Chapter 29 Told you I loved you centuries ago

Creak—

Under the glow of several oil lamps, Great Uncle Wei Shengjin's safe slowly swung open, stirring up a bit of dust.

Driven by curiosity,

Lin Xian, CC, and Angelica couldn't help but step forward, bending down to peer into the safe.

It was mostly empty, practically holding nothing.

Only a delicately crafted slim metal box was inside, which had not rusted despite the many years, indicating very high-tech material.

Yet, the box was far too small.

At most, it could hold a book or a notebook.

CC, seeing this, was somewhat perplexed,

"Why do these safes... everyone seems to store very little, quite small items, without any excess belongings?"

"Because most manufactured items just can't withstand the ravages of time..."

Lin Xian explained to CC,

"This is something that customers are told before they purchase safes. Any non-metallic man-made items, like fabric, handicrafts... these things will slowly oxidize, become brittle, fade, and then shatter."
