Chen Zui regained consciousness, but his head still felt the pain from the sharp sound.
[Aotian, are you okay? ]
The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Aotian. This sound could only mean that something was wrong with Aotian.
[It's okay, wait for me, I'll go upgrade my defense.]
There was no sound in his head. Chen Zui rubbed his temples and took out a cigarette.
【Upgrade completed.】
[The damned bookstore must be their fault! ]
Chen Zui slowly exhaled smoke: [Through the bookstore?]
[Yes, they've noticed our presence in the Secret Bookstore and are targeting us, deploying a system into the small world to set things right.]
Chen Zui looked towards the door thoughtfully, and across from him was Li Jingtang.
[When they are deployed into the system, do they also need to be bound to the host? ]
【Yes. 】
[We were attacked just now, but don't worry, after strengthening our defenses, they won't be able to break through for a while.]
After talking with Aotian, Chen Zui roughly figured out the current situation. He had previously wondered how Li Jingtang realized that he could so calmly accept the fact that he killed Chen Zui and that he and Chen Zui were the same person.
The case has been solved now, probably because of this system.
Li Jingtang is bound to the system, and this system is designed to allow the plot line to return, so Li Jingtang will contact Yuan Man later.
Li Jingtang knew through the system that he was also bound to the system.
But he probably doesn't know yet that he already knows that he is also bound to the system.
Finished a cigarette.
Chen Zui smiled and said that future developments are worth looking forward to.
——
On the other side, Li Jingtang had no desire to sleep at all. He spent a long time checking Chen Mo's situation on his mobile phone.
"It turns out this isn't called schizophrenia, it's called split personality..."
He muttered, not expecting that this was not the same meaning.
If you want to prove whether Chen Mo really has split personality, the best way is to have a professional psychologist examine, analyze and judge him.
He couldn't just say to Chen Mo tomorrow: Hey, I think you are mentally ill, I will take you to see a doctor.
Since it is not convenient to take him to see a doctor, I can only let the doctor see him.
Li Jingtang made up his mind and lay down again, thinking he could fall asleep, but suddenly he smelled the scent of roses coming from the pillow and quilt, which reminded him of Chen Zui.
That’s right, it’s Chen Zui.
Even though he now knew that Chen Zui and Chen Mo were the same person, he still couldn't psychologically see the two as one.
The cigarettes Chen Zui smoked were those with a rose scent. The man would hold the slender white cigarette stem between his slender fingers, and the roses on it seemed as if they were blooming on his fingertips.
The smoke lingered.
Li Jingtang buried his head in the pillow unconsciously. He wanted to smoke.
The man smoked very gracefully, bringing the cigarette to his lips, where it was held by those thin lips.
Thinking of Chen Zui's lips, Li Jingtang remembered their fierce kiss and felt his mouth dry.
The man in the bedroom closed his eyes, a lustful look on his face. He grabbed the quilt tightly and lifted one leg to press on it.
996, who was forgotten by the host, observed that the protagonist in the original novel, Li Jingtang, was a person with strong desires, so in the original novel, almost every meeting with Yuan Man would develop into a sex scene.
Now he is so hungry.
As long as I urge him to find Yuan Man...
996 fell silent instantly, because it saw its host actually put his hands behind his back...
Um?
What's going on?
996 was stunned. Li Jingtang was the top! How could a top be like that? It watched the man use his * to...
I was dumbfounded.
Can he still attack Yuan Man?
It feels like the issue now isn't just the plot going off track; the main issue is that the original top has become the bottom! Who changed him into this? That Chen Mo? Or another personality, Chen Zui?
Li Jingtang had just bound the system and forgot about the other party's existence for a moment. He didn't even react to what he was doing. He just followed his instinct. In his mind were Chen Zui's broad shoulders, strong waist, and the man's hot breath.
【Host! 】
The sudden voice in his head startled Li Jingtang, and he suddenly became paralyzed, his wide-open pupils trembling with fear.
[Host! You are the top! How could you... allow yourself to fall into depravity!]
Li Jingtang didn't understand what 996 was saying until he felt his hand being tightened.
——
He swung his hand violently, and it was wet under the light, which was irrefutable evidence of his guilt.
