Shanghai Jiao Tong University's future entrustment app: I will take my motherland flying.

Chapter 107: A Request from Song Zhi Ning Five Years Later
[Date: June 3, 2024]

Client: Song Zhining

Song Zhining stared intently at the three characters "Song Zhining" of the client's name on the document, and murmured, "Is it just someone with the same name?"

But she soon realized that wasn't the case.

[Mission Assigned: On February 5, 2019, if possible, please save Qin Yan, who has been drugged and sent to the Paradise Cruise Ship. If you cannot save her, please at least prevent Qin Yan from committing suicide by self-immolation at home on the 8th, so that those evildoers will receive their due punishment.]

Song Zhining glanced at the task assigned to her and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't even have time to think about whether the client shared the same name as her.

Save Qin Yan...

Died by self-immolation...

Is it Qin Yan, whom she knows?

Song Zhining's gaze fell on the time on her phone. It was past midnight, and the time displayed was February 5, 2019.

Is it today?
Almost instantly, Song Zhining picked up her phone, intending to call Qin Yan, but she quickly stopped herself.

"Don't rush, let's figure out what's going on first."

Looking at the tasks on the app, Song Zhining never imagined that one day she would receive a task from her future self, especially one from five years in the future.

Is this me in a parallel world, five years from now?
What will I be like in a parallel world, 5 years from now?

And that dream...

At this moment, Song Zhining finally connected the recurring dream with the entrusted task.

The person in her dream might be her from a parallel universe five years later, and the person she begged to save was Qin Yan.

So, what kind of entanglement will Qin Yan have with me five years later in this parallel universe?

Without much hesitation, Song Zhining pressed the "yes" button on "accept order".

[Do you want to enable immersive sound effects? Yes/No]

When she received the order, the deposit payment arrived, but Song Zhi Ning didn't have the mind to check it at the moment.

Song Zhining lay down on the bed, pressed the "Yes" button, and after putting the phone down, she closed her eyes. She then felt her body go empty, and her soul was instantly pulled away, heading towards some place in the depths of the universe.

When she came to her senses, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.

There was another person standing in front of me; his back looked familiar.

Outside the window, fireworks burst forth, signaling the arrival of the New Year.

The man picked up three incense sticks, lit them, bowed to the memorial tablet enshrined on it, and then placed them in the incense burner.

Song Zhining slowly walked over and saw the person's face clearly.

It was exactly the same person I'd been dreaming about lately.

That is, her.

No, to be precise, it's Song Zhining in a parallel universe five years later.

That memorial tablet...

Song Zhining looked up and clearly saw the two characters "Qin Yan" on it, her pupils contracting slightly.

The words "die by self-immolation" instantly entered her mind.

How could Qin Yan, so beautiful and charming, have committed suicide by self-immolation?

Song Zhining's gaze then fell upon herself five years later.

It's obvious that her facial features have matured a lot, her clothing and appearance have become more mature, and she even has makeup on her face and big wavy curls.

She's very feminine and beautiful!

This is completely different from the Song Zhi Ning who now prefers to go makeup-free and still looks a bit naive.

But Song Zhi Ning also clearly noticed the fatigue between her brows and the vicissitudes in her eyes.

Song Zhi Ning saw her in a parallel universe five years later, her eyes reddening as she spoke to the memorial tablet, "Sister Qin Yan, it's been five years. Are you doing well over there?"

"It should be better than when I was alive."

“At least there is no pain, no sadness.” “Sister Qin Yan, I have found evidence of those people’s crimes. Those who bullied you deserve to die.”

"But, but what I want more is for you to come back to life."

……

As her five-years-future self wept uncontrollably, Song Zhining, in her soul state, felt some images flash before her eyes.

Song Zhining knew that it was her past memories from a parallel universe.

Song Zhining allowed herself to read those memories.

Five years ago, at the age of 23, Song Zhining in a parallel universe was in a situation where her father was seriously ill and hospitalized with unpaid bills, and she also owed rent.

In a parallel universe, she wasn't as fortunate as she is in this timeline to be bound to the future commission app.

In a parallel universe, she was just an ordinary, unfortunate person chosen by misfortune.

Her boss tried to take advantage of her, her father fell seriously ill, and she was kicked out of her rented apartment.

Song Zhining was at a loss. She didn't know how to escape her boss's unspoken rules, nor did she know how to earn money to treat her father's illness.

On the day she was evicted from her rented room, it was raining. She was cold, hungry, and suffering from menstrual cramps, so she fainted on the street.

It just so happened that Qin Yan, who was driving by, picked it up and took it back.

Qin Yan, who is being vilified online as a bad woman, a mistress, and a vixen, seems to have a strong liking for Song Zhi Ning.

Upon learning of her situation, he immediately lent her one million yuan so that she could pay for her father Song Heming's medical and surgical expenses.

"Sister Qin Yan, can you help me get into the entertainment industry? I... I will definitely earn money to pay you back as soon as possible."

With the money, Song Heming's surgery was successful.

The million was almost all gone.

Song Zhining knew that Qin Yan was her benefactor, and she had to repay the money as soon as possible.

Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she thought of the entertainment industry.

That seemed to be the only legitimate and quick way to make money that she could choose at the moment.

Qin Yan refused while smoking, saying, "The entertainment industry is no good. Don't go. Don't rush to pay me back the money."

At that time, Song Zhining was only thinking about making money, and she begged Qin Yan several times afterward.

In the end, Qin Yan couldn't persuade her otherwise and took her into the entertainment industry to act.

In retrospect, Song Zhining was also very lucky.

Qin Yan had just secured her a supporting role in a web series, and she became an overnight sensation thanks to that series.

Therefore, they were able to start acting in TV dramas, appearing on variety shows, and shooting commercials.

And just as she had imagined, making money in the entertainment industry was indeed fast.

However, with no background and only a pretty face, she still attracted the attention of some capitalists.

It was Qin Yan who silently stood in front of her from behind.

Back then, they were as close as sisters.

Qin Yan was very dependent on and close to Song Zhi Ning, treating her like her only younger sister.

Although there is a lot of criticism and negative information about Qin Yan online, Song Zhi Ning has always believed in Qin Yan.

Later, Qin Yan fell in love.

During that time, Qin Yan was very happy, and in front of Song Zhi Ning, she planned her future and wedding with that man.

As 18 transitioned into 19, on New Year's Eve that year, Song Zhining sent a New Year's greeting to Qin Yan, but did not receive a reply.

It wasn't until the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year that she suddenly saw the news that Qin Yan had committed suicide by self-immolation at home.

Later, as the truth was gradually revealed, Song Zhining learned the reason.

She then realized that the truly unfortunate person in the world was not her, but Qin Yan.
