Next day. Morning.
The sun rose very early in the summer. It couldn't wait to jump out and bask in the sun before six o 'clock.
Dong Xuebing woke up in a two-bedroom apartment on the top floor of the dormitory. He rubbed his sore eyes and woke up. He put on his slippers and got out of bed. He stretched and yawned as he walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian had stayed at Qian Lihua's place yesterday, and they will be staying there for a while. Dong Xuebing does not want to disturb their reunion and did not call them. After making a simple breakfast, Dong Xuebing looked at the time. It's still early before work, and he leaned against the window sill.
But he did not call Yu Meixia, and Yu Meixia called.
Dong Xuebing answered and heard Yu Meixia whispering to him. "Xiao Bing, it's me. Are you awake?"
"I just woke up. Where are you?"
"I am at my mother's place."
"What about them?"
"They are still sleeping. They are not awake."
Dong Xuebing laughed. Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua had divorced many years ago, and they did not get married after that. Last night, they slept in the same room and on the same bed. Dong Xuebing wanted to ask Sister Yu if she heard anything last night, but he remembered they are Liu Chenlong's parents, and he did not say it out loud.
"How are you feeling?" Dong Xuebing asked.
"Hmmm … I am fine." Yu Meixia replied warmly. "My mother asked me and Qianqian to stay at her place. I want to ask you …"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Why are you asking me? You can decide for yourself. "
"I can tell Qianqian likes her grandmother. Then … I will stay here."
"Haha … Qianqian likes her grandmother, and you don't like her?"
"… no."
After chatting for a while, Yu Meixia suddenly said embarrassedly. "Xiao Bing … I want to borrow some money from you. I will return it to you after I start working. Is it convenient? Ah … it's fine if it's not convenient. I … just pretend I did not say anything. "
Dong Xuebing blinked. "What's wrong? Why would I need money? "
"I … I just want to buy something for my parents. I haven't been filial to them for so many years. I … I don't want to spend their money."
Dong Xuebing agreed. "Alright. You can still use that account. I'll transfer it to you when the bank opens. Two hundred thousand? "
Yu Meixia got a fright. "No need. It's too much. Just 5,000 RMB will do."
"Then 50,000 RMB. You can keep it and save it. If you need more, just let me know." Dong Xuebing will not reject Sister Yu's request.
"… Mm, thank you."
"We've been husband and wife for so long. Do we still need to talk about this?"
"Yes."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing felt relieved. Yu Meixia would rather use his money than her parents' money, which means Yu Meixia is closer to him than her parents. Although blood is thicker than water, they had just met not long ago and still need some time to get to know each other. A family, a warm family, is built step by step.
It's past 6 am.
Dong Xuebing looked at the time and stretched his arms. He opened the window to take in a deep breath of fresh air before looking out at the scenery outside.
Too many things had happened yesterday, and Dong Xuebing needs time to digest.
For example, Sister Yu and her mother's reunion …
For example, the discovery of FORWARD …
For example, saving Qian Lihua …
Dong Xuebing thought about everything in his mind. In the end, he focused on FORWARD and came up with a few conclusions. FORWARD had moved the time forward to the next day's newspaper, and there was no doubt that it was real. What happened to Qian Lihua was exactly the same as what was described in the newspaper. That's why FORWARD's effect was real and could work. This cleared Dong Xuebing's doubts. Another conclusion is that the future can be changed. The next day, the newspaper reported that Qian Lihua had died in a car accident. But Dong Xuebing changed the news and did not let it happen. This made Dong Xuebing feel confident about moving forward and the future. He can see the future and change it. This is something no one can do except for him.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing heard some movements in the corridor outside.
It sounds like footsteps and the rustling of papers.
Dong Xuebing turned around and stared at the door. He walked up to the door and looked through the mirror. It was a man in work attire, delivering newspapers. When Dong Xuebing looked over, that man had turned around and walked down the stairs.
The newspaper arrived.
It was the newspaper that Dong Xuebing had created with FORWARD yesterday.
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. He opened the door and looked at the plastic newspaper box. Dong Xuebing took out the key and opened it slowly.
There was a piece of newspaper in the box.
Dong Xuebing took it out and saw the date was today.
Dong Xuebing returned to his room and closed the door. He sat on the sofa and opened the newspaper. He took a look at the front page.
The political article at the top had not changed. It was still the same headline and content.
But the article about the car accident had changed to a Nanshan District's Greening Workshop. Dong Xuebing flipped to the back of the article. The drunken driver who crashed into a cafe was on the third page, and Qian Lihua's name was not mentioned in the article. Dong Xuebing looked at the other articles and advertisements. The future of newspapers had changed.
But Dong Xuebing had a new question.
FORWARD had advanced the time of the newspaper box and made it the "next day" newspaper box. Then why did it not receive the "next day" newspaper today?
In the end, Dong Xuebing understood something. FORWARD was only used at that moment. When he advanced the time of the newspaper box, there was a copy of the next day's newspaper in the box. This was the effect of FORWARD. But it was not continuous. That means after FORWARD advances the time of the newspaper box, the space inside the newspaper box will not be connected to the next day. The newspaper deliverer can only insert that day's newspaper into the box, and this newspaper box will become the same day's newspaper box again.
After thinking about this, Dong Xuebing picked up the newspaper from the future where Qian Lihua's death was reported. He lit up the newspaper with his lighter and burnt it.
FORWARD！
Dong Xuebing must use this command properly in the future!
