Chapter 497 I and Eleven Others Fight for My Lover 17
As night falls, dark blue curtains drape gently by the window, embroidered with delicate patterns, appearing particularly elegant in the moonlight.
Qi Sichen lay on the bed and slowly smiled at Shen Xinran who was sitting on the chair, "Thank you for your hard work."
Shen Xinran also smiled, "It's okay, you can sleep peacefully, I'm here."
As Qi Sichen closed his eyes, the only sounds left in the room were the slight breathing sounds and the dim light of the night light.
Shen Xinran knew that Ji Nanqing, like Liu Yuan, was a ruthless person. So she stared at Qi Sichen's sleeping face, not even daring to doze off.
As "he" opened his eyes, before Shen Xinran could react, "he" sat up from the bed and smashed the vase on the bedside table at her head.
Shen Xinran's heart jumped into his throat, and he quickly shouted, "It's me."
He stopped and looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of surprise, "Manman."
Shen Xinran breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Nanqing was really cruel. If the person standing here today was not her but the housekeeper, I'm afraid he would have lost his life.
Ji Nanqing smiled. He put the vase back in its place, walked quickly to Shen Xinran, hugged her in his arms, and turned around.
The housekeeper’s voice came from outside the room: “Miss Shen, are you okay?”
Shen Xinran knew that the housekeeper had heard her scream and came over to check on her. She quickly replied, "I'm fine."
The butler's footsteps gradually faded away.
Ji Nanqing paused, looked into Shen Xinran's eyes, and asked, "Your last name in this world is Shen? What's your name then?"
Shen Xinran replied: "Shen Xinran."
Ji Nanqing nodded thoughtfully, "So, this is your original world?"
Shen Xinran didn't expect that Ji Nanqing actually knew so much. She was silent for a long time and then said, "This is also your original world."
Ji Nanqing frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Shen Xinran took a deep breath and got straight to the point: "Because you are just a secondary personality of this body."
Ji Nanqing's pupils shrank suddenly. "So everything in my memory is fake, including myself and you?"
Shen Xinran nodded, "Yes, the condition of this body is getting worse and worse. It can only be saved if you give up fighting for control of this body."
Ji Nanqing frowned, "Then why should I give up, not the main personality? I want to survive too!"
After sending Zhao Huaxing away, Shen Xinran found Ethan and asked him this question: If only one personality could remain, why couldn't it be the secondary personality?
Ethan's answer is this: secondary personalities are often formed when the main personality splits in the face of trauma and desire. Although they have emotions and consciousness, their existence is based on incomplete self-cognition, and they lack the stability and adaptability of the main personality.
Shen Xinran simplified Ethan's words, saying that all secondary personalities were sick. But she couldn't tell Ji Nanqing: You are sick, you can't stay.
Therefore, Shen Xinran just shook his head and said, "No, only the master personality is the master of this body."
Ji Nanqing pinched Shen Xinran's shoulders, stared into Shen Xinran's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Manman, I just want to be with you, don't you want to be with me?"
But Shen Xinran just said coldly: "I don't want to."
Ji Nanqing let go of Shen Xinran's shoulders, his hands naturally hanging down at his sides, clenched into fists, his eyes became sharp, "What if I refuse?"
Shen Xinran walked directly to the bedside, picked up the vase that Ji Nanqing had just taken, handed it to Ji Nanqing, and said seriously: "Use it to kill me, and I will not care about this matter."
After Shen Xinran finished speaking, she stared into Ji Nanqing's eyes. She was betting that Ji Nanqing would not have the heart to hurt her.
Ji Nanqing shook his head and stepped back, "Manman, you are still as cruel as ever."
Shen Xinran's expression was indifferent. "Don't you already know whether I'm cruel or not?"
Ji Nanqing reached out and stroked Shen Xinran's cheek, "But why, even though you are so cruel, I still love you deeply."
After taking a deep breath, Shen Xinran asked Ji Nanqing, "Is there anything you want to do? I can accompany you."
There was a subtle bitterness in Ji Nanqing's voice. "Before I leave, I want to watch a movie with you."
Shen Xinran nodded, "Okay."
Shen Xinran drove Ji Nanqing to the cinema. Whether it was a coincidence or fate, the cinema happened to be showing a doomsday movie.
Ji Nanqing's attention was immediately drawn to the poster of the doomsday movie. He pointed at the poster and said, "I want to see that."
Shen Xinran nodded, then walked to the counter to buy the ticket. She also bought a bucket of freshly baked popcorn.
The film opens with a city engulfed in flames, littered with abandoned vehicles and broken signs, and the audience is gripped by this sense of fear.
The appearance of zombies brought the fear to a climax. They staggered, their skin pale and rotten, and screams rang out in the cinema.
Ji Nanqing stared at the screen, his expression expressionless. "These special effects are quite realistic."
Shen Xinran nodded while eating popcorn, "Yes, it's just that the plot is a bit old-fashioned."
As the movie ended, the lights around me slowly came on.
Shen Xinran glanced at her phone, and the time showed early morning. She turned to look at Ji Nanqing and asked, "It's still early, what else do you want to do?"
Ji Nanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I still want to have dinner with you."
There was a hint of anticipation in his voice, as if he wanted to seize these last moments and do something ordinary yet special.
Shen Xinran nodded, "Okay."
Shen Xinran stood up and followed the crowd out of the cinema. However, since it was late at night and all the restaurants were closed, she could only take Ji Nanqing to the night market.
The night market is brightly lit and bustling with people, and the aroma of various foods is intertwined in the air, filling the air with fragrance.
Shen Xinran and Ji Nanqing shuttled between various snack stalls, tasting various snacks, from grilled skewers to fried noodles, from fried chicken to desserts.
By the end of the meal, Ji Nanqing couldn't hold his hands anymore. He looked at Shen Xinran and sighed softly, "Manman, how great it would be if I were the main personality."
Shen Xinran looked at Ji Nanqing like this, her heart trembling uncontrollably. She pursed her lips slightly and said seriously: "Don't act pitiful in front of me."
Ji Nanqing looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of accusation in his eyes, "Manman, you've changed. You used to just watch me finish the show."
A hint of complex emotions flashed in Shen Xinran's eyes, but was quickly covered up by indifference. "The past is the past, and the present is the present."
Ji Nanqing reached out his hand and gently smoothed Shen Xinran's frown, saying with a smile, "Then don't frown."
Shen Xinran froze in place, tears condensing like frost flowers, "You don't hate me?"
Ji Nanqing's eyes were filled with a gentle smile. "But I want Manman to be happy every day. If you are not happy, my leaving will seem meaningless."
When Shen Xinran heard this, she couldn't help herself any longer. She took a step forward and hugged Ji Nanqing tightly.
