The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinrui glanced at the man outside the door with a strange look. Why did her brother seem so odd today?

Gu Heng looked up and said subconsciously, "It's nothing... I just came back to get something."

Gu Heng's mind was a mess, so he made up a reason for himself.

It seems that no one knows about his sudden disappearance.

Looking at Gu Qinrui's normal expression, Gu Heng had a thought: someone had replaced him... and taken over his life.

Gu Heng suspected that this matter must be related to the 'pregnant female' he had seen.

"No wonder," Gu Qinrui muttered, then stepped aside to let the person outside in.

It had been almost a year since I last saw Gu Qinrui, and she hadn't changed much. She still had an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, and the childishness between her brows had faded. She was getting prettier and prettier.

Gu Heng walked towards the bedroom with his head down; his room was the last one at the end of the corridor.

A snap.

Gu Heng pushed open the door. The room was simply furnished, with only black and white as the main colors, and a small bookshelf full of books in the corner.

Everything seems the same, yet something seems to have changed.

He leaned against the door, his eyelashes drooping, casting a deep shadow.

Gu Heng didn't stay long.

When Gu Qinrui saw Gu Heng come out, she looked at his empty hands with a puzzled expression. "Brother, did you get your things?"

Gu Heng didn't say much, just nodded in agreement, "I got it."

"Oh." Gu Qinrui glanced at him, then looked away and sat on the sofa to watch TV.

The only sounds in the air were the voices of the actors on the television and Gu Heng's footsteps, neither too loud nor too soft.

With a shoving sound, the door was pushed open more than halfway.

Gu Heng gripped the doorknob, glanced back, and his gaze lingered on Gu Qinrui's profile.

She was watching TV with extreme concentration.

Gu Heng didn't even realize when he had spoken. Coming to his senses, he had already asked, "Xiao Rui, how are your studies going lately?"

"After watching TV for a while, remember to finish your homework. Don't stay up late to do it at night."

Gu Qinrui likes watching variety shows, so she always leaves her homework to the last minute, procrastinating and never finishing it until the very last moment.

"Stop, stop, stop—"

Gu Qinrui, sitting in front of the TV, covered her ears with her hands and said, on the verge of tears, "Seriously, brother? I'm in college now, and you're still treating me like a child."

"University students don't have that much homework."

Gu Qinrui muttered under her breath, feeling unconvinced. Her brother hadn't disciplined her like he did when they were kids for a long time, so why was he suddenly starting to discipline her again today?

Gu Heng tightened his grip on the doorknob, his fingertips turning slightly white from the force. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What year are you in college now?"

"Freshman year," Gu Qinrui looked the person at the door suspiciously up and down, then clutched her chest with a heartbroken expression and said, "Brother, you don't even remember this? Am I really your biological sister?"

"Next semester, I'll be a sophomore."

Gu Qinrui's few words contained a wealth of information.

When he transmigrated to the Zerg realm, Gu Qinrui was still in high school. How did she suddenly go to university so quickly?

Gu Heng forgot what he said last. After closing the door, he went downstairs absentmindedly.

Time flows at different rates in the two worlds.

Gu Heng came to this conclusion.

He didn't know how long he stood downstairs, he only saw his parents go home one after the other.

Gu Heng stood behind a tree, only able to watch the two figures gradually disappear into the distance until they were completely out of sight.

He was also on his way home from get off work.

A man who looks exactly like Gu Heng.

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at the figure for a long time.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a replica of Gu Heng.

If Gu Heng stood in front of "him", he would feel like he was looking in a mirror.

The man carried a pure black briefcase, his steps were steady, and even his slightest movements were exactly like Gu Heng's.

This briefcase usually contained Gu Heng's lesson plans and textbooks needed for class.

As the man slowly approached, Gu Heng noticed a sudden abnormality in his body.

His hands are gradually becoming transparent.

Gu Heng: ?!

Gu Heng looked down and saw a ring of starlight climbing up his arm, turning everything it passed through transparent.

What's going on here...?

Gu Heng reached out and touched the tree beside him, only to find his hand... had passed right through the trunk?

Doubt filled Gu Heng's entire chest.

To test his theory, he walked up to a passerby and waved. The person showed no unusual expression, as if he hadn't seen him at all.

Gu Heng tried to pat the person's shoulder, but his hand missed and he didn't touch anything.

Gu Heng stared at his transparent body for half a second, then followed behind 'him'.

He went upstairs, stopped at the door, felt in his pocket, took out his key, and opened the door.

Gu's mother came out of the kitchen, peeked in, and asked, "Xiao Heng is back?"

A familiar voice came from behind him, and Gu Heng opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to respond.

A voice spoke even before him, "Yes, Mom."

It was Gu Heng who spoke.

Gu Heng's back was stiff. He stood in the dark corner, more like his own shadow.

As she took off her apron, Gu's mother called out to Gu Heng, "The food is ready, come and eat."

"it is good."

"Brother's back." Gu Qinrui said as she walked out of the room to the figure at the dining table.

Gu Qinrui walked to the restaurant, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

When Gu Heng saw her, his heart suddenly jumped. He had gone home that afternoon... What if Gu Qinrui suddenly brought it up at the dinner table? Wouldn't that be a huge problem?

He must be very suspicious and confused...

The four people were enjoying their meal together at the table, having a pleasant time.

Gu Heng stood alone not far away, watching.

He felt a tightness in his chest, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

The only thing he could be thankful for was that Gu Qinrui didn't mention what happened that afternoon.

Today, Aunt Gu made her favorite braised pork trotters. She buried her head in her rice, her mouth full, and didn't seem to have time to talk.
