Half an hour later, Zhen Yu stared at the magic crystal ball in her hand, lost in thought! It’s funny to say, but she traded a spare sanitary pad from her space for it!
Because Dinsion 3 is an ancient foreign dinsion! Moreover, it’s an Otherworld Continent! There, almost everyone can perform magic! So after they introduced themselves to each other, it seed there was nothing Zhen Yu could offer in return, and it took a long conversation before they finally made this first trade.
The crystal ball wasn’t much use either, containing only the most basic spell of Small Magic. It could be displayed for viewing, or could be thrown out, and it was said that upon shattering on the ground, it could create a small area of rainfall.
Zhen Yu traded for it just to confirm whether the magic ntioned by the other party really existed!
So, after marveling at its novelty, she began pondering where to use it!
In the end, Zhen Yu chose to use it in the toilet of her hotel room...
After experiencing a light drizzle that lasted less than three seconds, Zhen Yu, while drying her hair with a towel, started chatting with Xiao Liu.
"You tell ! What use is Dinsion 3 to ? To muddle around with sanitary pads? I’m not short on ways to make money..."
[...Well, it’s still magic, there ought to be so use for it...]
Zhen Yu fell silent for a mont, then said dispiritedly: "I’ve been keeping a low profile all this ti just to avoid being caught and sliced up for study!"
[...]
Sorry to have bothered you!
Zhen Yu fell silent, and so did the Little White Snake, as it had also understood what Sarah had said.
Light Magic, not only unique to the Church Court, wasn’t omnipotent! The common human experiences of birth, aging, sickness, and death were not prevented by it.
With Zhen Yan’s company, Zhen Yu ran through various malls for three consecutive days!
Finally, after several rounds of shopping, the small house near Beijing University was made to look like a true ho.
It was just lacking in liveliness, that’s all.
That afternoon, after the last piece of furniture was finally brought in, the siblings who had dismissed the delivery people, collapsed onto the just-delivered, yet-to-be-unpacked sofa, each letting out a long breath.
"Finally done!" Zhen Yan said with a face full of relief and asked his sister, "Do we need to clean?"
"No need." Zhen Yu shook her head slightly, "I’m not living here now!"
"Exactly! Clean up when you co to live here!" Zhen Yan expressed his strong agreent then suddenly exclaid, "But you’ve been really busy this trip to the Capital! Tell ! Is there anything else your brother can help you with?"
"Nothing else! Just make sure you take care of the things I’ve asked you to do!" Zhen Yu was multitasking, answering her brother while thinking about signing matters with authors.
"...Little sister, you still have to stay here for three or four more days, won’t you go and see our mom?" After hesitating for a while, Zhen Yan still brought up Mrs. Zhen.
Zhen Yu quietly shook her head, thought for a bit, and decided to tell the truth: "I’ve already seen her!"
"When?" Zhen Yan was extrely surprised. "How co I don’t know about this? If you two t,"
Before Zhen Yan could finish, Zhen Yu cut him off and explained seriously: "Not t! She didn’t recognize !"
"...What happened?"
"It just happened that I bumped into her while looking for the hotel." After pausing for a mont, Zhen Yu added another sentence!
"She seems to be doing quite well."
——
After pondering on his sister’s last words for a mont, Zhen Yan understood that there was more to what she said.
It probably ant—since everyone is doing well, there’s no need to bother each other!
Zhen Yan thought about it and it seed to be the case indeed!
So, he gave up on trying to persuade her further and instead asked about Zhen Yu’s plans for the coming days.
"So, what are you planning to do in the next few days?"
"I’ve partnered with Bai Xue’s family to open a clothing store! So, I plan to go to the wholesale market to check out so fabrics and accessories for these few days! Besides, it’s not often that I co to the Capital, I should bring back so small gifts for my friends as well."
"Then,"
Zhen Yu, understanding that her brother was busy, took the initiative and said: "You don’t need to accompany shopping! You and Zhang San should be busy with your things! I promise that the computers will be in place in the next few days!"
"Ha! That’s what I was waiting to hear! But little sister, you must be careful when you are out shopping! Don’t lose yourself! With your sense of direction, you probably can’t tell north from south right now!"
You’re asking about it even though you know it! Zhen Yu clamped her mouth shut and rolled her eyes at her brother!
"Hahaha..." Laughing, Zhen Yan put his arm around his sister’s shoulder and teased: "What’s wrong? Can’t people talk about your flaws?"
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yu suddenly said in a very serious and earnest tone, "I have a compass."
At that, Zhen Yan could no longer hold back and burst out laughing, pounding on the sofa.
Zhen Yu watched him, truly puzzled! She didn’t understand what was so funny...
——
Zhen Yu stayed in the Capital for a total of six nights because her return flight was scheduled for the early morning of the seventh day!
So, on the evening of the fifth day, she spent a long ti alone in her hotel room, and, after all that, she still called back Editor Huang, agreeing to go to the publishing house to sign the contract the next morning.
After the contract signing, Editor Huang discussed with Zhen Yu the publishing house’s subsequent arrangents for her book releases.
"Your writing style is actually quite neutral! But the font package we previously signed for was mainly targeted towards a female audience. So, after seeing the sales performance of that font package, the company has decided to create another set that is more gender-neutral! As for the specifics, we haven’t figured it out yet, we’ll discuss it over the phone later!"
"Sure!"
After leaving the publishing house, Zhen Yu went straight to the Beijing University house. She called the truck that she had arranged early in the morning and got all the computers stored there moved to the internet cafe!
Then, in the early morning of the seventh day, she took a taxi to the airport by herself to catch a return flight.
When she left, she specifically took two large pieces of luggage for check-in, as a blind for her return to Qi City.
No one in the Capital was notified when she arrived, and she didn’t tell anyone in Qi City when she returned either!
It was only during dinner the night before that she told Zhen Yan and Zhang San, asking them not to see her off.
Upon leaving Qi City Airport, Zhen Yu caught a taxi and went straight to the Qi University clothing store.
Mrs. Bai happened to be there in the store! She was alone, holding a bamboo pole, hanging empty clothing racks onto the wire sh on the wall.
"Aunt Fu, what are you doing?" Zhen Yu looked at the half-wall of empty clothing racks, feeling a bit overwheld.
"Oh! Xiao Yu! Have you returned from the Capital?" Mrs. Bai turned her head, saw Zhen Yu, smiled and greeted her before explaining, "I was just idly trying to estimate by eye, to see how far apart to hang the racks to make it look right!"
