Chapter 1: The Handsome and Mysterious Transfer Student

  Today was a very ordinary day for Rosalie because the supplementary lesson on weekends was cancelled, so Rosalie didn't feel tired going to school on Monday morning.

  There was no morning reading in the early self-study, Luosiqi arrived at school at 7:40. She simply tidied up and put her history book on the table. As a second-year high school liberal arts student, she still liked history very much.

  Luosiqi's academic performance is about average to above average, but her politics score is slightly lower, and math isn't great either. However, she excels in history and geography. Her teacher says that once she can pass the math exam, she'll be closer to getting into a top-tier university.

  If there's anything different about today compared to before, it's the transfer student that our class teacher brought in before class. This transfer student doesn't seem very happy, with a height of around 1.7-1.8 meters and a somewhat slender build. Unlike normal transfer students who usually appear shy at first, his expression seems indifferent to everything.

  Luosi saw the boy bow slightly and say in a toneless voice, "Hello everyone, I'm Tang Xiaoxia, please take care of me." He then walked to the empty seat behind Luosi. The class was filled with whispers like "So handsome! How can he be so handsome!" Luosi despised these girls in her heart, but had to admit that although the boy was aloof, he was indeed very handsome and clean-cut.

  In Class 6 of High School, there were originally only eight boys, and they all looked ordinary. This made Luosiqi, who had been beautiful since childhood, very depressed. Seeing these common girls in the science class being treated like stars made Luosiqi feel like she was born at the wrong time.

  Now Class 6 of High School Year 2 finally has a clean and handsome class leader, Wang Meng, who had been the long-time Luosiqi, finally felt relieved.

  However, she was still somewhat dissatisfied. The name Tang Xiaoxia was just so-so, and Tang Xiaoxia Luosiqi sounded smooth enough, but look at his cold and indifferent attitude! Those ordinary people around him were nothing to be surprised about, but he didn't even give a second glance when passing by the naturally beautiful lady in front of him! He should have been dazed, with icy hands and feet, staring blankly, and even stumbling and falling under her pomegranate skirt!

  Lucy looked down at her blue skirt, the school-issued uniform was not bad, the length just above the knee was safe, only revealing her slender and shiny little legs.

  However, she thought for a while and wasn't very annoyed anymore. She felt that Wang should also have an elegant demeanor, be calm and composed, and perhaps he was secretly admiring her to death, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be indifferent.

  Let him pretend for a while! Anyway, he will eventually stand in front of himself on one knee and confess deeply!

  Lucy thought to herself that she was actually a bit silly, she felt warm on her back, thinking that the handsome guy behind might be looking at her with joy, she became a little nervous, she told herself to calm down, but secretly tried to sit up straight.

  Even the most beautiful girl needs a boyfriend! When this thought appeared in Luosiqi's mind, she couldn't calm down anymore.

  She didn't know that Tang Xiaoxia was struggling with something behind her, until the teacher called out Luo Siqi's name during roll call, and then the handsome guy suddenly lit up and relaxed for some reason.

  Anyway, Luosi couldn't see the moment when Tang Xiaoxia's eyes lit up in front of her. She only knew that after the first class, Tang Xiaoxia started chatting with her, asking about her age, interests and hobbies, and hesitantly asked if she knew an old man who looked like a teacher.

  Luo Siqi found it strange and asked him what kind of old man he was. Luo Siqi had indeed seen many teachers in the past few years, and she knew several older teachers, but none were like the one Tang Xiaoxia described. Perhaps it was because her confusion was too obvious, she discovered that Tang Xiaoxia quickly gave up asking her about the old man and instead became engrossed in his own mysterious thoughts.

  Luosi Qi asked him what he was thinking about but he didn't say, because it was the first day they met, she also didn't want to pursue and ask aggressively, her heart was just itching with curiosity.

  She told him that she liked things about time-traveling, and enjoyed watching movies and TV dramas about it. However, she was a bit tired of the usual Ming and Qing dynasty time-traveling dramas, and wanted to see some earlier ones, such as those set in the Spring and Autumn period or the Three Kingdoms, Tang and Song dynasties. It would be great if she could travel back to those eras herself.

  She saw Tang Xiaoxia smile wryly and lean in close to her, whispering: "Actually, I have a way to let you travel back to the past!"

  A little excited Luosi hurriedly asked what method it was. She heard Tang Xiaoxia say very mysteriously and in a low voice, "Dream!"

  。~。。。。。

  The feeling of being teased made Luosi very angry, she turned her head and ignored Tang Xiaoxia, thinking that he must apologize to herself, otherwise she would not speak to him again, but he was quietly behind, without any movement.

  At noon, when Tang Xiaoxia was gone during the break, he came back panting and stared at Luosi Qi for a long time. Luosi Qi felt a bit hairy from being stared at and asked him: "What are you looking at? Have you seen a ghost?"

  Tang Xiaoxia looked a bit frightened, and he muttered: "Maybe I really saw a ghost!"

  Luosi thought Tang Xiaoxia was mocking her, saying she was a ghost. In anger, she said to him: "Tang Xiaoxia, are you looking for death? Say it again! Who is the ghost?"

  She didn't expect Tang Xiaoxia to grab her hand and ask urgently: "Luosi Qi, do you know if Shi Ji is right or not? Do you know if Shi Ji is right or not?"

