Chapter 1

  1  Write to the past-self?

 "What kind of delivery is this? When did I purchase it?" 

Lin Xian looked at the delivery just signed, confused.

"Maybe your friend sent it to you."

Said the delivery man casually. Lin Xian returned to the house and opened the package. Inside was a strange little red mailbox about the size of a kettle.

"It's a child's toy, right? Is it a prank? There's a letter inside too.”

Lin Xian opened it and looked at it. The font was a little scrawled, about the same level as his. The contents of the letter were very short:

["This is a Space-time mailbox, you can send letters to people in the past!" ] 

[" Please be sure to write the recipient, recipient address, and delivery time on the envelope!" ] 

[ Don't forget to paste stamps! The postage is unified at 1 yuan!" ]

 Oh, it's definitely a prank."

Lin Xian smiled, 

‘Can the past people write letters? That's funny’.

He didn't pay much attention, though he didn't know who did this, sooner or later the owner would appear.

After a busy day, Lin Xian was tired. He laid on the sofa and turned on the TV - 

Beep!

{ "Now! It's an exciting moment! There's only one more number left!” }

On TV, the lottery ceremony was live. Now the first few numbers were out, only the last number ball left. In the prize machine, dozens of ping-pong balls with numbers on them were shaking.

Finally, a ping-pong ball with a "06" was rolled out. The host excitedly picked up the microphone:

" Yes, 06! The ping-pong number is 06! Let us congratulate the winning friend!"

Lin Xian looked at the TV without showing any curiosity. He is too old to believe that lottery tickets are "real and fair ". 

"It is just a man-made game. If you can travel to the past... it would be nice to know the lottery numbers in advance."

Thinking of this, Lin Xian turned to look at the small Red Mailbox on the table. The letter said it's a Mailbox that I can write to people in the past.

……………………

" Interesting."

Lin Xian laughed helplessly. In modern society, where are people writing letters? 

Envelopes are used to hold money and gifts, and stamps are used to collect.

 But it just so happens that the nature of Lin Xian's work does require envelopes. 

As for the stamps, although Lin Xian did not like to collect them, his father gave him a copy when he was a child.

"Found it ."

Lin Xian found the stamp in the small box where he placed his childhood items.

There are a total of 4 photos, still with the theme of the zodiac, each with a face value of 5 cents.

"If I can really receive the letter... will it be a prank?" 

"It has to be credible, and I have to convince my past self that this is not a prank!"

“With ideas, if there is a god in writing:

[My dear me in the past]

【Hello. 】

[For you, I am tomorrow's you. This is a letter I will write to you in the future. 】

[Don't worry if you think it's a prank, tell you a little secret that only we know…

[In elementary school, you wrote love letters to a Chinese teacher in secret, in your homework. 

Pinyin is still used, but later, it was corrected by the Chinese teacher as homework, comments are: S, C, Z and SH, CH, ZH, are irrelevant, type back and rewrite.] 

[Well, don't be nervous, this matter has not been exposed, only we know it. 】

[Do you believe me now? I am you, the future you. 】

[Let’s talk about business, the ping-pong ball number in this issue is XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-05]

[Remember? Go buy a note, 2 yuan, I will not lie to you! 】

[Signature: Tomorrow's you]

……... 

Lin Xian estimated that the last digit of the first prize of was wrong.

The correct one should be 06, and he changed it to 05.

This is to avoid triggering the butterfly effect.

The last one was wrong, it was the second prize, and there were hundreds of thousands.

This kind of thing can't be too greedy. 

If you are too greedy, the "operator" may modify the winning number, and you won't be able to win a penny at that time.

"It's done."

After writing, Lin Xian folded the A4 paper, put it in the envelope, and then sealed it with a glue stick. 

Wrote the address and the delivery date of yesterday. 

Attach two stamps with a face value of $50.

Everything is done.

Lin Xian patted the small red toy post box.

Whoosh. 

He put the envelope directly into the slit of the post box and did not turn his head back.

"Now, Wash and sleep!"
