[it isn't something he would say lightly, either. there's a seriousness in his tone that conveys just how significant this is to him and what it's done and why he isn't nearly as overwhelmed as he should be right now; it's been nearly four years since he's been home, he wouldn't joke about something like this.
the long-drawn-out silence is a little unsettling but he can see from wei wuxian's face that he's simply processing this new information, taking it in and trying to figure out exactly what sizhui means when he says he's been to other worlds. thankfully, he hasn't experienced death, or he would've quickly learned that it's not like once you're deceased, that's it. (except in wei wuxian's case, of course.) he can imagine that his guardian is curious about how time works because he can assume that wei wuxian probably saw him not that long ago.
another thing they can be grateful for is sizhui's no-nonsense response to this whole time thing.] It has to be. I know you and Hanguang-jun and many others would have been searching for me if I was actually gone as long as I have been.
[yeah, and they don't want that to happen again, no siree.]
The first world I went to was called Noctium. It was... interesting? I gained a gemstone. [something he's readily revealing. a quick motion and his jacket is off, his left hand reaching back over his shoulder and touching the pear-shaped gem that's between his shoulderblades.] Here. You can feel it too, if you like.
