The Bubble Effect

No one ever told Gu Xi that after the last bus, there was another ride. Once you got on, it took you three years into the future.

And you'd have a kid to raise, too.

If she could do it all over again...

Whenever Gu Xi thought about that, her brain would freeze up.

She'd gained that perspective partly because her future self was financially independent, but two people deserved most of the credit.

A little bubble.

A handsome man.

At times like this, Gu Xi would refresh luxury brand websites, waiting for new releases, while glancing toward the door...

Her good-looking husband, who'd just come back from work, turned his wrist and slipped off his watch. He set it on the table, then crouched in front of the little Bubble, who was playing with rainbow blocks, and clapped his hands. "Want Daddy to pick you up?"

The little rice ball studied her dad for a moment, recognized him, put down her blocks, and opened her small, fair arms to indulge him.

You had to admit, it was a lovely sight.

Gu Xi looked at it and was immune.

But when the cushion beside her sank, she looked up. Someone cradled her head and kissed her deeply. Afterward, she calmly pushed Gu Yiqin away. "You're blocking my countdown."

As for suddenly having a handsome husband...

Gu Xi sometimes thought it was pretty okay.

1. A sweet, cozy slice-of-life story.

2. Lots of child-raising scenes. The search for the truth behind the memories of those three years has a few twists and turns.

3. The main characters and supporting cast are all flawed. The plot comes first. The plot in the first read-through wasn't carefully planned, and most controversial points are explained later. Feel free to stop reading if it's not for you.

4. One child throughout the story and extra chapters.

Theme: Love is the only thing that lasts forever.
