Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Distorted Space-Time
The simmering soup of lotus root, corn, and pork ribs was bubbling away, emitting hot steam.
Su Wan turned down the heat a little.
Clutching the kitchen knife in her hand, she asked, "Ajue, are you saying that I actually know the person in this drawing of yours?"
Gu Jue nodded.
Su Wan couldn’t help but laugh out of irritation, "I thought that you were someone who could never tell a lie, but now you’re actually trying to deceive me. Although I lay in the nutrition capsule for five years, my memory isn’t fragmented."
"I am absolutely certain that I don’t know anyone who looks so much like me!"
Realizing that his little wife’s thoughts had successfully veered off to the fringes of the universe,
Gu Jue, feeling helpless, said, "This is a long story. Shall we talk about it over dinner?"
Su Wan: "You still have the appetite to eat? Unless we clear this up today, I’d rather feed the meal to White Tiger than let you have it!"
White Tiger silently got up from the corner, looking pitiful.
"Madam, that comment seems like a personal attack. QAQ"
Before Su Wan could speak, Vermilion Bird stretched out its mechanical arm and grabbed White Tiger, flying him out.
As it flew away, it said, "It doesn’t matter, after all, you’re not human."
White Tiger: o(╥﹏╥)o.
Gu Jue sighed, turned off the stove completely, and then sat down on the couch, pulling his petite wife along by the hand.
He said, "Wanwan, my secret is related to yours."
Su Wan, wary, said, "What secret do I have? I’ve told you, nothing I haven’t told you would affect our love. I don’t have feelings for anyone else."
"But what about you!" She eyed the sketches mournfully.
The girl in them was smiling so happily!
Back then, she must have been smiling at Gu Jue, right?
The more she thought about it, the more it stung!
Gu Jue watched her jealous little expression with a mixture of fondness and exasperation.
Finally, he said, "Haven’t you noticed how familiar she looks?"
"Not familiar at all!"
"That’s you!"
Su Wan was startled; she looked into the serious depth of Gu Jue’s eyes, then picked up the sketches and examined them again.
Frowning, she said, "Commander Gu, do you think that just because you have a high Beast Transformation Level, you can fool me? The girl in these drawings is sixteen or seventeen years old. At that age, I was still lying in..."
Su Wan’s words trailed off abruptly, as if she had suddenly realized something and nearly bit her tongue!
Gu Jue bent down and kissed the tip of her nose, saying, "At that time, indeed, you were sixteen or seventeen, and then, you also had an Alaskan named Mi Xiu, right?"
The sketch paper in Su Wan’s hands slipped and fell to the ground.
Her beautiful pupils dilated in shock!
A tumultuous mix of immense surprise, confusion, and astonishment intertwined!
"How, how do you know about that?"
"You remember that I had some health problems during my childhood and had to spend a long time lying in the nutrition capsule, right?"
Su Wan nodded, "I remember."
Gu Jue said: "During that time, I would often have sporadic dreams. In those dreams, I saw scenes from Ancient Earth, and I experienced them from the perspective of an Alaskan."
"These drawings are what I made intermittently after I came out of the nutrition capsule."
Su Wan was truly so shocked that she didn’t know what to say!
Her transmigration to Ancient Earth was already incredibly baffling!
And the fact that Gu Jue could dream of snippets of her life on Ancient Earth was even more magical!
At this point, Su Wan no longer hid any secrets.
She said, "When I was twelve, I was traveling with my family when we were robbed by Star Thieves, and I was seriously injured. Afterwards, I fell into a coma and became a vegetable. During those five years of coma, I actually transmigrated into the body of a girl on Ancient Earth, who looked very much like me."
Indeed, the girl in Gu Jue’s sketches was indeed Su Wan at that time.
Su Wan: "The girl’s body was weak, she was very self-conscious and reclusive, believing herself to be stupid and unable to learn the family’s culinary skills, which was about to close down the restaurant. I used her body to diligently learn cooking and also utilized our Interstellar Era’s advanced technological knowledge to help her and her family revive their family restaurant from the brink of closure."
Five years later, as the restaurant expanded and was reopening, Su Wan was hit by a car.
When she woke up again, she was back in the healing pod of the Interstellar Era.
That was, Su Wan’s awakening at the age of eighteen.
"No, that’s not right!"
Su Wan looked at Commander Gu who was holding her fingers, confusion written all over her face.
"The timing doesn’t add up, right? How old were you when you were lying in the healing pod, I hadn’t even been born back then!"
It’s not just about Su Wan not being born yet.
Even her parents were barely old enough!
Gu Jue: "Right, the timelines don’t match, but have you considered that the very event of us meeting was already a confusion of space and time?"
"Confused space-time?"
"Yes."
When Gu Jue was in his teens, his superpower was too strong for his body to handle, so he spent most of his time before the age of eighteen lying in a medical pod.
At that time, Lin Ranyue and Su Zhen weren’t married yet, and Su Wan hadn’t been born.
This is why Gu Jue almost grew up with his nephew Gu Zilan, appearing to be about the same age.
Also, because of the peculiarities of his body, his appearance has mostly stayed around the age of twenty.
However, Gu Jue remembered the appearance of the girl from his dreams and sketched those images.
Then, in his thirties, leading the Interstellar Guard Corps, he rescued a civilian universe spaceship that was being robbed by Star Thieves.
He saved the twelve-year-old Su Wan.
At that moment, he recognized the little girl Su Wan as the girl from his dreams right away.
But here came the problem, their ages didn’t match up.
The girl from his dreams had aged from twelve to around seventeen or eighteen.
But the little Su Family girl he saved was only about twelve or thirteen.
After that, Gu Jue always secretly provided assistance to the Su Family’s restaurant, guarding over the little girl named Su Wan in the shadows.
Even though she was constantly lying in a healing pod.
Today, Su Wan was shocked for the second time, "So, Mr. G is also you?!"
The thought that she had once made durian cupcakes and sent one to Mr. Cold and another to Mr. G, and then assertively made Ajue eat one...
Her feelings were a billion kinds of complicated.
Gu Jue’s eyes were calm, but he tightened his grip on his petite wife’s hand, an action that betrayed his concern.
"Wanwan, I didn’t mean to deceive you. At that time, I just wanted to take care of you, to help you. But I had no identity to do so, so I had to fabricate a Mr. G."
As she pieced together the cause and effect, Su Wan found it easier to understand the appearance of Mr. G.
However...
She lifted her head and looked seriously at Commander Gu, asking a very critical question.
"Then, when exactly did you start to fall for me?"
