Chapter 49

When Song Linsheng came in, he saw Shi Nan sitting there blankly, with the cigarette almost burning to his lips.

Song Linsheng took the cigarette away and put it out: “What’s wrong?”

Shi Nan looked up at Song Linsheng and said nonchalantly: “I just watched a short video. That person’s husband died and he married someone else in less than half a month.”

“It’s quite normal.” Song Linsheng lifted the quilt and was about to go to bed. Shi Nan pressed the quilt hard and stared at him, “What do you mean? Does it mean that if I die, you can marry someone else in half a month?”

“Shi Nan.” Song Linsheng suddenly darkened his face.

“Ha.” Shi Nan wasn’t afraid of him. After taking the quilt, he snorted coldly, “I’m a very devoted person. If the person I like suddenly disappears, I won’t love anyone else for the rest of my life. If one day I can’t handle it anymore, it’s possible I’d even die for love.”

After Shi Nan said, he kicked Song Linsheng: “I don’t want to see you, you go to the guest room.”

Song Linsheng stood by the bed and looked at him for a while. After turning up the temperature of the air conditioner, he turned off the lights and went out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shi Nan sat up from the bed. He was a little panicked now. Song Xiaobai might have disappeared after realizing his so-called wish. He didn’t even hear the last two words he said that night. Shi Nan was very upset, how sad Song Xiaobai must have been when he switched that day.

If Song Linsheng and Song Xiaobai had the same thoughts, a lot of things would make sense. Shi Nan always felt that Song Linsheng’s feelings for him were a bit restrained. It was clear that he was in love, but he always stopped at the critical moment. Even though they had been married for such a long time, Song Linsheng seemed to have never said the three words “I love you” to him.

Shi Nan gritted his teeth. If he hadn’t known about Song Linsheng’s feelings for him, Shi Nan would have broken up with him now.

If Song Linsheng really had the same thoughts as Song Xiaobai, would he also leave on his own? What would happen after that?

Would Song Xiaobai come back?

Or…

Shi Nan held his head speechlessly. Right now, he really wanted to find Song Linsheng and have a fight.

On the balcony, Song Linsheng was smoking. There were already several cigarette butts in the ashtray. He looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window and felt restless.

He expected everything, but the only thing he didn’t expect was that he would fall in love with Shi Nan.

When he was first tempted, he felt that it was not impossible to leave,but at this moment he realized how difficult it was to leave.

He couldn’t let go of Shi Nan.

Song Linsheng smoked one cigarette after another. Split personality was a serious psychological disorder. So far, there were few cured cases in the world, almost none.

At this moment, Song Linsheng began to regret the decision he made. If he had known that one day he would fall in love with Shi Nan, he would never have created another Song Linsheng.

At 8:10 the next morning, Song Linsheng walked out of the bedroom, and Shi Nan walked up to him and asked cautiously: “Who?”

Song Linsheng leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

Shi Nan couldn’t explain how he felt. He hoped that Song Xiaobai hadn’t disappeared, but he was also afraid that Song Linsheng would suddenly disappear. Anyway, he had all kinds of worries.

In the afternoon, Shi Nan went to see Mei Qingyi. After listening to Shi Nan’s recent situation, Mei Qingyi asked Shi Nan: “You said you had an idea the other day. Let’s talk about it.”

Shi Nan sat up straight and was a little nervous. He picked up the water on the table and drank, then cleared his throat and said: “Through my observations these days, I feel that his words and deeds do not look like a split personality. The most important thing about dual or multiple personalities is that their personalities are different. On the other hand, if they have the same personality, they are actually the same person.”

“So, what is your conclusion?” Mei Qingyi asked.

” I think…” Shi Nan leaned forward, and his voice suddenly became softer due to lack of confidence. “Could he think that he has a split personality, but in fact he just has amnesia, that intermittent… kind of amnesia? ” In the end, Shi Nan had some doubts. Could intermittent amnesia be so accurate? Could he suffer from amnesia every day?

