Chapter 027: “Dual Personality” (06/07)
Mo Wei perked up. “Found it!”
Huo Qi stubbed out his cigarette and raised his gaze.
Mo Wei: “Look at this projection. His footage from those two days was artificially erased. I managed to recover it with great difficulty!”
“Then let’s replicate his passage of those two days through the captured video ……”
The plot You Huang arranged was actually very simple.
That day Yan Chen was just out on a regular errand, then he was seen by some people and struggled as he was dragged into a small warehouse.
Mo Wei: “That small warehouse had just been sold. The camera facilities inside had been removed in preparation for remodeling, so there was no video recorded inside.”
Yan Chen looked at the tightly closed warehouse door that was projected, and didn’t say anything.
The time in the upper right corner kept ticking on and on.
Mo Wei fast-forwarded it until there was movement, then slowed it back down and watched it at normal speed.
The timestamp was the afternoon of the next day.
In the picture, the warehouse door was kicked open, and Yan Chen, whose clothes were a little dirty and whose face was full of rage, came out.
Unlike the original Yan Chen, his eyes were pure and harmless.
This Yan Chen still had the same face and eyes, but instead of giving off an innate sense of affection, he was acting in an irritable and violent demeanor.
The two very different styles clashed.
Huo Qi’s heart jumped.
Just like Xie Chenyang now.
On the screen, Yan Chen didn’t take two steps before collapsing.
The pair of affectionate and seductive eyes closed, and the knuckles that dropped to his side were stained with blood.
Mo Wei exclaimed: “The feeling of sister-in-law before going in and after coming out is completely different. He must have been hurt in there! That said, sister-in-law’s strength can be really powerful ah, even able to kick the door open ……”
Huo Qi tugged at his collar with one hand. “Do you think an ordinary Omega can kick that door open?”
“Hey, where is sister-in-law ordinary …… Well, it is a bit strange, much the same as his sudden outburst earlier when he violently beat up Malikai.”
“Your conclusion?”
“… Dual personalities?”
Time was still ticking away on the projected screen. None of the people who dragged Yan Chen in had come out.
Mo Wei scratched his head and fast-forwarded again. It wasn’t until dark that Yan Chen opened his eyes and got up from the ground, his eyes blank.
He held up his injured fist tearfully.
Then he went to a hotel, took a shower, and used the basic medical supplies that the hotel had on hand to take care of it before hurrying back home.
The guys in the warehouse, on the other hand, didn’t come out until the next day in a tattered and bruised mess.
Mo Wei: “I’ll go find those guys and ask them what exactly happened while they were in there for so long.”
He was certain that Xie Chenyang hadn’t been marked.
He certainly didn’t suffer in the small warehouse in that way.
Were there dual personalities ……?
The doorbell rang.
Mo Wei pulled up the screen at the door and gulped. “It’s sister-in-law.”
It can’t be–was he here to catch Huo Qi in the act of cheating?
Huo Qi rose. “Open the door.”
The door to the house opened automatically as Huo Qi walked to the front door.
Xie Chenyang glanced inside. Huo Qi moved out of the way. Xie Chenyang had just walked in when Huo Qi pulled his arm. The door to the room closed slowly.
Huo Qi: “Did Ah-Huang tell you I was here?”
Huo Qi stared down at him. “You’re not confident in me?”
“It is you who is unsure of me, right?” Xie Chenyang looked back at him, impatient. “Don’t be suspicious. I’ll give you Ah-Huang. It’s fine if you destroy it; it’s also fine if you take and study it. Don’t go digging into me again.”
Huo Qi: “……” It seems that the system knows that he is investigating Xie Chenyang.
Xie Chenyang pressed on his light brain. “Ah-Huang was given to you, do what you need.”
Huo Qi: “A-Chen, I ……”
Xie Chenyang caught Huo Qi’s neck with one hand and pulled him down, kissing him breathless before letting go. “Don’t doubt me. Besides loving you, I have no other purpose.”
