“I find it hard to imagine falling for someone. Do I have to live with my wife when I get married?”
“How would it be otherwise?”
Gong Jie countered, “Do you want to stick to your mommy forever?”
The boy hesitated. “If Daddy doesn’t mind!”
“I’m sure he minds.”
!!
“…”
“Who doesn’t want some time alone with the woman he loves!” For once, Gong Jie was making a stand for Mu Yazhe. “Don’t tell me you’ll grow up to be a mommy’s boy!”
“I don’t know. Isn’t it a good thing, being a mommy’s boy?”
“Mommy’s boys are much despised people. If you do that, it will inevitably cause a war between mother and daughter-in-law!”
The boy’s lips twitched. “Uncle, you’re not even married. Why are you thinking about what happens after I’m married?”
His brother snorted in disapproval. “I’m just worried about you!”
“Uncle, don’t worry about me. It’s better to mind your own lifelong affairs.”
The man smiled faintly at that. “I think it is better to be alone and at ease. I have no interest in women.”
“Oh?” The boy’s interest was piqued and he felt rather nosy. “You actually do like men, don’t you?”
Gong Jie frowned and glanced at him. “You seem very nosy about my love life.”
“Get over it! Stop worrying about other people’s judgment,” the boy assured him with an old pat on the shoulder. “Our society’s very open these days, and it’s not unmon for men to like men. There’s freedom to love, and people of the same gender can fall in love.”
Gong Jie’s eyelids twitched violently again. It was hard to imagine that such words would e from a ten-year-old child!
It was extremely out of place.
The man suddenly changed the topic. “Alice recently took in a girl who, like you, has multiple personalities. She’s eighteen. Apparently, she plans to start with this girl’s condition and take a deeper dive into this area of work.”
The boy was surprised to hear this. “Multiple personalities?”
“Uh huh.”
“Can I … see her?”
Gong Jie raised an eyebrow. “Why do you want to see her?”
“Can’t I see her?” The boy pouted indignantly.
The man couldn’t dissuade him. “Okay. I’ll take you there when you’re on vacation.”
“Uh huh.” The boy paused, then mysteriously made a gesture to shush the man. “Don’t tell Gong Fan about this, in case he gets sensitive.”
“Got it.”
…
Lucy, the girl Alice had mentioned, was being held at Michel Hospital in Miami.
The reason she was in custody was that there was a berserker among Lucy’s personalities. As a result, Lucy had at one time been viewed as dangerous, and thus was heavily monitored and pletely deprived of her personal freedom.
Before Alice took over, Lucy had been Professor Romanka’s patient. Professor Romanka was a living textbook in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. More than that, he was an honorary professor at Michel Hospital. His work in the fields of psychology and psychiatry were regarded as authoritative.
Lucy had been locked up in Michel and was not allowed any visitors. If it hadn’t been for Alice’s connection, it would have been impossible to meet her. Before flying to Miami, Alice had repeatedly warned Gong Jie not to reveal that Youyou had a split personality disorder when he saw Professor Romanka.
“This guy is crazy. You have to be careful.”
Even though he didn’t know why Alice had warned him about this, he agreed unconditionally.
Alice had always been in possession of the boy’s medical report.
