While feeling saddened, Lin Momo couldn't help but feel fortunate that Time had retired, otherwise he certainly wouldn't be able to remain so calm and composed.
Damage is damage, and it cannot be ignored just because it is small.
Lin Momo felt guilty for ruining such a perfect person with her impulsive actions.
But if you ask her, "If you were given another chance, would you still do the same thing?"
She would definitely answer without hesitation: "Yes!"
It's like someone who knows they're wrong but is unwilling to repent.
Therefore, Lin Momo's guilt towards time is doubled.
Overwhelmed by guilt, she silently lowered her head.
As if sensing her feelings, Shiguang sat back down by the hospital bed and comforted her, saying, "This little injury is nothing. When I was in the army, every injury I ever got was more serious than this."
Lin Momo looked up in shock and met his smiling gaze.
He thought to himself, "It seems he really doesn't mind."
At that moment, Lin subconsciously dropped all her wariness towards the stranger, and at the same time, she was filled with respect and gratitude for him.
Little did they know, this atmosphere would be ruined in the next moment.
"However, now that you're crippled, I'm afraid it'll be hard for you to find a partner in the future." Shi Guang pursed her lips, paused, and said with a hint of seriousness, "If you feel guilty, why not... repay me with your body?"
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
At this moment, Lin Momo's stomach unexpectedly started to sing, as if responding on behalf of its owner.
Lin Momo was extremely embarrassed, and a blush immediately spread across her face.
“I’ll take that as a yes!” Shi Guang, quick to seize the opportunity, immediately said with a beaming smile. She glanced at her watch and then changed the subject, “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.”
The awkward situation was finally over, and Lin Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, casually replying, "I'm not picky about food, you can buy whatever you want."
"So easy to take care of! I know, just you wait!" Shi Guang smiled, took out a new cell phone from his pocket and handed it over. "Your old phone won't work anymore, but I found the SIM card. I got it for you from the police station. Call me whenever you want to eat something."
Lin hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it.
He thought to himself, "I already owe him enough, so what's one more phone?"
If she knew that all the expenses for her hospitalization were paid by Time, she would probably be even more reckless.
Lin Momo's ability to escape death and wake up this time was not only due to Heaven's mercy, but also the result of Time's relentless efforts.
As time slowly slipped away, the ward fell into silence.
Lin Momo looked around the entire ward one last time before she dared to believe that she had truly come back to life.
Then, she fell into confusion again.
So, was everything that happened in that other timeline just a dream, or did she really travel through time?
To call it a fleeting dream would be too real.
If it's a time travel story, why bring her back?
There's no such thing as being able to return immediately after time travel. Even if you could travel back in a novel, you'd have to live in the era you traveled to for a very long time.
Could it be that they've really given us a chance to come back and stock up?
Or perhaps she read too many time-travel novels and, during the days she was in a deep sleep... had a dream about time travel.
Thinking of this, Lin Momo couldn't help but think of her own little courtyard.
If the space still exists, it proves that time travel was not a dream.
With her hands clasped together outside the blanket, Lin Momo focused her mind, trying to sense that mysterious place.
My heart was filled with both trepidation and anticipation.
The next moment, everything in the courtyard was clearly presented to her. The mountain goods she had stockpiled in the mountains were exactly the same as the items she had purchased in the county town.
"Sigh!" Lin Momo sighed softly, her heart filled with mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy or sad.
It seems that time travel really happened.
I wonder what the deeper meaning is behind Heaven's arrangement in this way?
Oh, right!
Lin Momo quickly lowered her head and began to grope around her neck. Soon, she found a jade gourd. When she looked at it closely, she was dumbfounded.
It has a cool and smooth feel and a translucent color.
Is this still her ordinary jade gourd?
To get a better look, she took the jade off her neck.
But looking at it from all angles, apart from the shape, it had no resemblance to her original gourd at all. Even the chain had changed drastically, gleaming with gold and looking brand new.
What exactly happened?
Lin Momo scratched her head.
She then came to a conclusion: could it have been a fine piece of jade all along, and now it had simply shed its ordinary protective color and revealed its true appearance?
It's quite normal for a jade stone with such magical power to change its appearance after being transported through time and even create a magical space that can bind to a soul.
Lin Momo had no idea that the jade she was wearing had been switched.
It's the kind of exchange where you get something better in return for something worse.
No one in the world would be willing to do something so disadvantageous, so it's no wonder she stopped speculating in that direction.
Therefore, Lin Momo was unaware that the original jade stone had almost been shattered to pieces for her sake.
*
When time returned to the ward, Lin Momo was trying to get out of bed and walk around.
Everyone knows how expensive hospital stays can be; she just wanted to be discharged as soon as possible, and felt the pinch of spending even one more day in the hospital.
