Inside the study, two insects sat facing each other, and the steam from the two cups of tea on the coffee table had dissipated.

They were so quiet they could hear each other breathing.

"Are you telling the truth?" Jiang Mian's mind was still a little dazed, especially when he heard about the original owner of the body, Jiang Xu.

"Hmm." Jiang Xu responded with a somber face, his hands resting on his thighs, his fingers interlocked. "I don't know when I'll lose consciousness next time. And then the original Jiang Xu will reappear."

Perhaps, the next time I sleep, or the next time I faint.

Previously, he had vaguely felt that his body was out of control, and now it seemed that the original Jiang Xu was about to regain consciousness.

Jiang Mian sighed and added some hot water to the cooled tea: "How is he now?"

"He was conscious when I came out," Jiang Xu said. "I probed him, and his memory did indeed stop after I arrived."

"So, it's now a matter of rotation instead of you controlling the body?" Jiang Mian was a bit confused when he said this.

I'm actually quite relieved, since my own grandson is still alive. But one body, two souls—isn't that a bit supernatural?

How am I supposed to explain this to the other insects?

Compared to Jiang Xu's situation, he suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that he had arrived as an egg.

The two insects inside fell silent again, neither of them speaking.

The situation is somewhat complicated.

Jiang Xu thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Mian solemnly: "I hope you can cover for me during the next few days."

Jiang Mian glanced at him for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

After a long pause, he continued, "How do you plan to resolve this?"

Jiang Xu remained silent. He couldn't solve this problem. Whether it was dealing with the original Jiang Xu or dealing with himself, it seemed to be a dead end.

But he didn't want to hurt anyone.

The original owner was Jiang Mian's blood-related grandson, and no matter what, this relationship cannot be removed.

He had received Jiang Mian's care for many years, yet he still couldn't complete the story.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Mian thought, "Perhaps we can find a way to send you back to the human world."

He remembered that every time Jiang Xu returned, it was in his original body, which meant that Jiang Xu's body was on Blue Star.

If they go back, they won't have to fight for control of the body anymore, and they'll have to choose one of two options: disappear.

Jiang Xu was well aware that this was the best approach, but also the worst one.

He wasn't reluctant to give up the Zerg's status.

Jiang Xu sighed and looked up at the sky outside the window.

The image of Fei Tong acting coquettishly and shyly calling him "Master" flashed through his mind, and he felt an irresistible urge to let go.

Jiang Mian knew what he meant from his reaction: "I know you can't bear to part with Xiao Fei and Xiao Yi."

He took a deep breath and said heavily, "You haven't been changing the main controller too frequently yet, so we can look for other methods in the meantime."

Jiang Mian knew that these words were just meant to comfort him.

"What if one day I suddenly disappear?"

Before Jiang Xu could finish the second half of his sentence, an insect landed on his head.

Jiang Mian rubbed his head: "No, you won't disappear. The worst outcome is that you'll be sent out of the Zerg and back into your original body."

It is both the best and the worst method.

"I might switch places with Jiang Xu at any time, so to avoid trouble, Xiao Yi will stay with the Jiang family." Jiang Xu thought for a moment, then continued:

"If, unfortunately, I am sent back, you must take good care of them, father and son."

Tell your grandson not to act recklessly.

He seemed to have already encountered the worst possible outcome, after all, he was able to come here because of a mysterious time travel.

Once we go back, returning to the Zerg might not be as easy as it is now.

However, Jiang Xu raised his hand and touched the beauty mark under the corner of his eye.

So what's going on here?

Does the connection he previously suspected between himself and the original owner still exist?

Or are they already competitors, as they are now?

"Don't worry." Jiang Mian glanced at him. "What you should be thinking about now is how to talk to your female insect."

He paused for two seconds, then said, "I heard he went to the west. Given your situation, do you think you can wait for him to return?"

Jiang Xu looked up and stared straight at him. The fact that the two insects went to the west was a secret, and only a few insects knew about it.

But then he thought about the reason why the insect married him, and he could understand that they had their own reasons.

"Hey, your grandson is much colder than I imagined," Jiang Xu said inexplicably, changing the subject away from the heavy topic.

"Hmm?" Jiang Mian didn't have much memory of this grandson. If he had to say something, it would be that when he was a child, he would hug his leg and cry silently whenever the grandson came to visit.

His stubborn little face was exactly the same as when he found Jiang Xu.

He couldn't understand why, when they were children, they had two completely different faces, yet they grew up to look so remarkably alike.

"Are you two the same person?" Jiang Mian suddenly asked, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

Jiang Xu remained silent, then gently shook his head: "I've considered this before, but don't forget, I still have a grandmother."

When Jiang Mian found him, he was about four or five years old, and he had his own father, mother, and maternal grandmother.

However, he was too young, and his parents died in an accident, leaving him as the only survivor. He was then sent to an orphanage.

When he grew older, he somehow ended up in a desolate mountain. He came down the mountain alone and met Jiang Mian on the winding mountain road.

Of course, he didn't have this memory; these memories were only discovered later when his grandmother found him, and Jiang Mian sent people to investigate.

Only then did he realize why Jiang Mian had found him.

"That's true," Jiang Mian replied.

Moreover, Jiang Xu is living a good life among the Zerg, so how could they be the same Zerg?

Then, what you fear most will come to pass. Jiang Xu stared at the void, his forehead covered in black lines.

He was just about to say goodbye to Jiang Mian in the study when his consciousness suddenly lightened, and when he opened his eyes, he was face to face with the original Jiang Xu again.

His expression was somewhat complicated. Had this body begun to reject his soul?

The original Jiang Xu did not get up, remaining seated on the ground, looking up at the newly appeared Jiang Xu and asking, "You said before that you were also named Jiang Xu?"

Jiang Xu squatted down, looking directly at the other person; their two identical faces gazed at each other.

"Yes," Jiang Xu said, "Jiang Mian, your grandfather, is also my grandfather."

"You grew up with your grandfather since you were little?" The original Jiang Xu looked at Jiang Xu like this, his cold face expressionless, his tone containing a little doubt, but not strongly.

"Yes." Jiang Xu sat down, supporting himself on the ground. "I know many things are beyond your imagination. But my presence here undoubtedly proves that I am telling the truth."

"I just think it's a bit absurd." The original Jiang Xu looked back.

The word "absurd" perfectly captures his current mood.
