90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Chapter 16 Paradox of Space and Time

Xie Jianhua chatted with his father-in-law for a long time, and it was almost late at night.

Lin Jun looked out the window at the deep night, his heart filled with love and reluctance for his son-in-law, so he spoke to persuade him to stay: "Jianhua, it's so late now, why don't you and Yanyan stay here first? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

Xie Jianhua shook his head slightly when he heard this, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Dad, thank you for your kindness. But I am worried about Lu Ping. She is alone in the hospital, and I have to take her food tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Lin Jun sighed. Knowing his son-in-law's temper, he knew it would be difficult to change his mind once it was decided, so he stopped forcing him. "Well, since you've made up your mind, Dad won't stay any longer. Be careful on the road and stay safe."

Xie Jianhua nodded gratefully, then stood up, sorted out his clothes, and said to his father-in-law, "Dad, take care of yourself too. I'll come visit you often when I'm free."

Xie Yan listened at the side, her eyes slightly red. She held her father's hand tightly, seeming reluctant to leave.

Xie Jianhua patted his daughter's head gently and said softly, "Yan Yan, say goodbye to Grandpa. We should go back."

Xie Yan nodded obediently and waved to Lin Jun: "Goodbye, Grandpa, we will come to see you again."

Lin Jun responded with a smile and watched Xie Jianhua and his daughter walk out of the house and disappear into the night.

On the country road shrouded in darkness, Xie Jianhua rode his muddy motorcycle, carrying his daughter Xie Yan, and slowly moved forward along the winding road.

The moonlight shines through the sparse clouds, casting mottled shadows, illuminating the way home for the father and daughter.

The wind whistled past his ears, bringing a hint of coolness, but Xie Jianhua's heart was filled with warmth.

He looked back at his daughter from time to time to make sure she was sitting comfortably.

Xie Yan hugged her father's waist tightly, feeling his strong back and warm embrace.

She looked up at the sky, which was dotted with stars, and even the stars were guiding them.

"Dad, do you like Mom?" Xie Yan suddenly asked, her voice full of curiosity.

Xie Jianhua paused slightly, his expression gloomy. He didn't know how to express his feelings for Lin Luping.

But now that his daughter is so old, he can't let her know about the grudges and entanglements between adults. He nodded reluctantly: "Of course I like it."

Xie Yan heard her father's answer and seemed to be lost in thought.

If my father likes Lin Luping, how can I make the matter between Lin Luping and Yao Yadong public so that my father can know?

The motorcycle continued to move forward, passing through rice fields and orchards. The air was filled with a mixture of earth and fruity aromas, which was refreshing.

Finally, they returned home.

Xie Jianhua still prepared bath water for his daughter, boiled a cup of hot milk, and went back to the desk in the bedroom to read.

Xie Yan took a bath, put on soft pajamas, held the cup of warm milk in her hand, and her little face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

She sat on the edge of the bed, drinking it in small sips, feeling the sweetness and warmth of the milk.

At this moment, Xie Yan had a flash of inspiration and remembered something.

Liu Yuan from the family compound!

Liu Yuan comes from a single-parent family. Her father was scalded to death by molten iron while working in a steel factory, leaving behind only her and Aunt Zhang, who were two or three years old.

Liu Yuan has lived in the shadow of a single-parent family since she was a child. Her father's accidental death left an indelible trauma in her young heart.

Tomorrow, after Aunt Zhang gets off work at night, she goes to buy dumplings for Liu Yuan and encounters a serial criminal on the way.

A night passed, and when Liu Yuan was anxiously waiting for Aunt Zhang to return home, the police came to her house to inform her of the sad news.

At that moment, Liu Yuan's world seemed to collapse.

Aunt Zhang’s death plunged Liu Yuan into complete despair and loneliness.

From then on, Liu Yuan could only depend on her elderly grandmother.

Grandma Liu Yuan's health has deteriorated significantly after the successive deaths of her son and daughter-in-law, and she even walks with a limp.

But she still supported the family firmly, and used her wrinkled hands to provide a roof for Liu Yuan.

Grandma Liu Yuan has no income and can only rely on picking up garbage to make a living.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines on the earth, grandma is already holding a worn-out woven bag, walking through the streets and alleys of the city, picking up abandoned waste.

Director Chen sympathized with Liu Yuan's situation and did not drive her away. He still let them live in the family compound.

Xie Yan and Lu Tingting have always been by Liu Yuan's side, silently supporting her.

They knew Liu Yuan's family situation, but did not alienate her because of it.

On the contrary, they cared more about Liu Yuan, often inviting her to their home and treating her to meals, so as to provide nutrition for Liu Yuan's weak and thin body.

Whenever the weekend or holiday comes, Xie Yan and Lu Tingting will accompany Liu Yuan to visit grandma.

They helped their grandmother pick up waste, cooked and washed clothes together, and enjoyed the rare reunion time.

It was not until the family compound was demolished and the health center was converted into a town hospital that Liu Yuan moved out, as Director Chen had already retired and could no longer take care of her.

No news from him since then.

Xie Yan lay on the bed with a lot on her mind, wondering what the meaning of her rebirth was.

Is it revenge for his mother Lin Luping?

Is it to let my father Xie Jianhua live?

Is it to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University to realize your dream?

Xie Yan tossed and turned in bed, her heart full of contradictions and struggles.

She realized that the meaning of rebirth might be far more than that.

It is an opportunity to re-examine yourself, understand others, and embrace life.

It is also an opportunity to redeem others.

If a small action can change the fate of others, should she do it?

But then, she calmed down.

If rebirth and time travel do not follow the trajectory of the previous life, will it cause a time and space paradox?

The space-time paradox, also known as the time-space paradox or the time-space contradiction, is the most basic and typical form of antinomy.

If a person goes back in time and kills his or her grandmother, will that person still exist?

This is the famous grandmother paradox, which embodies the logical contradictions that time travel may cause.

This is also the key point that Xie Yan is struggling with. If she finds a reason to delay Liu Yuan's mother tomorrow, will the murderer change his target and attack other people?

Once this idea appeared, it was like a wildfire that could not be stopped.

If the murderer attacks someone else, would the victim's family be considered indirectly harmed by Xie Yan?

However, if she does nothing, Aunt Zhang's tragedy will happen again, and Liu Yuan will lose her "mother" again, which she cannot accept in any way.

Xie Yan closed her eyes and thought about the best solution.

She recalled seeing a wanted poster posted by the police on the way to school a few days ago. What if she called the police?

Would the police believe an eight-year-old girl?

If she goes to the police, what should she tell them?

Did she say that she knew that the serial killer wanted by the police would attack Aunt Zhang at night?
