Chapter 293 Time Travel
The news was so shocking that Shirakawa Miwa's brain was overloaded. She stood motionless beside Rurikawa Tsubaki like a stone statue. The down-on-her-luck young lady's maid did not make a sound to disturb her. Although she was not quite clear about the situation, she could guess that the beautiful Shirakawa teacher and Koko must have a past story.
The ability that Teacher Baihe suddenly appeared in front of me was one of the three abilities on the [Superpower Training Box]: instant teleportation. Moreover, she seemed to be much more proficient than me. She must have trained for three years and had completely mastered these three superpowers.
It seems this teacher is one of us...
"Whew," As Rurikawa Tsubaki drifted off into thought, Shirakawa Miwa also snapped out of her chaotic thoughts. She didn't question or ask any more questions, because her past memories had already provided the answer. She couldn't understand why she was only now recalling his small face, and why she hadn't remembered what he looked like before.
That feeling had been stirring in my heart all along, but without realizing it, I had completely ignored his face and his appearance... I didn't think about him for an entire semester; I only felt a deep connection with him.
It's only now that I'm recalling it, could it have been Xiao Xiao who did it too?
But that's not the time to think about these things. No matter how shocked or confused she was, her priority was to find Mu Xiaoxiao as soon as possible. Baihe Meihe had a lot of questions she wanted to ask him: why didn't he acknowledge her? Why hadn't he grown up all these years and was still a high school student?
“Rurikawa-kun, where is he... Xiaoxiao now?” Shirakawa Miwa asked succinctly, “I want to see him.” “...Okay, I’ll take you to see the master right now.”
Just as Tsubaki Rurikawa agreed, a new message appeared on her phone. She was thinking of telling her master about it, but when she saw the message on the screen, the maid opened her mouth slightly and a look of apology appeared on her face. "Teacher Shirakawa, I'm sorry."
"???
"You may not see him for a while... I just received news that the master has to leave for some time."
Shirakawa Miwa's heart leaped into her throat, her beautiful face drained of color. "Why now of all times... Is he going to leave again for several years like last time? Or is he hiding from me? Him?"
Shirakawa-sensei's flustered appearance made Rurikawa Tsubaki want to laugh. She smiled and said, "You're overthinking it, Shirakawa-sensei. We're all here. How could the master leave? He'll be back soon. Just wait patiently for the next few levels."
After taking several deep breaths, the blonde female teacher finally forced herself to calm down. She patted the proudly erect breasts and nodded with a tone that was both fierce and conflicted, "I understand. I will wait for him to come back."
After meeting him, she was determined to give Mu Xiaoxiao a good talking-to. But before that, Shirakawa Miwa felt there was someone else who could answer her questions. After saying goodbye to Rurikawa Tsubaki, she didn't hesitate to take out her phone and contact that person.
As for You Zhongchu, who was dead beyond any doubt, he was like an ant on the roadside, with no one caring whether he lived or died.
"Miwa? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?" Tsubakihara Mira's slightly irritated voice reached Miwa's ears. Miwa almost immediately wanted to complain, but she held back. "Mira-nee, do you have time? I need to talk to you about something."
"You know I'm very busy, I have work to do." "It's a very important thing!!"
"Miho, you seem to be in a bad mood. Well, you're my best friend, so I'll come over to your place."
Best friend? Is this how best friends betray me? Even with her gentle nature, Shirakawa Miwa couldn't help but let out a cold laugh after hanging up the phone. I was wondering why Mira was so obsessed with Xiao Xiao. Despite the huge age gap, she still dated him. I thought it was an old cow eating young grass, but it turns out...
The meeting place was arranged in a coffee shop, which was owned by Mira herself and was also one of her strongholds. She specially chose a quiet private room and waved to the blonde woman who was waiting inside.
"Miwa, good afternoon! You don't usually have such a serious expression, what's wrong?"
Shirakawa Miwa's mood had calmed down considerably by now. She was no longer as impulsive and frantic as before. Although she still looked at Mira with a resentful gaze, at least she wouldn't lose her composure.
"Sister Mira, I'm suffering so much." "???"
"Let's not even talk about how you and Xiaoxiao got together, Sister Mira. You knew about Xiaoxiao and my relationship from the very beginning, right? You knew very well that he was my lover, yet you... you actually kept it from me..."
