Chapter 137 All thanks to Yan Yu
Shen Jin's question startled Luo Zheng, who seemed to doubt that she had heard something wrong. She didn't react for a long time, staring straight into Shen Jin's clear, smiling eyes.
The more he reacted this way, the more Chen Jin wanted to tease him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at him with amusement, and said jokingly, "Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Luo Zheng snapped out of her daze, quickly avoiding his gaze and turning her head back slightly. She pulled away from his hand that was gripping her chin and asked, keeping a small distance from him, "What... is wrong?"
"What did I do wrong?" Shen Jin smiled faintly and leaned closer. "Don't change the subject. We haven't finished talking yet. Do you prefer the current me or the old me?"
Luo Zheng's mind went blank for a moment. Before she could think, she felt that Shen Jin's face was about to be pressed against hers if she didn't answer, so she immediately and passively said, "...I like them all."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jin couldn't help but laugh, his eyes crinkling with joy. He picked up some fruit and fed it to Luo Zheng, saying with a smile, "Just answer properly, why are you so nervous?"
Luo Zheng took a breath, ate what he fed her, calmed down a little, and said hesitantly, "How can I not be nervous? You weren't like this before. I didn't even realize it at first."
Luo Zheng was stunned after she finished speaking. She remembered what the doctor had told them before: that Shen Jin might have a split personality after waking up. When he first woke up, no one had noticed this in him, so they thought that what the doctor said was just a possibility.
It's a simple guess, but it doesn't necessarily mean it will actually happen.
But only then did he realize that this might be Shen Jin's second personality...
This realization surprised Luo Zheng, and her expression became a little strange. She pondered Shen Jin for a moment and found it somewhat unbelievable.
Can a person with a split personality really be that different from their original personality?
Shen Jin didn't seem bothered by his gaze and let him stare at her. She even gave him a flirtatious wink and teased, "If you keep staring at me, I'm going to kiss you."
Luo Zheng: "...Huh?"
This second personality, Chen Jin, is seriously off! It's a bit scary!! It's completely different from before!
After a turmoil of emotions overwhelmed Luo Zheng, she felt a surge of thoughts. After scrutinizing Chen Jin from head to toe for a while, she asked softly, "Are you... another personality?"
"Huh?" This time it was Shen Jin's turn to be taken aback, blinked, and then couldn't help but laugh. "You can actually tell the difference?"
I knew Yan Yu was an idiot who knew nothing. All he did was put on a pitiful and aggrieved face in front of me. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying him... But who was bullying whom back then?
Hearing that he didn't deny it, Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that Shen Jin had suffered a shock after the car accident, which caused his personality to change drastically. However, it turned out to be another personality with dissociative identity disorder. Thank goodness...
Wait a minute! Dissociative identity disorder is a problem too! What's so great about it?! It's a serious, major problem!!
Luo Zheng was completely bewildered, utterly at a loss for what to do. All she could do was rub her temples and press down the restless and thrashing Shen Jin, saying, "Wait, wait, what about you now? Will you ever be able to recover?"
Seeing that this was the question he was concerned about, Shen Jin instantly became upset. His previously smiling face fell, and he asked unhappily, "You don't like me as I am now?"
Luo Zheng didn't understand why he would ask such a question, but she still shook her head and said, "...That's not what I meant."
Shen Jin chuckled, then pressed on, "So what do you mean?"
Luo Zheng: "That was..."
Well, everyone influenced by him is now at a loss for words.
Luo Zheng could only stare at him. Neither of them changed their expressions, their eyes fixed on each other. This kind of behavior would either cause one of them to awkwardly look away after a while, or they would suddenly burst out laughing.
The two of them were the latter, and after staring at each other for a while, they couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Zheng felt that although Shen Jin's second personality was a bit different from the previous one, she didn't dislike him. She just didn't know what would happen after the personality split, and whether it would ever get better.
"Don't ask so many questions about the primary or secondary personality. I can tell them apart. But if you want to ask in more detail, I won't tell you." Shen Jin took a bite of the cut fruit. "But I can tell you one thing: I became like this entirely because of Yan Yu!"
"It's all his fault!!" After saying that, he was still unconvinced, snorted, and continued eating his apple, ignoring Luo Zheng's somewhat worried and helpless expression.
