Ning Shen’s fox-like eyes, which had been sleepy just moments before, instantly sharpened as he glared at Feng Jue. “Are you, the future Family Head Feng, very free?”
Since Feng Xuan’s imprisonment and the ensuing chaos within the Feng family, Feng Jue had stepped into the spotlight. All the prominent families in the capital recognized him as the talented son of the late Feng family’s patriarch, who had died young.
With the Feng family teetering on the brink of collapse due to the Dream Seeking Group’s assault, there were only two choices left: the direct descendants could go bankrupt and see their century-old family decline, or they could accept Feng Jue as their leader and fight to the bitter end.
Feng Jue smiled. “No matter how busy you are, you still find time to accompany your girlfriend. It’s normal not to understand.”
He was openly mocking Ning Shen for being single. A person as deranged as him didn’t deserve a wife.
Feng Jue settled into a chair in the opposite corridor, propping his head up with one hand and smiling innocently. “Sister, I’ll wait for you here.”
Gu Yang nodded lightly and turned to Ning Shen, who was still staring coldly at Feng Jue. “Young Master Ning, please come in.”
Ning Shen began to describe the peculiarities he had experienced over the past few days. Although he rarely remembered his dreams upon waking, those he had during this period felt especially vivid and real, as if they had truly happened.
Ning Shen couldn’t sleep the entire night, his eyes bloodshot. “Gu Yang, what exactly is going on?”
Gu Yang sat opposite him, casually trimming the bamboo with a small pair of scissors. “Ning Shen, didn’t you guess already? Those are memories from your other personality.”
Ning Shen’s hands clenched tightly, his entire body tensing up. “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can this be…?”
He shook his head repeatedly, but the dreams only became clearer in his mind.
Gu Yang looked up at him with interest. “I’m very curious—what did you dream about?”
Ning Shen only mentioned that he had some strange but vivid dreams, refusing to disclose the details. However, seeing his distressed state, Gu Yang began to piece things together.
He stared at her, desperation in his eyes. “Take them away! That’s not me! I didn’t do those things! I don’t want his memories! Gu Yang, you promised to help me destroy the other personality.”
Ning Shen couldn’t face the truth.
Gu Yang, however, refused to relent. “The other personality is gradually disappearing, but he is still a part of you. Since he existed before, how could there be no traces left behind?”
“Young Master Ning, don’t worry. You’ve made great progress. I believe you’ll be able to fully access the memories of the second personality in less than two weeks.”
Ning Shen felt all the strength drain from his body.
He couldn’t remember how he left the mental hospital and returned to the Ning family.
Unknowingly, he found himself standing at the door of Ning Gui’s room. He wanted to reach out and knock, but memories of the young girl crying flashed through his mind. His hand froze in place, and he stood there like a statue for a long time.
His suit was covered in snow and gradually melted. He looked especially disheveled.
Ning Gui originally wanted to stay in the laboratory during the winter break, but on the day of the break, Ning Shen personally brought her home.
She was forced to stay at home and couldn’t participate in Academician Li’s research project. Feeling depressed, she recalled Gu Yang’s description of the future and decided to take out a stack of physics books to study.
That day, she was deeply engrossed in her studies. The servants at home brought her three meals a day, but it was now 11:30 p.m., and she felt hungry after hours of learning. Having finished all the snacks in her room, she opened the door to head downstairs in search of some supper—only to find Ning Shen standing there.
