"I've been keeping this thing hanging on me, is that okay?" Xu Xiao took out the small medicine bag that Chen Nan had given her. As soon as they entered the room, Chen Nan told her everything.

Xu Xiao had always thought she was normal, but Chen Nan and the others were worried about her. If just a few tests could allay their concerns, it wouldn't be a big deal for her.

She is still patient with her own people.

"Axiao, I'll go in first." Fang Hui was not surprised by this.

The senior brother nodded excitedly: "Of course! Xu, let's go! Don't worry, it will only take a few minutes."

But after the three of them finished their meal and washed the dishes, it was getting darker and darker, and the two of them still didn't come out. Chen Nan paced back and forth anxiously in the yard, occasionally looking up at the closed door not far away.

Fang Hui stood aside, wanting to persuade him but not daring to step forward. It was he who invited his senior brother, and in the end he was the one who did not stop him.

If anything really happened, he would never forgive himself.

Fang Hui felt a vague sense of regret, and he couldn't tell why. Perhaps it was because he saw the worry that could not be hidden on Chen Nan's face, or perhaps it was because he remembered his days abroad.

As a last disciple, he had a wide range of options, but he ultimately chose surgery because he had seen his senior brothers and predecessors in psychology, who were filled with an inexplicable madness.

There was even a glance from time to time, a cold glance, as if everyone was transparent in their eyes.

That is no longer a human being, nor a god.

He didn't want to be that kind of person, even if he could become a god.

Before he knew it, Fang Hui had walked to Chen Nan's side. He stood in front of her, with complex and regretful emotions flashing across his eyes.

"What?" Chen Nan asked angrily. It was hard for her to remain calm when it came to Xu Xiao's situation.

"...Nannan," Fang Hui spoke slowly. He was also thinking about how to tell the person in front of him and how to persuade her to be at ease, but he couldn't be at ease either.

"First, take a rest. You have to trust Brother."

But there was always a sharp voice in his mind - "Do you believe in me, brother?"

Fang Hui didn't know the answer, but he knew that such worrying was useless.

Chen Nan's face suddenly turned anxious, and he supported Fang Hui: "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Hui's face was very pale, but Chen Nan's wasn't rosy either. As for Xu Xi, he left after dinner. It was pitch black, and no one knew what he was doing outside.

When Xu Xiao came out, he saw such a horrifying scene. The lights in the yard were dim, and the warm yellow light sprinkled in the yard, but it did not drive away the charm unique to darkness.

Dark, mysterious, deep, and filled with prying eyes.

The two pale faces looked even more eerie and harmonious in the darkness.

"Xu, what did you see?" The senior brother appeared silently behind her and lowered his voice.

"Fear and worry." Xu Xiao summarized it succinctly.

The senior brother smiled without saying anything. He lowered his head and wrote a few more sentences in the small notebook, then walked towards Fang Hui and the others.

As a patient, Xu Xiao had no intention of avoiding him. She leaned against the wall, smoking a cigarette and tilting her head slightly.

The vast black sky is dotted with stars, and is inlaid with numerous stones. The stones glow and sparkle like gems.

"Her situation is very special, it's like there are two people inside her body." The senior brother flipped through the small notebook while writing and drawing on it with his head down.

On a quiet night, there was the sound of pen tips scratching across paper, and a silent rain fell at night.

Xu Xiao hooked her hand and brought a wooden chair over. She leaned back on the chair, still looking at the sky.

Clouds began to form, and it was hard to tell whether they were black or white. They suddenly floated over and slowly blocked the moon, which was not very bright to begin with.

The moon was a little round, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and it was time for them to go back.

The clouds drifted away again, but the moon was still hazy.

It was time to go to bed. Xu Xiao put out his cigarette, opened his eyes lazily, and looked at Chen Nan, who was obviously at a loss: "Nan Nan, I'm going to go back and rest first."

It's time for her to go to bed.

"Hey?" Chen Nan didn't react, but Fang Hui pointed outside and said, "Sister Xiao, you go to sleep first, and just leave the door open for me."

Even though there are many rooms now, Xu Xiao and Chen Nan still live in one room. Firstly, they find it troublesome to move around, and secondly, Xu Xiao doesn't want to move either.

They were hiding something from her.

Xu Xiao lowered her eyes and looked at the lighter in her hand. She threw it on the chair and walked towards the east.

"Boom!"

The metal slammed against the wooden chair, startling the three people and causing them to turn their heads simultaneously. Xu Xiao had already locked the room, leaving only a pale light filtering through the window.

A faded lighter lay quietly on the chair.

Seeing the lighter, Chen Nan became increasingly uneasy. She couldn't help but hold Fang Hui's hand and said, "That was bought by Chen Bei..."

Will Chen Bei come? Who knows? Even Fang Hui couldn't understand Chen Bei's thoughts. He suddenly distanced himself from Xu Xiao, no longer caring about her, and even avoiding her.

He pulled Chen Nan into his arms and nodded slightly to his senior brother: "Senior brother, are you saying that there are two people inside Ah Xiao?"

This is simply unbelievable and unbelievable!

Chen Nan's attention gradually shifted to this matter, and she asked, "Could it be caused by hypnosis?"

The senior brother couldn't explain it clearly. He came here to observe the hypnosis on Xu Xiao, but when he talked with Xu Xiao further, he confirmed his initial guess.

Xu Xiao was able to break free from the so-called hypnosis because another part of her had never been hypnotized.

But this was different from what he knew.

The two people in Xu Xiao's body, one old and one young, one is an old man, the other is a naive and domineering child. Both of them have influenced the current Xu Xiao.

