Chapter 340 How am I doing?

Ma Lu seemed to understand Ma Youyou's meaning this time, "You mean, you are not from the thread I am in."

"Exactly, that's what I mean." Ma Youyou snapped her fingers, "Impressive, boss... I mean, Old Wang, you've got it in one."

Ma Lu, "So, you need to find your own thread to be able to go home?"

"It's sort of like that, it's not easy, in fact, it's pretty much like finding a needle in a haystack, because there are just too many threads."

"Well... since you are also a native of this plane, how did you become a Time Traveler?"

"It was an accident." Ma Youyou switched the plastic bag to her other hand, then pushed up her glasses, "I stumbled upon something I shouldn't have during my high school summer vacation, and that's how I became a Time Traveler."

Seeing that she was having a hard time carrying it, Ma Lu voluntarily reached out and took the two large bags from her hands.

"High school? That's really quite early. Before I graduated from college, I always thought this was just an ordinary world, but now... I'm just curious how the Multiverse has managed to last so long without being destroyed."

"Chaos has its own balance," Ma Youyou said.

Ma Lu raised his eyebrows, "Who told you that, it sounds pretty philosophical."@@@@

"My brother."

"Wait, is your brother also a Time Traveler?"

"No no no, he's not, he's just a regular person..." Ma Youyou paused, "But he's anything but ordinary; he's always dealing with all sorts of crazy and bizarre people and things, and most amazingly, he always finds fun in it. I just can't, I actually don't like when unexpected things happen."

As Ma Youyou spoke, she stopped walking. Ma Lu followed her gaze and noticed a milk tea shop.

"Do you want some?"

"No thanks, I've already bought a lot of stuff and spent quite a bit of money. I need to save the rest for rent."

"Don't worry, it's on me," Ma Lu said, "What will you have?"

"Taro milk tea with boba, 30% sugar, thank you, boss."

When Ma Lu came back with the milk tea, Ma Youyou took a small jar out of another bag and handed it to him, "I came quite suddenly and didn't bring much with me, so this is a little thank you gift."

Ma Lu took a look, "Wahaha Eight-Treasure Congee, huh? I used to like this when I was a kid, and it's been a long time since I had it last. Thanks."

The landlord was so pleased that he raised the rent by 500, but even then, it remained vacant for over a month without finding a tenant.

Learning that someone was willing to take over, he readily agreed.

However, since it had been vacant for a while, the three of them still spent some time cleaning up.

Ma Lu said to Ma Youyou, "You should rest early. I will call you before going to work tomorrow. You can ride with me then."

"Thanks, boss," Ma Youyou expressed her gratitude.

After finishing speaking, Ma Lu was ready to leave but then paused in his steps, suddenly asking, "Do we know each other in your plane?"

"Why... why do you ask?" Ma Youyou's heart raced, but she still tried to stay calm.

"How did you find my shop? I can understand that by going back to the past, you learned about Old Wang, Yan Wu, as well as Liliem from me.

"But how did you know to come to my shop for work after you found out you were not on your own timeline? Especially since I had only just posted the job advertisement not long ago, unless... in your plane, we already knew each other."

"Um..." Ma Youyou did not directly answer the question, but her reaction at the moment had already explained everything.

Ma Lu didn't delve deeper into their relationship, just curiously asked, "In your world, do I also run a shop? How am I doing?"

"According to the rules of time travel, I shouldn't be discussing these things with you."

"Time travel rules? Who made those up?"

"Me and my brother."

"So there aren't really any time travel rules."

"No, no, no, anything related to time must be handled with extreme caution. What's happened to me is a warning from the past."

"Alright. I'll just ask something general, am I rich?"

Ma Youyou nodded.

"Then am I married?"

"Err... that's a difficult question to answer. When I left, legally speaking, you were indeed single."
