Chapter 253
Qiao Suisui didn't hear clearly and looked up with a smile, asking: "What?"
Zongfang lowered his head and stared at her tightly, asking: "You are not the Qiao Suisui who has been with us for more than ten years, right?"
Qiao Suisui was startled.
"Who exactly are you?"
Their eyes met, and Qiao Suisui saw the certainty in Zongfang's eyes.
Anubis stepped forward and pulled Zongfang, trying to push him out, "She just woke up, better ask later."
Luka heard the meaning in Zongfang's words, a light flashing in his eyes.
Laiboli and Ka'er didn't know what they were talking about, so they also stood up and aimed their spears at Zongfang: "What exactly are you talking about? Make it clear."
"You knew too?" Ka'er looked at Anubis.
Anubis lowered his head, not denying it.
For a time, no one in the hall spoke.
Ka'er couldn't stand this atmosphere and broke the silence first: "Who can tell me what the hell is going on? You're uniting to isolate me, right?"
Laiboli echoed Ka'er's words for the first time in his life: "I want to know too, what happened?"
Qiao Suisui slowly relaxed her hand that was subconsciously gripping the corner of the quilt, her expression calm. She smiled and said: "Zongfang is right, these ten-plus years, I haven't truly lived with you."
Ka'er felt as if he had heard some ghost story, widening his eyes in confusion: "Then who was the one living with us?"
"Also me."
"?"
Ka'er felt he was confused.
Luka's gaze contracted for a moment when he got this answer.
Laiboli asked: "You mean, there are two of you?"
Qiao Suisui touched her chin, her expression somewhat distressingly cute. She got out of bed barefoot, wanting to get paper and pen, but was picked up and held in Zongfang's arms the second she landed.
"What do you want? Tell me."
She blinked and said paper and pen. Then Anubis brought it over.
She was put back on the bed by Zongfang, looking at him somewhat curiously, asking: "You know I'm not the Qiao Suisui who paired with you and lived with you for more than ten years, why do you still care about me?"
Zongfang squatted in front of her with a cold face, letting her feet step on his legs, then put comfortable and soft socks on her, not forgetting to wrap her soles with his large hands after doing all this.
Her hands and feet were always cold, especially during this change of seasons when she was prone to catching a cold.
At this moment, confirming her body temperature, he looked at her, his expression not very good, even a bit strict?
He said: "You explain what needs to be explained first."
Qiao Suisui pouted, thinking to herself, the children might be afraid of you, but I don't buy your act.
She took a pen and first drew a long horizontal line on the paper, saying to them: "This is the timeline where I originally was."
Then she drew two dots at the end and three-quarters of this horizontal line, and marked the direction of going backward with arrows.
"On this timeline, Anubis died, I died, later I lived again, then I went back to a time point in the past, and then there was a second timeline..." She said, drawing another long horizontal line down from the dot at the three-quarters mark.
"Wait!" Ka'er raised his hand to ask: "Why did you..." When he said that word, he felt his tongue was somewhat stiff, "... die?"
Seeing Luka and the others also looking at her seriously, Qiao Suisui thought for a moment and said: "People will die, but it doesn't matter, I'm alive now."
Zongfang frowned, pinching her wrist tightly, already somewhat angry: "You're still not telling the truth?"
"You're hurting her." Laiboli pushed Zongfang's hand away, took her hand, and rubbed it gently for her. Luka said: "Sui Sui, continue."
Qiao Suisui nodded, pointing to the second horizontal line and saying: "This is the second timeline. On this line, I stayed for less than an hour, then went back to the halfway point of the first timeline, where the third timeline was born."
She marked the dot at the halfway point of the first timeline, then drew a third horizontal line down along it.
"Why go back to the first timeline again?" Luka asked.
Qiao Suisui looked up, just meeting his pair of golden eyes. She was dazed for a moment, muttering: "Because on both of these timelines, you were gone."
Luka was stunned, seeing her somewhat distracted and slightly red eyes, stepped forward and hugged her, his voice gentle to the extreme: "I am here, I will always be here."
Qiao Suisui smiled slightly, nodded heavily, and then pointed to the third timeline and said: "This time, I stayed for a few days, then went back to the first timeline. Here."
She marked the dot at the quarter point of the first timeline and said: "It was also here that I met Bi."
Anubis's eyes were already red, his emotions surging in his eyes, restrained to the point that his lips were trembling.
He looked at Qiao Suisui and said: "So... you were only after going through so many times that you returned to that day, so... that's why you said to me that day that you would work hard for me thousands and thousands of times..."
Anubis buried his head in her waist, unable to control his crying anymore.
"I really didn't know, I actually didn't know anything, so my dreams were all real, those were all things that happened on different timelines..."
He collapsed and gripped the bed sheet beside her tightly, the veins on his arms bulging.
Anubis thought that dazzling afternoon was just an accidental encounter when she returned from the future, not expecting she had already returned many times to save him. Would she be tired, would she collapse, would she be sad because she couldn't change it, would she be heartbroken watching him die again and again... Thinking of these, Anubis felt he almost couldn't breathe.
"Sui Sui, I'm sorry."
His face was flushed with excitement, his face full of tear stains at this moment.
Qiao Suisui raised her hand to wipe away his tears. She was also infected by Anubis's emotions, feeling somewhat sad.
Zongfang gave Ka'er a look, and Ka'er, who was still dazed, immediately pulled Anubis away.
"She is pregnant now, don't keep upsetting her." Zongfang warned.
Anubis nodded, taking deep breaths to constantly adjust his emotions.
Ka'er's brain had already turned around at this moment. He calculated and said: "So the timeline we are on now is the fourth one?"
Qiao Suisui nodded, explaining: "I can only stay for 30 minutes when I go back to the past. Every time I come back from the past, no matter how many years pass, I will only return to the latest time."
Zongfang raised his chin, a flash of light in his silver pupils.
He finally understood everything.
In fact, it wasn't just Anubis having dreams; he had also been having dreams about her on and off all these years.
It was just because he had read the letter left by Qiao Suisui, so he knew she went back to the past, and also knew she would definitely come back, but he didn't know exactly what time, nor did he know why she had to do this.
Zongfang asked her: "So the you before the banquet had just returned from the past, right?"
Qiao Suisui remembered him lying to her about it being their third anniversary of pairing, which was already testing her. He actually noticed it at that time? She felt this man was really too terrifying, sharp and smart. Fortunately, she didn't meet him in the real world, otherwise, she would dare to be one-to-many like this, and would be caught in minutes.
She swallowed and looked honest. "Right."
"Then why did you go back to the past again and again? Really just to save Anubis?"
Zongfang narrowed his eyes and stared at her, as if he would eat her as long as he found she had any intention of evading.
It wasn't because he had any doubts about her, but because Zongfang couldn't believe she had actually borne all this alone without sharing it with him.
The harem is gathered, please vote.
