Even after fighting Dong Lijia and Deng Chenfei in a row, Dong Xinxin wasn't out of breath or sweating at all. She turned and sat down on the couch while speaking, "Didn't you ask me why I know about the apocalypse already? It's because I'm from seven years in the future, after a rebirth. I've died once, because of him!"
While speaking, she pointed at Luo Yuanjun, who was now utterly shocked and confused.
"Wh-what? You died? Rebirth? Seven years in the future? Fat Ball, you didn't have your brain damaged, did you?" Luo Yuanjun gave a start and said to her with disbelief.
"Without those seven years, where do you think I learned all these from? Why do you think I lost weight? Also, if you call me Fat Ball again, I'll turn your other eye black. You can give it a try," Dong Xinxin stared at Luo Yuanjun and said.
At the point, Deng Chenfei already believed eighty percent of what Dong Xinxin and Dong Lijia said. He wore a slight frown that was rarely seen on his expressionless face, and fell into thoughts. He walked back to his seat and sat down, then looked at Dong Xinxin.
"So, what do you mean by you and him dying together? Are you saying that you now have extra seven years of memory and experience?"
Dong Xinxin nodded, said, "Yes. My superpower is special, so I came back. Hm… brother…"
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly closed her eyes and furrowed her brows as she raised a hand to support her head, seeming very uncomfortable. Both Luo Yuanjun and Deng Chenfei were surprised to see that. Unlike them, Dong Lijia nodded calmly and said, "Hm, I get it."
As he said that, Dong Xinxin abruptly leaned against the back of the couch and stopped moving.
"Wh-what's happening to her now?" Luo Yuanjun dropped his hand which was covering one of his eyes as he looked at Dong Xinxin and asked that question while blinking that injured eye of his. Deng Chenfei turned to Dong Lijia as well.
"Oh, it's nothing," Dong Lijia responded to them, "It's just a daily thing. Her body is switching owners."
"Switching owners?" Deng Chenfei squinted at him with confusion.
"Yeah, what does that mean?" Luo Yuanjun looked at Dong Lijia, also confusedly, then at Dong Xinxin.
At that moment, Dong Xinxin slowly opened her eyes and sat up. Seeing Dong Lijia's nose, she smiled and said, "Xinxin hit you much harder than I did." After saying that, she raised a hand and clenched her fist, "But this time, she stayed for a longer time after the fight than she did the last time."
"Yeah, she did stay a little longer than the last time," Dong Lijia nodded in agreement.
Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun had just received a massive amount of new information, which caused their brains to work a little unwell at the moment. Hearing the conversation between Dong Lijia and his sister, they were once again confused.
Dong Xinxin seemed to have suddenly changed. Her tone of speaking became weird. She called her own name as if she were talking about someone else, but she made that sound natural. The ones who heard her felt truly strange. Dong Lijia's attitude toward her was also different. He seemed to be talking to someone else, and not his sister.
The one who woke up this time was, of course, not Dong Xinxin, but Lin Wenwen. She stood up and looked at Dong Lijia as she said, "Alright, I'm going upstairs. You guys carry on… Ooh…"
As she prepared to walk upstairs, her eyes scanned across Deng Chenfei. At that very moment, an image suddenly popped in her head.
"Wen!" Seeing that Lin Wenwen nearly fell, Dong Lijia gave a start and sprung up from the couch.
Lin Wenwen only felt a little dizzy but didn't fall. She stopped moving and sat down as she closed her eyes. In the meantime, she raised a hand toward Dong Lijia and said, "I'm fine… Don't worry."
With her eyes closed, she focused on that image in her head. She saw Deng Chenfei in it and some other people, who weren't supposed to be together with him.
The image was moving. She heard Deng Chenfei talking to another person. "That was what we saw. It was too dangerous, so we didn't manage to get close enough… I'm really sorry!" He said.
While speaking, Deng Chenfei's cold face actually wore a look of guilt. The one standing in front of him was no one else but Lin Wenwen's big brother, Lin Feng.
Lin Feng seemed agitated. He suddenly put both hands on Deng Chenfei's shoulders as he stared at the latter with red eyes and said, "Are they still alive? You did nothing wrong. You don't need to apologize to me. I just want to know if they were still alive when you saw them the last time."
Deng Chenfei nodded and said something.
This time, Lin Wenwen couldn't hear what he said, and the image soon faded.
Abruptly, she opened her eyes, then turned and stared straight at Deng Chenfei. She wanted to know what exactly was happening to Lin Feng and Deng Chenfei in that image she saw, and what they were talking about. However, when she looked at Deng Chenfei again, nothing emerged from her mind.
What was that? What did Deng Chenfei see? Why was her brother so nervous and agitated? What happened?
"Wen, are you okay?" Dong Lijia looked at her and asked. He saw her stare at Deng Chenfei, as if something serious had just happened.
Earlier, Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun watched Dong Xinxin suddenly become like another person. They were already confused. And now, hearing Dong Lijia call her Wen instead of Xinxin, the two of them honestly felt as if their brains had stopped working.
"I'm fine…" Lin Wenwen spent a short while looking at Deng Chenfei. After confirming that no other image would occur, she turned her eyes away with disappointment.
"Wait… Seriously, what are you guys doing here?" Luo Yuanjun gave up on trying to figure things out by himself. Instead, he asked the question out loud.
"Oh, she's not Xinxin. Let me introduce her to you guys. She's Wen, the other… um, soul that exists in Xinxin's body. We don't know her real name, identity, or age. I think she's a year older than I am. She's a girl too. She came from the future together with Xinxin," Dong Lijia introduced Lin Wenwen to his two friends.
Seven years ago, Lin Wenwen was twenty-one, one year older than Dong Lijia, who was twenty.
"Oh, I think I'm gonna lose my mind. What on earth is happening to this world? Why do I feel that all I've heard and seen today isn't real?" At last, Luo Yuanjun looked at the ceiling and gave up on thinking about anything that had something to do with Dong Lijia and his sister.
Deng Chenfei looked at Dong Lijia and said expressionlessly, "The apocalypse, rebirth, seven extra years of memory, and now another soul… Your sister is such a magical being…"
Even as an aloof and cold person, he, at that point, couldn't help but complain!
