i was my mistake

"Tch, it's not like you don't know that you won less than 500 million yuan, at most tens of thousands of yuan... huh?"

"what?"

"That's right, didn't we ask Dad to buy a lottery ticket yesterday, did he buy it?"

"I don't know either. I didn't ask again yesterday."

"Damn it!" Wan Qing slapped Ye Chen's thigh hard, "I should have bought more tickets! Even if it wasn't the first prize, buying a hundred tickets would be worth millions!"

"Hey, even if it's just tens of thousands of dollars, it's not bad."

"That's right, if there are three, it's almost 10 yuan, and a middle-to-high-end Santana is only [-] yuan."

Of course, there is no comparison between the [-] in this era and the [-] in later years. The price is quite high, and the quality is also exceptionally good, which is why there is such a saying as "a Santana that can't be broken".

"I don't know if Dad bought it..."

"I hope he buys it, damn it, if I knew the cycle would end, I would have bought it myself, alas..."

"It doesn't matter." Ye Chen looked at it openly, "Life is like this, but I'm curious why the cycle suddenly ended."

"It's probably because we finished things in the correct order, or it has nothing to do with us at all—who knows." Wan Qing adjusted her comfortable posture and narrowed her green eyes, "What the hell , as long as it’s over.”

"The main thing is that I am very concerned about why it happened like that."

"I don't think it's better not to know, maybe after knowing, there will be a lot of troubles coming." Wan Qing yawned and muttered softly, "Curiosity killed the cat, do you understand... I sleep for a while."

"Don't I still have to comb your hair?"

"You comb it slowly while I'm asleep."

"This is too difficult, hey!"

……

The golden sunlight shone into the classroom, and fine dust could be seen flying leisurely. When someone approached, their flying range would be larger, as if a dance music had reached its climax.

Lin Sumeng poked half of her head in cautiously, and saw Ye Chen who happened to be looking out the door, and an excited and shy smile appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

In the noon classrooms of other high school classes, there are always many people studying by themselves, but the classrooms of class five are empty, most of the people are not in the classroom, and among the few people who are there, only Ye Chen and Shen Huijuan are in the classroom. When doing homework, other people are either sleeping, reading extracurricular books, or simply holding their chins in a daze.

Lin Sumeng looked around nervously, then sneaked in like a thief, and put an aluminum lunch box with a bumpy lid on Ye Chen's table.

"Uh... what's wrong?"

"It's the Shaqima I made myself."

"I made it myself? It's so amazing!" Ye Chen bumped into Wan Qing who was sleeping on the table next to her with his arm, and said, "Hey, Wan Qing, look at this guy. Their craftsmanship is so good, can you learn more? .”

"Shut up and you just... Do I cook less often? If you think my cooking is not delicious, you can do it yourself."

"Tch, why do you have to know how to cook to judge whether it's delicious or not..."

Lin Sumeng's face was blushing, and she looked at the two with her eyes wide open. When she found that both of them were looking at him, she lowered her head in a panic: "Well, that, that... Let's eat together ? It would be nice if there was milk, but it’s also good to drink with tea.”

"Okay...uh, what's the matter?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"It's nothing... just, let's eat something together to enhance our relationship?" Lin Sumeng said very directly, but her tone was very embarrassed, "Well... just, I just want to be friends with you, um... ..."

"oh oh……"

"Then, do you want to go out to play this weekend?"

"This weekend?" Ye Chen blinked curiously, "It's almost the exam, do you still want to go out to play?"

"I want to relax, how about going to Huagang to watch the fish and feed the carp, is it a good omen?"

"Ah, to West Lake? There is an entrance fee."

In this era, the West Lake still needs tickets, and the fee is divided into sections. If you go to a certain area, you have to buy a new ticket. If you want to visit the whole area, you may have to spend a lot of money.

"Can we just go to Huagang to watch the fish?"

"It's okay... right?"

"Go ahead." Wan Qing had already picked up a piece of Shaqi Ma and started to eat, "Mmm - it's so sweet."

"Hey, did you put too much sugar? But I think... it's better if it's sweeter."

"Ugh, it's just sweeter for me."

Wan Qing came back from the future. At that time, people’s diet was very rich, and they didn’t like to eat such sweet things anymore. All kinds of cakes and so on had deliberately reduced the amount of sugar, so that people would not feel too much after eating. Too boring.

The more poor the material, the more people like to eat high-sugar and high-fat food.

"I think it's okay." Ye Chen carefully picked up a piece, put it to his mouth and took a bite, "Mmm...it's delicious, not greasy at all!"

"Really? Great...this is only the second time I've done it."

"It's amazing, how did you do it, are the tools so complete?"

Lin Sumeng smiled proudly and embarrassedly: "My family owns a cake shop."

In this era, opening a cake shop is equivalent to opening a 'luxury' shop, because all kinds of western pastries are not cheap for people of this era.

Moreover, the profit of the cake shop is very high. In this era, it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

The family owns a cake shop, which basically means that the family has entered a wealthy and well-off life.

"Ah, cake shop..." Ye Chen looked envious, "Can I eat all kinds of cakes and snacks every day?"