  He grasped Luosiqi's hand so tightly, as if he had grabbed a lifeline. Luosiqi felt pain but shook off Tang Xiaoxia's hand and shouted loudly: "Tang Xiaoxia, are you crazy? This is the liberal arts class! Who doesn't know Shi Ji? Have you gone mad?"

  She saw Tang Xiaoxia's eyes light up, withdrew her hand and scratched her head, apologetically said to Luosi Qi: "Luosi Qi, sorry, really sorry, it seems that the bookstore people are playing a prank! They're really something, they don't do business, scared me to death!"

  Luosiqi won't let it go just because of Tang Xiaoxia's casual apology, not to mention that Tang Xiaoxia is not her boyfriend. Even if he was, it would be hard for him to be forgiven for grabbing her hand and asking such a stupid question out of the blue!

  What's more, he even clenched his own fist so painfully!

  She wants to teach him a good lesson, although she has to maintain her ladylike image, but this matter can't be let go like that!

  Something even stranger happened, the classmates who were looking this way because of the sudden event just now actually asked some questions that made Luo Siqi even more crazy: "What is Shiji? Is it a time-traveler? Why did you start with such an unimpressive name?"

  It seems that he suddenly remembered something, returned to his seat, took out the history book, quickly flipped through it, and slumped into his seat, exclaiming: "Indeed, Sima Qian's records in 'Records of the Grand Historian' are all gone!"

  Luosiqi thought: What kind of prank is Tang Xiaxia playing on herself? How can there be no record of Sima Qian and "The Records of the Grand Historian" in history books?

  She irritably picked up the history book and flipped to a familiar page, as if it had never happened before. She had almost read through every word about the Western Han Dynasty, yet still couldn't find the five words "Historical Records" and "Sima Qian".

  There were no blank pages in the history book, and the content of those five words seemed to have vanished into thin air. All the chapters flowed smoothly, as if the content of those five words had never been born in this world.

  She turned her head and looked at Tang Xiaoxia, Tang Xiaoxia's history book had flipped to the historical content of the Song Dynasty.

  She asked Tang Xiaoxia: "What happened after all?"

  She saw that Tang Xiaoxia's gaze was not calmer than hers. However, his buffering period was obviously longer than hers. He said to Luosi Qi: "Don't ask me, I can only tell you that the 'Zizhi Tongjian' is also gone. Maybe what we know now about history, especially the part about the Spring and Autumn Periods and the Warring States Period, are just a few words left in history books!"

  Luosi was somewhat restless all afternoon, and her classmates, except for Tang Xiaoxia, seemed to know nothing about "The Records of the Grand Historian" and "Zizhi Tongjian". During class breaks, she even went to ask the history teacher, hoping that the history teacher would scold her, call her an idiot, and say she wasn't making progress!

  But when she saw her history teacher's expression of strenuous thought and yet utter bewilderment, she finally gave up all hope!

  How she wished it were a dream! A dream from which she would wake up to find it was just Monday morning.

  But she really was in reality, and Lucille twisted her arm hard, feeling real pain.

  After school, Tang Xiaoxia asked Luo Siqi for her phone number and even asked her to wait under his building for a while. Luo Siqi didn't refuse because she felt that in this world, only Tang Xiaoxia was real, so real that she couldn't help but trust him unconditionally.

  Luosiqi didn't wait for long under Tang Xiaoxia's building, she saw Tang Xiaoxia excitedly holding a deep yellow book walking down, he said to Luosiqi: "Fortunately it's still here, take good care of it, don't lose it!"

  When Luosi saw the two words, she suddenly wanted to cry. She asked Tang Xiaoxia how this came about. Tang Xiaoxia said: "I used to like reading it, so I bought it, unfortunately only the second half of the book, but at least it can prove that it really existed!"

  Luosi suddenly remembered to ask Tang Xiaxia why she thought of Shiji today?

  Tang Xiaxia said he didn't know either, an old man just asked him to deliver a copy of "Records of the Grand Historian" to her.

  Luosiqi was very curious about the old man in Tang Xiaoxia's mouth, so she wanted to ask carefully, but Tang Xiaoxia shook her head and said to her: "Don't ask me anymore, I don't know many things either. You go home first! I need to go back and think carefully, and I'll tell you tomorrow after I've thought it through."

  Luosi wanted to stop him but seeing his pitiful appearance, she let him go upstairs instead.

  Luosi asked her parents if they knew what "Historical Records" and "Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government" were while having dinner at home, still quite helpless. She looked at the puzzled expressions on her parents' faces, but she didn't feel as desperate as before.

  She was searching online for the two books before going to bed, and as expected, there was no information about them on the internet. She then searched for Sima Qian, but only found that he was a minor historian who got involved in the Li Ling case, and didn't have any great achievements like compiling "Records of the Grand Historian". As for Sima Guang, there was a lot of information, saying he was a politician and a literary figure, but the book "Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government" completely disappeared from his biography.

  Apart from a few thin history books, it seems that all the official histories related to the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period have disappeared. There are some unofficial histories and related ones, but the historical records inside them differ greatly from those in the official histories.

  Before going to bed, Luosiqi wanted to call Tang Xiaoxia, but she only gave Tang Xiaoxia a phone call and forgot his number. It was already almost 10 o'clock at night.

  It seems that there is only tomorrow left! Luosi sighed, put the book of history sent by Tang Xiaoxia under her pillow, turned off the lights, and gradually fell asleep.
