After sending everyone back to the Jiang family ancestral hall, Tang Jian said goodbye to them, and drove to another city as promised before.

As for Gong Chen, it was still the same, he had a meal with them, and by the way, he packed some food for his wife, who couldn't cook, and went back.

After the dishes and chopsticks on the table were cleaned up, Father Ann suggested that it was not too early, and everyone should go to bed early. If there's anything you want to talk about, you might as well save it for tomorrow.

Regarding the priest's proposal, Yu Siqi naturally raised his hands in approval.

After all, it is indeed easy for people to get sleepy after they have eaten enough.

However, just when Siqi was about to go back to his room to sleep, Xie Baozhen stopped him.

"You've got to take a shower before you can sleep, and I don't want my freshly washed sheets to get dirty again."

"Why can the priest just go back to sleep?"

Yu Siqi looked at Father An, who walked straight by his side, and asked.

"Because I didn't even plan to sleep, silly boy." Father Ann glanced back at him, holding the ornament in his hand, and said, "I probably won't be able to sleep in a bed until I figure out how to release Sister Leila." ”

"I can also sleep on the sofa without sleeping in the bed."

Yu Siqi originally planned to say this, but when he saw that Xie Chonggui had turned on the TV and watched his favorite variety show as usual, he chose to shut up.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower."

Yu Siqi finally changed his words, and Xie Baozhen also nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Go ahead, just throw the clothes in the basin." I'll help you get them in the washing machine when I've cleaned the kitchen. ”

Following Xie Baozhen's instructions, Yu Siqi came to the shower room. Normally, he would have taken off his clothes, stood directly under the shower and rinsed off.

But this time, he stared at the bathtub next to him.

After filling the hot water inside, Yu Siqi carefully lay in. The feeling of comfort that had never been felt before was almost the moment his skin touched the hot water.

But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't mean that Siqi completely relaxed his body and mind and experienced the fun of bathing.

He subconsciously noticed that something didn't seem right.

As the whirlpool that appeared out of thin air continued to spread in the bathtub, Yu Siqi hurriedly climbed out of the bathtub.

But who would have thought that the water in the bathtub seemed to come to life, and completely swallowed him in it wave after wave.

Then, Yu Siqi felt as if he had been washed away in the pipe, and he couldn't help moving forward.

The whole process lasted until Yu Siqi was about to vomit when his head hit the ground first.

There is no such thing as a hard object hitting your head, just a soft and comfortable cushion. Immediately after, Yu Siqi saw a pair of clear eyes looking at him.

"Is that you?"

After noticing that someone was looking at him, Yu Siqi hurriedly looked left and right looking for something to cover his body. As a result, in his panic, he found that he had already put on his clothes, which was really strange.

"I didn't scare you, did I?"

Ge Man reached out to help Siqi up, and also helped him comb his messy hair.

"Not really, it's just why are you and why I'm here?"

Yu Siqi said a little incoherently.

"Probably because of it."

Ge Man casually took out something from Yu Siqi's pocket, which was the pocket watch that Ge You gave him.

"Didn't I put this pocket watch with my clothes before?"

After Yu Siqi saw this scene, he felt a little unbelievable.

"You also said it was 'before', but what if 'before' overlapped with 'now'?"

Ge Man looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said.

"You mean, my current self is actually an overlap with my previous self?"

Yu Siqi was slightly surprised.

"It's understandable, but it may be a little difficult for you right now. Well, I'll give you an analogy. If you think that the timeline when you didn't take off your clothes and still have a pocket watch in your pocket is considered to be 1. So you, who are meeting me now, are the mirror axes derived from 1. It doesn't follow the transition from 1 to 2 at all, which means that it actually ignores the basic concept that time is progressive for some reason.

Of course, you can't be blamed for that. After all, the influence of this thing is still quite large, especially for novices. ”

Ge Man turned around and began to lead Yu Siqi towards a place.

"It's really influential, and I agree with that." Online eBooks

Yu Siqi thought of Ge You's experience and nodded.

At this time, Ge Man took Yu Siqi to an extremely unpretentious room. The whole room was made of green bricks, and there was only a stone table and a straw mat spread on the floor.

"Welcome to the Humble House, please sit casually."

After a brief introduction, Ge Man placed the pocket watch on the table. Then he looked back at Yu Siqi, and his eyes showed some emotions that he had never felt before.

After a brief exchange of glances, Ge Man was the first to speak, "I know that maybe I shouldn't have questioned you like this, but the holder of this pocket watch means a lot to me. So if it's convenient, I'd like you to be able to explain to me a little bit how you got it. Please! ”

"It was given to me by your son Ge You. He asked me to pass it on to you, saying he wanted you to fix it. ”

In the face of Ge Man's question, Yu Siqi unreservedly told him a series of experiences of going to the transit station and meeting Ge You.

"So, is he still running his own watch shop? It's really persistent! ”

Ge Man, who was still with a different color, had a little joy in his eyes after listening to the story shared by Yu Siqi.

"You didn't tell me before, you're a watchmaker!"

Yu Siqi said.

"That's all in the past. Now I am just a servant of time. ”

Ge Man refocused on the pocket watch and began to completely disassemble it in front of Yu Siqi. It's hard to imagine that with just his fingernails and fingers, this rather delicate pocket watch has been 'dismantled' by Ge Man.

"Can it be fixed?"

Yu Siqi asked.

"It's not a problem to fix it, it's a question of what happens after it's fixed, and I'm still thinking about it."

Ge Man raised his head and said.

"Are you worried about your son?"

Yu Siqi asked tentatively.

"Am I not an incompetent father in your opinion?"

Ge Man didn't answer Yu Siqi's question, but turned to him and asked him another question.

"Is it appropriate for you to ask someone who doesn't know you well to make such an assessment?"

Yu Siqi said.

"It's really not quite right. I'm sorry I ignored it. ”

Ge Man lowered his head again and began to make some delicate adjustments to the inside of the pocket watch.

"Why didn't you take him with you in the first place? Let's say, let him serve time with you or something. ”

Yu Siqi noticed that the current atmosphere was a little awkward, so he tried to find the so-called topic.

"He doesn't like it here."

Ge Man said without raising his head.

"But from my personal point of view, it's obviously much better than a transit station."

Yu Siqi said.

He didn't think so. I think maybe it was because I was too strict with him at the time. After Ge Man assembled the pocket watch, he stuffed it into Yu Siqi's hand and said, "It's repaired." ”

"That's it?"

Yu Siqi looked at the pocket watch in his hand, with a shocked look on his face.

"yes, it's over." Ge Man patted Yu Siqi on the shoulder and said, "I give you this pocket watch, I hope you can use it well." ”

"It won't make me young or old, will it?"

Yu Siqi is still a little concerned about the side effects it can have.

"Of course not, it's already been fixed by me. If you don't believe me, you can move the pointer forward. ”

Ge Man smiled and said.

After Yu Siqi did so, he found that time around him was going backwards. Soon, he woke up from the bathtub.

Just as he was about to get up from the bathtub, Yu Siqi unexpectedly found that not far from him, Xie Baozhen was looking at himself angrily and said, "Are you going to sleep in the bathtub until dawn?" ”
