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

After settling the elderly couple into their accommodations, Chen Donghua was exhausted. She hurriedly returned to her room to get some rest.

Qiao Tinghao's courtyard was right next to the old couple's, but he didn't immediately go back to his own courtyard to rest.

Although they all lived in the same house, Qiao Tinghao insisted on personally escorting Ruan Mumu back to her courtyard.

"Come in! I know you have questions. In that case, let's come in and talk. I also have some things I'd like to discuss with you," Ruan Mumu said softly, seeing Qiao Tinghao's hesitant expression.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tinghao finally followed Ruan Mumu into her courtyard and even locked the door, because he had a vague feeling that what Ruan Mumu wanted to talk to him about was something that no one else could hear.

The courtyard wasn't anything special, except for some modern items like a lamp, mirror, and cosmetics. Ruan Mumu had arranged all of these things specially last night.

"Oh, right, as I told you yesterday, if you want to write a letter to your family in the modern world, you can write it down first, and maybe I can help you deliver it. The paper and pen are over there, you can decide what to do with them." Ruan Mumu said, pointing to the paper and pen on the table next to her. "I'm too tired today, I'm going to take a shower now. If you have any questions for me later, I'll talk to you." After saying that, she left the room and went to the bathroom.

Of course, there was no hot water in the bathroom. She just didn't want to enter and exit the space directly in front of Qiao Tinghao. After entering the bathroom, she slipped into the space and returned to her modern room to take a shower and change into a set of pajamas that her mother had prepared for her.

A dozen minutes later, Ruan Mumu left the space and returned to her room, where she saw Qiao Tinghao still writing a letter.

"Wait a moment, it'll be over soon." Qiao Tinghao didn't look up and continued writing furiously.

Ruan Mumu opened a children's skincare product and applied it, then picked up a draft and listed some modern items she wanted her parents to buy.

"What are you writing?" Qiao Tinghao asked as he finished writing his letter, came to Ruan Mumu's side, and saw her writing something.

"Have you finished writing your letter?" Ruan Mumu stopped writing, moved a stool for him, and asked him to sit down.

"Girl, can you tell me how you're going to deliver this letter to my family? I'm very curious, can you help me out?" Qiao Tinghao looked at Ruan Mumu and asked seriously.

"Didn't you already know I had a spatial ability?" Ruan Mumu asked Qiao Tinghao.

“You’ve already said that. I know that.” Qiao Tinghao sat up straight, waiting for Ruan Mumu to continue.

“Actually, my space is my old family home, and my family members have the opportunity to enter my space every month. We agreed to meet in the space at noon on the 15th of each month, and the meeting time can be two hours…” Ruan Mumu was talking to Qiao Tinghao when she heard a robot’s voice in her mind. “Master, after the system upgrade, my energy has increased, and your meeting time can be extended by one hour, which is three hours.”

"Hehe, I just received a message from the space. My meeting with them can last up to three hours." After receiving the message from the purple elf, Ruan Mumu excitedly reported to Qiao Tinghao.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tinghao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ruan Mumu expectantly, saying, "Girl, could you take me with you?"

Ruan Mumu hesitated for a moment, because she had never tried bringing someone into the space before, but she felt it should be possible. So, she nodded and said to Qiao Tinghao, "I'll give it a try. You repeat after me."

After saying that, she took Qiao Tinghao's hand and together they said, "Go in!"

However, after Qiao Tinghao finished reading, he suddenly felt the small hand he was holding disappear, and Ruan Mumu's figure also vanished. He looked around and found himself still standing in the same spot, a sense of loss welling up in his heart.

Just as he was feeling bewildered, Ruan Mumu reappeared and slowly said, "It seems you can't enter my space. The space spirit said before that only my relatives can enter, relatives within five generations. But judging from the current situation, we are probably not siblings. You just look like my eldest brother, but you are not a child of our Ruan family."

"What? How could this happen?" Qiao Tinghao's eyes widened, somewhat at a loss.

"Don't worry, this is still your home, and I won't tell Mom and your brothers about this. Just consider yourself part of this family," Ruan Mumu comforted her. Actually, she was no less surprised than Qiao Tinghao, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in her heart.

"Then who am I? Where do I come from?" Qiao Tinghao's mood instantly became heavy.

“It seems we can only investigate this matter slowly when we have time later. For now, let’s think about what to do next,” Ruan Mumu said. “I’m going to see my parents tomorrow, so we need to think in advance about what items they should prepare. Now that we’ve come to this world, we must live a wonderful life and not waste this opportunity to travel through time. So, you should work hard with me to earn money and live a good life.” She patted Qiao Tinghao on the shoulder to encourage him.

Qiao Tinghao smiled and replied, "I didn't expect you to have such lofty ambitions, little girl." He gently patted Ruan Mumu's head in appreciation. Then he said with emotion, "I just wonder what my parents would think if they knew I had come to another world."

Ruan Mumu comforted him, saying, "Don't think too much. Let's get moving. As long as we establish ourselves here, we can collect more antiques to give to them in the future, so they can live in peace in their old age."

Qiao Tinghao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Ruan Mumu pulled Qiao Tinghao aside to discuss what they needed to prepare to help them become wealthy in ancient times. As they discussed, they also dreamed about their wonderful future life.

Ruan Mumu felt that they couldn't always sell high-end products, since ordinary people were the largest consumer group. Moreover, modern production technology was far more advanced than that of ancient times, allowing them to make the most money with the least cost.

Qiao Tinghao, however, believed that they should exchange modern advanced goods for valuable ancient items, and then auction off these valuable ancient items in modern times, so as to make money quickly.

