6 min read1,533 wordsMature

About a quarter of an hour later, a doctor came in, brought by Manager Xu.

He examined Shen Lang's eyes and took his pulse, and after a long while, he exclaimed in surprise, "Truly strange and bizarre! He was so seriously ill, on the verge of death, and now he has inexplicably recovered!"

The manager beside him asked, "Doctor Li, is Shen Lang's condition really improved?"

"He's better, no longer in danger of losing his life," Doctor Li replied.

Manager Xu also smiled, "Doctor Li, your medical skills are truly remarkable, a miraculous recovery."

Doctor Li hesitated for a moment, "It was just a stroke of luck."

Manager Xu said, "Shen Lang, take good care of yourself."

Then, he led Doctor Li out of the room.

Shen Lang got out of bed and stood in front of the mirror, carefully examining his new self.

He was truly very handsome, though still quite weak, he exuded a youthful aura.

Not only that, the previous Shen Lang, though handsome and dashing, had a dull gaze and a foolish expression, lacking charm, like a wooden statue.

But now, Shen Lang's eyes were full of vitality, his expressions vivid and profound, a world apart from before.

Rebirth is truly wonderful!

He stood in front of the mirror for half an hour, then sat at the table and picked up a book to read.

Of course, he couldn't really focus on the book; he was just pretending.

Because he was thinking about a question: What exactly had been added to his mind?

Besides the memories of two Shen Langs, there was something else, and he couldn't help but search his mind.

Then, he was surprised to find a computer screen in his mind.

This was astonishing.

The screen was very familiar, it was his Dell Alienware laptop, filled with all kinds of data, books, games, movies, and more.

In modern Earth, Shen Lang performed surgery every day, and his life was very monotonous. Moreover, the internet in many parts of Africa was poor, so he had to download a large amount of books and data onto his hard drive. This computer had accompanied him through most of his free time.

In his mind, Shen Lang casually opened a book, a movie, and a game from the computer, and everything worked perfectly.

This was incredible; the entire Alienware laptop had entered his mind.

Not only that!

Shen Lang also had a strange feeling, not in his mind, but in his eyes.

So, he focused his spirit on his eyes, and something even more astonishing happened.

Everything Shen Lang saw changed; it was no longer the world as a normal person would see it.

He could see the scissors in the drawer, the water in the vase, and the roots under the soil of the potted plant.

Yes, he could see through things!

Of course, this wasn't the kind of X-ray vision in many urban novels that could see through women's clothes; it was real X-ray vision.

Like an X-ray machine in a hospital that could see through the human body's muscles and organs, or like the X-ray machine at a train station that could see through a box to its contents.

Then Shen Lang remembered that when the bomb exploded near him, it not only shattered his body but also an X-ray machine and a laptop.

Now, they had somehow followed him through the rebirth, which was truly incredible.

But, had anything else strange followed him through?

Suddenly, Shen Lang thought, since they were both inside his body, could the Alienware laptop and the X-ray vision be combined?

He instinctively merged the two abilities and looked at the table. Instantly, he could see the table's internal structure and grain clearly.

Moreover, the information about the table clearly appeared in his mind: desk, material: rosewood, weight: 157 kilograms.

Vase, ceramic, age: 15 years.

This was interesting!

These two functions together were like a smart scanner, not only showing the internal structure but also analyzing it.

At that moment, the door to the room opened, and a fragrant breeze came in, followed by a gentle and charming voice.

"Shen Lang, you have truly recovered, I am so happy!"

Shen Lang couldn't help but turn his head.

First, he saw a slender skeleton, muscles, and internal organs, because he was still in X-ray vision.

Blinking his eyes, the X-ray vision faded, and he returned to normal vision.

Then, Shen Lang saw a graceful beauty.

Indeed, she was one in a million, with a delicate oval face, like a beauty from a painting. Her slender figure was perfectly proportioned, neither too fat nor too thin. Her skin was as smooth as lamb fat, almost translucent.

No wonder countless young men in Nujiang County were captivated by her. Her beauty, figure, and demeanor were all extraordinary.

No wonder the previous Shen Lang had been entranced by her at first sight, even willing to sacrifice himself to save her life.

She not only had unparalleled beauty but also an elegant demeanor, exuding a tranquil and scholarly aura. She didn't seem like the daughter of a merchant but more like a noblewoman with a rich historical background.

This woman, of course, was Shen Lang's wife, Xu Qianqian.

At first sight of Shen Lang, Xu Qianqian was slightly taken aback, a bit surprised, because she noticed a change in him. His face was the same, but his spirit and demeanor seemed different.

She sat down in front of Shen Lang, her slender waist forming an alluring curve.

"Shen Lang, it's truly a blessing that you have recovered," Xu Qianqian said softly.

"Um," Shen Lang replied.

Xu Qianqian was silent for a moment, then said, "Your parents have come to our house several times these past days. They miss and worry about you a lot. Your mother even knelt before me several times, begging me to return you to her. Parents' love is truly boundless."

"Um," Shen Lang instantly understood the subtext but pretended to be very dull, making Xu Qianqian think her first impression of Shen Lang was a mistake.

Seeing Shen Lang's slow reaction, Xu Qianqian felt a bit at a loss. If she had been talking to a smart person, they would have understood her words immediately, but this Shen Lang was completely dull and unresponsive, leaving her unsure how to proceed.

"Bang!"

At that moment, the door was forcefully opened, and a strikingly handsome man in brocade clothing walked in, kissed Xu Qianqian on the head, and sneered, "He's a brain-dead idiot, how could he understand your gentle words?"

Then, he looked at Shen Lang with a haughty and disdainful gaze and said, "I'm Zhang Jin. You didn't die, which is good. Now, you can get lost and go back to your rural doghouse."

Shen Lang couldn't help but look at this striking Zhang Jin, his face expressionless, his eyes devoid of emotion.

Zhang Jin said, "If you can't understand that, let me make it clearer. You, a poor man, married into the Xu family for good luck. Now that Qianqian is better, you don't even deserve to touch her finger. So, you are being expelled from the Xu family. From now on, Qianqian has nothing to do with you because she is going to marry me. Got it?"

Shen Lang couldn't help but look at Xu Qianqian, the woman who had always been gentle and perfect in his memory.

Xu Qianqian's eyes showed a bit of annoyance; the current situation contradicted her perfect image. She had wanted to end the marriage with Shen Lang more quietly, but Zhang Jin had burst the bubble.

Shen Lang's eyes remained fixed on Xu Qianqian's beautiful face, as if seeking a definitive answer from her.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qianqian said gently, "Shen Lang, you are very kind, but I'm very sorry, we are not a good match."

Shen Lang didn't react to the "good person card"; he was too handsome to need it.

Xu Qianqian said, "Your parents miss you very much and have been begging us to return their son. So, it's good for you to go home and be with your parents."

Shen Lang continued to stare at her, saying nothing.

Xu Qianqian was getting annoyed; this Shen Lang was so dull, and she had already made her intentions very clear.

"Humph!" The noble Zhang Jin was growing impatient and coldly snorted.

Xu Qianqian glanced at him with a slightly appeasing look, then her voice became a bit colder, "Shen Lang, I am very grateful for your feelings, but we are not a good match. So, please go home. From now on, we are no longer husband and wife."

Shen Lang looked at Xu Qianqian, then at Zhang Jin, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go home."

Zhang Jin sneered, "Your brain is truly hopeless."

Then, he wrapped his arm around Xu Qianqian's slender waist and walked out of the room.

"Leave the Xu family within half an hour, or you will face the consequences," Zhang Jin said coldly, then left.