"I, I didn't..." Li Jingtang denied it weakly, unwilling to admit what he had done.
Then he became angry and embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have any manners? Don't you understand that you shouldn't look at anything inappropriate?" He roared at 996.
996 snorted: [You think I want to see a top? It's really eye-catching.]
The quarrel started again.
996: [Tomorrow you must go find Yuan Man and catch up on the plot you missed. Regardless of whether he's willing or not, force him to do it! Otherwise, I'll give you an electric shock!]
Li Jingtang: [You think I was scared by you? If you can, electrocute me to death.]
He was upset, why did he think of Chen Zui, and unconsciously...
But it's really uncomfortable to be neither up nor down.
——
The next day, as soon as Chen Zui opened the door, he met Li Jingtang. They both looked at each other with hidden thoughts.
Chen Zui: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Li Jingtang blushed slightly, and there was always a voice in his head saying that he was just making love with this body...
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I felt like I fainted for a while, but that's normal, it happens to me all the time."
Li Jingtang thought this was an opportunity and quickly followed Chen Zui's words, "Fainting frequently is very serious. You can't just not pay attention to it."
He grabbed Chen Zui's wrist and looked worried: "Brother Jingtang will take you to see a doctor."
Chen lowered his head with great difficulty: "I don't like going out, and I don't want to see outsiders."
"Then Brother Jingtang, call someone over and we'll stay at home." Li Jingtang held Chen Mo's shoulders more intimately, "Brother Jingtang will be worried if you do this."
Chen Zui looked up at the person who was almost whispering to him. Li Jingtang's handsome face had a smile that was like coaxing a child.
"All right."
"I'll listen to...Brother Jingtang."
Li Jingtang:!
His face was about to break from laughing. Many people called him Mr. Li or Brother Li, but only Brother Jingtang touched his heart the most.
The hand left Chen Zui's shoulder and patted his head: "Our little Momo is so good~"
He let go of her hand and walked downstairs.
Chen Zui stopped where he was. For some reason, he felt familiar with the three words "Xiao Momo".
But he didn't know anyone whose name contained the character "mo".
Li Jingtang was a man of action. The doctor arrived not long after they had finished breakfast. Li Jingtang asked Chen Zui to prepare himself mentally upstairs first because he was worried that he would be nervous.
Chen Zui was very cooperative.
Li Jingtang was greeting Dr. Wang downstairs.
Doctor Wang: "Actually, if you want a confirmed diagnosis, you still need to go to the hospital and use some equipment to do some brain examinations, which is more reliable."
Li Jingtang had no other choice: "He's unwilling to cooperate. You're the most authoritative expert in this area, so I can only choose to trust you. I'm not asking for a conclusion, but just to see how likely he is and give me a rough idea."
Chen Zui came down from upstairs 20 minutes later and glanced at Li Jingtang first. His animal-like behavior made people feel that they were very dependent on him, and they would unconsciously feel a sense of responsibility.
Li Jingtang really couldn't regard him as Chen Zui. Facing Chen Mo, he only had the heart of a brother.
Li Jingtang stayed with them for a while and then left, leaving the space for Dr. Wang and Chen Zui.
Chen Zui sat in a reserved and dignified posture, with his long legs together and his hands on his knees. He was wearing a milk tea-colored sweater today, with a blue coat draped over his back, and looked very well behaved.
Dr. Wang chatted with him casually, talking about the books he had read and the music he had listened to recently, and the conversation gradually became more in-depth.
Chen Zui gradually relaxed and even laughed when the conversation touched on something that made him happy.
Doctor Wang responded with a smile. He looked at Chen Zui with love and concern, like a gentle elder.
Gradually, it evolved into Chen Zui being the only one talking, and Dr. Wang became the one who listened.
Li Jingtang upstairs was fidgeting anxiously. More than two hours had passed and it was still not over.
996: [This matter is over, you must go find Yuan Man.]
Li Jingtang sighed. This system was so slow that he was too lazy to deal with it.
"Sorry, I was the one talking the whole time." Chen smiled embarrassedly.
Doctor Wang: "It's okay. I love listening to you talk."
