Chapter 92 Exchanging Time-Traveling Gifts with My Best Friend in a Dream
In the distant and mysterious Nanzhao Kingdom, the morning light streamed through the window, illuminating Gu Liuli's delicate face. As usual, she finished washing up early and gently lay down on the soft bed. At this moment, her young heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness, for a very special meeting awaited her today.
Gu Liuli closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her restless heart. Time passed second by second, but for her anxious heart, each moment seemed so long. Finally, without realizing it, she felt her consciousness gradually becoming blurred, as if she were being pulled into another world by an invisible force.
When Gu Liuli finally managed to open her eyes again, she was surprised to find herself in an incredibly familiar environment—a beautiful park. This place held so many wonderful memories for her and her best friend. Every blade of grass, every flower, and every leaf in the park seemed unchanged, still so endearing and lovely; the neatly arranged benches and the swings swaying in the breeze also retained their original appearance.
Just then, Gu Liuli's gaze was suddenly drawn to a familiar figure not far away. The figure stood gracefully, radiating an undeniable charm despite simply standing there quietly. Gu Liuli recognized her almost instantly—it was her beloved best friend, Xiaoyan!
"Xiaoyan!" Gu Liuli could no longer contain her surging emotions and shouted excitedly at the top of her lungs. Then, like a joyful little deer, she took off running towards her best friend's direction.
Lost in thought, Xiaoyan was startled by the shout and instinctively turned around. When she saw Gu Liuli running towards her, a delighted smile immediately bloomed on her pretty face. Before Gu Liuli even reached her, Xiaoyan had already opened her arms to greet her.
The next moment, the two long-separated friends embraced tightly, feeling each other's warmth and genuine affection. Tears of joy welled up uncontrollably in their eyes and streamed down their cheeks.
"Liuli, I miss you so much!" Xiaoyan cried. "I miss you too, Xiaoyan. Countless days and nights, I've longed to see you again," Gu Liuli replied, her voice choked with emotion. The two embraced for a long time before slowly letting go.
Hand in hand, they strolled slowly along the winding paths of the park. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling like fine gold dust upon them. A gentle breeze ruffled their hair, bringing a touch of coolness. They didn't speak a word the entire way, but the warmth of their palms bound their hearts together.
As they walked, Xiaoyan finally couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She turned to look at Liuli beside her and asked softly, "Liuli, what was your life like in ancient times? Tell me about it." Upon hearing this, Liuli smiled slightly, her thoughts seemingly transported back to that distant and mysterious era.
Then, she continued recounting her wondrous experience: "Later, I married Xiao Jingchuan, a disabled man suffering from a deadly poison, in place of my stepfather's daughter. But don't worry, I'll be a widow; I've already cured him. So many stories unfolded between us… After that, there were the clashes with those envoys in the imperial court. Every time I think back on it, I feel incredibly tense and excited. Also, I opened a restaurant and a beauty salon, where all sorts of fun things happen!"
"Liuli, you're amazing! I never imagined you could have such a wonderful life in ancient times and make such a great contribution to the Nanzhao Kingdom," Xiaoyan exclaimed sincerely. Gu Liuli shook her head slightly and said, "It wasn't easy along the way, but I never regretted it. It's just that sometimes, I really miss you. I want to go shopping, watch movies, and eat hot pot with you."
Xiaoyan gently patted Gu Liuli's slightly cold hand, tenderly comforting her, "My dear Liuli, I understand. Actually, I miss you just as much as you do every day. But it's okay, look how wonderful it is now. We can even meet in this magical dream. Isn't that a rare kind of luck?" As she spoke, Xiaoyan slowly reached into her pocket and began to feel around.
A moment later, she carefully took out a small, exquisite box, then handed it to Gu Liuli with a smile, saying softly, "This is a little gift I specially prepared for you! Although it's just a small pendant, it contains all my heartfelt feelings for you. I sincerely hope you'll like it!"
Gu Liuli, filled with joy and a touch of curiosity, solemnly accepted the exquisite little box with both hands. When she gently lifted the lid, she was instantly stunned by the sight before her—inside lay a crystal bear, translucent and lifelike. And this adorable bear was none other than her once most beloved cartoon character. In that instant, an overwhelming wave of emotion surged through her, and tears welled in her eyes.
Finally, the scalding tears couldn't be held back and slid down her cheeks. Gu Liuli said in a slightly trembling voice, "Xiaoyan, thank you so much! I absolutely love this gift!" At the same time, she quickly reached into her bosom and took out the jade pendant that she had prepared to give to her best friend, gently placing it in Xiaoyan's warm palm.
Just as the two were exchanging gifts, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by.
The breeze, like an invisible hand, gently caressed their faces and hair. But at that moment, Gu Liuli suddenly felt that everything around her seemed to be a little off, and time seemed to be passing by at an alarming speed.
Her heart tightened, and a thought immediately flashed through her mind: Oh no, this hour with Xiaoyan is about to end!
"Xiaoyan, time is almost up, I can't bear to part with you," Gu Liuli said sadly. Xiaoyan fought back her tears and smiled, saying, "It's okay, Liuli, we'll meet again. Take good care of yourself in ancient times, and be sure to be happy." Gu Liuli nodded firmly, and the two embraced tightly once more.
As a bright light flashed, Gu Liuli felt her body gradually sinking, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly blurry.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in Xiao Jingchuan's room. Looking at the crystal bear in her hand, tears blurred her vision again, but a slight smile played on her lips, because she knew that no matter how far apart they were, the bond between her and her best friend would never change.
