736: Chapter 736: Arriving in a Completely New World 736: Chapter 736: Arriving in a Completely New World After time traveling, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Fan and Qian Ye quickly left the secret research base.
They took a car, then a ship back to the city.
Qian Ye was astounded by the sheer size of the ship.
While at sea, Qian Ye heard a rumbling noise.
Looking up, she gasped, “What kind of bird is that?
It’s huge and flies so high.”
The people around them laughed heartily upon hearing this, leaving Qian Ye embarrassed.
Upon Gu Fan’s explanation, Qian Ye finally realized it wasn’t a big bird, but an airplane, a transportation device that could carry people into the sky.
Qian Ye was dumbstruck.
She hadn’t expected development in the future to be so rapid, enabling humans to fly without magic.
They had no choice but to stay in the cabin to avoid creating more laughing stock and suspicion.
Gu Fan began explaining modern things to Qian Ye to help her understand the new world.
They also agreed that if Qian Ye couldn’t grasp enough information, she couldn’t leave Gu Fan’s side.
Qian Ye agreed with this, hoping to understand this world faster.
Having Gu Fan to help was the best.
To better comprehend this world, the first thing to do was to be proficient with a mobile phone.
Gu Fan used the time on the ship to guide her on how to use the phone, how to dial numbers, send and receive messages, watch videos, read maps, and understand what the world was like, among other things.
She spent quite a long time learning how to use a phone.
But Qian Ye was a fast learner, mastering the basics during the journey and posting her first status update in Moments (Wechat) under the name Lin Xi.
Qian Ye’s post was roughly this: “Arriving in a completely new world, I face new challenges, but I believe I can.”
Gu Fan stopped her immediately.
That was giving the game away, wasn’t it?
He strictly asked Qian Ye to let him proofread before she posted anything else.
Obviously unhappy with being reprimanded, Qian Ye bit her tongue.
With Gu Fan as her teacher and her dependent on him to adapt to this world, she had to tolerate it.
However, it was hard for Qian Ye to swallow her pride.
She began to taunt Gu Fan, “Is Lin Xi really my reincarnation?
You give me no special feeling, why did Lin Xi choose you?”
“Listen, Qian Ye, everything here is new to you.
We do not have an empress here.
If someone declares themselves as an emperor or empress, we will overthrow them.
You are Lin Xi, and Lin Xi is an ordinary person.
Do you understand what I mean?” Although Gu Fan’s words sounded like a warning, he was actually reminding her not to play the Empress card, which would ruin Lin Xi’s life.
“Okay, okay, I get it.
I’m an ordinary person, but you’re such a petty man, Gu Fan.
I teased you a little, yet you have to retort.” With that, Qian Ye was helpless and sighed.
Seeing Qian Ye’s unwilling attitude, Gu Fan felt a headache coming on.
Qian Ye would probably act impulsively and disobey him as time went on.
In fact, Gu Fan knew very well that Qian Ye let him control her because without him, she wouldn’t know what to do in this unfamiliar world.
So, Gu Fan was considering whether to slow down his guidance on life issues to let Qian Ye adjust more gradually.
As Gu Fan was pondering, he heard Qian Ye exclaim from the restroom, “This is called a flushing toilet, right?
It’s very convenient.
Also, I like these tissues.
Everything in this world is great.”
“As long as you like it!
When you return, I can send you a huge pack of tissues.” Gu Fan joked and didn’t think too much into it.
After disembarking from the ship, Gu Fan and Qian Ye hailed a taxi, on their way home.
It was Qian Ye’s first visit to a modern city.
She was amazed by the majestic skyscrapers that rivaled mountains.
She couldn’t help but exclaim, “My goodness, how did you build such tall buildings?”
The taxi driver was taken aback at first, then treated Qian Ye like a countryside girl who hadn’t seen the world.
“Gu Fan, look at all these shops and people.
This place is bustling.” Qian Ye pointed here and there, overly excited as if she couldn’t control herself.
“Yes, indeed!” Gu Fan could only reply with a wry smile, hoping to get home quickly.
At this time, the taxi driver queried, “Is this your first time in the big city, girl?
Where are you from, the countryside?”
“Countryside?” Qian Ye, a quick-witted person, immediately understood she was being looked down upon and grew angry.
Just as she was about to snap, Gu Fan intervened and said, “Yes, driver, she’s my cousin from the countryside.
It’s her first time in the big city.
The first time I went to an international metropolis, I also acted as amazed as she does now.
It made me realize how different our city is from a real international metropolis.
I was also laughed at.”
Getting the hint, the driver quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to mock, it’s just that she’s the first one I’ve met who even marvels at skyscrapers.
They’re on TV too, aren’t they?”
“Well, I guess seeing it in person is different from watching it on TV.” Gu Fan could only say that, then glanced at Qian Ye, signaling her to stop behaving in ways that would not only cause embarrassment but also give them away.
Qian Ye, once an Empress, felt irked at the reproach and fell silent.
At that point, the taxi driver turned on the music.
The catchy rhythm caught Qian Ye’s attention.
She looked at Gu Fan expectantly, hoping he could explain it to her.
Gu Fan gestured for silence, indicating that Qian Ye should stay quiet and he would explain later.
Qian Ye simply turned her attention to the world outside the car window.
The myriad of new colorful sights kept her attention.
The ride felt more comfortable than any carriage, and it was faster too.
Thus, Qian Ye voiced a sudden thought, “Gu Fan, can you help me buy a car?
Can I take it back?” She winked at Gu Fan after saying that.
Gu Fan was taken aback, then decided to act as if he hadn’t heard.