Chen Zui: "I am also very happy to chat with you."
He turned around and glanced upstairs, looking a little restless.
Doctor Wang: "Sorry for disturbing you for so long, I should leave now. Could you please call Mr. Li down?"
"good."
Chen Zui immediately agreed and went upstairs happily.
Soon the two came down together. Li Jingtang looked at Dr. Wang and asked, anxious to get an answer. Dr. Wang nodded to him imperceptibly.
Li Jingtang understood that Chen Mo really had a split personality. Dr. Wang nodded, indicating that there was an 80% possibility.
After seeing off Doctor Wang, Chen Zui said to Li Jingtang, "I like this Uncle Wang. It's fun chatting with him."
Li Jingtang was in a complicated mood. On the one hand, he was relieved that Chen Mo did not become a murderer. On the other hand... even though he was unwilling to admit it, he felt a little regretful because of Chen Zui's complete disappearance.
"You like him, so we can let him come over and chat with you more often in the future."
Chen Zui didn't agree immediately. He looked at Li Jingtang as if he was acting like a spoiled child and said, "But you went upstairs after Uncle Wang came."
He grabbed Li Jingtang's sleeve and said, "I prefer you to be with me."
How could Li Jingtang bear it? He immediately got excited: "Brother Jingtang will always be with you."
——
In the car, Li Jingtang blinked in confusion. Chen Zui was sitting next to him, clinging to the car window like a big dog, full of curiosity about the outside.
That’s right, he promised to stay with Chen Mo all the time, but now he is going to find Yuan Man!
only……
Thinking back to when he was about to leave, Chen Mo was about to cry, as if he was a heartless liar who was going to abandon him.
He really couldn't abandon Chen Mo. Now that Chen Zui's personality was no longer there to protect him, he was Chen Mo's brother from now on.
996: [You were supposed to do this with Yuan Man today, but with this burden, what are you going to do?]
Li Jingtang: [Watch your words. Chen Mo is not a burden.]
Chen Zui looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic and the bright lights outside the car window. He should have deceived Dr. Wang. As a mercenary, he sometimes needed to conduct interrogations and sometimes needed to be questioned. He was quite experienced in this regard.
He looked at Li Jingtang's face reflected in the car window, frowning as if he was thinking about something.
He really dotes on his identity as Chen Mo, doting on him to the point of...
He raised the corner of his mouth without any emotion.
Chen Mo is just an illusion, he himself is the dangerous Chen Zui.
When Chen Zui saw Yuan Man, he was completely sure that Li Jingtang was bound to the system.
This is to prepare the plot line to return to normal development. The eyeballs behind the lenses move and focus on Li Jingtang's plump buttocks, but can Li Jingtang still be the top now?
The place where they appeared was where Yuan Man worked. Chen Zui never expected that such an honest and dull man like Yuan Man would choose this job.
He looked at the man standing on the table and twisting stiffly. His big breasts seemed to be about to burst out and it seemed that milk would flow out as he twisted. The people in the bar shouted excitedly, watched, and took pictures with their mobile phones.
The stiffer Yuan Man's movements and the more shy his expression were, the more excited everyone felt.
Chen Zui and Li Jingtang were sitting far away. Dancing on the table in front of them was a boy with an innocent appearance and cool clothes, his waist twisting like a snake.
Li Jingtang didn't expect that Yuan Man would actually work here. He looked at Chen Zui with some concern, and saw that the man's eyes were wide open, and he looked like he had never seen the world before, which was very cute.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" he asked. After all, there were so many people here and it was crazy.
Chen Zui shook his head, moved closer to Li Jingtang, and said seriously, "I think your figure will look the best if you go up there to dance, Brother Jingtang."
Who doesn't like to be praised?
Li Jingtang was very proud. He put one hand on the back of the chair behind Chen Zui and tapped it, holding the wine glass: "You are quite bold. I can't dance."
In fact, when it comes to body shape, Chen Zui doesn’t have big breasts, but the size of his breasts is just right, the most perfect.
Li Jingtang glanced at the boy in front of him and imagined that he was Chen Zui.
Very awkward.