Huo Qi’s cold brows scrunched down/ “I’m sorry. I ……”
“If you want to know anything, ask me directly.” Xie Chenyang reached out and wiped Huo Qi’s lips. “Don’t trouble yourself to investigate.”
At this moment, Mo Wei quietly pawed at the door and looked at them through the crack. Huo Qi noticed and glanced back coldly. Mo Wei immediately retreated and sat down.
Huo Qi slipped his arms around Xie Chenyang’s waist. “You really don’t remember those two days when you disappeared?”
Xie Chenyang: [He unexpectedly asked about that again! Generally, after I say something like this, shouldn’t he say something like ‘next time I won’t, I’ll trust you’?]
You Huang: “After all, he is in the military, but he is also worried about you, right?” He considered the drama he had created.
[Ugh, hard to fool.]
Huo Qi saw that Xie Chenyang remained silent again and didn’t press the question. “Let’s go home.”
“Not saying goodbye to your friend?”
“Well, you wait for me then.”
Huo Qi released him and walked towards the living room, opening the door. “I’m going back.”
Mo Wei squeezed his eyebrows.“Shall I go investigate those guys?
Huo Qi nodded gently.
You Huang sympathized. “He still wanted to check.”
Xie Chenyang: [Dog man!]
You Huang: “……” Actually, I think you’re more of a dog.
Huo Qi came back. “Let’s go.”
Mo Wei popped up as well. “See you later, sister-in-law~”
Xie Chenyang smiled. “Bye, come to our house to play when you have time.”
Mo Wei: “Definitely, definitely.”
— After returning home. —
Xie Chenyang: [Why don’t I just confess to him? Otherwise he will always bear it in mind; it’s rather troublesome]
You Huang: “You want to confess what?!”
[Watch me.]
“……” Don’t mess around, ah!
Xie Chenyang held Huo Qi and sat on the sofa, looking at him with a serious expression. “A-Qi, I know what you’re suspecting.”
Huo Qi: “…… ” Isn’t this posture a bit off?
Him an alpha? Being held in the lap of an Omega?
“You think I don’t match the personality on the profile, don’t you?”
“Then I’ll tell you.” Xie Chenyang stared at him intently, speaking honestly, “Yan Chen died on the day his parents died. He died with them.”
You Huang: “Host!”
The pupils of Huo Qi’s eyes shrank slightly. He didn’t expect Xie Chenyang to just straight up confess like this. “Then …… he won’t come out in the future?”
“He’s dead, of course he can’t come out anymore,” Xie Chenyang said in dissatisfaction. “Do you like his character better? You don’t like me like this?”
“No.”
“I don’t think so either.” Xie Chenyang lifted his chin.
The original Yan Chen couldn’t give Huo Qi the same “Happiness.”
Huo Qi’s eyes gleamed with light amusement. “Will you really not suddenly switch to another personality? Totally erased the other personality?”
You Huang: “……” Scared me.
Xie Chenyang: “Well, Yan Chen has disappeared, and from now on, the one who accompanies you is just me.”
Huo Qi: “I heard that each personality has a name. What is your name?”
You Huang hastily reminded Xie Chenyang, “Don’t use your real name.”
Xie Chenyang: “You can still call me Ah-Chen, only it’s not Yan Chen’s ‘Dust’, it’s the Chen of ‘Star’.”
“Star……”
“Hmm, say it again.”
“Ah-Chen.”
Xie Chenyang sealed his lips with a kiss. Huo Qi was very cooperative.
Huo Qi cupped his face with one hand, his eyes deep. “I want to mark you. Mark you completely.”
Xie Chenyang rested his chin against Huo Qi’s shoulder, somewhat distressed.
[In this world, Omegas can bear children, can’t they?]
You Huang: “Yeah.” The host doesn’t …… would he? He’s not the kind of person who would willingly give birth to a child, right?
[He’s quite happy with our current relationship, so why is he so obsessed with permanently marking me? I have a feeling he wants a child.]