It was a bit absurd.

Shi Nan looked at Mei Qingyi anxiously, but Mei Qingyi nodded and confirmed his idea: “Actually, that’s what I guessed too.”

Shi Nan’s eyes lit up.

Mei Qingyi clasped his hands on the table: “Why did you say he had a split personality in the first place?”

“Because the person I see during the day and night are different.” Shi Nan replied.

“Yes, because you saw him during the day and at night. So besides what you saw yourself, who else told you that he has a dual personality?”

“Who told me?” Shi Nan was stunned for a moment, “No one else knew, just me and him…himself?”

Shi Nan paused, feeling that his brain couldn’t keep up.

“Dual personalities generally don’t know the existence of another personality, but he clearly knows that he has another personality.” Mei Qingyi asked Shi Nan again,”If you got up this morning and found that the date was wrong, it should have been the 22nd, but your calendar shows the 23rd. What’ll be your first reaction?”

“I’d think I lost my memory,” Shi Nan answered almost mechanically. “Where did yesterday go? Why isn’t it there? Is the calendar wrong? Or did I have a memory problem?”

Mei Qingyi nodded: “This is a normal person’s way of thinking. I have been thinking about why he is so sure that he has a dual personality and has a strong sense of time,knowing exactly when to switch personalities.”

Shi Nan: “Yes, why?”

Mei Qingyi smiled at Shi Nan’s confused look: ” Is he very smart?Have you ever tested his IQ?”

“What’s his IQ ? I don’t know, but he must be very smart.” Shi Nan scratched his neck, “Much smarter than me anyway.”

“I have another idea, but I can’t tell you now.” Mei Qingyi thought for a while. “Well, when you go back, try to treat them both the same way and see what their reactions will be like.”

“I always treat them equally,” Shi Nan frowned.

” No.” Mei Qingyi shook his head, “It’s different. I remember you said you met them at different times, and your feelings developed differently. First, make yourself see them as one person, then see if he really is one person. Do you get what I mean?”

Shi Nan sighed: “I still have some IQ.” But he always felt like he was cheating.

Mei Qingyi was amused by Shi Nan: “Don’t be too nervous. Just live your life how you want. He must have experienced some major changes in the past or something happened that gave him a lot of pressure and psychological burden. These are all treatable, but only if we give the right medicine and the patient cooperates.”

Shi Nan expressed his worries: “I think both of them want to ‘kill’ themselves. Will there be a problem? ”

“Probably not. I suspect that in the next couple of days, the other personality will switch back.”

“Why?” Shi Nan was curious. “They used to switch back and forth every morning and night, but recently, one personality can stay for three or four days straight. Does that mean if they don’t switch, they could remain as one person?”

“No.” Mei Qingyi shook his head. “You can observe. If they don’t switch for several days, their overall state will deteriorate. Because he realizes he can control the personality switch, the longer he persists, the more he subconsciously gives himself psychological hints that it’s too exhausting and he can’t hold on, so he switches back.”

Shi Nan understood, but it still seemed unbelievable.

Mei Qingyi raised an eyebrow: “I’m really curious about him. He seems like a madman.”

“What?” Shi Nan frowned, unable to help but retort, “He’s not a madman.”

Mei Qingyi smiled and apologized: “Sorry, that’s not what I meant. Well… how should I put it? There is only one thin line between madness and genius.”

Shi Nan curled his lips, then he was also a genius, not a madman.

Shi Nan came out of the psychological clinic, returned to the company first, and then waited for Song Linsheng to go to the hotel to have dinner with Gu Shuwei and Ding Yu after getting off work.

Gu Shuwei and Ding Yu planned to rent a house here first, and then slowly discuss buying a house. In two days, Gu Shuwei would go back to the company to deal with some things, leaving Ding Yu alone here.