My senior brother suggested, "In this case, it would be best to take her abroad and let the teacher take a look. You know, the teacher once raised the topic of schizophrenia, and I suspect Xu has this characteristic."

However, this situation can only happen to people who have experienced huge changes and are unable to accept reality and escape.

He also felt that Xu Xiao was not that kind of person.

Although Fang Hui didn't study psychology, he had some knowledge of it. Compared to Chen Nan's doubts, he was obviously much more cautious: "How confident are you in your judgment?"

"Seventy percent. Fang, you know, even the teacher can't be completely sure."

Psychology is an unknown and mysterious field. He has studied with his teacher for many years, but he cannot easily draw conclusions.

This situation was clearly beyond his control, so he suggested sending Xu Xiao for examination. However, he also knew that this was not realistic.

The senior brother added, "Perhaps there's a hypnotic component to this as well. I need to see the medicine package just now to confirm."

Fang Hui and his senior brother looked at Chen Nan. She was stunned for a moment before pointing to the room where the lights were still on: "The other bag is inside."

She divided it into two small bags, gave one to Xu Xiao, and placed the rest in the room.

Since she knew it wasn't very toxic, she didn't care so much about it.

In the end, we can only confirm one thing, that is, there is indeed something wrong with Xu Xiao, but we still need to observe carefully to find out why.

When the cold wind blew, the three of them dispersed.

The next morning, Xu Xiao went to stake out Xu's house again. Before she left, Xu Xi stopped her and handed her a piece of paper: "Sister Xu, this is——"

Before he could finish, Xu Xiao snatched it away and unfolded it. On it was a familiar handwriting, elegant and clean. It was Chen Bei's.

He asked her if she wanted to continue what she had done before?

There was only this sentence written on it. Xu Xiao raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Xi, who looked terrified. She nodded and said, "Continue."

Seeing that Xu Xiao was in a good mood, Xu Xi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xu, what does this mean? What on earth are you guys talking about?"

Xu Xiao was indeed in a good mood, and he even patiently explained: "Regarding the transfer of household registration, I have to go back to Beijing, so I can only transfer my household registration there."

As for what to continue, she didn't explain. That was her business with Chen Bei. Xu Xi nodded and was about to leave.

Looking at Xu Xi's movements, Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes and suddenly called out to him, "Xu Xi, are you going to go find him now?"

Xu Xi didn't know what was going on and thought it was the same as before, so he was very flattering: "Sister Xu, do you want to go find Brother Chen in person?"

Xu Xiao lowered his eyes, a look of deep thought flashing in his eyes: "Brother Chen? When did you two become so close?"

Xu Xi scratched his head. "Since I don't have to stay in here anymore, I thought I wouldn't have to call out to Captain Chen. So should I continue to call out to Captain Chen?"

"No need." Xu Xiao changed the subject, "When did you and Chen Bei meet?"

"That was a long time ago, maybe even before you, Sister Xu!" Xu Xi, who was already quite talkative, became even more talkative when he recalled the past. "Brother Chen back then was a ruthless man who didn't talk much. We didn't dare to mess with him, but we thought he was good-looking..."

The pretty and quiet little girl, the bad boys all wanted to provoke her, he chuckled: "She really looks like a pretty little girl, but no one in the whole compound has ever beaten her. Later, Sister Xu, you should know that after you came to the compound, we rarely looked for Brother Chen."

After all, Chen Bei and Fang Hui were punished every time, and they didn't want this to happen.

As for the reason why the two were punished, it was simple: they bullied their younger sister and caused trouble with her.

"To be honest, if it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that Brother Chen was so powerful!"

"How come it's so powerful?" Xu Xiao became interested.

"I also heard it from the people in the team..."

Not far from the educated youth site, two thatched huts stood, looking dilapidated. As you got closer, you could see thatch constantly falling.

Xu Xiao walked over slowly, looking at the man standing next to him. He was tall, and even from his back, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person.

Chen Bei was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms. Judging from his movements, he must be holding something in his hands.

Xu Xiao directly threw the lighter in his hand over.

There was a sound of breaking wind. The man didn't turn around, but casually stretched out his hand to catch the hidden weapon flying towards him. His voice was cold: "Xu Xi."

Feeling something cold in his hand, Chen Bei lowered his head and saw that it was a lighter. He immediately turned around and said hesitantly, "A Xiao, why are you here?"

"Did Xu Xi tell you?" He frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

He took two steps forward, then quickly took three steps back: "Ah Xiao, I should go now."

Xu Xiao held his hand and tilted his head slightly: "Chen Bei, are you kidding me?"

“…”

This blame can't be taken lightly. A dark light flashed in Chen Bei's eyes. He pulled Xu Xiao into his arms with his backhand and said softly, "Let me hug you first." He was a little sad.

Xu Xiao didn't struggle, but she didn't respond either. She let herself be held tightly, her hands hanging down, feeling the warmth coming from Chen Bei's body.

He was hot, and there was a coolness of morning dew on his body.

She also felt the uneasiness coming from Chen Bei, as well as the sound of his rapidly beating heartbeat.

Again and again, it almost pierced through her ears.

She buried her head in Chen Bei's neck, breathing gently. The heat hit him and in turn acted on her face.

The coldness on her back suddenly woke Xu Xiao up. She raised her hands, wanting to hug Chen Bei back, pushed Chen Bei away, and took a small step back.

She was still half-hugged by Chen Bei, but there was still some distance between them.

"Chen Bei, so, are you really kidding me?"
