a chance to see our Tinghao again in the future?" Qiao's mother suddenly became very excited after hearing Ruan Haohao's words.
