"What are you reading?" Lu Li suddenly leaned forward, his breath brushing against the reddened tips of her ears. Lin Yue turned and bumped into his arms, the fragmented pages in her hands falling to pieces, revealing a secret message written in cinnabar on the back. A calico cat had crouched on the desk, its gear-like eyes projecting a holographic translation: "To unlock the space-time lock, one must find the knot of one's heart."
Lu Li's code flow suddenly surged, enveloping her in a silver-purple cocoon of light. His voice carried a dimensional tremor: "Remember the cocoon of light at the zero-dimensional point?" His fingertips brushed the back of her neck, where a tiny topological tattoo had appeared. "This time, I'll find your timeline."
As the first rays of dawn pierced the clouds, Lin Yue discovered a bronze compass, a relic of a super-dimensional consciousness, beneath the foundations of the library. As the needle spun frantically, she and Lu Li pressed it simultaneously. The golden-red timeline and the silver-purple code stream intertwined in concentric circles, reflecting the ancient Earth's oldest symbol, "囍," at the compass's center.
The moment the rift opened, Miss Wang stood at the study door, her food box in hand, watching as the two beams of light disappeared into the compass, leaving behind only a mess of embroidered handkerchiefs and a half-eaten block of almond milk. She blinked, then suddenly ran away screaming, "There's a ghost! Master Lu and that wild girl have been abducted by a demon!"
Meanwhile, on the hyper-dimensional spaceship, Lin Yue rubbed his head, which was dizzy from the turbulence of time and space, and looked at Lu Li who was sorting out the code flow beside him: "The ancient version of you, quite jealous." The calico cat popped up a holographic image at the right time, which was the scene of Lu Li throwing the handkerchief given by Miss Wang into the pond.
Lu Li lifted her chin with his coding hand, and a silver-purple light flowed through his fingertips: "Next time if you dare to call someone cousin..." His voice suddenly became low, "I will punish you by making you use the time thread to embroider 10,000 resonance waveforms of ours." Lin Yue smiled and kissed his lips. In the golden, red and silver-purple light, the calico cat meowed in dissatisfaction and silently turned off the holographic projection.
