Chapter 2057: Chapter 2055: Intertwined Space-Time, Altered Lives (3)
Not only were his eyes complicated, but his thoughts were also turbulent. Just before, in front of the children, he pretended to be calm. But at this moment, he was already 100% sure that Qiaoqiao from another parallel universe had arrived, finally confirming Gu Junbai’s words.
Not only did he know, but his son knew immediately that his mother had been replaced.
Just now, Xiao Bao cried very sadly.
Xiao Bei was happy initially, but seeing his brother cry so sadly yet without understanding the reason, he too became upset. He had to quietly tell his son that, as the elder brother, he must always protect his sister and not let her feel sad too. Only then did Xiao Bao dry his tears and thoughtfully took his sister to play.
But he had to come back immediately to face everything in front of him.
Now, Gu Qiaoqiao would not accept everything of the Qin Family, as evidenced by her tense body just now.
But he didn’t understand why such a thing happened. Since it was a calamity, then whose calamity was it?
His mind had always been exceptionally clear since childhood, yet at this moment, it couldn’t avoid becoming somewhat chaotic. He rubbed his forehead and strode towards Gu Qiaoqiao.
And at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao noticed that Qin Yize came alone; the two children did not follow him. She was not foolish; even with her mind in a mess, she could understand what was going on.
She didn’t know which world this was; maybe it was the world from her dreams, where she and Qin Yize lived well and even had two children.
They lived in the Qin Family’s Courtyard, everything different from that world.
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked hard, her hands hanging at her sides clenched tightly together, as if this could give her strength.
At this moment, Qin Yize had already walked up to her, slightly bowing his head but maintaining a very distant distance.
This wasn’t his Qiaoqiao, not his wife, nor the mother of his two children.
In some sense, although this was one person, she was actually a stranger. She was strange to him, and he was equally unfamiliar to her.
He had to wait for his Qiaoqiao to come back and ensure that the Qiaoqiao in front of him remained normal.
Qin Yize directly asked, "Do you know about parallel worlds?"
Gu Qiaoqiao looked up at Qin Yize, her eyes filled with caution and alertness, involuntarily stepping back until she leaned against the windowsill, her hand resting on the marble surface of the windowsill. The warm coolness made her somewhat clear-headed, and she took a deep breath and shook her head.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yize pointed at his own throat, his voice faint, "Haven’t you discovered you can talk?"
Indeed, she could speak. She had just made a sound.
Gu Qiaoqiao slightly parted her red lips and couldn’t help asking, "What does parallel worlds mean?"
"Then let me ask you, are you calm down now?"
Gu Qiaoqiao looked out the window again, her gaze shrinking. She saw Qin Xiaoyu. Yes, it was Qin Xiaoyu.
She remembered seeing her half a year ago in a large mall in the Imperial Capital, with Shen Manru, bending over with her head down, nervous as if startled when someone approached, like a frightened little mouse, always in a state of trembling.
Although Qin Xiaoyu was very annoying, her brother never intended to hurt her, but by a twist of fate, that knife still went in.
Her brother paid for this with his life, and Xiao Yu didn’t fare much better.
But what did she see now?
A beautiful Qin Xiaoyu radiating a vibrant youthful aura, without a hat, her hair tied into a ponytail, swaying slightly as she walked.
Her back straight, her smile radiant, two white shadows, one big and one small, ran towards her. The big one seemed like a white wolfhound, the small one surprisingly a kitten.
Then two more shadows charged out from the courtyard. It was too far to see clearly, but one could distinctly feel they were the two children from just now, as it was the New Year, both of them wearing red down jackets with furry hats. The girl suddenly lunged at the white wolfhound and began rolling in the snow, giggling merrily. But the boy seemed somewhat forlorn; maybe sensing something, he unexpectedly turned his head abruptly, lifting his little face to meet her gaze.
Just now, she noticed the boy’s eyes looked deep and mysterious yet clear like mountain spring water.
This was a very complicated feeling.
She actually dared not meet the boy’s gaze, hurriedly turning her head and then seeing Qin Yize standing a few steps away.
Gu Qiaoqiao realized she had arrived in another world when she jumped into the deep pool in Cloud Mist Mountain, her soul transitioning to this world, which was entirely different from her original world.
Though their lives were completely different.
The people still belonged to that other world.
Thinking this, she lightly nodded, "I am calm now. Tell me what you want to say."
Qiaoqiao, who had experienced family ruin and death, carried a sense of age and indifference beyond her years.
But she also held strength and determination.
And a sense of distance that kept others at bay thousands of miles away.
Thus, Qin Yize used a calm voice to accurately narrate the distinctions between the two worlds to Gu Qiaoqiao.
"...After you leaped off the cliff, another dimension emerged. To be precise, six years ago on lunar New Year’s Eve, you came from another world, altering everything..."
Gu Qiaoqiao was shocked, her eyes widened, "What do you mean? What does altering everything mean? Six years ago, was it February 8, the year 1986?"
"Yes, it was the year 1986 on February 8, also New Year’s Eve."
Such a date, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally remembered.
And then Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression changed, her breathing clearly became unsteady, countless thoughts and countless speculations madly rushing at her mind.
Could it be... could it be... could it be...
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart also began to race wildly.
But before Gu Qiaoqiao could ask, Qin Yize straightforwardly said, "Qiaoqiao, I will take you to a place where he will tell you everything."
Just now, he had already called the Old Patriarch and Uncle.
Under the current circumstances, this Gu Qiaoqiao was evidently unsuitable to remain at the Qin Family’s Courtyard.
To her, everyone here, even including him, was unfamiliar, could even be described as resentful due to misunderstandings.
And Qiaoqiao’s resentment was also because many people here had not treated her well before, so it was no longer appropriate for her to celebrate the New Year here.
Except regarding the true situation of this Qiaoqiao, for now, he had no choice but to reveal the truth to his Great Grandfather and grandmother.
