Chapter 512: You and Your Sister-in-law!!?

Chen Shu straightened up to observe this world.

Nearby were houses of no more than five or six stories, high-rises in the distance, new energy vehicles running all over the road, and occasionally, flying cars passing overhead; they were all low-speed flying cars powered by propellers, looking like oversized drones.

In the air, there was only pure, natural Spirit Power, with no Spirit Power fluctuations or radiation that would indicate any civilization.

This was undoubtedly a completely different world.

Chen Shu took a deep breath of the air, sensing its complex flavors.

A cold, clear voice came from beside him: "Is this your world?"

"It is the world I came from."

"Where to next?"

"Let's stay here for a few days first. It wouldn't be good to disappear right after returning. We'll stay a couple more days to let the Station Master know our personalities and put him at ease."

"Are you not going to visit your hometown?"

"In a few days."

"Hmm..."

Chen Shu saw Ning Qing fixing her gaze on the flowers in a flower box and couldn't help but smile, saying to her: "I remember that in this world, in this country, this city is called Chuncheng, meaning 'spring all year round,' and it's also called Huacheng."

"It's very similar to Bai City."

"Yes, very similar."

"What do you want to say?"

"There are many varieties of flowers here. When we leave, let's buy some that don't exist in our world to take back."

"That's fine."

Chen Shu took Qingqing's hand to give her a sense of security, pulled her to turn around, and at the same time looked up—

This hotel was called Anju Binguan.

It suddenly made him feel a bit familiar.

"What's wrong?"

Ning Qing noticed his confusion.

"Nothing..." Chen Shu shook his head, "I just feel like I've heard the name of this hotel before; perhaps I've seen one with the same name."

At this moment, a voice came from behind:

"We used to be located in Jinguan and were popular on the internet for a while; maybe you scrolled past it."

Chen Shu turned his head at the sound.

It was the young lady at the hotel front desk, a girl who looked very fair and delicate. Seeing him look over, she gave a subtle smile, which was very cute.

Chen Shu smiled back at her.

If that was the case, perhaps he really had seen something about this name on the internet in his past life.

He couldn't remember clearly now, and there was no need to investigate.

"Your room card."

The young lady at the front desk handed over a room card and reminded him: "The boss said you can stay as long as you like."

"Thank you."

Only then did Chen Shu take Qingqing upstairs.

The Station Master had given them a room facing the street on the third floor, which was antique in style. As soon as one pushed open the window, one could see the street below, and at the same time, there were no high-rises blocking the view in front, allowing one to see quite far.

Chen Shu lay down on the bed in a spread-eagled position.

Ning Qing sat silently beside him, observing the room.

"Everything is electric, isn't it amazing?" Chen Shu turned his head to glance at her, pointing at various things in the room, "Television, light bulbs, hair dryer; everything has to be connected to a circuit to work. That white little square with holes is a power strip, and even mobile phones must be plugged in to charge."

"It's alright..."

Ning Qing was not particularly surprised.

Because in Dayi Shijie, although there was Spirit Power, it didn't mean that having Spirit Power meant one couldn't use electricity; it just meant there were more choices.

In fact, using electricity in Dayi Shijie was still a very common thing; for example, computers, mobile phones, and televisions all used electricity, just without wires. Energy existed most of the time in the form of Spirit Power and was converted into electricity when used, just like a fan converts Spirit Power into wind, or a water heater converts Spirit Power into heat.

Ning Qing simply closed her eyes.

However, the movement of the bed proved the restlessness of the person beside her; she soon sensed that he had moved close to her, very close.

Then his voice sounded:

"What are you doing?"

"Feeling the laws of this strange universe." Ning Qing still kept her eyes closed.

"You are so serious."

"..."

"Oh!!"

He said it deliberately heavily, as if dissatisfied that she was ignoring him.

Immediately after came the sound of footsteps on the floor.

The sound of a window being pushed open.

Ning Qing opened her eyes and saw that he had pushed open the window—it was a wooden outward-opening window—and he was leaning over the window frame, sticking his head out to look at the world outside.

Even from his back, she could see his excitement and anticipation.

This person was not unaccustomed to anything; he acted very naturally, just as if he had returned to Bai City from Yujing.

Ning Qing pursed her lips and continued to close her eyes.

The world downstairs was familiar and bustling.

Chen Shu saw Station Master and Yaoyao leave from downstairs, cross the street, and go to the bakery diagonally opposite. The owner of the bakery was a woman, and there was also a waitress whose face had been disguised; they seemed very familiar with Station Master, and in the end, Station Master took some cakes without paying.

When leaving, Yaoyao turned her head to look behind her, and finding no one was watching, she quietly reached out to grab Station Master's arm.

Station Master turned his head and glared at her.

She suddenly let go of her hand, put it behind her back, and smiled sweetly and generously.

Chen Shu could not help but reveal a smile as well.

It seems to be a very green love...

Before long, a knock on the door sounded.

"Knock, knock..."

Chen Shu opened the door to look.

Standing outside the door was Yaoyao; she was holding a tray with several exquisite and beautiful cakes on it, and she smiled at him and said, "Big shot, I don't know if you all might be hungry, or if you are hungry yet, so I prepared some cakes and fruit for you. The cakes were made by my older sister; the taste is passable, have a try."

"That is your older sister?"

"Which one?"

"The female owner of the bakery."

"Yes, my half-sister."

"Thank you both."

