Chapter 47
The next day Shi Nan woke up before dawn.
The dark summer sky showed that it was only past four o’clock.
Shi Nan went to the kitchen and worked for a few hours, making a hearty breakfast.
It was half past six when Song Linsheng opened the door and came out.
Seeing the food on the table, Song Linsheng raised an eyebrow: “Cooked for him?”
“No, cooked for you.” Shi Nan glanced at him and said, “You eat breakfast.”
“Then, thank you.” Sitting down at the dining table, Song Linsheng suddenly smiled and thought that it was a bit like his last breakfast.
“What are you laughing at?” Shi Nan brought the porridge to him.
“Laughing at the excitement that is written all over your face.”
Shi Nan snorted and ignored him.
Song Linsheng ate his meal slowly and glanced at the watch on the wall.
“Are you going to forgive him easily?” Song Linsheng asked Shi Nan.
“Of course… not.” Shi Nan touched his nose, “I am not broad-minded at all. He disappeared for so many days for no reason. It is impossible for me to forgive him easily.”
Song Linsheng said “tsk”: ” Seeing you like this, it seems you can’t wait to hug him and cry your heart out, expressing your longing…”
“Shut up.” Shi Nan wrinkled his nose at him angrily.
Song Linsheng laughed softly.
After breakfast, Song Linsheng went to the balcony to look at the rabbits and fed them a few vegetable leaves. When it was almost eight o’clock, Song Linsheng walked to the bedroom.
Shi Nan suddenly became nervous and couldn’t help but call him: “Song Linsheng.”
Song Linsheng looked back at him, and Shi Nan stood there and looked at him: “Well, next time when you come back, I… we can go to the night market and buy a rabbit.”
Song Linsheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He didn’t say whether he agreed or not, and just said softly: “Xiao Bei, goodbye.”
Seeing the door close, Shi Nan felt his heart beating faster and faster.
Song Linsheng returned to the room and glanced at his watch. It was still five minutes to eight o’clock.
He closed his eyes, put his hands on his chest, and brought himself back to that untouchable dream.
In the dream, the woman held up a knife and stabbed the man in the chest again and again. The man reached out to him: “Xiao Sheng, save me…”
The woman was covered in blood and walked towards him step by step, grabbing his neck with both hands: ” Mom loves you, mom loves you…”
…
Song Linsheng sat up from the bed suddenly.
Song Linsheng opened the door and rushed into the bathroom and started vomiting. Shi Nan ran over and said anxiously: “What’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Song Linsheng poured cold water on his face. Shi Nan felt distressed when he saw it: “Don’t force it. If you can’t transform, don’t transform yet. Don’t torture yourself. Hey…”
Before Shi Nan could finish his words, he was hugged by someone. Song Linsheng hugged him tightly, as if holding a lost treasure.
Such a hug…
“Gouzi, Gouzi?” Shi Nan shouted cautiously.
“It’s me.” Song Linsheng held his face and kissed his forehead, “It’s Gouzi, it’s your Gouzi.”
Shi Nan was stunned for a moment, then hugged him back hard, and then his emotions broke out: “Are you out of your mind? You just disappeared all of a sudden. What did I say that made you treat me like this? You lied to me for so long, and now I’m not even allowed to get angry? I just said a couple of things, and you vanish. What, can’t a couple have a fight?”
Shi Nan said while hugging him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear again.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Song Linsheng kissed his hair, “I was wrong.”
Shi Nan lifted the collar of his shirt and bit him hard on the shoulder.
Song Linsheng was in pain but did not stop him.
After Shi Nan finished biting, Song Linsheng touched his head: “Are you done venting?”
Shi Nan pushed him away, glaring at him, remembering what he had said to Song Xiaobai before. If he were to switch back, he wouldn’t easily forgive him.
Shi Nan glared at Song Linsheng for a while, then took a step forward, raised his head, and kissed Song Linsheng’s cold lips: ” Song Linsheng, I love you.”
Song Linsheng stood frozen in place because of these words.
Song Linsheng asked Shi Nan about what had happened in the past two days and learned that the identification results had already come out. Shi Nan had also reunited with the Gu couple, which put his mind at ease.
“Tomorrow, ask them to have dinner together, and then we’ll go to meet your father together.” Song Linsheng said.
Shi Nan looked at the time. Gu Shuwei and Ding Yu said two days ago that they would go home to deal with the company’s affairs, and they should be able to come back tomorrow.
Shi Nan sent them a message to ask and got the exact flight information.
