Chapter 394 Seeing Through
"Brother! I'm done with school!"

Bai Yanliang only had time to hear this shout. When he turned around, his heart began to beat violently and uncontrollably. He didn't even see the figure clearly before he completely lost consciousness and fell down.

As if there was some force preventing him from meeting his other self, Bai Yanliang fell down extremely suddenly. Similarly, it didn't take him too long to wake up.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on a gray sofa. The dim sunlight shone on the mottled floor, casting a shadow.

Bai Yanliang propped himself up and looked at the figure by the window. It turned out to be his brother Bai Yanren.

At this moment, his hands were casually resting on the windowsill, his eyes fixed on the dim sky, but he seemed not to be looking at anything specific.

Bai Yanliang followed his gaze and could only see a large, thick cloud moving slowly. The edge of the cloud was coated with a layer of orange, as if it contained something.

As if he heard some noise, Bai Yanren turned around and looked at Bai Yanliang silently. There was an unspeakable confusion in his eyes, which was rare.

"who are you?"

It was not until Bai Yanren asked this question that Bai Yanliang realized that the brother in his memory was completely different from the real him.

My brother... doesn’t look like a happy person. I couldn’t understand it when I was a child, but now I was shocked to find that Bai Yanren was filled with a strong sense of loneliness, so lonely that even if there was someone standing side by side with him, he still seemed all alone.

Bai Yanliang didn't know how to answer. The boat was sailing under the moon, and the people were drowning in the water... Where the full moon was reflected, there was actually a door connecting to the past world.

Moreover, judging from the reactions of Xu Zhifei, Gu Pingsheng and others, they did not seem surprised by the appearance of this door.

It is even possible that they came here just for this door.

Seeing Bai Yanliang's silence, Bai Yanren did not ask any further questions. He just whispered, "Just now, my brother came back. The moment he opened the door, you and he lost consciousness at the same time."

He was just stating a fact.

"I carried him to the bedroom. He should be waking up soon." Bai Yanren's eyes fell on Bai Yanliang's face. "You and my brother look a lot like each other."

Bai Yanliang opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, but he heard a call from the bedroom: "Brother..."

He woke up.

Bai Yanren glanced at Bai Yanliang, then turned and went to the bedroom.

Bai Yanliang looked down at his hands. Until this moment he still couldn't understand whether he had really returned to the past or fallen into some replicated fragment of time.

After a while, Bai Yan came out.

"Come with me, you and my brother can't meet, right?" He revealed the truth in one sentence.

Bai Yanliang stood up, said nothing, and followed him out of the living room.

"Do your homework after dinner, I'll be back to check on you later!" Bai Yanren shouted towards the bedroom before leaving home.

"...I know!" A weak wail came from the bedroom.

As the door closed with a "click", Bai Yanren smiled and looked at Bai Yanliang: "What should I call you, Yanliang?"

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Yanliang's response, Bai Yanren went downstairs on his own.

Bai Yanliang's pupils trembled violently. He was not a person who had emotions, but the shock that Bai Yan brought to him at this moment was too great.

The two walked on the street, one in front of the other. The light had not yet faded, and looking up, they could still see the thick cloud from before, but now it had been invaded by the night, like a black stone set in the sky, which could collapse at any time and bring devastating disaster to the city.

The street lights are on. There are not many mosquitoes at this time of year, but there are still a few moths that are still flying towards the light without knowing their own life.

The neon signs, high and low, scattered everywhere, glowed in the early night. The huge streets were crowded with night market vendors and motorcycles that came from nowhere.

Bai Yanren took Bai Yanliang and walked forward calmly in this chaotic and noisy environment until they stopped in front of a grilled fish restaurant.

"Remember, this grilled fish tastes great."

Bai Yanren said with a big smile.

As he spoke, he called out to the boss: "Boss, bring the grilled fish. It's just for the two of us. You can watch me grill it." "Okay!"

The swift and decisive answer was soon drowned out by the sound of oil sizzling, car horns, and arguments from street vendors.

Bai Yanliang sat down in a daze, and was stunned for a long time.

The aroma of grilled fish swirled in the night wind. This small, not-so-high-end roadside shop gave him a rare sense of reality that he was still alive.

"Yanliang, a lot has happened to you over the years, right?"

Bai Yanren sat in front of him, looking at him softly.

He remembered his younger brother from childhood, but the younger brother in front of him seemed like a completely different person.

As for Bai Yanliang at this moment, he can finally show a little bit of his true self...

My brother is very smart and he knew it when he was very young.

Bai Yanren, who knew about the existence of Jiuyu, had a much better understanding of the past and the future than ordinary people. Therefore, even if a strange "brother" like himself appeared in front of him, he could understand it.

"I... am from ten years later."

Bai Yanliang took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Bai Yanren's pupils trembled slightly. Guessing it was one thing, but hearing the other party admit it in person was another.

At this point, Bai Yanliang no longer concealed anything and told Bai Yanren everything he knew about himself, his brother, and... about the future.

He spoke faster and faster, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Bai Yanren just listened without interrupting. The voices only stopped temporarily when the waiter brought up the grilled fish, and then Bai Yanliang's story continued.

He indeed had too many things in his heart, the most important of which was his brother's death.

It was like a torrent had found an outlet to vent, and later on, Bai Yanliang himself couldn't stop talking.

The real him has been silent for too long...

Bai Yanren listened to Bai Yanliang's description of what would happen in the future. Although his expression did not change, his grip on the chopsticks became tighter and tighter.

He smiled as he served grilled fish to the chattering Bai Yanliang. It was only at this moment that he finally confirmed... that he had succeeded.

No one knows how excited Bai Yanren was when Bai Yanliang admitted his identity.

Bai Yanliang's presence at this moment made him more determined in his thoughts.

Although Yanliang's personality changed almost completely when he grew up.

But... he is still alive, really alive!

Bai Yanren smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

But besides the gentleness in his eyes, there were also some extremely dangerous glints.

"Yanliang, my brother succeeded..."

At the home of the two brothers.

When Bai Yanliang was a child, he was lying on the desk doing his homework. As he was writing, drops of bright red blood wet the homework book.

The little boy, bleeding from all seven orifices, was completely unaware and continued to write and draw on his homework book...

(I'm back! I lost half my life, and I'm starting to update again! I'll write the new book after I finish this one, don't worry, everyone. I just might have to write slower because I'm not fully recovered yet, and I'm yang again. I'll focus on the principle of slow work and fine work. I don't care about the results. The completion of this book has become my obsession, and completion is the most important thing!)

　I lost half my life, and now I’m back… I’ve restored and updated everyone.