Luo Zheng smiled helplessly, not intending to ask about Yan Yu at this moment. Watching him eat the apple with relish, she asked, "Won't this cause any harm to your body or your personality?"
“Oh, you can rest assured, there’s no harm in it. It’s just that you have two thoughts.” Shen Jin said nonchalantly, ate another piece of fruit, and continued, “But to put it simply, you might be a little abnormal, like what people often call a lunatic.”
Luo Zheng: "..."
As expected, it's really hard to accept Shen Jin's alter ego in a short period of time.
Seeing that he was speechless, Shen Jin kindly reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him with a few words: "It's nothing, don't worry, life is colorful."
Luo Zheng: "..."
I'm finding it increasingly harder and harder to understand what he's saying.
"This hospital is so stuffy. I think I'm almost fully recovered, so I guess I can be discharged soon?" Shen Jin became excited when he talked about being able to leave the hospital. "I've been lying in the hospital ever since I woke up, and I'm so bored."
"I've finally returned to this familiar city, but I haven't even had a chance to look around properly or reminisce," Chen Jin sighed softly. "It's quite a pity."
“Your condition is still unstable, and the doctor wants you to stay in the hospital for observation for a while longer,” Luo Zheng comforted him, knowing that no one would want to stay in the hospital. “If you really feel too bored, I can accompany you to go for a walk around the neighborhood; it’s quite lively.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jin's eyes lit up instantly, as if sparkling with light. He laughed happily like a child and excitedly said, "Great! Let's go out and play! Even if things outside are terrible, it's still much better than the hospital!"
When it came to going out to play, he was as excited as a child. His clear and beautiful eyes were filled with his desire to go out and play, so eager that Luo Zheng didn't know what to say.
It just feels like it's really hard for anyone to refuse him, or at least it's hard for him to refuse.
Luo Zheng couldn't help but laugh. Although he usually had a serious expression and his features were somewhat sharp, his eyes and brows softened when he smiled, making him look quite sweet.
If it were the dominant personality, Shen Jin, she might not have paid attention to so many details. But this one is different; she's a sucker for good looks and is almost tempted by his beauty. She exclaimed "Huh!" and blinked at him, saying, "Your smile is so sweet!"
"..." Luo Zheng, who was smiling, was caught off guard and choked a few times. She managed to suppress her smile a little. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're talking more than before."
Shen Jin made a face at him, stuck out his tongue, and snorted, laughing, "You're clearly very happy. Look at you, the corners of your mouth are uncontrollably turning up, you can't suppress it!"
Luo Zheng: "..."
He felt that he could no longer have a proper conversation with Shen Jin; he always felt like he was being teased by him repeatedly.
"Nonsense." Luo Zheng retorted with a smile, then sighed helplessly, unable to figure out how to deal with Shen Jin's situation, which didn't seem like he would recover anytime soon.
Moreover, Shen Jin said it was because of Yan Yu... So, in the end, if things were to be completely restored, would it also have something to do with him?
Luo Zheng couldn't figure it out, so she had to keep the question to herself and wait to hear what the doctor had to say.
The Rong family also learned about Shen Jin's split personality. As for Rong's mother, she had been separated from Shen Jin for too long, and they had only spent a few days together after meeting again. As for what kind of personality he had, she was a little confused.
All she knew was that he was her long-lost son, and no matter what, she couldn't let him get hurt again this time.
“There have been cases like his before, but it’s hard to say whether he can fully recover. After all, people can’t always have only one side,” the doctor said. “People have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; all kinds of emotions are another side of a person.”
"Now that he has been stimulated and another personality has awakened, it will be difficult to erase this personality. They are ultimately the same person. To give a simple example, when doing something, it seems that there is a voice in your heart encouraging you to do it, and another voice is afraid and does not want you to do it."
"Whether or not to do it in the end depends on which thought or idea is stronger," the doctor explained at length. "He is in a similar situation now, with a split personality. Either one personality will be strong enough to suppress the other, or they will gradually merge, accept each other, and become one. In the end, they are all thoughts born from one person."
The doctor rattled off a long explanation to the terrified family members, but they were completely bewildered, understanding very little and becoming even more confused.
But Shen Jin was happy, living carefree with a bright smile on his face, thoroughly enjoying himself.
However, this was terrible for Yan Yu and Xie Li, but often, something even worse was yet to come...
