But she was still held down.

She sobbed softly, but her pleas for mercy were useless; the people behind her kept coming.

She could only cover her lips tightly with her hands, too terrified to utter a sound.

"shameless……"

Lu Jingci's voice was dark and stern: "Why are you so nervous? Relax."

I don't know how much time passed.

She was finally released, and strands of hair behind her ears fell down in a mess.

Lu Jingci rested his chin on her shoulder, his wicked smile deepening: "I was just kidding you again. This villa is different. The windows are one-way. People outside can't see us, but we can see outside."

Xu Wuning didn't have much strength left, but she still slapped him across the face.

Lu Jingci touched the side of his face that had been slapped, chuckled softly, and curled the corners of his lips.

"That was so much fun..."

"continue."

Xu Wuning was grabbed again and kissed, silencing her words of scolding him.

Two overlapping shadows were clearly reflected on the windowpane.

It lingered for a very long time in the pitch-black night...

In reality, Xu Wuning turned over and suddenly woke up with a start.

She checked the time; it was around midnight.

I just fell asleep and had this dream?

She patted her flushed face.

Seriously, once she gets back to the right point in time, she definitely needs to see a master to check if having these kinds of dreams lately will affect her health.

Xu Wuning gritted her teeth.

She shook her head, pulled the covers over herself, and went back to sleep.

Then, I dreamed of it again...

-

On the other end.

Inside the villa.

The boy sat at the table, touching the photo of Xu Wuning in his hand, his smiling eyes curving slightly.

Ningning has been so good to him during this time.

They went to the amusement park together, went shopping together, ate together, and did their homework together. They were so happy.

Everything was dreamlike.

If every day could be like this, how wonderful that would be.

The boy smiled and unzipped his backpack.

He remembered that on the day he went to the amusement park, he bought a small souvenir, a carousel-shaped keychain.

This represents his memories of playing with Ningning, so let's take it out and put it in the collection cabinet.

His fingers touched the keychain, and just as he was about to take it out, he suddenly saw a dark blue notebook in his backpack.

This is Ningning's math notebook.

How did it end up here?

Yes, it should be that after finishing their homework at the coffee shop, they went out to buy milk tea. He thought her backpack was too heavy and wanted to help her carry it, but she insisted on carrying it herself.

So, while she went inside to get her milk tea, he moved all her books into his own bag.

Later, before she got into the car to go home, he moved her book back.

In retrospect, this notebook was overlooked.

He wanted to see her recent notes to see if there were any questions she didn't understand, so they could discuss them together.

So he opened it.

Just then, a gust of wind blew in from outside the window, causing the notebook to flip through several pages before landing on the last page.

Lu Jingci looked down.

In an instant—

His pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze fixed on that page, his fingers gripping the notebook turning white.

This page was probably written casually by Xu Wuning when she was bored, as the handwriting is rather messy.

It says:

Past Timeline:

1. He confessed his love at his high school graduation ceremony but was rejected, and then went abroad for four years.

2. The first time they met after growing up in junior high school, a kidnapping incident.

3. Ice cream and that car accident.

4. A fractured left hand in the equipment room, etc.

Then, one line below, some more words were written:

"Future Timeline: Lu Jingci commits suicide at his villa."

There were several lines nearby, with a sentence written on them: "The future and the past, what is the significance of these points in time? What is their connection?"

Lu Jingci's breathing suddenly stopped.

He stared at the words, his thumb pressed firmly on them, veins bulging.

He saw even smaller words below, squeezed into the gaps in that passage:

"Going home, going home right away."

Come back home?

Lu Jingci's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

He slammed the laptop shut, the movement so forceful that he accidentally knocked the photo album next to him to the ground.

He didn't bend down to pick it up.

He sat there, the moonlight shining on his pale face.

He instantly recalled how panicked Xu Wuning had been when she ran into the equipment room looking for him; her lips were trembling, and she had run so fast, as if she already knew what was going to happen.

She even glanced at the precariously hanging shot puts on the shelf, as if she had already predicted they would fall.

With tears in her eyes, she told him, "Thank goodness, your arm wasn't injured this time..."

Also, a couple of days ago, when the four of them were doing their homework in the coffee shop.

Xie Yu wanted to buy gold, but Xu Wuning jokingly told him, "Don't buy it yet. Let me tell you which year is the best to buy? Which year will see a price surge?"

She stated the year.

Xie Yu's eyes widened: "Really? Xu Wuning, how can you be so sure? Have you learned fortune telling?"

Su Wanyue chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Ningning, how do you know it will definitely go up?"

Xu Wuning smiled and said, "Trust me, you won't go wrong."

Xie Yu's voice was very loud: "Then I'll believe you. If I become rich in the future, I'll definitely thank you properly."

Lu Jingci was doing his homework at the time and had been listening to their conversation. He thought Ningning was joking and just making a guess.

There was one more time.

They were in the mall. Xie Yu and Su Wanyue were still shopping, while he and Xu Wuning sat together to rest and eat ice cream.

He took out his phone, checked the stock market, and carefully observed the red and green numbers and line charts, lost in thought.

Xu Wuning took a bite of her ice cream and glanced at his screen.

She suddenly spoke, her voice casual, and tapped his phone, "Buy this. This stock will rise in the next few years."

Lu Jingci was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at her confident gaze. "You watch this?"

Xu Wuning honestly said, "I'm not very good at reading stocks, and I used to lose money when I bought them, but it's different now. Now I know that this stock will definitely go up."

After saying that, she seemed to realize that what she said sounded a bit far-fetched, so she added, "Do you believe me or not?"

Lu Jingci nodded. "Of course I believe you."

He obediently bought it.

……

inside the house.

Lu Jingci narrowed his eyes.

His fingertips once again rested on the large words "Past and Future" and "Time Nodes" on the page.

Everything was now clearly connected in his mind.

No wonder, she seemed to have foreseen many of the things that had happened recently; she was so certain of it.

No wonder her attitude towards him changed so drastically.

and so……

Xu Wuning is a time traveler from the future!
