Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Xu Ying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her: "Hey, don't be in a daze!"
Wei Shishi came back to her senses, looked up at the two of them, and said softly, "I've only seen him once. To be more precise, I've only seen him once, just once. That's why I always thought I was dazzled."
She began to tell what happened at that time.
It was one night, when she was still young, only six years old.
At that time, her parents had just passed away less than a year ago.
Wei Bo was very depressed during that period. For a whole year, he almost ignored his affairs and had no appetite.
Wei Bai has a high reputation in the Wei family, and everyone in the Wei family respects him very much. Seeing him like this, everyone is very worried.
But at first everyone thought that as time passed, Wei Bo would be able to come out of the shadow, but who would have thought that this situation would become more serious in a year.
Over the course of a year, Wei Bai gradually became thinner.
Wei Shishi, who was still a little kid at the time, often saw the food being sent in and then brought out intact.
Eventually, it even developed to the point where he hardly ate and wouldn't even allow people into his room.
Everyone in the Wei family was very worried about Wei Bai's situation, so someone came up with an idea and asked Wei Bai's only remaining relative, little Wei Shishi, to deliver food to Wei Bai.
During this year, Wei Bai only smiled when he saw Wei Shishi.
At that time, only Wei Shishi was allowed to enter Wei Bo's room.
Of course, little Wei Shishi hoped that her grandfather would be well. Although she was so young at that time that she couldn't even hold a plate steadily, she still proudly said that she could do it.
The door was not locked. She brought the food to her grandfather's room and heard a strange sound coming from inside. Then, she heard Wei Bo's uncomfortable groan.
At that time, she was worried about her grandfather's safety, so she immediately threw away the food in her hand and pushed the door open.
Then she saw Wei Bo sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed, one arm on the bed, and gasping for breath.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you!" Wei Shishi was about to run up.
"...Shishi? Don't come over here!" Wei Bai scolded her directly, "Get out!"
At that time, little Wei Shishi had never been scolded so harshly by her grandfather. When she thought about the fact that she had come to bring food to her grandfather and was scolded like that, she burst into tears and turned around and ran away.
"That's the end of the story." Wei Shishi stopped talking.
"Huh? Where's the point?" Li Wenxi blinked. "Didn't you say you saw your grandfather's younger face? Was it at this time?"
"Yeah. I saw it at that time." Wei Shishi nodded.
"I was still young at the time and was frightened by my grandfather's words, so I turned around and ran away crying.
But thinking back on it, my grandfather's hair, which had been completely white due to my parents' death, had turned mostly black. And when he scolded me, his facial expression, while somewhat... ferocious, seemed to have few wrinkles on it.
"Wei Bai looked...very uncomfortable at that time?" Xu Ying suddenly asked.
"...I'm not entirely sure. I was only six at the time, so my memory isn't very clear. I think... he seemed weak and a bit nauseous. I remember that after he yelled at me, he immediately started retching."
After answering Xu Ying's question, Wei Shishi continued to recall: "I was crying outside at the time, and no one could comfort me. After about ten minutes, my grandfather came out to comfort me. At that time, his hair had turned white again, and his face was full of wrinkles."
"It's back to normal?" Li Wenxi said to himself.
"Disguise...?" Xu Ying also pondered for a moment.
She didn't know much about this, and when she first met Wei Bai, she couldn't see any signs of disguise on Wei Bai's face.
But in the eyes of her and Li Wenxi, Wei Bai did turn from a middle-aged man back into an old man within a day.
"Is there any water?" Wei Shishi felt a little dry in the mouth, not only because she talked too much, but also because her heart was beating like crazy at this moment.
Her grandfather...there's really something wrong with him.
"Yes." Xu Ying stood up and poured her a glass of water.
Wei Shishi took a sip of water and said, "I was very young at the time and didn't pay much attention to the changes in Grandpa's appearance. Although I have had good eyesight since I was a child and could see clearly, I thought it was an illusion.
After all... who can switch between youth and old age at will?"
As she spoke, Wei Shishi looked at Xu Ying.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me?" Xu Ying waved her hand when she saw Wei Shishi looking at her. "I can't just get older or younger. I'm just going to look like this."
"But... you can travel through time."
Wei Shishi took another sip of water and put the cup down. "Before I met you, I never imagined that humans could have such abilities. Especially after you told me about the teleportation device and the hypothesis that someone in the underground world had been replaced, I immediately thought of...Grandpa."
really.
At that time, Wei Shishi did blurt out that her grandfather's temperament had changed drastically.
"After that, I've been thinking about this matter all the time." Wei Shishi bit her lower lip, her eyes struggling, "Then, I became more and more suspicious of some of Grandpa's actions.
So, when Grandpa disappeared, I immediately used my authority and mobilized all the armed forces of the Wei family to search for Grandpa everywhere in the name of searching for the missing head of the Wei family."
"So that's how it is," Li Wenxi suddenly realized. "...I was wondering why you guys reacted so suddenly when Wei Bai disappeared, not even bothering to put the entire city on alert and panic, and even deploying massive amounts of military equipment for a blanket search."
