Upon hearing this, Time remained silent for a moment.
After searching through his memory for a while, he vaguely remembered that he had actually asked that question.
Just as Lin Momo was about to answer, she was interrupted by the doctor who came in for rounds, and the matter was left unresolved.
Neither of them brought up the topic again.
His earlier question wasn't really meant to confirm anything with Lin Momo, nor was it driven by curiosity to investigate anything; it was merely a topic that arose on a whim.
Therefore, once spoken, it is forgotten and does not take to heart.
Lin Momo kept it in mind, and has remembered it ever since, and has given a reply.
But this reply sounded like he was being teased.
Then, Shiguang looked down at the person in his arms with a good temper and coaxed, "Okay, I know. Let's go for a walk, or I'll take you to see a movie."
Even if she really did travel through time, hasn't she come back now?
As long as this girl doesn't leave him and stays by his side, that's fine.
"You don't believe me?" Lin Momo knew he wouldn't believe her.
No one would believe you if you told them this.
After all, the events that exist in online novels are most likely non-existent in real life.
Take the story of a domineering CEO marrying a Cinderella as an example; it's purely a fairy tale for young girls.
A domineering CEO might fall in love with a beautiful Cinderella, but he would never marry her; at most, she'd be his mistress. A CEO isn't a simple person, and he won't have just one woman in his life. He has a clear understanding of his women's roles: who's the kept woman, who's the capable assistant, who's the confidante, and who's the wife.
Furthermore, throughout history, marriage has never been just a matter between two individuals, but rather a matter concerning the expectations and future of two families. Nowadays, social classes are gradually becoming more rigid, and upward mobility for those at the bottom is extremely limited. Those who hope to achieve upward social mobility through marriage will almost always be harshly slapped in the face by reality.
Furthermore, the idea of time travel or reincarnation is utter nonsense.
People today, especially after decades of subversive education on traditional culture, have little reverence for ghosts and gods, and are even less likely to believe in things like soul travel.
That's understandable.
After all, even monks in their robes have begun to transform and keep up with the times. Apart from not being interested in chanting scriptures and meditating in temples, there's nothing they're not interested in or dare to do.
People like Shi Guang, who have received higher education and Party training, are even less likely to believe it.
This was exactly what Lin Momo had anticipated.
Lin Momo smiled slightly and looked up at him: "Shiguang, haven't you ever thought about where those copper coins in my hand came from?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Guang paused for a moment.
Where did those copper coins come from?
He hadn't really thought about this in detail, nor did he see any need to pursue it. Since Lin Momo wanted to make a move, he would help her find a buyer.
"Where did you get it? It was either passed down from your Lin family ancestors, or you obtained it yourself from somewhere?" Shi Guang offered his own guess, nonchalantly adding, "But do I need to know that?"
Lin Momo, having run out of patience, simply revealed the answer: "You're all wrong. I brought it back from ancient times."
"Impossible! Even if your soul really traveled to the past while you were unconscious, how did you bring back those copper coins?" Shi Guang immediately questioned.
"This is all thanks to my jade gourd."
"Jade gourd?"
“Yes, it’s the one I’m wearing.” Lin Momo lowered her head to pull the chain, and the jade gourd was pulled out from her collar. She then held it between her fingers for Shi Guang to see. “However, it seems to have changed a bit. The jade is so delicate and smooth. I’m starting to wonder if it was switched while I was asleep.”
Time itself felt a pang of guilt.
I thought to myself, it has indeed been switched, and unfortunately, it was me.
At this moment, Shi Guang was also intrigued and urged Lin Momo in his arms, "Yes, continue."
So, Lin Momo said, thinking for a moment, "Well, after losing consciousness in the car accident that day, I thought I was dead. Who knew I would wake up and become an ancient peasant girl named Lin Erya. The night I woke up, when I thought of this pendant, I entered a space—well, to be precise, my old farmhouse courtyard. Those copper coins were brought back from there..."
Time remained silent, listening intently to Lin Momo's narration as if it were an incredibly fantastical myth.
"...This jade gourd not only brought my soul back to life in another world, but also bestowed upon me a treasure similar to a Qiankun bag. However, to be honest, I'm not sure if my miraculous experience is due to this jade pendant, since there's still a lack of concrete evidence. But I inexplicably feel that this must be the truth." Lin Momo concluded.
This upscale community is very quiet even during the day.
After Lin Momo finished speaking, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Time quietly embraced Lin Momo, resting its chin on the top of her head, remaining silent for a long time.
Perhaps he needs time to process what he just heard that was beyond his comprehension, Lin thought to himself, understandingly.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Guang said softly, "Wait a moment, I'm going inside to get something."
As he spoke, he got up from the sofa and staggered into the bedroom.
A moment later, Shi Guang sat back down on the sofa, slowly opening his clenched palms in front of Lin Momo, and said, "Look at this, what is it?"
In the large palm was a jade gourd covered with cracks.
"It, it looks familiar... Could this be...?" Lin Momo's mouth gaped open in disbelief.
Time nodded and said, "That's right, this is your jade gourd. The one around your neck is a new one I bought for you. I hope it will bring you good luck and help you wake up soon. So, your feeling should be right. Your jade gourd is indeed very magical. It's cracked like this, but it hasn't broken. It must be waiting for you to come back."
Trembling, Lin Momo picked up the small gourd that had almost been shattered for her, her eyes welling with tears. She held it loosely in her hands and pressed it against her chest.
The next moment, tears of emotion welled up uncontrollably.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.
A warm tear rolled down her chin and landed on the small gourd in Lin Momo's palm. Instantly, as if a chemical reaction had occurred, the gourd was enveloped in a halo of light.