"Okay, but after getting used to it, I don't have much interest. I don't want to eat anything when I stay in the store. At most, I'm interested in what I made by myself." Lin Sumeng covered her mouth and smiled softly. "What kind of cake or dessert do you like to eat? I can make some and take it with me before going out to play."

"As long as it's cake or dessert, I basically like it!" Ye Chen's eyes began to light up.

Wan Qing joked from the side: "This guy likes to eat sweet things, he likes to eat all kinds of sweet things."

"Hmm... almost..." Ye Chen scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, "Just bring a little, don't bring too much, or it will be a waste of money."

"It's okay, in fact, the cost of raw materials is not high, it's just expensive." Lin Sumeng waved his hand lightly, "Actually, I sometimes wonder why so many people buy it when it's so expensive. .”

"After all, craftsmanship itself is also very valuable."

"In that case, yes..."

"Speaking of which, roughly how much profit is it?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"From what I know, the most profitable ones can be tenfold..."

"That's an exaggeration." Ye Chen looked at Wan Qing, "Why don't we open a cake shop in the future!"

"What are you thinking, do you really think it's that simple?"

"Ah, I really want to make cakes for myself every day..."

"Don't worry—I guarantee that you will get tired of eating it within a month." Wan Qing lowered her eyelids, "The reason why some things taste delicious and unforgettable is often because they are so rare that they can be eaten once..."

Z. Time Observation

The episodes of the Z series are memory fragments, which have been forgotten in the main story.

There is usually a narrator who tells the 'setting' in the Z series, but don't take everything the narrator says.

========

Just when Wan Qing and Ye Chen knocked on the door, the boundless thick fog suddenly rushed in, enveloping them both.

All around was plunged into absolute darkness.

Ye Chen looked up in a panic and called out Wan Qing's name: "Wan Qing, Wan Qing! How are you?"

"Don't make a fuss..." Wan Qing's tone was calm, "It's so dark now that I can't see anything, so stretch out your hand."

"You, where are you?"

"You idiot, didn't I just stand on your left?"

"Huh... caught it."

"Well, these thick fogs can't disperse at all."

"Could it be that we were attacked by the 'automatic defense mechanism' because we interfered with the time?"

"Is it okay to read less science fiction, the natural world is so amazing, this is obviously a means of 'human'."

The next second, the two of them suddenly felt that the floor under their feet was being sucked away, and they fell down quickly.

Caught off guard, Ye Chen screamed loudly, like a little girl being pushed into a haunted house.

"Fuck!" Even Wan Qing yelled in panic.

The few seconds of falling felt extraordinarily long.

"Puff--!"

Afterwards, the two of them felt as if they had fallen into the icy cold water. They drank several sips 'gurgling'. They wanted to cough but couldn't choke. The feeling of lack of oxygen was suffocating.

Death seemed to be beckoning to them already.

But in the next second, as if they fell out of a large ball of water, the two were able to breathe fresh air again.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Cough!! Ha... Huh..."

The dark world became bright again.

Ye Chen supported his knees with his hands, panting heavily, dripping wet water droplets from his body.

Wan Qing shook her head vigorously and looked forward.

This is a space like an abandoned warehouse. The walls are not even painted with white paint, and the rough cement can be seen directly.

Fluorescent lights hang from the high ceilings, and even though they illuminate the entire warehouse, they feel extremely cold.

Suddenly, Wan Qing felt that someone was watching her, she turned around abruptly, and saw behind her a large mess of instruments, some of which looked familiar, while others seemed to be put together from scrap iron the same.

Wires are also connected everywhere, forming a sharp contrast with the emptiness and silence on the other side.

A girl as delicate as a porcelain doll was standing not far away, looking at the two expressionlessly.

What surprised Wan Qing was that she recognized her.

——That's right, the girl who scared everyone out of their wits during the cave exploration last time.

At that time, I thought it was a ghost, but after I ran out, I realized that it was actually a living person...

And she standing here now seems to prove that she is not as simple as Wan Qing imagined.

"You are..." Her name popped up in Wan Qing's mind, "Tai Yin?"

She nodded slightly, with no expression on her face.

"Where is this? Why are we here? Who are you?"

"Cough..." Ye Chen finally spit out the water she drank into her mouth. She took a deep breath and turned around, "Hey...it's her."

"Well, maybe all the time loops are related to her..."

The expressionless girl nodded slightly towards them, then turned around and walked a few steps, then turned her head to look at them again.

"What... what does she mean?" Ye Chen twisted his hair in doubt, and squeezed out another big puddle of water.

"Idiot, let us go with her."

"Oh...Speaking of it, this place is so messy, it feels like a pile of discarded parts, but those buttons and screens are still on..."

"It seems to be still working." Wan Qing nodded slightly.

The two followed the girl all the way forward, and stopped in front of an ordinary desk.

She sat on the broken office chair whose wheels had been removed, picked up a pen, lowered her head and wrote a few words on the paper with a rustle.

"I'm an artificial intelligence with automatic maintenance, model Taiyin, factory serial number 02α."

It seemed that this was not the girl they met before.

But according to the information she gave, the person I met before might also be the same type of artificial intelligence...

"Why did we come here?" Wan Qing sneezed, frowning and asked.