You Huang: “I think it’s because of the influence of society that he would only feel secure when his Omega is fully marked.”
[Nope, he wants a child.]
You Huang: “……” OK, you’re the boss.
“Ah-Chen.” Huo Qi gently caressed his back. ”You are my Omega.”
Xie Chenyang said sullenly, “Do you want a child?”
Huo Qi frowns slightly. “You could say that.” It didn’t really matter to him if they had a child or not. But a temporary marker was not a permanent fix. Xie Chenyang was his Omega. If he wasn’t fully marked, what would happen when he was in heat? It would hurt his body.
Xie Chenyang: “I don’t want a child.” Even if he would be here to spend the rest of his life with Huo Qi. But he wasn’t from this world after all, and there would always be a day when he would go back. He didn’t want to leave his bloodline in any other world.
Without hesitation, Huo Qi said, “Then we won’t have any.”
“You’re so good.” Xie Chenyang picked him up and headed for their room. “I want to reward you.”
Huo Qi’s heart moved slightly. Was Xie Chenyang finally willing to let him mark him completely?
You Huang: “You should take it easy.”
[I don’t know why, but in this world, I feel like I have especially good energy. While I’m still young, heh heh heh heh.]
Did Huo Qi successfully mark his Omega that night?
Huo Qi: No, roll!
During the night, Huo Qi received a message from Mo Wei.
‘They remembered his sister-in-law, and indeed coveted his beauty, but they didn’t have time to do anything. When they were about to get their hands on him, sister-in-law suddenly exploded and subdued them all, viciously beating them. Do you want more details?’
Huo Qi: [No, check their backgrounds. Those who have committed crimes should be dealt with in accordance with the severity of the crime].
Mo Wei: [Understood.]
Xie Chenyang cocked his head. “What are you doing?”
“Returning a message.” Huo Qi leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. “I have some things to discuss with the regiment, so I’m going out for a bit.”
Xie Chenyang looked at his naked back, and said in a solemn tone: [Previously, after doing it, he would have to rest for a while.]
You Huang: “…… In this world, he has better physical strength.”
[Ah-Jin had excellent martial arts skills, but it was not like this, ah?]
Acting like it’s nothing.
You Huang: “The ability structure is different.”
[Sigh.]
You Huang: “……” Regardless of what he does.
[I want to work out.]
You Huang dryly said, “Refuel.”
— Study. —
Huo Qi opened his address book and swiped for a long time until he stopped at a person’s name. He contemplated for a while before he dialed the number.
A projection of a disheveled person appeared.
Huo Qi coldly said, “Get dressed.”
The man straightened his clothes and buttoned them up properly. “So, what is it that Mr. Hou is looking for me for?”
Huo Qi lit a cigarette. “I remember you have studied psychology.”
The man smiled in a sassy manner. “Aiya, Mr. Hou, have you finally made yourself crazy?”
“Dual personalities–can a sub-personality take out the primary personality?”
“Speak in detail.”
Huo Qi stated the general situation in a light tone.
The man narrowed his eyes. “According to you, his sub-personality only appeared when he stimulated himself and couldn’t break free, arising from the main personality’s expectations when he wanted to protect himself but couldn’t do anything about it. Erasure is unlikely. I’ll need to see it in person.”
Xie Chenyang, who had been watching the whole broadcast: “……”
[My love, oh, why so persistent?]
You Huang: “I think he is worried about you. He loves you presumably and doesn’t want the ‘Main Persona’ to reappear for fear that you’ll be suppressed, or that you’ll disappear.”
Xie Chenyang bowed his head: [I feel like you’ve dug a big pit for me.]
“Right……”
[Do not apologize. I know you did it for my sake.]
You Huang smiled. “Leave it to me. I’ll act it out.”
With this host, there was no mistake with helping him.
Xie Chenyang: [I just think he is too idle. If I make him unable to get out of bed, would he still have the strength to fuss like this?]
