Chapter 189 Why Don’t I Have It
There is a little-known fact in psychology called belief reshaping, which refers to the fact that humans will unconsciously modify their memories to conform to existing beliefs.
For example, if you strongly believe that someone is innocent, your brain will automatically weaken or even delete the memory fragments that are unfavorable to them in order to maintain psychological consistency.
A small number of psychological masters or hypnotists will use this principle and cooperate with neurologists to provide psychological hypnosis and drug treatment to some people who have suffered a major blow and cannot get out of the haze, so as to achieve the purpose of forgetting or modifying painful memories.
This technology is still very rare, and there are few successful examples even around the world.
It can be said to be one in tens of millions.
And Yu Chengbai is one of those tens of millions.
In early June of this year, Yu Chengbai encountered Ning Yan disguised as a woman in Chris City. After seeing Ning Yan shivering with the child in his arms, he took him back to the hotel and willingly walked into the trap set by Ning Yan.
On June 14, Yu Chengbai returned from hunting in Chris City and returned to Ilok Manor with Ning Yan.
Three days later, with the help of Moros, the rumors about the two spread from Chris City all the way back to S City, and finally reached Ilok Manor.
Yu Chengbai returned home at night and saw Yiwei, also known as Ning Yan, playing games with his "daughter" in the garden.
He picked up a dry branch that he had picked up from somewhere, threw it high up, and threw it out again. He picked it up again and threw it out again. His 'daughter' ran over to pick it up again and again without getting tired of it.
It feels like training, and also like training a dog.
Despite this extremely bizarre scene, Yu Chengbai inexplicably sensed a hint of home in the little girl's laughter...
But Ning Yan's expression was very cold, he held his chin with his hand, looking bored.
Seeing him come back, she pulled the corners of her mouth hypocritically and smiled perfunctorily: "Sir, you're back? I'm playing games with Beibei. Do you want to play with us?"
Yu Chengbai walked over, bent down, picked up the dry branch that Beibei was holding in her mouth, and put it aside. He said helplessly to the 'woman' who was sitting awkwardly at the table, "Yiwei, this is not how you play games."
Ning Yan didn't think this was criticism, nor did he feel that he was teaching him how to do things. He blinked lightly and asked with a smile, "Oh? Really? I played like this when I was a kid. If it's not played like this, then how do you play it? Can you teach me, sir?"
Yu Chengbai asked the servant for a pair of scissors and a knife for pruning branches. He sat on the chair next to him, picked up the dead branch, and cut it bit by bit with the knife.
Ning Yan sat cross-legged on the table, like Guanyin sitting on a lotus, except that he did not have the compassionate look of Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved all sentient beings.
With one hand supporting his cheek and the other on his knee, he stared curiously at the movements of Yu Chengbai's hands, like a wild animal that had just awakened.
Beibei lay beside it, staring curiously at the dead tree branch as it was whittled down into a slender and smooth shape bit by bit.
At the end, he skillfully carved out the shape of a little fox.
"Do you like it?"
The little fox was given to the big fox.
Ning Yan blinked, said nothing, and looked up at him.
Yu Chengbai didn't wait for his answer. He stood up, walked around behind him, and tied up his long hair like a waterfall with a hairpin. Then he picked up a fresh fallen flower and pinned it in his hair.
Ning Yan reached out and touched the soft petals. She turned her head to look at the man and said with a smile, "Sir, do you like giving hairpins to people?"
“Only one or two.”
"Is it one or two?"
"One, perhaps."
"I've read many of the books in your study. They say hairpins are tokens of love." Ning Yan tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a smile. "Sir, you wouldn't know that, would you?"
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything, as if he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Just as he was about to bend down to clean up the sawdust on the ground, someone grabbed his collar.
He raised his eyes and saw Ning Yan looking at him with a smile on his lips.
Then he raised his other hand, covered Beibei's eyes as she looked at them curiously, leaned forward, and kissed her soft, trembling lips like rose petals.
The more the other person tried to retreat, the tighter he pulled her, the deeper the kiss, and the harder he bit her...
After seeing the other party flee as if he had seen a ghost, Ning Yan finally took away his hand that was covering Beibei's eyes, and his fingertips brushed across her lips, leaving a bright red.
Ning Yan licked his mouth and lips again and again with his tongue. Apart from a faint fishy sweetness, he didn't feel any pain.
He couldn't help laughing.
Interestingly, Yu Chengbai’s way of rejection was to bite himself.
Several days passed and Yu Chengbai did not return home. The servants were all curious about this extra woman with no name or status and this extra child.
Some people said that he must be just like them, a poor man whose parents had both died, and that was why Yu Chengbai brought him back to the manor;
Some people also said that she saw Mr. Yu kissing him in the rose garden at night, and the kiss made her face blush;
Some people also said that there were rumors going around that Mr. Yu had sex with a woman named Yiwei when he was in Chris City. It seemed that because the woman was almost freezing to death, Mr. Yu had no choice but to stuff her into his bed...
In short, rumors are spreading and there are different versions of the story.
But no matter how bad the rumors outside were, Ning Yan was never affected and just did what he had to do.
On the contrary, Yu Chengbai was hiding from him like a mouse hiding from a cat.
Finally, one night, Yu Chengbai sneaked back to the manor to get an important document, but Ning Yan, who had been waiting for him for a long time, blocked him in the bedroom with a smile.
He was clearly not as tall as Yu Chengbai, but he possessed an immense aura. He used his arms to trap the man between the walls, and chuckled softly, "Sir, why haven't you been home lately? Has some vixen out there stolen your heart?"
Yu Chengbai: "..."
It’s not that my heart was stolen by the vixen outside, but that I was forced into a dead end by the vixen at home.
I would rather sleep in the company or in a hotel when on business trips than come back and gamble on my almost shaky self-control.
Ning Yan tilted her head, moved closer, stared into his eyes, and asked him coquettishly, "Sir, why don't you even look at me? You haven't been back for so long, what if your servants bully me?"
Yu Chengbai hurriedly turned his face away. In the dark night, his face was so red that blood could drip out.
He clenched his fists and pressed his back against the wall, not daring to get close to the person in front of him.
Ning Yan continued to play dumb, reaching out to touch his face, and said distressedly: "Sir, why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?"
"...I'm fine." Even at this time, Yu Chengbai could still force a decent smile at him.
Then he reached out and frantically grabbed Ning Yan's hand, touching it from his face all the way to his chest, and then began to act wildly.
I held it tightly in my hand, afraid that he would do something wrong again.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the evilness of the person in front of him. After a few seconds, he froze.
The decent people finally stopped being decent.
The instigator raised his head with an innocent look, rubbed his knees upwards, and asked curiously, "Sir, what is this? It's so strange, why don't I have it?"
This was the first time in Yu Chengbai's life that he was shaking like a sieve.
The hand that was gripping Ning Yan was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to crush his bones...
More than ten minutes later, Ning Yan turned on the light, whistled as he walked into the bathroom, then turned on the shower and put his hands under it to rinse.
Outside, Yu Chengbai sat on the bed, frowning hard, in an unprecedented silence.
