My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

They've already gone home; the rest shouldn't exist to allow those people to gloat and be proud of China.

[Host rewards are in use.] The system voice was full of reassuring intent.

Gu Xixi chuckled happily again, almost feeding herself food up her nose.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu exchanged a glance: ...

"Xixi, what are you laughing at all by yourself?" Gu's mother was really worried that Gu Xixi might have some kind of aftereffects of time travel, or some kind of side effect.

"Mom and Dad, I just won a match-3 game in a lucky draw. I'm going to give other countries a big surprise!" Gu Xixi said mysteriously.

Chu Feng also came out of his room. "Uncle, Auntie, Xixi, has the reward arrived? Uncle and Auntie already know about our operation, so you don't need to hide it from us."

"Okay, you've come at the right time. Come and have dinner with us, and then report the details of the reward. The reward is... so it's best to exhibit some of the cultural relics we brought back first, to avoid being accused of stealing again."

Hearing this news, Chu Feng was also happy, and his serious face turned into a sunny boy with a smile.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were even more excited, but they were afraid of making too much noise... so they just chuckled to themselves, looking at each other and slapping each other's thighs to relieve their uncontrollable excitement.

After dinner, around four o'clock, Chu Feng reported that he had returned. Gu Xixi went upstairs to change her clothes and then came down to prepare to go to the supermarket. Chu Feng had already guessed this and calmly went upstairs.

Chen Yu, still half asleep, got into the car. "Gu Xixi, you don't have to go to work today."

“I made an appointment with Shen Qingyan, so I can’t break it. Besides, he needs to take my pulse. And you know I’m worried about the people of the Great Huang Dynasty.”

Gu Xixi answered casually, and Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before asking the question that had been on his mind, "What you're worried about, is it the people of the Great Huang Dynasty or Shen Qingyan? Gu Xixi, you've really fallen for Shen Qingyan, haven't you?"

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence in the car.

Gu Xixi's mind was racing. She wanted to answer "no" gracefully, but couldn't bring herself to say it; and she also couldn't bring herself to answer "yes."

She recalled Chen Yu's words, "Strong women shouldn't be coy, just go for it," and she was suddenly filled with courage, but the thought of Shen Qingyan's face drained all her strength.

He's right... but...

Gu Xixi sighed, "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? It's impossible for us to be together. Isn't it good enough as it is now?"

If it's impossible, don't start. Just cherish the present moment.

Chen Yu sighed, and Chu Feng immediately covered his mouth. Only after Chen Yu said he would not speak again did Chu Feng release him.

Chen Yu rubbed his temples. These two, no matter what, always had the same tacit understanding.

However, Gu Xixi was right. The journey through the three thousand worlds is incredibly long, and Shen Qingyan only has over forty transactions left, which is a fleeting moment.

The Great Huang Dynasty is only the first trading world. What if Gu Xixi falls for someone else in the future?

In general, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Gu Xixi checked all the goods she needed to give to Shen Qingyan. Just as she was finishing the check, Shen Qingyan arrived.

Gu Xixi turned around when she heard the noise and smiled, "You're here. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten." Shen Qingyan jumped off the oxcart and returned a gentle smile.

He stood under the light, looking exactly as he had when we first met, except that his face was noticeably more haggard, and his thin frame hadn't grown any more flesh.

"Why can't he make up for it?" Gu Xixi wondered, and silently added more meat of various kinds to tomorrow's supply list with her own money.

Ran Qing brought out two breakfasts, two servings of wontons. Shen Qingyan gestured to Gu Xixi, "You go eat first, I'll come after I finish delivering the goods."

Gu Xixi looked at Ran Qing. As usual, they prepared breakfast for her. She guessed that Chu Feng hadn't mentioned that she ate breakfast around 3 PM, so they brought her a portion now as well.

"Okay." Gu Xixi agreed, went over and sat down, and ate very slowly.

After delivering pens, pencils, notebooks, and other stationery in his truck, Shen Qingyan returned and sat down to eat as well, his movements very slow.

The atmosphere between the two was harmonious, yet it was permeated with a barrier that no one else could penetrate.

Shen Qingyan looked at Gu Xixi with eyes full of smiles; Gu Xixi looked at Shen Qingyan with admiration and joy.

Twenty minutes later, they had only eaten half of what they had eaten.

"I can't eat any more."

"I can't eat any more."

The two spoke in unison, then laughed together and put down their chopsticks.

Shen Qingyan took the bundle off the oxcart. "These are the books I need to print. In addition, I also want your printing technology and pen and paper making techniques. I want to solve this problem once and for all."

His time is running out; we can't let everything go backwards after he's gone.

"That's what I was thinking too. We could give you some machines to use first, but the technology is too far removed from yours. I'll find some that are relatively outdated for us but suitable for your productivity. Pens and paper are quite simple..."

The two spoke softly, as if they were having a casual chat.

After the discussion, Gu Xixi handed the list of supplies for tomorrow to Chu Feng. Shen Qingyan then took Gu Xixi's pulse and confirmed that another ailment of Gu Xixi's that could not be easily detected at present was zhengjia (zhēngjiǎ).

"Xixi, besides pancreatic cancer, are there any other hereditary diseases in your family?"

Gu Xixi thought carefully, "There really is. Pancreatic cancer is my dad's... his side of the family has a lot of hereditary cancer. But a long time ago, I remember my mom saying that my maternal grandmother and her mother, and even the women in previous generations, all had ovarian cancer. Fortunately, it's not necessarily hereditary, and later generations didn't have it anymore, otherwise everyone would have died, it's incurable."

"By the way, ovarian cancer is called 'zhengjia' in your ancient terms. What's wrong? Did you discover a new disease in me?" Gu Xixi was still laughing. She didn't believe that she was so unlucky as to have inherited everything from her.

"No, I was just asking because I have a gift for you." Shen Qingyan didn't say anything, but took out a brocade box, opened it, and inside was a strangely shaped flower.

It's like ginseng covered in tiny yellow flowers; the flowers are fresh, but the color is withered.

"This is called 'half-life,' which is something I promised to find for you. It has the effect of bringing people back from the dead, regardless of the disease. Although your condition is not as serious as your uncle's, it will be very good for you if you take it."

Shen Qingyan solemnly handed the medicine to Gu Xixi, his gaze more serious than ever before.
