Peach Blossoms in Chang'an

Chapter 280 Love has no boundaries, time and space are eternal

After the crisis was resolved, the warm sun shone on the bluestone roads of Chang'an City, as if nothing had changed.

"Mom, I want to stay here with Yueying." Xingchen's voice broke the brief silence. His eyes were firm and his tone was full of unquestionable determination.

Wu Tao was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Hu Bugui, only to see that he was also looking at her, his eyes full of understanding and support. "Xingchen has grown up, let him do whatever he wants." Hu Bugui gently held Wu Tao's hand, as if to give her strength.

"But..." Wu Tao wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xingchen.

"Mom, you and Dad still have unfinished missions in the modern world. Yueying and I will guard everything here and not let anyone destroy the balance between the two worlds." Xingchen said, looking at Yueying with tenderness in his eyes.

Yueying also looked at Xingchen, with a faint smile on her lips, and nodded gently. After going through so much, their hearts have long been closely connected.

"Okay, I promise you." Wu Tao finally let go, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "But you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself and protect Yueying."

"I will, mother." Xingchen promised solemnly.

In this way, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui returned to the modern world. They kept this fantastic experience deep in their hearts and continued to live an ordinary and happy life. Xingchen and Yueying stayed in the Tang Dynasty. They fought side by side to protect the peace of the two worlds. Their love also took root in this ancient land, like the stars that traveled through time and space, brilliant and eternal.

"Xingchen, do you think we will have our own children in the future?" Yueying asked softly, snuggling in Xingchen's arms, looking at the sky full of stars.

Xingchen looked down at Yueying in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and doting, "Yes, our child will be as beautiful as you and as brave as me..."

As the night deepened, Chang'an City gradually returned to its tranquility. Only the sky full of stars still shone brightly... And Wu Tao, who was far away in the modern times, seemed to have some feelings. He looked up out the window and murmured to himself: "Stars, you..."

Wu Tao's fingers gently stroked the window glass, and the stars in the night sky seemed close at hand. The stars, her child, should be walking hand in hand with the moonlight under the night sky of Chang'an City. Hu Bugui hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked softly, "Are you thinking about the stars again?"

Wu Tao smiled slightly, turned around, and gently stroked Hu Bugui's face, "Yeah, I wonder how he is now, and whether he is taking good care of himself."

"Don't worry. Xingchen has been more mature and sensible than his peers since he was young. He will definitely take good care of himself and Yueying." Hu Bugui held Wu Tao's hand, interlocking their fingers. "Besides, we will be able to see him again soon."

Yes, they will be able to see the stars again soon. Although they have returned to the modern era, they have never forgotten the stars and the moon, nor have they forgotten the safety of the two worlds. They used the books brought back from the Tang Dynasty and combined with modern technology to successfully replicate the magic weapon that can travel through time and space.

"This time, we will not only go back to see the stars, but also bring more modern knowledge and technology." Wu Tao's eyes flashed with determination, "We want both worlds to share the fruits of scientific and technological progress and jointly create a better future."

Hu Bugui looked at Wu Tao with appreciation, "Okay, let's do as you say. Let's work together to make the people of both worlds live a happy and peaceful life."

In the days that followed, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui devoted themselves to this great cause. They traveled to various universities and research institutes, recruited a group of like-minded experts and scholars, and worked together to study the integration of ancient culture and modern technology. They also established a special foundation to fund projects dedicated to promoting cultural exchanges, and built modern schools and hospitals in the Tang Dynasty, bringing advanced educational concepts and medical technologies to that era.

As time went by, the deeds of Wu Tao and Hu Bugui gradually became known to the world, and their story became a legend that people in two worlds talked about with great relish. Whenever night falls, people look up at the starry sky and always think of this couple who transcended time and space, and their contributions to the peace and development of the two worlds...

"Grandma, is your story with Grandpa true? Have you really been to another world?" A childish voice sounded, interrupting Wu Tao's thoughts.

