Answer the phone now, or I'm hanging up.

The ringtone kept repeating, but the owner stubbornly refused to answer.

"Where am I?" Yun Qi shook his head. He looked around at his surroundings. "Isn't this my old home? How did I end up here again?"

The phone rang again, and Yunqi answered it instinctively.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing? Why haven't you answered the phone for so long? You're already late for the morning meeting!" Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voice in his ear, Yun Qi suddenly remembered that it was his director.

A bold idea popped into Yunqi's head. Had she gone back to the way things were? But she didn't ask aloud, immediately replying, "Boss, I'd like to ask for leave today; I'm feeling a little unwell."

"Oh, you're not feeling well? Then you should rest at home for now. Remember to submit a sick leave note when you get back."

"Okay, okay, thank you, boss." After hanging up the phone, Yun Qi immediately opened the calendar on his phone, which showed him back 12 years ago.

Yunqi sat in the corner, hugging her knees, silently shedding tears. This was a return to a time before everything began. She was lost; even after returning, she still had to face the same apocalypse. Could she change everything?

At that moment, Yunqi remembered her parents who were still in her hometown. She picked up her phone and dialed their number.

"Xiao Qi, didn't you just call yesterday? You miss your mom again?" A familiar voice came from the phone.

“…Mom,” Yunqi choked up when he heard his mother’s voice.

"Xiaoqi, what's wrong? Don't scare your mother!" When Yun's mother heard that her daughter's voice was off, she immediately became anxious.

"Mom, it's nothing, I just suddenly missed you all," Yun Qi replied, trying to calm himself down.

"I miss home. I'll come back to visit when I have a holiday in a while."

After chatting with his mother for a while longer, Yunqi reluctantly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yunqi slowly recalled the events of his past life.

Yunqi was born in a small city in the north. Her hometown is a fourth-tier city nestled between mountains and rivers. Her ancestral home is in a village in the countryside. Her parents retired from the city and built a new rural villa to live in. The villagers are all of the same clan and surname, and they are very united.

Yunqi was admitted to X University in the south and found a job in this city after graduation. For several years, her career was stagnant, with a low salary but stable employment. No one expected that nature would play such a cruel joke; the seasons changed unpredictably, and various natural disasters occurred frequently. When the natural disasters began, they were not taken seriously, and in the end, she was unable to return to her hometown.

She desperately wanted to return to her parents' side, but she knew it wasn't the right time yet. She hadn't repaid what she owed them, and he was still in this city.

No one expected that the city would disappear from the ground two years later. Yunqi still feels lingering fear when he recalls that terrible tsunami.

"How are we supposed to get through this crisis like this? If only my space had come with me." Just then, she realized that her space had also returned.

She was searching for food in the ruins when she found a ring. Because it had an apple engraved on it, and she was so hungry, she thought that even if she couldn't eat it, just looking at it would satisfy her craving. So she kept the ring.

I didn't expect there to be a space inside. It wasn't until a month before my rebirth, when I was peeling sweet potatoes with my hands, that my finger accidentally crawled onto a piece of broken glass, and blood seeped into my ring, which opened up this space.