“Mom, dad, let’s go to my place first. My place may be smaller, but it’s okay for our family to make a living together first,” Shi Nan said.

Hearing what Shi Nan said, Gu Shuwei and Ding Yu were very happy, but they still refused: “Forget it, you two are living well, so we won’t get involved. We can just rent a house closer to you. ”

“Let’s do that then.” Shi Nan said, “I’ll see if there are any houses available for rent in our community. You guys should wait for two days. If dad goes home, mom will stay with me first.”

“Okay.” Ding Yu’s eyes lit up, “It would be best if I could rent a house in your community, so that I can take care of you nearby.”

On the way home, Shi Nan was driving, and Song Linsheng leaned on the passenger seat. He closed his eyes and rested his mind. In fact, Mei Qingyi didn’t need to tell him, Shi Nan also knew that Song Linsheng was not in a good condition and one could tell he was very tired just looking at him.

Today was another day where Song Linsheng didn’t switch back.

In the evening, Song Linsheng was lying on the sofa watching TV with Shi Nan in his arms. Both of them were not thinking about the TV. Shi Nan moved up and hugged Song Linsheng’s waist, rested his head on his chest, and called out his name: “Song Linsheng.”

“Yeah.” Song Linsheng responded lazily.

Shi Nan called out again: “Song Linsheng.”

“Yes.” Song Linsheng responded to him again.

No matter how many times Shi Nan shouted, Song Linsheng answered him. He didn’t ask him what he was calling for, he just answered as long as he called.

The two squinted on the sofa for a while. In the middle of the night, Song Linsheng carried Shi Nan into the bedroom. When he was about to sleep, Shi Nan said in a daze: “Turn on the bedside lamp.”

Song Linsheng’s heart was struck hard by these words.

Shi Nan’s tenderness was hidden in every little detail, making it difficult not to fall for him.

When Song Linsheng woke up in the morning, he felt confused. This place was very familiar. It was Shi Nan’s bedroom, and beside him, Shi Nan was sleeping with one leg still on him.

Song Linsheng stared at Shi Nan for a long time and still felt a little unbelievable. He should have disappeared obviously, why would he appear again?

What went wrong?

Shi Nan turned over and rolled half of his body onto Song Linsheng, who stiffened for a moment.

Shi Nan buried his head under the quilt for a long time before slowly getting up. He looked at the watch with his eyes wide open and his hair messed up. It was half past eight.

Song Linsheng actually didn’t ask him to get up. Didn’t he always wake him up at six o’clock?

Shi Nan was speechless. Not only would he not be able to get perfect attendance this month, his salary would also be deducted.

Shi Nan raised his eyes and looked at Song Linsheng, and asked lazily: “Who are you?”

Song Linsheng didn’t speak, his gaze fixed on Shi Nan’s face. It seemed like he hadn’t seen him for a long, long time. Seeing him now, feelings surged in his heart like a floodgate opening.

Still sleepy, Shi Nan didn’t notice anything wrong with Song Linsheng. He kicked him and routinely asked, “Gouzi?”

Song Linsheng lowered his eyes. Since he had decided to disappear and had said goodbye to Shi Nan before, then he shouldn’t reappear. It would be the best arrangement to make Shi Nan think that he would never come back.

“Hey, talk.” Shi Nan sat up on his knees, looked at him with squinted eyes, and asked again: “Are you Gouzi? Can you respond? Could it be that you are…”

Shi Nan’s eyes widened. Could it be Song Xiaobai?

Was it possible that Mei Qingyi was right? Had Song Xiaobai switched back?

Seeing Shi Nan’s look, Song Linsheng sighed inwardly. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to open his mouth: “Woof.”

Shi Nan couldn’t tell whether he was relieved or a little disappointed. He leaned over and hugged Song Linsheng and kissed him on the lips: “Good boy.”

Song Linsheng frowned and waited for a long time before suppressing his urge to have a fight with Shi Nan.
