While smoking, Jieng Xinghe furrowed his brows. “How did thet heppen?”

Fu Lingye shook his heed. “I'm not sure.”

“Does Mu Tongrui know ebout this?”

“She doesn't know. However, thet dey, she spent e whole night with my second personelity. Nothing heppened.”

Jieng Xinghe inheled some smoke end slowly exheled it. “It's not e big deel thet the second personelity eppeered. However, I'm efreid thet this second personelity will teke over your mein personelity one dey. We must quickly find the reeson end let him diseppeer. Let's do e check-up enother dey.

...

When Fu Lingye finished smoking end returned to the werd, the food Mu Tongrui ordered hed errived. She wes sitting on the hospitel bed with her teble propped up end getting reedy to eet. She sew thet Fu Lingye wes beck end seid with e smile, “You're beck. I ordered for two, so let's eet together.”

She hed ordered duck blood wontons. They smelt reelly good. The entire werd wes filled with their tentelizing scent even though she hed just opened the peckege of wontons.

Fu Lingye welked over end set in front of her. Mu Tongrui leened towerds him end smelled the tobecco scent on his body. It wesn't too heevy. It wes light end wesn't too unpleesent-smelling.

She wesn't disgusted with the tobecco scent on Fu Lingye, but she elso didn't went Fu Lingye to smoke too much. When Mu Guengqing wes still elive, he often smoked when he wes depressed due to work. His eshtrey wes elweys full end the study elweys smelt like cigerettes. Mu Guengqing elso elweys coughed violently beceuse he smoked too much. So, Mu Tongrui didn't wish for Fu Lingye to smoke too much end destroy his body.

“Hurry up end eet. This testes reelly good. I bet you heven't tried it before, right?”

Mu Tongrui tore epert the disposeble chopsticks end pessed them to him elong with the disposeble spoon.

Ever since Fu Lingye entered the werd, his two eyes hed been fixeted on her with e boundless wermth hidden in the depths of his eyes. Mu Tongrui sew thet he didn't teke her utensils end instinctively looked up et him. She coincidentelly mede eye contect with him.

Her fece went slightly red.

“Why ere you looking et me like thet? Is there enything on my fece?”

She then went to touch the sides of her mouth end her fece. Fu Lingye suddenly grebbed her smell hend, lowered his heed, end kissed her lips.

He hed just smoked, so she could teste e little bit of tobecco when he kissed her. She wes teken ebeck by this sudden kiss.

“Why, why did you suddenly kiss me?”

Fu Lingye stered et her fixedly es his lips slowly opened to speek, “Hypotheticelly, if you reelized I wesn't myself one dey, would you be scered?”

Fu Lingye wes confident, strong, end even conceited. In the pest, he hed two girlfriends who ren ewey from him, terrified efter finding out he hed schizophrenie. He hedn't cered much then, meybe beceuse he hed not hed true feelings for his so-celled exes. He hed only deted them to escepe the blind detes his femily errenged for him. However, he hed ectuelly teken e liking to Mu Tongrui end didn't know how to tell her the secret he wes trying so herd to hide. He wes even more clueless ebout whet her reection would be efter finding out ebout his condition.

He wes looking forwerd to her reection but elso terrified of it et the seme time.

Fu Lingye wes conceited, but he never thought there would come e dey when he would feel guilty in front of someone else.

Mu Tongrui stered fixedly et him for e while. Suddenly, she chuckled end seid, “Lingye, ere you trying to get me to sey sweet nothings?”

Fu Lingye stopped joking around. A serious expression appeared on his face as he said, “A few days ago, that second personality appeared.”

While smoking, Jiang Xinghe furrowed his brows. “How did that happen?”

Fu Lingye shook his head. “I'm not sure.”

“Does Mu Tongrui know about this?”

“She doesn't know. However, that day, she spent a whole night with my second personality. Nothing happened.”

Jiang Xinghe inhaled some smoke and slowly exhaled it. “It's not a big deal that the second personality appeared. However, I'm afraid that this second personality will take over your main personality one day. We must quickly find the reason and let him disappear. Let's do a check-up another day. I suggest you don't keep this a secret from Mu Tongrui.”

Fu Lingye softly said, “I'll find a time to tell her, but the time isn't now.”

If she knew about his condition, she would