Shirakawa Miwa slammed her hand on the table angrily, "Keeping it from me is one thing, but to secretly steal my boyfriend is another! Mira-nee is just too much!!" Tsubakihara Mira had barely sat down when Shirakawa Miwa bombarded her with questions. Mira rolled her eyes, "You remembered everything? Miwa, it's not that I didn't want to tell you..."
You treated Xiaoxiao like a complete stranger before. Even if I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me, right? You would think I was talking nonsense, so you can't blame me for that.
That makes sense; I wouldn't have believed such a claim before.
Shirakawa Miwa's expression froze. "Even so, you can't just take advantage of the situation and steal my boyfriend... That's really awful!" "Miwa, I didn't steal your boyfriend. If we're talking about how long I've known Xiaoxiao, I'm not necessarily any shorter than you," Tsubakihara Mira said with a warm smile. "We've known each other for a long time, otherwise why would I pay so much attention to him?"
Thinking of Mira's special attitude towards Mu Xiaoxiao, Shirakawa Meiwa suddenly understood, but the beautiful teacher was even more puzzled, "So when he appeared in front of me back then, you already knew him, Mira? Then why do you still remember him, but I..."
She had completely forgotten his appearance, or rather, it was sealed deep within her heart by some mysterious force, causing her to deliberately ignore it.
“I think it’s probably because of this,” Mira said, taking out her Best Friend Communication Card. “Before, Xiao Xiao hadn’t formed a bond with us, and hadn’t experienced our past encounters, so this corrective power appeared. Since I have this, I’m naturally unaffected.”
“Meihe, the reason you suddenly remembered his appearance is perhaps because Xiaoxiao started his journey to the past to meet us, which is why the corrective power in your body disappeared.”
Shirakawa Meiwa was a little confused, but she also realized one thing: it wasn't that Xiao Xiao didn't want to acknowledge her, but that he genuinely didn't know her before. Thinking of this, Shirakawa Meiwa breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then there was no problem. She had thought that Xiao Xiao disliked or was annoyed by her.
After so many years of separation, Shirakawa Miwa was really worried that this situation would occur.
"Don't worry," Mira said, noticing her distress, as she sipped her coffee. "Just wait for him to come back... The summer festival is coming up soon, and I think Xiaoxiao can get back before then."
"Chadian, ah"
Miwa Shirakawa's eyes were glazed over, as if she were lost in memories.
Although the [True or False Divination Device] has already given the result, and the terrifying thing about this prop is that its answer is 100% correct, giving Mu Xiaoxiao an endless sense of security, time travel is still a first for him, and he needs to prepare seriously.
Furthermore, she didn't bother to inform the women in the family, nor did she explain in detail. She simply told Xingli and the others that she was going on a trip to the past for a while. Xingli and the others were naturally confused, but Mira knew exactly what Mu Xiaoxiao was going to do.
"Considering that the time belt cannot be moved, we need to find a safe place to travel through time," Mu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't travel through time directly in the hospital. He simply found a relatively secluded park, picked a hidden grove of trees, and put the time belt around his waist.
"As for the time... seven years ago today, OK, all set up," even Mu Xiaoxiao, who had seen it all, couldn't contain his excitement and nervousness at this moment. He took a deep breath and pressed the button sharply, "Let's begin! Time travel!!"
brush
A living person vanished into thin air into the woods, leaving only the rustling of leaves as if they had witnessed the scene. Soon, all was quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
Mu Xiaoxiao was currently in a huge, twisted passage. The passage, filled with time symbols, seemed to exist between reality and illusion, making people feel dizzy. Wearing a belt, Mu Xiaoxiao floated in the passage, her whole body flying uncontrollably in a certain direction.
A time-space portal?!
He was stunned and quickly tried to take out his phone to take a picture, only to find that the phone was malfunctioning. Not only the phone, but all electronic products were unusable. In this time tunnel, it seemed that only the secret tools could be used normally.
“I must be the first person to enter the time-space passage, since there are no time-space patrol teams here,” Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed. “When we have a time machine in the future, we can bring them here to experience it together.”
Seven years is a short time. Before Mu Xiaoxiao's shock had subsided, they arrived at their destination. Gazing at the white light exit that was getting closer and closer, Mu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, waiting for the time travel to end.
Seven years ago, I arrived in this world! *Whoosh*...
Mu Xiaoxiao left the time-space portal, gravity returned to her, and then... "Ah!!!!!!!"
Hmm? What do I mean, I think I heard some kind of scream?!
