After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

Faced with her children's questions and the strange man who looked just like her eldest son, Chen Donghua was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and couldn't sort things out.

"I'm sure I haven't lost my child! What's going on? Is this really my child?" Chen Donghua was getting anxious, and her face began to turn pale.

Ruan Mumu quickly put her arm around Chen Donghua's shoulder and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, it might just be a similarity. The world is full of wonders, it's normal for people to look alike!"

“Yes, Mother, don’t worry. We’ll find out what happened when this young man wakes up,” Ruan Xiaohai reassured her.

Ruan Xiaojun stared at the person lying on the bed, his thoughts unsettled. So he boldly voiced a guess: "You guys think this young man looks so much like me, could he be our father's child, born outside the family?"

Upon hearing her eldest son's words, Chen Donghua felt a momentary dizziness, but quickly regained consciousness. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Your father... he... he really isn't dead?"

Ruan Mumu hugged her mother tightly and whispered to comfort her, "Mom, don't overthink it! Could it be something else? Maybe it's a child that my second and third uncles have outside? My father and his two brothers look quite alike, so maybe it's theirs?"

"Shh, Mumu, don't talk nonsense. If your second and third uncles hear this, they'll come after our family!" Chen Donghua quickly tried to cover Ruan Mumu's mouth.

Just then, a soft cough interrupted everyone's wild guesses and aroused their curiosity.

"Cough cough cough..."

Who's coughing?

"It seems to be coming from the wooden plank bed."

"Could it be that the injured person has woken up?"

Everyone turned their attention to the wooden bed, where the person who had been lying down slowly opened his eyes, looking around at the unfamiliar environment with a confused expression.

"Where am I?" a hoarse voice asked, and then the person lying on the wooden bed stirred and struggled to get up.

"Don't move!" Upon seeing this, Ruan Xiaojun quickly stepped forward and supported the injured man, fearing that he would be hurt again.

Ruan Xiaohai quickly stepped forward to help him up. The man soon sat up and looked around, his eyes filled with doubt and wariness.

The man looked around again and found everything so unfamiliar. This wasn't a place he knew, and the clothes the others were wearing weren't familiar either. Even the man's hair was tied up...

Qiao Tinghao suddenly remembered that before he fainted, a car ran a red light and hit him while he was crossing the road. His memory stopped at that moment.

He woke up here, and he couldn't believe that someone so badly injured could be here unharmed. Something must have changed that he didn't know about.

Extremely vigilant, he quickly scanned the crowd, fearing they might do something to harm him. Just as he was about to think, a splitting headache struck, and he could only clutch his head and cry out, "Ah!"

Qiao Tinghao felt as if his head was about to explode, with strange images and sounds flashing through his mind. These images and sounds confused him greatly because they were not scenes from his familiar life.

Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Qiao Tinghao tried to grasp some key information, but every time he got close to the truth, his headache would intensify, as if someone had set fire to his brain.

Qiao Tinghao's face turned ashen, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying his best not to be defeated by the pain. However, as time went by, he felt that he could no longer bear the pain.

Finally, Qiao Tinghao couldn't hold back any longer and let out a muffled groan: "What's going on? My head hurts so much."

Upon seeing this, Ruan Mumu rushed forward and anxiously asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"

The man reacted quickly, grabbing Ruan Mumu's hand tightly as if it were a lifeline. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion, but as time passed, his emotions gradually calmed down.

However, the man looked like a wilted eggplant, listless and dejected. He asked weakly, "Where am I?" His voice betrayed a hint of helplessness.

Looking at his bewildered expression, Ruan Mumu felt a pang of pity and softly replied, "This is Jinwan Village in Puyang Town. Young master, where did you come from, and where are you going? Are you lost?" She tried to comfort him with her gentle tone, hoping to put him at ease.

The man, still looking dejected, shook his head in denial. Then, after a moment's hesitation, he tentatively asked, "I don't think I've ever heard of such a town before! How far is it from Liangcheng?" His eyes revealed a mixture of curiosity and apprehension about the unknown.

