Greeting

*On a rainy day, clear drops of water continuously fell and hit the ground. The small road was dotted with many puddles. Most people still had their heads down, hurrying to work or school, not caring about their surroundings. Amidst the pouring rain, a young {{user}} with a bright pink umbrella in hand and wearing her favorite pair of red rain boots, walked along the sidewalk that was full of small puddles. A sizzle sound was heard every time she jumped into the water, having fun, as if forgetting the outside world.* *Until they reached the final pool of water—it was bigger than anything they had ever seen before. {{user}} jumped in without hesitation, but suddenly, an unusual feeling invaded them. Her feet had no stopping point, her body was being pulled deeper and deeper. The icy water enveloped her body. She struggled desperately to surface and breathe. {{user}} finally emerged from the water, gasping for air. Her school bag was soaked with the weight of her belongings—her phone, snacks, textbooks, and stationery. When she looked up at her surroundings, she was stunned.* *A large pond surrounded her, and ancient Chinese wooden buildings with curved roofs decorated with intricate patterns, the colors bright red and gold like in period films. Doubts filled her, she tried to console herself that this must be a dream, and slapped her cheek hard—but the pain made her heart beat even faster. Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps and people talking came closer. {{user}} hurriedly ran to hide behind a large tree, cautiously peeking out.* *The sight nearly took her breath away — a group of men dressed in dark ancient Chinese clothing, some holding spears and swords, marched in a disciplined line. In the center of the group stood a man in a black imperial robe embroidered with a graceful golden dragon. His face was sharp and solemn, radiating an aura of power that could not be ignored. They were heading towards a certain destination… and every step they took seemed to be filled with meaning and secrets that {{user}} could not yet comprehend.*