“Their flight will arrive at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Let’s pick them up then.” Shi Nan said.
“Okay.” Song Linsheng also looked out the window, “The weather is nice today
Let’s go out for a walk.”
“No.” Shi Nan had already started to pack things, “I have to go to work today and I’m already late. I have to go back to the company.”
” I’ll give you a day off.” Song Linsheng frowned, “You don’t have to go to work today.” Shi Nan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: “I didn’t realize you were so bossy before. It’s not a matter of whether I have a day off, it’s my work. There is a lot of work to be done, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving it to others.”
Song Linsheng looked a little unhappy, but still followed Shi Nan: “Okay, I will accompany you back to the company. But you must finish everything in the morning and accompany me in the afternoon.”
“Okay, I’ll try my best.” Song Linsheng was rarely persistent, so Shi Nan could only coax him.
The two returned to the company together. The secretary saw Song Linsheng and hurriedly came over to greet him: “Mr. Song, Mr. Liang has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Mr. Liang?
Shi Nan recalled for a while, then approached Song Linsheng and whispered: “It seems to be the boss of a video platform.”
“Okay.” Song Linsheng nodded to the secretary and said indifferently, “Tell him I’ll be there soon. Also, move the tasks scheduled for the afternoon to the morning, and bring me the meeting minutes from the past two weeks.”
Secretary: “Okay, Mr. Song.”
Shi Nan looked at Song Linsheng, who seemed to be a different person after entering the company, and felt a sense of familiarity. It took him a long time to realize that the current Song Linsheng was just like the Song Xiaobai he had met in the conference room for the first time, cold and distant.
“Shi Nan?”
Shi Nan came back to his senses and saw Song Linsheng looking at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Song Linsheng smiled: “Didn’t you say you have a lot of work? Do you need my help?”
“Of course not.” Shi Nan wrinkled his nose, “Mr. Song, are you looking down on me? I will let you know how good your employees are.”
“That’s good.” Song Linsheng rubbed his head, “Then go to work and free up your afternoon.”
“Song Stingy.” He muttered and turned around to leave.
Shi Nan had been busy all morning and finally finished more than half of his work. He freed up his time in the afternoon and planned to go back and stay up late at night. On the way to the bathroom, he passed by the reception room and saw Song Linsheng and some other party talking about something.
Shi Nan leaned against the wall outside the door and watched for a while. Logically speaking, Song Xiaobai was the one who came to work during the day. Suddenly Song Linsheng came back to take over the job. He should have been very panicked, but he was calm and unfazed. This was very similar to his usual work style. No matter what happened, he took it calmly.
It’s just that although Song Linsheng was like this, his Secretary couldn’t tell the difference between them, Xiangyang couldn’t see the difference between them, and even Ying Ting didn’t realize that the person during the day and the one at night were not the same.
“What are you doing, Brother Shi?”
Shi Nan was tapped on the shoulder. Shi Nan turned around and saw Xiang Yang coming over with a cup of milk tea in his mouth: “Are you guarding the door?”
Shi Nan glared at him.
Xiang Yang came over and stood with him, glanced at the reception room, and then said: “You go to work together every day, go home together every day. You are always inseparable, can’t you bear to be separated even at this moment? People in love, they really have no IQ.”
Shi Nan tapped his bald head.
“You say, if there were two people with similar personalities, would you fall in love with both of them at the same time?” Shi Nan really didn’t know who to talk to.
“Of course not.” Xiang Yang said without hesitation, “If the two of them have similar personalities, of course, it depends on their looks. I’ll like the pretty one.”
Shi Nan: “…” You’re such a loser.
“Then if they both look the same?” Shi Nan said.
“Are you crazy? That’s one person, not two,” Xiangyang said, tilting his bald head. “Of course, it could be twins. But even twins have differences, and you can tell which one looks better if you look closely. I like the better-looking one.”
Shi Nan couldn’t hear what Xiangyang said next. He only heard the words “That’s one person, not two.”
Like a sudden realization, Shi Nan began to suspect that dissociative identity disorder, as the name implies, involves two distinct personalities. But Song Linsheng was different.
Shi Nan returned to the office and sent a message to Mei Qingyi.
Mei Qingyi quickly replied to him: I also have a new idea during this time. If you have time, come over recently and let’s chat.
Shi Nan checked the time and made an appointment with him the day after tomorrow.
Because of this idea, Shi Nan became very excited. If this idea was true, then he might not be a scumbag.