At that moment, the man secretly rejoiced that he hadn't panicked, but instead calmly observed his surroundings and discovered a crucial clue. He noticed the electric lights hanging on the wall; this modern lighting made him realize that this place might be beyond ancient times. Looking at the clothing and appearance of the people around him, he guessed that he might really have traveled through time, like those short dramas on TikTok.

When Ruan Mumu heard the man mention "Liangcheng," her heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning. Her eyes widened, and she cautiously asked, "Liangcheng under the five-star red flag?" Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a mixture of anticipation and unease.

When Qiao Tinghao heard "Liangcheng under the Five-Starred Red Flag," his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded vigorously.

Ruan Mumu immediately understood and said with a smile, "Since you don't know where you're from, young master, let's wait until you remember! May I ask your name? My name is Ruan Mumu, and these are my family members: my mother, my eldest brother, and my second brother. By the way, you look about six or seven points like my eldest brother. If you have nowhere to go, young master, please stay with us for now!"

Ruan Mumu's words not only simply introduced herself and her family to the other party, but also gave them the option to stay, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

When Qiao Tinghao heard Ruan Mumu's name, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall the specific details.

But he was certain that among these people, only Ruan Mumu was most likely from the same place as him.

Thinking of this, he didn't press the matter further. He decided to find another opportunity to ask Ruan Mumu privately and find out the details then. So he replied briefly, "My name is Qiao Tinghao. Apart from remembering my name, I can't remember anything else for now."

Upon hearing the name, Ruan Mumu's heart skipped a beat. Her memories seemed to return to that military academy, to the man who had stirred her heart, who was also named Qiao Tinghao. However, he did not know her, and she only developed a slight affection for him because of his deeds.

But is he the same Qiao Tinghao she knows?

Because this Qiao Tinghao looks completely different from the Qiao Tinghao she knew in her previous life.

Qiao Tinghao looked at Ruan Mumu, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes. He seemed to sense the fluctuation in Ruan Mumu's heart, but he wasn't sure if this feeling was real.

At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle. Everyone silently watched Qiao Tinghao and Ruan Mumu, anticipating their next conversation.

Ruan Mumu thought to herself, "I'd better find another opportunity to test this person." Even though he wasn't the person she knew, he was still from the same hometown, so she naturally felt a sense of kinship with him.

"Young Master Qiao..." Ruan Mumu was about to say something.

However, Qiao Tinghao interrupted her, saying, "Mumu, stop calling me 'Young Master' and just call me by my name, Tinghao or Qiao Tinghao."

Ruan Mumu responded softly, "Tinghao."

The name of the boy she had silently murmured countless times in her heart could now be called out to her face. This made Ruan Mumu extremely excited, and a flush seemed to rise on her face. Fortunately, the night concealed her shyness and embarrassment.

"Mumu, it's late, you should all get some rest! I'll stay here with Tinghao tonight," Ruan Xiaohai suggested, seeing that everyone looked tired.

“Xiaohai, why don’t you stay here with Tinghao? Anyway, there’s not enough space for everyone to live back there, so we might as well go back and rest as soon as possible,” Chen Donghua said at the opportune moment.

"Okay, goodbye Auntie, uh... goodbye brother, goodbye Mumu." Qiao Tinghao scratched his head, looking at Ruan Xiaojun, who seemed even younger than him, unsure of how to address him.

"Haha... If you call me Mom, just call me Auntie. If you call me my two older brothers, just call them Big Brother and Second Brother. You look like you're only thirteen or fourteen at most." Ruan Mumu winked mischievously and kindly reminded her.

"Okay, Auntie, Brother, you should go back and rest first!" Qiao Tinghao took a deep breath and said, following Ruan Mumu's words. He was afraid that saying too much would make him make a mistake.

At this moment, Qiao Tinghao's heart was as turbulent as a vast ocean, unable to find peace. After all, from now on, he was about to begin a completely new life here. He secretly told himself that he must adapt to this unfamiliar environment as soon as possible, strive to integrate into this new family, and live well.