Chen is not suitable for twisting his waist like a snake. He is suitable for thrusting his hips like the man at the other table and dancing a dance full of male hormones.
A burst of noise brought Li Jingtang back to his senses. He looked at Chen Mo, from his face to his waist: "Can Xiao Momo dance?"
Chen Zui shook his head.
Li Jingtang pointed at the man who was dancing with great energy and said, "I think that kind of dance would be perfect for you. How about learning it? Brother Jingtang will definitely find the best teacher to teach you. When I go to the company, you can learn it when you're bored at home."
His tone was very much like coaxing.
Chen Mo's darkest eyes looked less dangerous behind the lenses, and Li Jingtang didn't notice them under the flashing lights. He just listened to Chen Mo's questions.
"You want me to learn that pushing and shoving dance?"
He nodded.
Chen Zui smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Jingtang rubbed Chen Zui's head happily: "Little Momo is so good~"
Yuan Man gets off work at 11 o'clock. If it is the night shift, he will not get off work until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.
He put on his coat to cover his overly exposed chest muscles. He found this job by accident. Although he felt ashamed at first, the money was huge and he wanted to make more money so that he could return the money to his benefactor.
He came out of the back door of the bar and the horn of a luxury car on the side of the road honked.
He looked over and saw Li Jingtang's face revealed through the lowered car window.
Yuan Man immediately turned around and walked away. He would definitely do what he promised to his benefactor and would never have anything to do with him.
Li Jingtang was just about to order the driver to catch up.
Chen Zui: "So Brother Jingtang is here to see him, am I in the way?"
Li Jingtang almost choked to death on the smoke: "Ahem... No, no, what are you talking about?"
He looked towards Chen Zui and saw him with his head lowered, half of his face in the shadows, only the shadow of his eyelashes trembling in grievance.
"I just have something to talk to him about." Li Jingtang explained guiltily.
Chen Zui: "I'd better go back and not keep you any longer."
Li Jingtang took a deep breath. It was over. There was no coaxing. He smiled apologetically: "It's okay, it's okay. Brother Jingtang will go back with you."
Have the driver drive home.
996: [What are you doing? Your mission target is Yuan Man, not him.]
Li Jingtang: [He just killed a personality and is in an unstable state. How can I leave him alone? Even if you are a system, you should have some conscience.]
996: [Don't tell me this. I only care about the mission. You have repeatedly refused to complete the mission. I will now punish you with electric shocks.]
Li Jingtang: [If you dare to electrocute me, I will jump out of the car and commit suicide. After I die, I will see how you correct the plot line.]
996: [You!!!]
Li Jingtang's mind became quiet. He snorted, thinking that he was easy to control.
"Brother Jingtang, are you angry?"
Li Jingtang smiled gently as soon as he saw Chen Zui, and patted his head: "No, our little Momo is so well-behaved, and she even wants to learn to dance for me. How can I bear to be angry with you?"
The atmosphere inside the car was very good.
Aotian: Remember, men who act like spoiled children have the best life.
——
Chen Zui: [No increase in favorability today?]
Aotian: [It seems you need to learn to dance. ]
Of course Chen Zui did not learn to dance. Li Jingtang stayed here for one night and went to the company the next day.
He walked her all the way to the door: "Brother Jingtang, I'll cook dinner tonight."
"Okay, then I have to come back early."
Chen Zui spent a leisurely day at home doing boxing and watching movies. When it was almost time, he ordered a takeout and put it on a plate.
Li Jingtang was very busy that day. He hadn't been to the company much recently, and there were a lot of things piled up that needed his attention.
Even though she was tired, she was still very supportive: "Wow, you made so many delicious dishes, you're amazing! Whoever gets to date our little Momo in the future will be blessed."
Chen Zui smiled embarrassedly and watched Li Jingtang eat.
Li Jingtang actually wanted to say, I already know what you look like, just take off your mask, but Dr. Wang told him not to provoke him.
He was very tired today. After eating and washing up, he went to bed.
As for why I live here, I can’t think about it for the time being.
Chen Zui: [Favorability still hasn't increased?]
Aotian: [No.]
