The seasons in the two worlds are almost synchronized, and both have entered the threshold of the beginning of autumn.

Although it is the beginning of autumn, the temperature is still high, as if nature is still retaining a trace of summer warmth for this time of "fighting for autumn".

There is a peculiar kind of dryness in the air, making it difficult for people to fully feel the coolness of autumn.

Fortunately, during the day, the sky finally blessed us with a rain that fell like a sweet dew on the earth.

This rain not only moistened the earth, but also brought a rare coolness at night.

After taking a shower, Gu Ranle changed into a light short-sleeved shirt and shorts, looking refreshed.

She walked down the stairs with brisk steps, as if every step was on soft clouds.

In the kitchen, the aroma of mushroom soup and scallion pancakes intertwined together like a beautiful melody, floating in the air, arousing people's infinite appetite.

Gu Ranle took a deep breath, and the fragrance seemed to penetrate directly into her heart. She swallowed unconsciously and secretly sighed in her heart: This smell is so tempting!

Gu Ranle was in a particularly good mood after returning home.

She hummed a little tune and walked briskly towards the kitchen, looking forward to the delicious food she was about to enjoy.

Just then, Gu Xiaohei, who had just taken a shower and exuded a fragrant smell, swaggered in from outside.

It seemed to be looking forward to dinner.

Gu Ranle saw it, beckoned to it, and said with a smile: "Come, evil beast, come to the master."

Gu Xiaohei stopped and bared his teeth at her, looking quite fierce.

Gu Ranle knew in her heart that this guy should be able to understand what she said.

But unfortunately, she couldn't understand its "dog talk" now.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't want to come, forget it. I'm going to eat soon. You can just smell the smell outside the restaurant."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaohei immediately put away his teeth and ran towards her, wagging his tail.

It opened its mouth, stuck out its tongue, and drooled, looking flattering, as if saying, "Master, I was wrong, let me in and eat."

Gu Ranle looked at it and couldn't help but chuckled. "Oh! You are quite flexible, but I hold grudges very much. What should I do?"

Gu Xiaohei rolled his eyes at her.

At this time, grandpa's full-throated voice came from the kitchen, "Come in and serve the food!"

"I'm coming!"

Gu Ranle ignored Gu Xiaohei and strode into the kitchen.

Gu Jiu handed her the fried scallion pancake.

The pancake was golden and crispy, the size of a medium plate, and there were six of them in total. Just looking at them made one's appetite increase.

After Gu Ranle received it, he took one and took a bite, and a satisfied smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Mmm, smells good! Master, your cooking skills have improved again! I give you a thumbs up!"

She walked out of the kitchen while eating the cake.

At this time, Gu Xiaohei was wagging his tail and waiting at the door with eager eyes. He looked both pitiful and cute.

Gu Ranle looked at it and teased it deliberately, saying, "Want to eat? I won't give it to you!"

"Xiao Hei, quickly bring in your rice bowl and prepare to serve the rice!" Gu Jiu's voice came slowly from the kitchen, with a bit of warmth and homeliness.

When Gu Xiaohei heard this, his tail wagged like a rattle and he turned around and ran towards the kennel.

That speed was faster than ever before.

After a while, it returned to the kitchen with the stainless steel rice bowl in its mouth, looking very proud.

He gently placed the food bowl on the ground, and then rubbed his head back and forth on Gu Jiu's trouser legs, as if to say, "Master, I will be good, please give me something delicious."

"We're having tomato mushroom soup and scallion pancakes tonight. I've cooked radish and meat especially for you. Remember to eat all the radish."

As Gu Jiu spoke, he poured all of Gu Xiaohei's dinner into the rice bowl, filling it up completely.

Gu Xiaohei was drooling as he looked at the delicious food in front of him.

But just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he was burned and grimaced. His expression was so funny.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu gently kicked it aside with his foot, saying with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Did your head get squeezed by the door? How dare you eat it right out of the pot? Let it cool down before eating, otherwise you will burn your dog mouth."

Gu Ranle was eating scallion pancake on the side, looking at Gu Xiaohei with a sidelong glance, a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master, you gave it meat. You should starve it for three days to teach it a lesson. See if it dares to run around on the road again next time."

Gu Jiu said unhappily, "I told you not to keep a dog, but you insisted on raising one. Now, besides cooking for other people, I have to cook for this dog every meal."

Gu Ranle stared at Gu Xiaohei with a smile, "It's not too late to drive it away now."

When Gu Xiaohei heard this, he shuddered all over and immediately raised his front paws to pull at Gu Jiu's trouser legs. His begging eyes seemed to say, "Master, please don't chase me away."

