The four of them watched the movie until dusk, and it was not until then that the rain stopped. After Yu Rou and Xin Miao left one after another, Duan Xi returned.

Since there were fewer people, Lu Zishu and Zhao Li were too lazy to cook at home and ate at the Ruan Family’s place. After dinner, seeing the nice weather outside, Lu Zishu suggested taking Rou Rou and Xiaoxue out for a walk.

Xiaoxue is now half a year old, much larger in size, and her fur has changed from gray to silver, making her very beautiful. Considering that there were children in the community, even though Rou Rou and Xiaoxue never chase people, they still put on leashes.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi walking together, the sticky nature of the two made Lu Zishu feel annoyed, so he snatched the leash from their hands and ran ahead with the two wolves.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi leisurely walked behind.

Over the years, Ruan Jiaojiao had long been accustomed to sharing everything with him, so as they walked, she started talking about what happened today, ending with a puzzled murmur: "At first, I thought I was mistaken, but after hearing Brother Zishu say he felt it too, it shouldn’t be an illusion. But it’s very strange, I’ve never seen him."

Duan Xi recalled the moment when he returned yesterday and met that person’s gaze, his expression turning somewhat serious.

Though he had never seen the other person before, he unexpectedly felt a sense of familiarity at first glance, and the other person’s reaction upon seeing him clearly indicated recognition too.

Duan Xi was silent for a few seconds, then turned to Ruan Jiaojiao and said, "He seems a bit strange. When I’m not home, stay inside and don’t wander around. I’ll have someone look into it."

Duan Xi lacked the capability, so that night he asked Ruan Hao for help in investigating, as Ruan Hao had been abroad and had some connections there.

Knowing that Duan Xi wouldn’t ask for help lightly, Ruan Hao didn’t dare to be negligent and took action that very night.

A week later, when Duan Xi and Ruan Jiaojiao returned from vacation again, the results of the investigation from abroad were sent to Ruan Hao’s computer.

A very detailed report.

On the surface, the report showed nothing unusual. The Shen Family had moved abroad in the early 80s, and when they relocated, the Shen brothers were only two or three years old. The family of four had lived overseas for over a decade without returning, and it was indeed only recently that they moved back.

However, upon closer examination, some unusual aspects were revealed. For instance, the Shen family’s twin brothers, one of whom is Shen Ting, was originally named Shen Zhe. The name change to Shen Ting occurred before Shen Zhe returned to the country.

Even more shocking is that for about sixteen years, Shen Ting had been mentally unstable due to a childhood fever-induced brain damage, going mad for over a decade. However, around two years ago, he suddenly got better and his life became incredibly successful, smart enough to amaze people. While abroad, he won numerous research awards, truly confirming Zhao Li’s saying that there’s a thin line between genius and madness.

When Duan Xi read this report, Ruan Jiaojiao was beside him, and her first reaction was—

"Why do I feel like this Shen Ting is like a time traveler or reincarnated person?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Time traveler?" asked Ruan Hao.

He understood reincarnation, as their family had two such members, but "time traveler" was a term he was hearing for the first time.

Ruan Jiaojiao then took a moment to explain the term.