Chapter 294 The Strange Boy
In the grove of trees in the park, a young high school couple were staging a confession scene: "Shirakawa-kun, I like you!"
The boy's face was filled with adoration as he gazed intently at the beautiful blonde girl before him with a look of deep affection, as if he were looking at a dog. "I've been looking at you for a long time, and I've liked you for a long time too. Please go out with me, okay?!"
In this grove of trees, confessions of love seem to happen frequently. However, the blonde girl standing in front of the boy making the confession clearly showed a look of resistance on her face. She shook her head, looking at her hair, and said with a hint of reluctance, "Sorry, Mei Chuan, I can't date you."
"Why?" The boy, pale-faced from the rejection, looked up in disbelief. "Baihe, do you already have a boyfriend? Are you already dating someone else?"
"No, but I don't have romantic feelings for you either. I only see you as a classmate, so... I'm sorry, I can't date you." Shirakawa Miwa's words seemed to deal a heavy blow to Umekawa-kun's heart. He couldn't accept it. "You're lying, right? You must already have someone you like, otherwise why wouldn't you accept my confession? I like you so much..."
He seemed unable to accept that the girl he liked had rejected him, clutching his head in his hands, looking like a villain, "I like you so much, I've always been by your side, and you actually..."
Shirakawa Miwa was terrified by his dark appearance, and took two steps back, her face pale. "Umekawa-kun, calm down. No matter what you say, the fact remains that I don't like you. You..."
Review!!!
ah!!!!!"
The girl opened her cherry-like mouth in shock, her face full of disbelief as a strange boy suddenly appeared above Mei Chuan's head, putting a heavy pressure on him who was about to turn evil, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Wha, what's going on?
Where did this person come from? Why did they suddenly appear up there? Did they fall from the tree? Shirakawa Miwa raised her head and looked up at the tree branch above her, several question marks slowly floating above her head.
However, although it's unclear how he appeared, he was a great help.
The scorching sun, the summer heat, and the constant chirping of cicadas all around gave Mu Xiaoxiao the illusion that she was still in the original time, and that time travel was just a hallucination.
However, this feeling was quickly interrupted. He felt himself bump into something, and when he came to his senses, he looked down at the unconscious passerby man he had been sitting on and was stunned for a moment.
Ah this?
I was trying to avoid people, but how did I still run into them? I specifically chose this grove of trees, what a coincidence!
"Are you alright?" The girl's voice came from very close by. "Did you fall from the tree? Are you okay?"
"Uh," she looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful face with a gentle and kind demeanor, looking at her with concern. Mu Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "That's right, I fell from a tree, but someone cushioned my fall so I'm fine. Cough cough, sorry to bother you."
"No, I should thank you for helping me. This person has been bothering me for a long time," the beautiful girl rubbed her forehead and sighed in distress. "I've rejected him so many times, but I didn't expect him to keep bothering me like this."
The girl looked like she had a headache.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not respond. He stared at the somewhat familiar face in front of him for a long time. That beautiful yet somewhat familiar face, wasn't that Teacher Shirakawa? Compared to the future Shirakawa Miwa, the girl in front of him was much more naive.
She was still wearing her school uniform and looked like a female high school student. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't expect to meet an acquaintance as soon as she arrived in the past world. It seems that I have indeed come to the world seven years ago.
The sound of cicadas gradually became clearer. Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, glanced around at the seemingly unchanged park and woods, and finally fixed her gaze on the JK girl in front of her. Her brain was spinning wildly. Wasn't the device supposed to make Mira the female lead in this time travel? How did Shirakawa-sensei suddenly appear out of nowhere?
However, I must say, the young and naive Shirakawa-sensei is quite interesting. But the question is, if I knew Shirakawa-sensei seven years ago, why doesn't she recognize me seven years later?
Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't get an answer to the question about time, so she could only put it aside for the time being.
"That means you're popular," Mu Xiaoxiao said, not even glancing at the unconscious person on the ground, and grinning as she looked at the JK girl in front of her. "You probably get confessed to a lot at school, right?"
"Yes, there are, but I've rejected them all. As for dating... I don't have any thoughts on that right now, mainly because I don't like any of the boys at school."
Shirakawa Miwa glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao with some oddity; the unfamiliar boy's attitude seemed a bit strange.
"She's clearly just a high school student, yet she's surprisingly mature, and her personality hasn't changed much," Mu Xiaoxi sighed. "It's just that her appearance has become much more youthful."