Judging from Li Jingtang's attitude, Chen Zui thought that he just liked girls who were well-behaved and suitable for family life, but his favorability towards her had not increased in the past few days.
He cooked such a large table of dishes, but his favorability didn't even increase by 1%.
996 is very worried because the host it is bound to has no intention of returning to the plot line, and all this is because of the boy named Chen Mo.
But through the clues it has found recently, the host seems to hate Chen Mo's other personality, Chen Zui. If Chen Mo disappears and is replaced by Chen Zui, the host should stay away from the other party and concentrate on the mission.
But it is just a system, and it cannot erase the existence of the other party.
996 thought about it all night and cleared the cache more than ten times to ensure its operation.
Finally, he came up with an idea. As long as he could make the host believe that Chen Mo's split personality was fake, a disguise, and a deception to him, then he would feel disgusted with Chen Mo.
It doesn't care whether Chen Mo's split personality is true or false, and it doesn't care what will happen to Chen Mo when he is stimulated. Chen Mo is just an insignificant little character, and it doesn't matter whether he is crazy or dead.
Li Jingtang just opened his eyes.
996: [Chen Mo doesn't have a split personality, he's just pretending.]
Li Jingtang suddenly woke up: [What did you say? ]
996: [He was lying to you, and he used the binding system to deceive Dr. Wang. Otherwise, what's the point of wanting to bind a mental patient?]
It makes sense.
But Li Jingtang couldn't believe it for a moment. If Chen Mo didn't have a split personality...
996: [His only purpose is to hold you back and prevent you from returning to the plot line. Isn't that what's happening now?]
996: [No matter what, he only approaches you because of that system, he has no sincerity towards you.]
This sentence was somewhat heartbreaking, but it reminded Li Jingtang of Chen Zui. He did appear suddenly and pestered him for no reason.
The scales in my heart began to tilt.
But the truth made Li Jingtang angry. Was there no sincerity at all? Even Chen Mo didn't have any sincerity towards him?
996: [Don't get entangled with him anymore. He's always treating you like a dog.]
Just as Chen Zui was about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside and almost hit him.
He took a step back and looked at the imposing Li Jingtang.
"What's wrong?"
Li Jingtang stared at Chen Mo: "I miss your brother."
Chen Zui:!
This sentence was indeed unexpected, but it made him happy.
Li Jingtang muttered, "It would be great if he wasn't dead," and went downstairs.
Chen Zui's gaze followed Li Jingtang.
The morning meal was eaten in silence. Finally, Chen Zui spoke cautiously, "Are you blaming me for killing my eldest brother?"
Li Jingtang did not answer immediately, but lit a cigarette. He found the cigarette box in Chen Zui's room, and his mouth was filled with the scent of roses.
He smiled bitterly: "No, I don't blame you, it's just..."
He looked reminiscing and regretful: "It's just that I still have a lot to say to him."
Chen Zui: "But he treated you like that..."
"Yeah." Li Jingtang looked at Chen Zui, "I haven't even asked him why he treated me like that? He died, and I will never know the answer."
Aotian: [He's acting weird today.]
Aotian: [As an M, he wouldn't like Chen Zui's personality, right?]
Aotian: [You bet on the wrong horse.]
Li Jingtang sighed again: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to the company."
Chen Zui was the only one left in the house. He sat still on the dining chair, thinking about what Li Jingtang had said.
It was a rare situation that made him unsure.
——
night
Chen Zui was sitting in the living room when he saw Li Jingtang walking over with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist and sitting down next to him. The water droplets on the man's body had not been wiped clean yet and rolled down his chest muscles into his abdominal muscles.
He leaned sideways, almost sticking to Chen Zui.
Her legs were crossed, and the long leg that was raised was exposed to Chen Zui's sight, shaking slightly.
There is a faint scent of roses on her body.
"Chen Mo, I sprained my waist today. Can you help me apply the medicated oil?"
Li Jingtang said as he handed the medicine bottle in his hand to Chen Zui.
He was thinking that he would risk his looks today. If Chen Mo was seduced by him, he would be the beast Chen Zui!
It’s no wonder that Li Jingtang had this idea. After all, every time Chen Zui saw him, he was... ruthless.
