Chapter 693 Extra - He's Not Retreating from the World
Chen Ci pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."
Fang Tong let out a long sigh of relief: "Mm."
The two began washing the dishes in silence again. Chen Ci felt guilty and didn't ask any more questions. Fang Tong's feelings also became complicated, so she didn't say anything either.
If the scene just now was Chen Ci and Shu Tong's memory, then why did the same scene appear in her mind again?
Based on all the previous questions.
She carefully put the bowl away on the shelf, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Dr. Chen, what kind of person is Shu Tong? Or, does she like cosplay?"
cosplay?
Chen Ci looked at her: "Why do you ask that?"
Fang Tong wanted an answer, so she didn't hide anything and said directly, "I saw a painting in the basket in your study before. The woman in the painting looks exactly like me, except she's in ancient costume. She must be Shu Tong."
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "Yes, but she doesn't like cosplay. She wears ancient costumes because she belongs to that era."
"Huh?" Fang Tong didn't understand: "From which era? Then why do you know her?"
Chen Ci washed his hands and stood silently in front of the stove for a while before deciding to tell him the whole story: "Do you believe in time travel?"
Fang Tong shook his head: "I don't quite agree with the rationale behind this, but if you say you've experienced it, I'm not entirely unable to believe you. After all, there are too many secrets in this world that we don't know."
Chen Ci pondered for a moment, then said frankly, "Due to some coincidence, I accidentally entered the era of Shu Tong, and later I returned by another coincidence..."
"So she didn't come back with us?" Fang Tong guessed.
Chen Ci nodded: "Yes... she couldn't come back."
Fang Tong thought for a moment and suddenly understood the story of the princess and prince that Chen Ci had told Fang Miao before.
Then, belatedly, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Shu Tong is from ancient times, so why does she, a modern person, frequently have dreams, memories, and flashbacks of ancient times?
She is clearly not Shu Tong, so why does she have those strange memories?
Could it be...?
She felt a cold sweat break out on her back, and a possibility came to mind.
Could it be that Shu Tong also returned to the modern world by some coincidence, or more precisely, only Shu Tong's memories or soul returned, as she needs to rely on a medium to exist?
For example, her.
That's why she has memories that belong to Shu Tong.
Observing that Fang Tong's expression was not good, Chen Ci sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, perhaps what I'm saying will make you feel uncomfortable. I can only say that I'm not lying to you, but you also have the right to remain skeptical."
Fang Tong smiled and didn't say anything more.
After all, she herself didn't know what to say.
Admitting to having strange dreams? Seeing strange images?
That would only make Chen Ci more conflicted.
At least for now, she doesn't know what exactly happened.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Ci took Fang Tong to the yard to look after the herbs that Uncle Ren had planted. They watered them, picked them, and explained the characteristics of each herb to Chen Ci.
Fang Tong listened to a lot of it and couldn't help but marvel at the profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine.
"If Uncle Ren were in Qing City, he would surely be a great doctor who benefits the local people. Why did he choose to stay in the mountains?"
“Besides treating the villagers in the mountains, he was also doing his own research,” Chen Ci explained. “And most of the time he was traveling around.”
Fang Tong thought for a moment: "Like a reclusive divine physician from ancient times."
Chen Ci sighed softly: "He's not avoiding the world, he's looking for someone."
