2 ： A Leap Through Time

r　goal　is　to　find　the　resistance，＂　Han　Fengling　said.　＂There　are　still　those　who　fight　against　the　Dark　Lord.　They　will　help　us.＂

    After　hours　of　walking，　they　finally　reached　a　small，　hidden　village　nestled　in　a　valley.　The　villagers　greeted　Han　Fengling　warmly，　and　Sukie　could　see　the　respect　and　admiration　they　held　for　him.　It　was　clear　that　he　was　an　important　figure　in　this　world.

    ＂This　is　Sukie，＂　Han　Fengling　introduced　her　to　the　village　leader，　an　elderly　woman　with　kind　eyes.　＂She　is　new　to　our　land，　but　she　has　a　crucial　role　to　play　in　our　struggle.＂

    The　leader　nodded，　her　gaze　penetrating.　＂Welcome，　Sukie.　You　are　among　friends　here.＂

    Sukie　felt　a　sense　of　relief　wash　over　her.　For　the　first　time　since　arriving　in　this　strange　world，　she　felt　safe.　The　villagers　provided　them　with　food　and　a　place　to　rest，　and　Sukie　finally　had　a　moment　to　process　everything　that　had　happened.

    As　she　lay　on　a　simple　cot　in　a　small　hut，　her　mind　raced　with　questions.　Why　had　she　been　brought　here?　What　was　her　role　in　this　world?　And　most　importantly，　what　was　her　connection　to　Han　Fengling?

    She　thought　back　to　their　first　meeting　in　the　bookstore，　the　way　he　had　looked　at　her　as　if　he　had　known　her　forever.　There　was　an　undeniable　bond　between　them，　one　that　transcended　the　boundaries　of　time　and　space.　But　what　did　it　all　mean?

    The　next　morning，　Sukie　woke　early，　eager　to　learn　more　about　her　new　surroundings.　Han　Fengling　was　already　up，　speaking　with　the　village　leader.　When　he　saw　her，　he　smiled　and　waved　her　over.

    ＂We　have　much　to　do　today，＂　he　said.　＂There　is　a　lot　you　need　to　learn　about　this　world　and　your　place　in　it.＂