Ruan Mumu pointed out a key problem: they have no power here, so it is difficult for them to find truly valuable items.

She suddenly thought of a question and asked Qiao Tinghao, "Brother, have you ever thought about what you said when you woke up that you were a member of the military, or that you were someone with status? Otherwise, how could they let you join the army at such a young age?" Qiao Tinghao had never thought about this question.

Ruan Mumu continued to remind him that if he really was the son of a general, then the responsibilities he bore would be heavy, and at that time, what he pursued might no longer be money.

"Hey, you little girl, you have quite the imagination! And you're so good with your mouth. Looks like I'll have to stick close to you. At least with you around, I don't have to be afraid of anything, and I'll definitely have a full meal." Qiao Tinghao smiled at Ruan Mumu and joked.

"Of course!" Ruan Mumu confidently raised her chin, her face beaming with a bright smile. "Until you find your family, I will definitely take care of your food and drink to the very end."

While joking around, Ruan Mumu diligently wrote down a list of the items she wanted. Her handwriting was light and fluid, as if she were depicting a bright future. Seeing that she had filled a whole page with writing, Qiao Tinghao curiously leaned over to see what was going on.

"What did you write?" he asked with interest.

Ruan Mumu handed him a piece of paper she had written, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Could you help me take a look and see if there's anything I need to add? It feels like something's missing."

Qiao Tinghao took the paper and read it carefully. "Girl, remember to patch up the carriage wheel," Qiao Tinghao suddenly mentioned. "Oh dear, I really forgot about that," Ruan Mumu quickly patched up the wheel.

Qiao Tinghao continued, "Didn't you say last time that you were planning to open a school? A medical school? Then we need to start thinking about what to prepare. I think we'll definitely need medical books, and also uniforms, etc. If conditions permit, I suggest that we use our old training uniforms for our village guard team's training. What do you think?"

Ruan Mumu nodded in agreement, and then took out a separate piece of paper and listed them down.

Qiao Tinghao continued, "Aren't you going to build a workshop in cooperation with Doctor Liu? Do you need to prepare all those tools and the like?"

After hearing this, Ruan Mumu thought it made a lot of sense, so she wrote it down on paper. She secretly admired Qiao Tinghao's thoughtfulness and attentiveness; he always managed to think of details she had overlooked.

Ruan Mumu gently tapped Qiao Tinghao's head with her pen, a smile on her face as she gazed at him softly. She said, "You're really quick-witted! I've been overwhelmed by a bunch of tedious things lately, and I feel like my brain is about to stop working." She then sighed softly, as if expressing her helplessness.

Hearing her praise, Qiao Tinghao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. He winked mischievously and replied with a laugh, "Hehe, of course! But since that's the case, I'll just have to make do and be your secretary! But you'd better pay me a high salary, haha!" As he spoke, he held up his hand and gestured a large number, his eyes gleaming with cunning.

Upon hearing his words, Ruan Mumu couldn't help but chuckle.

She gently patted Qiao Tinghao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, then we'll see how you do! If you can really help me, I definitely won't treat you unfairly." Then, she handed the list she had written to Qiao Tinghao, gesturing for him to take a look together.

Qiao Tinghao took the list and read it carefully. As he read, he discussed the details with Ruan Mumu, offering suggestions and areas for improvement.

The two argued and laughed at times, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

After a heated discussion, they continuously improved and supplemented the list.

Every project and every task has been carefully considered and adjusted to ensure that there are no omissions or errors.

Finally, through their joint efforts, a detailed and practical checklist was created. This checklist not only covered all aspects of school preparation but was also well-organized and easy to use.

Looking at the results before them, Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao exchanged a smile, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment. They believed that as long as they followed the checklist, the start of their new business would be a resounding success.

"Is this enough? If it's not detailed enough, we'll wait for the next opportunity." Ruan Mumu looked at the list in her hand with satisfaction. It was densely filled with all kinds of necessities. She felt a strong sense of accomplishment, as if she had completed an important task.

"Yes, that should be enough. Just have your uncles prepare the things according to this list." Qiao Tinghao replied with a smile, his gaze falling on Ruan Mumu, a gentle light shining in his eyes.

Ever since he learned that he and Ruan Mumu could not be real siblings, a glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in his heart. Although their bodies were only thirteen years old, they were inhabited by two souls in their twenties. It was quite possible that even a sliver of fantasy remained in his heart.

"By the way, your letter is finished. Remember to leave your address, and I'll have my family send it to your family by courier. But I wonder if your family can handle receiving your letter so suddenly?" Ruan Mumu suddenly felt that this wasn't a problem with the courier service, but with the matter itself.

“I explained the situation in the letter. Since it can’t be changed, we can only maintain the status quo. At least we still have news, right?” Qiao Tinghao felt a moment of disappointment when he heard what Ruan Mumu said, after all, they could never go back.

Seeing his sudden drop in mood, Ruan Mumu patted his shoulder and said comfortingly, "From now on, you'll have a chance to communicate once a month, so at least you'll have a chance to know how the other person is doing. If there's anything you want to give them, I can help you send it."

"Do you know if I'll ever have a chance to meet my family?" A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Qiao Tinghao's heart.

Ruan Mumu looked at Qiao Tinghao, a hint of helplessness and sympathy flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "This... I really don't know, but maybe there will be some changes in the future? I asked the space spirit before, and if we earn enough money to upgrade him, there will be a chance. We must all have hope!"

Hearing Ruan Mumu say this, Qiao Tinghao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This space really is as you say, a money-devouring beast. In any case, it's already quite good that we have the opportunity to communicate now."

Ruan Mumu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