After Chen Shu took the tray, she reached into her pocket again and took out two Mobile Phones: "And Mobile Phones, there's no need to teach you how to use them, right?"

"Is there a big difference from the smartphones of the past?"

"They are still smartphones now; there is a difference, but it doesn't count as big, it's about the same."

"Then there is no need."

"Okay, there is WeChat and Alipay on the Mobile Phones, and there is money inside. Our handsome boss said you can use them as you please. Also, if you need identification in the future, you can also find us to help you handle it."

"Many thanks."

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

At the same time, another voice came from beside the corridor:

"Courtesy demands reciprocity!"

A very bold tone, with a sense of the pugilistic world.

Chen Shu leaned out slightly to look; it was that Nüxia, wearing a cleaning uniform, who was cleaning the room next door. At this moment, she was leaning on a mop, looking at them.

"Then I will respectfully obey..."

"You're cultured!"

"Passable..."

Chen Shu was all smiles, always feeling that this group of people was very interesting.

Immediately after, Yaoyao left.

Chen Shu brought the cakes back and said to Qingqing, "Yaoyao seems to be Station Master's little girlfriend..."

"Probably."

"Do you want to eat cake? It seems there is a lemon blueberry flavored one."

"I'll eat."

Ning Qing opened her eyes.

It was cut into a small piece of lemon blueberry yogurt cake, contained in a transparent fan-shaped plastic box; the cross-section had visible lemon and blueberry, and it was topped with a very small sprig of rosemary, looking very beautiful.

Chen Shu then picked up the Mobile Phone.

At this moment, it was actually December, it was winter, but the weather here showed no signs of winter at all, just like in Yuanzhou.

The Mobile Phones of this era were still the same, much of a muchness, only the bezels and cameras had been eliminated, becoming a bit smoother, still without any qualitative change. However, there were some novel software on the Mobile Phones, and those familiar software often changed their appearance, but most were just changing their clothes.

Chen Shu fiddled with it, and only then did he suddenly come back to his senses, inevitably feeling a sense of unreality—

Oh! Really back!

It was like having a dream.

And thinking about going back to the place where he had lived once before to take a look, he felt even more that it was already so far away, inexplicably having a sense of timidity; wanting to go yet not wanting to go, wanting to see yet not wanting to see, his heart was in a state of contradiction for a moment.

Just at this time, Ning Qing glanced at him faintly:

"Consider it a dream."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu immediately revealed a smile.

Qingqing is still thoughtful.

In the following few days, Chen Shu continued to stay here, at most just strolling around in this city, introducing this world to Qingqing, taking her everywhere to eat delicious food, and at the same time using this period to slowly pick up the memories of his past life, preparing himself mentally to go home and take a look.

Sometimes he would chat a few words with the people at the hotel.

This was a process of getting to know each other.

Chen Shu gradually got to know everyone here, including Tang Laoban of the bakery diagonally opposite, and the female transmigrator who worked at the bakery because she was too good-looking and had once been a celebrity, forcing her to hide her face.

Until a few days later.

Chen Shu and Qingqing found Station Master and said, "I want to go back to the place where I lived before to take a look."

"It should be done."

"Many thanks."

"Where to go first?"

"First go to... Jinguan."

"Where will you settle down in the future?"

"I won't be settling down here." Chen Shu saw the surprised expression on the Station Master's face and smiled, "I already belong there; I only came back to take a look, and incidentally to bring back the ashes of Shengzu and his long-cherished wish. After that, I have to go back. Besides, our world has encountered a fatal crisis; it needs us."

"What kind of crisis?"

"It's just that..."

Chen Shu gave him a rough explanation.

After listening, the Station Master's mood seemed to become a bit heavier: "Then... I wish you good luck."

"I hope so."

Just at this moment, a shout came from below—

"Brother-in-law..."

It sounded like the voice of Miss Yaoyao.

At the same time, the Station Master turned his head instinctively.

Chen Shu was quite sensitive to this form of address and was stunned on the spot.

"???"

What? Brother-in-law?

At the same time, Qingqing also frowned.

They saw Miss Yaoyao run up from downstairs. Seeing the two of them, she smiled before saying to the Station Master: "Cheng Yun, give me your car keys to use; I need to go haul some goods for Tang Qingyan..."

The Station Master gave her the keys.

When he withdrew his gaze, he noticed that both of them were acting a bit strange and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"You... you all..."

"Huh?"

"Brother-in-law?"

"Uh, yes, Yaoyao is my sister-in-law."

"Then you two..."

"Sigh..."

The Station Master sighed: "I've let you see something embarrassing, Your Excellency. Forget it, forget it, don't mind these details."

"You, you, you..."

Chen Shu pointed at him with a trembling hand, unable to believe it.

You and your sister-in-law!!?

"Embarrassing, embarrassing..."

"Emmm..."

Chen Shu quickly calmed down; since they were on someone else's turf, it was better to be a bit more restrained, so he cast it to the back of his mind, though his expression was still somewhat pained: "Then we shall check out and leave now. However, we will definitely come back later. At that time, if the Station Master has any questions about the Plane Origin, you can ask me."

"Safe travels, Your Excellency."

"Goodbye."

Chen Shu led Qingqing downstairs.

Qingqing kept staring at him coldly.

This made Chen Shu feel very baffled—

I'm not the one who did such a thing, why are you staring at me? I've always looked at my sister-in-law like a daughter, okay? This kind of thing isn't just something you can't understand; I can't understand it either!
