Qin Yubai nodded: "I've discovered it."
He quickly added, "I also found you to be quite strange."
Jian Zhizhen glanced at him: "What's wrong with me?"
Qin Yubai sighed softly, "Didn't you say you'd investigate slowly? Now there's no evidence at all, so why did you go up and hug him, calling him 'brother'?"
Jian Zhizhen lowered his eyes and slowly moved his lips: "Because in that instant, I was truly certain that he was my brother..."
Chien Chih-chen's older brother, Chien Chun, was ill as a child and has since developed intellectual disabilities, with his cognitive abilities remaining at the level of a five-year-old.
When Chien Chih-chen was five years old, Chien Chun was ten.
Jian Zhizhen attends a regular kindergarten, while Jian Chun can only attend a special school.
At the time, Jian's parents were very busy with work and couldn't pick up their children, so they hired a nanny to pick up the two siblings. She would first pick up the older brother from the school that was a little farther away, and then pick up the younger sister from the school that was closer.
So every day after school, Chien Chih-chen has to wait at the kindergarten for a while.
That day, she waited for a long time, but the nanny and her brother never came.
She was very worried, so she decided to go home first and call her parents to ask them to go out and look for her.
But at that time, my parents were at the research base and were temporarily cut off from the outside world.
She had no choice but to ask Qin Yubai's parents for help again.
The Qin and Jian families lived together at the time, and the two families had a very good relationship.
When the Qin family heard that Jian Chun had not yet returned, the whole family set out to help search for her.
Later, Jian Zhizhen found the nanny and Jian Chun in a dark alley.
She overheard the nanny threatening Jian Chun, demanding that Jian Chun give her money from home, or she would continue to torment Jian Chun.
Jian Zhizhen lunged forward and bit the nanny's hand to protect her brother.
But how could a five-year-old girl possibly be stronger than a woman in her thirties?
The nanny knew that Jian Zhizhen was of sound mind and was afraid that she would go back and complain. So, she became emboldened and grabbed Jian Zhizhen by the neck, intending to kill her.
Jian Chun was initially very scared, but when she saw her younger sister being bullied, she picked up a stick from the side and rushed over to protect her.
Even after the nanny kicked him away, he didn't back down at all and kept charging forward...
The scene back then was just like today.
When Lin Yi stood in front of Jian Zhizhen with a stick in his hand, Jian Zhizhen was truly certain that Lin Yi was her brother.
But... how come he doesn't recognize himself at all?
Qin Yubai pondered for a moment, then pulled Jian Zhizhen to sit down on the bedside.
"I have a guess, which may not be correct."
Jian Zhizhen quickly asked, "What?"
“I suspect that Lin Yi has a split personality.” Qin Yubai’s tone wasn’t particularly certain.
Jian Zhizhen looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Qin Yubai continued with his speculation: "The main personality is your brother, the one who came out to beat people up and save you today. His intellectual disability has been cured, but he has suffered some mental damage, which has caused him to lose some of his memories and not remember that you are his sister. Moreover, he has been overtaken by the secondary personality. What we normally see is his secondary personality, which is Lin Yi."
“Generally, derivative personalities will generate their own complete memory lines. So in Lin Yi’s memory, he is the son of the movie star, Lin Yunfei’s brother, and a completely different individual from Jian Chun.”
After listening to his analysis, Jian Zhizhen nodded silently: "That is indeed possible."
This explains why he was completely different from his usual self during those few minutes.
After returning to the villa, he went upstairs to rest for half an hour.
Perhaps these two personalities reached some kind of agreement, knowing each other's existence, and then communicating and coexisting in some way.
In that half hour, the personality switch was completed.
When Lin Yi returned to the public eye, she was back to normal.
But if that's really the case...
Jian Zhizhen lowered his eyes slightly: "If I really can recognize my brother in the future, will Lin Yi's personality disappear?"
Qin Yubai could understand her feelings.
Having spent so much time with Lin Yi, she had always treated him like a brother.
If he were to disappear in the future, Jian Zhizhen would definitely not be able to bear it.
Qin Yubai could only comfort her for the time being: "This is just a guess. Whether it is true or not is another matter. Even if it is, it will not disappear. Some personalities coexist amicably, some personalities merge... In short, no one can erase the traces of his existence."
Jian Zhizhen stared at Qin Yubai quietly, her gaze lingering for two seconds.
She leaned forward, weakly resting against his chest.
Qin Yubai's body suddenly stiffened.
Jian Zhizhen said weakly, "Bai Bai, let me lean on you for a moment."
Qin Yubai hummed in agreement, then reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist with a light touch.
The two held each other quietly for a long time.
A muffled voice came from above Jian Zhizhen's head: "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry."
Jian Zhizhen raised her head in his arms and looked at him, as if she didn't know why he was apologizing.
Qin Yubai pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then told the story: "If it weren't for my night blindness, Jian Chun might not have been lost..."
Jian Zhizhen lowered her head again and leaned against him, saying, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
In fact, Qin Yubai had already won over the nanny.
He saw that both Jian Chun and Jian Zhizhen had been knocked unconscious by the nanny, and the nanny was carrying Jian Chun and about to leave.
He rushed into the alley.
But it was too late at the time, and there weren't even any streetlights in that alley.
In addition, Qin Yubai suffers from night blindness, and he becomes blind as soon as the light dims.
He stumbled and chased after her for half the distance, but the nanny still managed to get away.
Over the years, he had always felt guilty and dared not tell Jian Zhizhen about it.
He couldn't even face the fact that he liked her.
Later, Jian Zhizhen's parents reported the incident to the police.
They discovered that the nanny had fallen off a cliff and died while fleeing.
Jian Chun, however, has disappeared without a trace.
Unable to accept such grief, Jian Zhizhen's parents moved away from Beicheng with her.
Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen were also forced to separate.
However, they can still meet during winter and summer vacations every year. When they meet, they spend all day together studying, so they can be considered to have grown up together.
Until two years ago, Jian Zhizhen accidentally saw an interview with Lin Yi.
She felt that Lin Yi's features were exactly the same as her brother's, only more mature and refined.
She tried to contact Lin Yi, but received no response.
In order to get closer to Lin Yi, she had to find another way, entering the entertainment industry and appearing on the show he hosted, slowly getting closer to him.
This is her ultimate goal in entering the entertainment industry and participating in this program.
Qin Yubai came to this show simply because of Jian Zhizhen.
Since Jian Zhizhen believed that Lin Yi was Jian Chun, he also believed in Jian Zhizhen's judgment.
Although there are still many things that cannot be explained, such as how his intellectual disability was cured, and how he became Lin Zong's son...
But the show still needs to be filmed, and he will have many more opportunities to interact with Lin Yi.
The truth will always come to light.
