Not only himself, but even his friends and neighbors testified that William’s body is very robust, and his physical strength is better than theirs!
And the other person, who looked sickly, claid his na was Tom, living in Rothess. Over the years, he felt his physical condition worsening and even eating required great effort. However, each ti he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctors said he was not ill. This troubled Tom and his family greatly.
If basing diagnosis solely on the data provided by these two patients, then An Yiqing might never find out what kind of illness they actually have.
Fortunately, An Yiqing is adept at observing micro-expressions. When these two patients were first brought in, she didn’t notice anything unusual. But after chatting for a bit, she felt sothing was amiss.
The patient who appeared healthy said he lived in a small village in Country Jin. However, his accent was authentically Rothess. And the sickly patient always mixed in so slang when speaking.
Furthermore, William said his grandmother was a singer and that the family inherited her excellent genes. However, William’s singing was terribly off-tune, almost every word was out of pitch. Yet, Tom, who claid he couldn’t sing, had a great voice, evidenced by the audience’s applause showing how beautifully he sang.
An Yiqing asked many questions about their growth environnt, where they had been since childhood, what they liked doing, and where they went to school. The results showed that these two completely unrelated individuals had appeared in the sa place during childhood.
In the village where William grew up.
Tom said that years ago, his parents brought him, then just six, to live in that village for two years, aiming to give the frail Tom a change to a fresher air environnt.
However, William said he never saw Tom in that village.
One mont it was Tom, the next it was William; everyone was bewildered by these two patients.
"Actually, neither of them is lying; it’s as if there was a soul exchange — Tom and William’s ntal worlds are misaligned."
An Yiqing spoke while taking the two patients back to their beds. Then, she extracted dozens of Silver Needles and quickly inserted them into the two individuals.
Soon, both William and Tom fell into a deep sleep.
"Esteed judges, I think I have found the cause of the illness." An Yiqing turned and faced the judges’ panel.
"Please, tell us." The representative judge smiled at An Yiqing, clearly showing no concern over her previous diagnostic findings.
"William and Tom are people from two different worlds. One is from the countryside, the other from the city. They appear to have no intersection; however, at age six, both appeared at the sa place, the small village where William was born."
"Indeed, William’s grandmother was a very famous local singer, and his family did inherit her outstanding singing genes. However, not everyone appreciates this advantage; at least, William extrely disliked singing and even feigned illness and drama to escape from music, running away from ho."
"Tom, from Rothess, was not in good health, and his parents were very caring toward him. Yet, the weak-bodied Tom yearned for a free childhood; he felt being confined at ho each day was pure tornt. Until at age six, his parents took him to the countryside to recuperate, and William and Tom t."
Everyone was captivated by An Yiqing’s story, falling silent to listen attentively.
"After becoming familiar, William and Tom talked about their troubles. William expressed his dislike for music and the constant vocal practice at ho. Tom said he hated his parents’ control and the life of being hand-fed and waited upon. However, neither realized that everything they hated was precisely what the other yearned for. William despised music and farming; he longed for Tom’s luxurious lifestyle and his parents’ indulgence. Yet Tom, weary of being coddled due to physical frailty, loved music and the freedom of running unrestrained in the mountains and fields. Everyone might have experienced this — when you admire soone excellent, you desire to mimic their every move, even wanting to beco them. This ntality led Tom and William to the misalignnt in their ntal worlds."