Shirakawa Miwa looked puzzled. "I feel like you're looking down on me... Aren't you a high school student too? You're about my age, right? Which school do you go to?"
"What, checking my household registration?" Mu Xiaoxiao grinned and made an X. "My school is a major secret, I can't tell you, emmmm, you'll find out later."
After saying that, he straightened his face and stared seriously at the high school student Shirakawa Miwa in front of him. "Classmate, I just helped you out, so I'm practically your benefactor. Shouldn't you repay me?"
That's normal, but why does it feel so strange that he brought it up himself? Shirakawa Miwa instantly became wary, thinking that this strange boy wanted to make some unreasonable request.
"Of course, I have no problem with the reward, but... I won't agree to any unreasonable demands." Shirakawa Miwa also made a cross in front of her. Although she didn't see any desire for her in the boy's eyes, Shirakawa Miwa was still a little worried.
After all, she was well aware of her charm, and she was often confessed to and approached by boys at school.
However, this girl was clearly overthinking things. Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands together and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just arrived in this city for some reasons, so I'm a bit... short on cash. Could you give me some financial support?"
What material support? To put it bluntly, he just wants money. Looking at his silly grin with his tongue sticking out, Shirakawa Miwa fell silent. It was the first time a boy had asked her for money.
"Don't worry, it's just a loan. I'll definitely pay you back later!" Mu Xiaoxiao patted his chest and made a solemn promise. He wasn't lying. Paying back in seven years was still paying back, wasn't it?
Shirakawa Miwa's lips twitched, as if she wanted to laugh, or perhaps make another expression, before finally taking out a cute little purse from her pocket. "As for money... well, is ten thousand enough?"
Rich woman.
"It would be even better if you could add another ten thousand."
The guy who helped me, why does he seem so greedy?!
Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao happily accept the money and then run to search Mei Chuan's pockets, Bai He Meihe covered her face with her hands, unable to bear watching. Strange boy.
Chapter 295 Familiar People from the Past
Having arrived in the past world, Mu Xiaoxiao felt that his most urgent task was to solve the problem of food and lodging. He then realized that he had no money, not only no money, but also no one he knew. It was as if he had returned to the time when he first transmigrated to this world.
Of course, things are completely different now compared to back then. The biggest difference is her current strength. Actually, there are many ways for Mu Xiaoxiao to get money, but how should I put it? Seeing Mr. Shirakawa, who was just a high school student back then and was quite naive, she couldn't help but tease him.
She actually gave it to me! No wonder she's Professor Shirakawa, she's so amazing!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mu Xiaoxiao, who had amassed quite a bit of money, stuffed it into her pocket without hesitation, then turned to the blonde beauty staring at her with an innocent look. "Aren't you very fond of Qing? You're not going to report me, are you?"
“...No,” Shirakawa Miwa shook her head, a hesitant look on her cute face. “It’s just that doing this kind of thing isn’t really a good idea. If you’re really short of money, I can give you more.”
No wonder he's a future teacher; he's already showing signs of being preachy, and his values are truly profound.
"That's enough, don't worry, classmate. I'm a person of principle," Mu Xiaoxiao stood up, her figure exuding an aura of righteousness. "I only deal with these vile guys. I never mess with ordinary people."
“You only took 20,000 yen from me,” JK girl Shirakawa Miwa said quietly.
“I already said it was borrowed,” Mu Xiaoxiao explained earnestly, her tone and expression serious. “I will pay it back, I really will, you should believe me.”
After saying that, Mu Xiaoxiao left with a meaningful smile, "It's getting late, I should go now, Mr. Baihe... Classmate, we'll meet again in the future."
Watching his departing figure, Shirakawa Miwa remained stunned for a long time before gradually coming back to her senses. The beautiful high school girl belatedly realized, "How did he know my name? Did I just introduce myself?"
It seems not.
Shirakawa Miwa suddenly became very concerned, feeling that the boy's last smile was very unusual. "And I don't even know his name. Will we really meet again?"
Shirakawa Miwa didn't really care about the person repaying the money; the girl was just a little concerned about the boy, and she didn't know why, but she always felt that he was very familiar with her.
"What a strange boy..."
As for Mei Chuan, who had fainted on the ground, she paid no more attention to him, as if to say that she had nothing to do with him. Shirakawa Meiwa gathered her schoolbag from her shoulder and left quickly.