In the afternoon, Shi Nan and Song Linsheng left the company together. Before leaving, Shi Nan secretly asked the secretary. The secretary said that Song Linsheng had finished all his work today.
Shi Nan found it unbelievable and wondered if Song Xiaobai was deliberately pretending to be the other person to deceive him because he couldn’t switch back.
“Gouzi?” In the car, Shi Nan approached Song Linsheng and shouted softly.
“What’s wrong?” Song Linsheng was confused.
“Just say something back to me.”
Song Linsheng was silent for a while, and then made a “woof” sound.
Shi Nan smiled and pinched his face: “Good boy.”
Song Linsheng sighed.
Shi Nan leaned over and kissed him on the lips again, Song Linsheng grabbed his waist, and the two kissed.
“Where to go?” Shi Nan asked Song Linsheng.
Song Linsheng: “Amusement park.”
“Where?” Shi Nan looked at him in surprise.
“Amusement park.” Song Linsheng held his hand and played with his fingers, “Why, do you feel childish?”
Shi Nan narrowed his eyes: “That’s not the case. I was just curious as to why you suddenly skipped work and wanted to go to the amusement park.”
“I just want to take you to the amusement park.” Song Linsheng said.
On the way to the amusement park, Shi Nan closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was actually spinning rapidly.
Although Song Linsheng said that he just wanted to take him to the amusement park, Shi Nan was more inclined to believe Song Xiaobai’s words.
But why didn’t Song Linsheng tell the truth?
Because Song Linsheng was the one who confessed to him and confirmed their relationship, so his behavior in many things would be different from Song Xiaobai’s.
For example, regarding the amusement park, if Song Linsheng said that he had an agreement with Xiao Bei, Shi Nan would definitely be furious at that time. So he didn’t say anything.
The reason why Song Xiaobai dared to say it was because there was no relationship between them as a couple.
If… if he and Song Xiaobai were in a relationship, what would Song Xiaobai’s words and deeds be like?
Shi Nan suddenly sat up.
“What’s wrong?” Song Linsheng asked with concern.
“No, it’s okay.” Shi Nan pointed not far away, “We’re here.”
The two parked the car, bought tickets, and then went to queue up. The first stop was the drop tower ride.
“Shall we go together?” Shi Nan asked without much hope.
“I’ll watch you play.” Song Linsheng said.
“…” Shi Nan sighed, “Why?”
“You also know that I am afraid of the dark and heights.”
Shi Nan: “…”
Shi Nan went on all the rides they had done the day before again, while the other person was responsible for taking pictures. Shi Nan felt that he never wanted to visit an amusement park again in his life.
When going back, Shi Nan deliberately took Song Linsheng on the same road he took yesterday. Song Linsheng saw the marshmallow seller and bought one, then took a bite and frowned.
But he didn’t stuff the marshmallow directly to him like Song Xiaobai, but looked at Shi Nan: “It’s not delicious.”
Shi Nan: “…”
Shi Nan took it, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth, tasting a strong artificial sweetness.
Song Linsheng smiled, then took out a wet tissue and began to wipe his hands.
Shi Nan thought this was actually the difference between couples and non-couples.
After coming out of the amusement park, Shi Nan quietly checked the time: “How about going to the movies?”
“Okay.” Song Linsheng responded to his requests.
When the two came to the cinema, Shi Nan deliberately said: “I won’t watch 4D movies anymore. The last time it sprayed water, I was so annoyed.”
“What about romance movies?” Song Linsheng asked.
“If you don’t want to watch romance, why not watch a horror movie.”
“Okay.” Song Linsheng agreed without any hesitation. Shi Nan didn’t see the slightest flaw in his face.
When watching the movie, Song Linsheng, like Song Xiaobai, was calm throughout the whole process, and his breath did not change.
Although he came here once yesterday and Shi Nan’s mind was not on the movie, he was still frightened by the bad special effects and his soul trembled. Song Linsheng reached out and hugged him. When Shi Nan called out, his palms covered his eyes to block his sight.
Shi Nan said, Brother, I called you over, but covering my eyes is useless.
When Shi Nan secretly approached Song Linsheng, Song Linsheng felt something and opened his eyes.
The two looked at each other.
As expected, hehad his eyes closed.
Shi Nan clicked his tongue: “Baby, are you afraid?”
“Are you?”
“Yes.” Shi Nan sighed, “I can laugh at you for the rest of my life because you close your eyes while watching a horror movie.” For the rest of my life?
Song Linsheng was stunned, and then suddenly pulled Shi Nan over and kissed him on the lips.
