Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Zhou Chenyu sped back to the city and quickly dropped Su Fengnan off at her hotel.

He helped Su Fengnan back to her room, and only after making sure she was settled did he go downstairs and drive away.

It was a tiring day. Su Fengnan had just lain down on the bed when the door was pushed open, and Su Fengxia walked in carrying two bowls of cold noodles.

Seeing her sister on the bed, Su Fengxia threw her bag on the ground and exclaimed with delight, "Sister, you're back? Do you want some cold noodles? I bought an extra bowl."

After saying that, she sat down at the table and began to eat by herself.

Su Fengnan was also hungry, so she got up and sat down, casually asking, "Where did you go with Yanzi today? Did you have enough money?"

"I went to the amusement park and played a lot of rides," Su Fengxia answered indistinctly while eating.

"Is it fun?"

"It's alright, but there are just too many people, and the queues take forever."

"Ah...it's so spicy..." Su Fengxia was so spicy after only a few bites that she quickly got up to find water.

"I have some in my bag. I put it in this morning. I haven't drunk any today. Take it yourself." Su Fengnan pointed to the location of her bag.

Su Fengxia walked to the bedside table, rummaged through her bag for water, and gulped down several mouthfuls. After finishing the water, she turned to Su Fengnan and said, "Sister, you'd better not eat anymore, it's too spicy. Let's rest for a while before going out to eat."

Su Fengnan took a bite and found it to be very spicy. Moreover, because of the injury on the sole of her foot, it ached slightly after sitting for a long time.

"What would you like to eat later?"

Su Fengxia thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "I saw a Sichuan hot pot restaurant at the bus stop near where we got off. It looks newly opened and they have discounts. Why don't we go eat there? I've never had hot pot before."

Since her rebirth, Su Fengnan hadn't eaten this before, and she was actually quite craving it. Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

"Alright then, I'll call Hai-ge and Yan-zi to come over and eat with us." Su Fengnan took out her mobile phone to make the call.

"Sister Yanzi went back to change her clothes, and she'll come over after she's changed," Su Fengxia added.

"Um."

Su Fengnan called them over because she had some things to discuss with them. She was going back to class after the National Day holiday and really didn't have time to deal with all this.

At 7 p.m., the four siblings met at a hot pot restaurant. At that time, the restaurant was only half full. Compared to people in Sichuan and Chongqing, people in Zhucheng don't really like this kind of hot pot that is heavy on oil and spice. Zhucheng has its own unique style, and the taste is also very good.

After the four sat down, none of them really knew how to order. Su Fengnan took the menu, asked about everyone's preferences, and then ordered more than ten dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, with some meat dishes even ordered twice. They were all at an age where they loved to eat and had a sweet tooth, so Su Fengnan didn't feel any reluctance; the most important thing was that everyone enjoyed the meal.

"What would you like to drink?" Su Fengnan handed the menu to the waiter.

"I want soy milk," Yanzi said.

"Nutritional Express," Su Fengxia replied.

"I want an iced cola," Hai Ge said.

Su Fengnan looked at the waiter and said, "Then bring me two bottles of soy milk, one bottle of nutritional drink, and one bottle of cola."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

While the waiter was preparing the hot pot base and side dishes, Su Fengnan took Yanzi and Su Fengxia to the dipping sauce area, while Hai Ge sat down to watch the bags for his sisters.

A row of condiments was neatly arranged. Su Fengnan took an empty bowl and poured half a bowl of sesame oil into it.

Su Fengxia stared in astonishment at the half-bowl of sesame oil: "Sister, isn't this too oily with so much sesame oil?"

"No, you can add whatever you want to the sesame oil." Su Fengnan mixed her own dipping sauce while also mixing one for Hai Ge. "I've mixed Hai Ge's too, you guys have to adjust it to your own taste."

Seeing this, Yanzi and Su Fengxia also prepared the dipping sauce in the same way as Su Fengnan.

Soon, the broth and side dishes were all served. After the broth boiled, Su Fengnan put some of the meat in to cook first: "The meat needs to be cooked for a while before eating, otherwise it will cause diarrhea."

"Um... my mouth is watering," Su Fengxia said lazily, staring at the pot.

"Don't rush, haste makes waste." After saying that, Su Fengnan turned to Hai Ge, "By the way, Hai Ge, how's it going on your end?"

Hai Ge was also looking forward to it, and said in a low voice, "I mentioned it to the boss today, and I estimate that I can resign after finding a new cake decorator in a few days."

"Okay. The renovation will start on the 4th. Yanzi, please keep an eye on things a little. I've already explained everything that needs to be bought to the designer, and the money has been paid. We just need to wait for the inspection."

"I did some research on the equipment and tools I need at the market yesterday, and I'll give the approximate cost to Hai Ge tomorrow. Hai Ge, give me your bank account number first, and then I'll trouble you to buy these equipment and tools. You're more familiar with this kind of thing."

Su Fenghai nodded hurriedly, "Okay." He took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out his bank card, and handed it to Su Fengnan. Su Fengnan saved the card number on her mobile phone and then returned it to him.

"Wow, it should be ready to eat now! Let's dig in!" Su Fengxia couldn't wait any longer.

"Then let's eat." Su Fengnan also picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"Ah, it's so hot..." Su Fengxia had just taken a bite when she was burned and put down her chopsticks, quickly drinking a sip of nutritional drink.

"Are you alright?" Yanzi asked with concern.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Su Fengxia waved her hand.

The meal ended happily amidst the laughter and chatter of the sisters. The matters that Su Fengnan wanted to discuss had already been settled with Hai Ge and Yanzi during the meal.

After dinner, Hai Ge and Yan Zi returned to their respective residences, and Su Fengnan and her sister also returned to their hotel with peace of mind.

But all this walking seems to have made the injury on my foot even more painful. I endured the pain to walk to the hot pot restaurant, and now I'm enduring it to walk back to the hotel. I guess the wound is getting infected because it's being covered by my shoes.

After her younger sister Su Fengxia fell asleep, Su Fengnan flashed into her spatial dimension. She not only drank the spiritual spring water but also used it to wash her wounds. Instantly, a refreshing feeling spread throughout her body, and the pain in her feet lessened considerably.

Upon entering the space again, Su Fengnan noticed further changes. It was brighter inside, the area containing the spiritual spring water was larger, and the view was farther. The previous two times the light wasn't as bright, mainly because of the ice-blue flowers. Now, the light seemed to come from nowhere, and it had become bright without her noticing.

Su Fengnan returned to the tea room and casually pulled a book from the bookshelf to browse through. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an old martial arts manual.

These martial arts techniques were of little use to her, but on second thought, it wouldn't hurt to learn a few moves for self-defense.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finished reading the entire manual. In an instant, countless techniques, mental methods, and images of fist and foot techniques flooded into her mind. The dense barrage of moves made her head throb with pain, and her consciousness sank, causing her to faint.

In the midst of a deep sleep, a nightmare suddenly struck.

In her dream, flames raged, and Zhou Chenyu was trapped in the inferno, her hands tightly bound. No matter how desperately she screamed, there was no response. Several figures in black were lurking in the shadows, about to lock the door shut, determined to engulf her in the flames.

A sudden tightness gripped her heart, and fear instantly seized her mind. Ignoring the raging flames, Su Fengnan rushed forward recklessly, but tripped and fell heavily to the ground—

Suddenly, she woke up with a start.