Gu Jiu sighed helplessly, "Since I have raised it, there is no reason to abandon it halfway. I can even afford to raise you, so why can't I afford to raise a dog?"

When Gu Xiaohei heard this, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes, as if he had found the most solid support in the world.

Gu Ranle picked up the mushroom soup on the stove and glanced at it.

"It's not a question of whether I can afford it or not. The main thing is that I don't like it now. How about keeping it for a while longer, and when winter comes, we can have dog meat hot pot?"

When Gu Xiaohei heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Gu Jiu followed Gu Ranle with his rice bowl and chopsticks in hand, and said slowly, "Sure, as long as you're willing to give it up, I have no problem with that."

"Woooo..."

Gu Xiaohei let out a low whimper, and his tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.

It knew very well that this woman must want to settle a score with it later.

Alas, women have the most vicious hearts!

Or, should it just run away from home?

But where can it go?

Over the past few years, its appetite has become very picky and it will no longer eat leftovers from the trash can.

Once it leaves, it will probably starve to death outside.

Woo woo woo, what should I do?

In the restaurant, Gu Ranle served Gu Jiu a bowl of fragrant mushroom soup.

"Master, how much do you know about Li Minghui?" Gu Ranle asked softly.

"I don't know. Today is the first time we meet." Gu Jiu shook his head slightly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

"Look at the residential complex where the Li family lives. The security measures are very strict. There are three security checks alone. It is obvious that the identities of the residents are not simple." Gu Ranle analyzed.

Gu Jiu shook his head again, "I don't know, I haven't paid attention to them before."

Gu Ranle in real life is much more low-key than described in the book.

Not only is she very low-key in her dealings with others, but she also almost never pays attention to the news. Neither the lively entertainment news nor the serious financial news catches her eye.

Her mind was completely focused on medicine.

Her personality made Gu Jiu feel both relieved and helpless.

It is gratifying that she is able to pursue her dream so focusedly.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have lost interest in everything except medicine, including this complex society and the connections and relationships that might help her.

This is also an important reason why Gu Jiu specially arranged for her to treat the patient after seeing the patient.

He hoped that she could interact with more people and take part in more social activities instead of just burying her head in reading and studying all day.

She is 25 years old and still hasn't had a boyfriend. This really makes Gu Jiu worried.

In Gu Jiu's opinion, it doesn't matter whether Gu Ranle gets married or not in this life. What's important is that she should have a relationship while she is young so that she can know that in addition to eating, drinking, defecating and studying medicine, there are many other wonderful things waiting for her to experience in life.

"Don't you know how to use the Internet? You can check it online." said Gu Jiu.

Gu Ranle finished a scallion pancake, picked up another one, and said in a light tone: "That's a waste of time."

"I see the way you look at Li Xiuneng. Have you seen it before?" Gu Jiu asked this while staring at Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle was stunned for a moment, then said, "How is that possible? This is the first time I've seen him today."

"Really?" The old man obviously didn't believe her.

Gu Ranle's eyes dodged for a moment, and after a long while, she suddenly asked, "Master, do you believe in the existence of parallel worlds?"

She was afraid that if she told the story of a book, her grandfather would scold her, so she told the story of a parallel world.

This question surprised Gu Jiu a little, but he still thought about it seriously, and then answered: "Parallel world? This question is too difficult to say. There is no clear scientific evidence to prove its existence, but it cannot be completely denied. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Gu Ranle did not give a direct answer, but lowered his head and savored the mushroom soup in the bowl.

After she had completely swallowed the food in her mouth, she slowly raised her head with a searching look in her eyes.

"Master, if I tell you that I went to a parallel world these days and met a man who looked exactly like Li Xiuneng, would you think I was talking nonsense?"

Gu Jiu stared at her with deep eyes, but did not speak immediately.

Gu Ranle continued, "Also, the time there is completely different from ours. I spent nearly seven years there, but when I came back, only a few days had passed."

After a long time, Gu Jiu picked up the mushroom soup and took a few sips, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil.

He carefully considered his words before speaking slowly: "You have been sleeping soundly for the past few days, and no matter how I called you, you didn't respond. Could it be that the parallel world you mentioned is actually just a dream? When I was young, I also had those wild dreams. The dreams were so real that after waking up, I even felt that I had been in that dream world for many years."

"Dream?"

Gu Ranle frowned slightly.

Is it a dream?

If it really was a dream, then it would make sense.

But...is it really a dream?

"I don't know either," she said softly, "Anyway, it just feels so real. In that world, I'm the daughter of a wealthy family who's fallen on hard times, and I'm engaged to the illegitimate son of another wealthy family. And that man looks exactly like Li Xiuneng. But what I can be sure of is that I've never seen Li Xiuneng before."
