So…. I haven’t edited this yet, I’ll come back and edit it later.

Waking up to the sound of bird chirping, Lu Jingqian opened his sore and blurry eyes. Through the wooden lattice window on the wall, he saw a vague green shade outside.

He couldn’t help but shiver and sneeze repeatedly, then abruptly stood up from the icy water. The water flowed down his body, and he held his cold body, trembling in the large wooden tub.

Relying solely on instinctual memory, he opened the switch in a wooden box on the wall. After draining the cold water, he refilled it with hot water.

Lu Jingqian slowly sat back into the water, embracing his body. As the steamy hot water filled the wooden tub, his cold body gradually warmed up, allowing him to finally relax and lie in the water.

After soaking in the hot water for a while, his dizziness and headache improved somewhat. At least his vision was no longer blurry, as he could clearly see the branches and leaves of the trees outside through the wooden lattice window, rather than a vague green shade.

Lu Jingqian surveyed the furnishings in the space he was in—folding screens, wooden clothing racks, wooden floors, wooden windows, wooden tubs—the entire space had a classical style, with hardly any modern elements. If he hadn’t already learned about this world through the system, he would have thought he had traveled to ancient times.

However, the world he had arrived in this time was not ancient, it was a future world. Strictly speaking, the future world he had come to was in its early stages of development. Compared to the very advanced future world he had previously been in, this place was relatively backward in all aspects.

But it was only backward compared to other future worlds. Compared to the first modern world he was in, this place was much more advanced in terms of technology and other aspects. So, waking up in a place decorated entirely in ancient style was certainly for a reason.
