After the fake daughter's inner thoughts were revealed, the five brothers panicked

[This person is the villain, not Xie Zhi. ]

Jiang Jinran stared at Xie Jingci's deep face, and a sour and melancholy fog seemed to surge in his heart.

"It seems that I recognized the wrong person." Realizing that the man in front of him was not the person in his memory, Jiang Jinran lowered his eyes slightly, with a dark color in his eyes.

The gloomy look flashed away, and she immediately pulled the corners of her lips, with a calm smile on her face, "Sorry to bother you."

Jiang Jinran turned around and tugged at Jiang Shiyan's sleeve, "Brother, since you have to see a patient today, I'll come see you another day."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Jiang Shiyan grabbed Jiang Jinran's wrist.

Jiang Jinran was forced to stop as he felt a tightening force at his wrist bones.

"Xiao Ran," Jiang Shiyan's eyebrows slightly frowned, a hint of doubt flashed across his deep eyes, but his voice was as gentle as always, "Xie Zhi, who is this?"

Jiang Jinran didn't expect that he would ask it so directly.

She pursed her lips and tried to lie, "Nothing Xie Zhi... You heard it wrong."

Jiang Shiyan, however, was unwilling to give in. "Just now, you mistook my patient for Xie Zhi, didn't you? When you first spoke, you clearly called him Xie Zhi..."

Jiang Jinran's expression froze for a moment.

Then she lowered her eyes and fell into a long silence.

Jiang Shiyan saw this and suddenly explained gently, "I don't want to force you to explain anything...it's just that when you mentioned the name Xie Zhi, your expression didn't seem very good."

"I'm a little worried." Jiang Shiyan's voice was like the drizzle in spring, gentle and delicate, yet with the power to soothe people's hearts.

Jiang Jinran's heart suddenly felt warm.

"Brother, I'm fine." She shook her head quickly, with a slight arc at the corner of her lips, "Thank you for helping him..."

When mentioning this name, Jiang Jinran couldn't help but glance at Xie Jingci who was sitting not far away.

The man was like a temperatureless robot. No expression could be seen on his face. He sat there as if in a trance, his eyes frighteningly dark.

Xie Zhi would not have such an expression.

[Perhaps, I really made a mistake. ]

"I have known Xie Zhi for a long time," Jiang Jinran confessed, "He and my brother's patient——"

“Looks a bit like him.”

"Looks a bit like him?" Jiang Shiyan raised his eyebrows subconsciously, "What a coincidence."

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Jiang Jinran echoed in a murmur, as if he was talking to himself.

-

Jiang Jinran left the hospital where Jiang Shiyan was.

She still carried her bag, but did not immediately hail a taxi. Instead, she walked aimlessly on the busy street.

What happened today was quite a shock to her.

How can there be two people who look so alike...

Except for his expression and temperament, that person was almost exactly like Xie Zhi.

Even their body shapes and figures were unusually similar.

For a moment, she thought—

Xie Zhi also traveled through time.

Xie Zhi is not a character in a book, but a living person in the real world.

He belongs to the world before Jiang Jinran traveled through the book, and belongs to the memories of Jiang Jinran's previous life.

Jiang Jinran didn't know how long he had been walking on the road——

Until the sun sets and night falls, and then she is surrounded by gorgeous neon lights.

Jiang Jinran raised her head and quietly watched the bright and prosperous city, but her eyes were sore.

For the first time, she began to miss her life before she traveled through the book.

She also missed Xie Zhi.