Wu Tao looked lovingly at the little girl in front of her. She was Xingchen's granddaughter. The shadow of Xingchen's youth could be vaguely seen in her eyes. The little girl's question brought Wu Tao's thoughts back to reality. She put down the teacup in her hand and gently stroked the little girl's hair, her eyes full of memories.

"Of course it's true," Wu Tao's voice was gentle but firm, "The story of your grandfather and I will shine forever like the stars in the sky." She pointed to the deep night sky outside the window. A meteor streaked across the sky, leaving behind a dazzling light.

"Grandma, can you tell us more stories about you and grandpa in the Tang Dynasty?" Another childish voice sounded. It was Xingchen's other grandson. He ran to Wu Tao, shaking the corner of her clothes, his eyes full of expectation.

Wu Tao smiled and nodded. The children never tire of listening to stories about the Tang Dynasty. Whenever this happened, Xingchen and Yueying would put down their work and stay with the children, recalling those legendary years together.

"In the Tang Dynasty, your grandfather and I met and fell in love. We experienced many hardships and tests together and finally reaped happiness," Wu Tao said with a tone full of nostalgia. "We also met many like-minded friends and worked together for peace and development in both worlds."

"Grandma, are you talking about Grandma Yueying and Grandpa Xingchen?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Yes," Wu Tao nodded with a smile, "Xingchen and Yueying, they are like our children. Together we protect two worlds and also protect the feelings between us."

Xingchen and Yueying smiled at each other, their eyes full of tacit understanding and warmth. Over the years, they have fought side by side, jointly guarding the peace of the two worlds, and have also witnessed countless love stories across time and space.

"Grandma, will you and Grandpa go back to the Tang Dynasty?" asked the little boy, with a longing gleam in his eyes.

Wu Tao was silent for a moment, she looked out the window, her eyes deep and far away. Xingchen and Yueying also looked at her, waiting for her answer.

"Maybe," Wu Tao said softly, "If one day, the two worlds..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, leaving a suspenseful ending. The children looked at her curiously, waiting for her to continue, while Xingchen and Yueying seemed to understand something, their eyes were full of worry and expectation...

"If one day, the two worlds need us..." Wu Tao's voice became low, containing thousands of words, but it stopped abruptly at the most critical moment. The children were still young and did not understand the meaning of this, but Xingchen and Yueying understood it clearly. They had experienced too much with Wu Tao and Hu Bugui, and they knew the great responsibility of protecting the peace of the two worlds.

"Grandma, don't worry. My brother and I will study hard and become heroes like you and grandpa!" The little boy clenched his fists, his childish voice full of determination. The little girl nodded repeatedly, with a determined light in her eyes.

Wu Tao smiled with relief, she knew that the children would eventually grow up and pass on their will to protect peace. And she and Hu Bugui would never give up their love for each other and their responsibility to the two worlds.

On a starry night, Wu Tao, Hu Bugui, Xingchen and Yueying stood on the top of a high-rise building in the modern world, overlooking the prosperity of the city. The flashing neon lights and the busy traffic complemented the lights of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, as if the boundaries of time and space became blurred at this moment.

"Tao'er, do you still remember the bright moon over Chang'an City when we first met?" Hu Bugui gently held Wu Tao's hand, his eyes filled with deep affection that had been tempered by the years.

"Of course I remember. The moonlight at that time, like the tenderness in your eyes, illuminated my journey across thousands of years." Wu Tao snuggled up to Hu Bugui, feeling this love that transcends time and space.

Xingchen and Yueying stood behind them and smiled at each other. They also found their own happiness. Their love and friendship were like a bond that transcended time and space, closely connecting the two worlds and would never be separated by time and space.

"Tao'er," Hu Bugui suddenly turned to Wu Tao, with a strange light in his eyes, "Do you still remember the magic weapon that can help you travel through time?"

Wu Tao's heart moved, and the long-forgotten memory was awakened again. "You mean..."

"Maybe, it can take us to even further places..." Hu Bugui's voice was low and mysterious, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he saw a whole new world.
