But the content from earlier has already been enough to keep him tossing and turning, sleepless for days.
At the same time, he has many questions in his heart.
This year is 1989!
And August 2nd hasnāt yet arrived. He doesnāt know what will happen, but Uncle Guās family isnāt far away in Stone Town; theyāve been settled in the Imperial Capital for over two years now, and those living in their Stone Town home now are from Grandma Lianās family.
The people from Grandma Lianās family are helping the Gu Family look after the house.
But Grandpa Guās grave has already been moved to the Gu Familyās ancestral grave in the Imperial Capital; there are no traces of the Gu Family there anymore.
Regarding this, heās completely baffled, thinking until his head feels like itās going to explode, and heās even mixed all the theories of quantum physics black holes together, but still canāt analyze whatās going on.
So when it comes to what he from the future said, Chang Qing is half-believing, half-doubting.
If the Chang Qing who wrote the letter is him from the future, then he wouldnāt be unaware that Uncle Guās family is currently living in the Imperial Capital.
Moreover, itās impossible for them to move back to Stone Town in the future.
Since Zishu and Qianqian are going to school here, Uncle Gu works here, and Sister Qiaoqiao lives with Big Brother Qin in the military compound in the Imperial Capital.
And the Gu Garden in the Imperial Capital is the Gu Familyās home!
Thereās simply no possibility of any change in this regard, so from any perspective, thereās no way for the members of the Gu Family to move back to Stone Town.
He canāt guarantee a year from now, but he can be sure about three months from now.
Also, how could such absurd things as Qianqianās suicide or Zishu being jailed happen?
At this moment, Chang Qing finally took out the wooden bead bracelet from his pocket, which his future self said was reinforced with special energy that could keep Sister Qiaoqiao safe. But is this true?
How could an ordinary bracelet have such ability?
Right, he suddenly remembered a line from the letter, saying that this energy was sourced from a black hole in the universe.
Which again made him feel it was unbelievable.
A black hole is something so terrifying, not even light can escape its grasp, anything within its reach would be ground to dust. How could this future him have such power, to harness energy from a black hole?
Itās simply ridiculous.
He ran out to ask the guard who had delivered the box. The guard told him it was the postman, a normal mail delivery, but when he looked, the address on the box had disappeared when he received it.
It seemed that as soon as he saw the contents, everything except the wooden bead bracelet would disappear; it was truly strange.
So should he give this wooden bead bracelet to Sister Qiaoqiao?
What if this wooden bead bracelet is dangerous?
However, he had already tested it and found no radiation, but there was indeed a strange energy pervading within, yet with the current level of technology, itās impossible to tell what kind of energy it is.
Then how old exactly is he in the future?
To be able to research such a thing, has technology developed to such a level by then?
So can he safely give this thing to Sister Qiaoqiao?
With the thing in hand, Chang Qing felt very hesitant.
He simply stood up and walked towards the garden outside the door.
In the April days, the Gu Garden looks like a scenic spot.
Pink peach blossoms, white pear blossoms, yellow forsythia flowers, making the Gu Garden like a fairyland on earth.
The Gu Garden was also very quiet.
Occasionally, a few people would work in this garden; Sister Qiaoqiao said they were the old servants of the Old Patriarch Gu. In name, they were servants, but they were already considered family of the Gu Family.
Their children were helping out at Yubao Square or other Gu Family businesses.
Just like Uncle Guās sons.
Gu Lei is currently helping out in Jinling City, managing Yubao Square for the Gu Family in Jinling.
Heās also one of the people valued by the Old Patriarch.
And the Old Patriarch treats these people truly as if they are his own family. Despite the grandeur and luxury, like a princeās garden from ancient times, Chang Qing never feels restrained every time he visits, and he enjoys it here.
He would always be happy to take a stroll here, but today he was walking heavily laden with worries along the garden path.
He didnāt know what to do, whether he should give the wooden bead bracelet to Sister Qiaoqiao, and simultaneously questioned himself, if the wooden bead bracelet truly benefits and protects Sister Qiaoqiao, why not give it to her?
Chang Qing hesitantly stood by the Moon Gate, and just then he heard footsteps behind him, turning to see that it was Sister Qiaoqiao.
In the spring sunlight, Gu Qiaoqiao approached against the light, her steps light and beautiful as if a fairy had accidentally fallen into the mortal world.
Chang Qing was momentarily dazed, then snapped back to reality and smiled brightly at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Sister Qiaoqiao, are you done with your work?"
From afar, Gu Qiaoqiao saw Chang Qing daydreaming here. She wondered what had happened to the child, if this scene reminded him of something. Gu Qiaoqiao carefully recalled todayās circumstances, everything should be fine; the Gu Family is like his own home, no one treats him as a guest, so he should feel at ease.
But why did he have this expression?
Gu Qiaoqiao walked up, tilted her head, looking at the tall young man in front of her; time flew by fast, Chang Qing was already nineteen.
A nineteen-year-old prodigy physicist, now standing in front of her, Gu Qiaoqiao felt very proud and pleased. She smiled, "Chang Qing, why are you here by yourself?"
"I had nothing to do, so I came out for a walk. The Gu Garden now is really beautiful, even more so than a park," Chang Qing quickly explained.
Gu Qiaoqiao naturally agreed with this, "Youāre right, the Gu Garden is the most beautiful in April and May. When you have time off, come to the Gu Garden, let my mom cook something delicious for you."
Chang Qing nodded, "Auntie told me to come here when Iām off, I will."
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled warmly, "Chang Qing, itās right to think that way, you should treat this place as your home."
"I understand, Sister Qiaoqiao."
"Chang Qing, howās your work going recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked with concern. After speaking for a while, she realized that Chang Qing indeed had something on his mind; his eyes looked complex, she couldnāt tell what he was thinking.
Chang Qing stared blankly at Gu Qiaoqiao, his hand in the pocket of his jacket, palm holding the wooden bead bracelet, which was making his hand sweat, and he murmured, "Sister Qiaoqiao, my workās been fine, no troubles. At the National Security Research Institute, the food is good, the accommodation is good, and the teachers treat me well..."
