Shen Xianxian stared at the piece of dark fabric, lost in thought for a while.
Wen Ran folded her arms, observing.
For so reason, this Shen Xianxian gave her a sense of incongruity.
Not quite the sa as the wooden Shen Xianxian from before.
"Did you notice anything?"
"No," Shen Xianxian replied hoarsely, looked up, and returned the fabric to Wen Ran, "Thank you for saving ."
"You’re welco."
The team leader ca in with dicine, and upon seeing Shen Xianxian awake, was startled.
"Little rascal, why didn’t you say sothing when she woke up?"
Handing the dicine bowl to Shen Xianxian, the team leader rambled, "Drink slowly, it’s a bit hot."
Shen Xianxian tried it; it was indeed too hot.
Unable to drink it, she propped herself up, struggled to sit up, and placed the dicine bowl aside, "Thank you."
"No need to thank ," the team leader waved, indicating Shen Xianxian should thank Wen Ran, "She’s the one who carried you down from the mountain."
"Thank you, miss."
Shen Xianxian panted a little, acting all frail and defenseless, "It’s just, I still don’t know the young lady’s na."
Don’t know her na?
Wen Ran chuckled; they had exchanged nas while on the mountain.
"Still pretending?"
Wen Ran folded her arms, smiling, "Your acting is a bit clumsy."
That one sentence made not only Shen Xianxian freeze but even left the team leader baffled.
"What? What acting?"
The team leader noticed sothing was off, abruptly stood up, and shouted, "Little rascal, what riddles are you speaking now, don’t spook ."
"Why would I scare you?" Wen Ran folded her arms, "Don’t speak, just stand aside."
The team leader glanced at Shen Xianxian, then at Wen Ran.
For so reason, he felt a chill down his spine.
He swallowed and silently stood behind Wen Ran.
"Still not speaking?"
Wen Ran tilted her head, scrutinizing Shen Xianxian.
She hadn’t expected to encounter soone like Shen Xianxian here.
Shen Xianxian looked up, revealing a malicious smile, "You’re smart~ How did you realize I’m not her?"
"Instincts."
The Shen Xianxian in front of her, was different from the person she had fished out of the river earlier.
"I don’t believe it," Shen Xianxian scoffed, "Previously, it would take at least a month to see through ."
"... Actually, when on the mountain, you asked my na."
Shen Xianxian: "...?"
She was bewildered, incredulous, "Just that?"
Wen Ran retorted, "Isn’t that enough?"
Shen Xianxian was silent for a while, "Then what do you plan to do with ?"
Do with her?!
The choice of words was odd.
Wen Ran pressed her lips, "Why would I do anything to you? Get better, catch the culprit, and tell the police that I saved you."
"And then?"
"Then, our team gains another rit!"
Co the end of the year, that advanced team title would fall upon the Silly Deer Team again!
Shen Xianxian was puzzled by Wen Ran’s logic, awkwardly, "I don’t understand what you an."
"If you don’t understand, forget it," Wen Ran waved, "Can you let that one out?"
Shen Xianxian hesitated, nodded, "I can."
"Alright."
Being able to switch personalities freely ant it wouldn’t affect identifying the murderer.
The team leader was confused, scratching his head, "But, what are you two talking about?"
Shen Xianxian touched the dicine bowl beside her, it had ward up enough to drink.
She picked up the bowl, "You can call Shen Yueyue."
Team leader: "???"
This "Shen Yueyue" left him even more baffled.
Just now it was Shen Xianxian, right?
How did it beco Shen Yueyue?
This girl’s brain...
No problems?
ntal illness?
If Wen Ran knew what the team leader was thinking, she would have definitely applauded him.
Geez, got it spot on.
Shen Xianxian indeed had ntal health issues.
Yes.
Shen Xianxian had a dual personality.
"Actually, I’m quite curious," Wen Ran rubbed her chin, "There must be so reason for your personality to form.
Can’t be, dozed off at midnight with nothing to do, split one out to chat?"
Shen Yueyue finished the dicine, scoffed, "I don’t feel well now, I don’t want to talk."
Wen Ran clicked her tongue, "Don’t be arrogant, be honest."
Shen Yueyue: "..."
For so reason, despite Wen Ran looking petite and charming, she was making her feel uneasy, scared.
Her bravado only lasted a little while.
After drinking the dicine, her head wasn’t as dizzy anymore, she frankly told the story.
Wen Ran felt indifferent, mainly because in the future, she had seen too many ntal illnesses.
This schizophrenia was rely trivial, not worth ntioning.
Manic, bipolar, depression...
Truly innurable.
But to the team leader, he felt like he had opened a new world’s door.
My goodness, there were people like this in the world?
The story was complex, clichéd, and it was only then that Wen Ran beca vaguely aware that the world she lived in wasn’t real.
Rather, it was the world in a book.
Even a world drenched in lodrama.
Shen Yueyue, oh no, it should be the main personality, Shen Xianxian.
She was a typical farm girl, with three elder brothers and two elder sisters above her, she was the youngest.
By right, one should dotingly love the youngest, yet oddly, God knows what dicine the Shen Family took, they adored the first five children dearly.
Except towards Shen Xianxian, constantly beating her, verbally abusing her.
Shen Xianxian just thought she wasn’t doing good enough, and desperately wanted her parents’ approval.
Unfortunately, her imagination was rich, reality was stark.
The huge disparity made Shen Xianxian terrified, despairing, and depressed.
As the saying goes.
If not dying in silence, one will erupt in silence.
The Shen Family cut a pound of at, the whole family by the table ate with greasy smiles, Shen Xianxian only looked for a mont and was scolded and cursed by Mrs. Shen.
That contemptuous gaze as if looking at garbage, deeply triggered Shen Xianxian’s sensitive nerves.
She suddenly erupted.
Rushed over, flipped the table, basins and jars shattered everywhere.
Amidst the shocked, dumbfounded eyes of the Shen Family, Shen Xianxian ran out with hatred all over her face, then jumped into the river.
It was then that Shen Yueyue was born.
Wen Ran fondled her chin, sighed a bit, "And then? What did you do?"
Shen Yueyue: "..."
She gritted her teeth, "What could I do? That idiot, bullied almost to death, once again jumped into the river and almost drowned herself.
I struggled onto the shore, almost losing half my life."
Wen Ran: "..."
Eh, what use is there in saying this?
To put it bluntly, wasn’t it just being caught by the Shen Family and beaten harshly?
The facts were much like Wen Ran’s guess.
The Shen Family, after recovering, angrily dragged Shen Yueyue, who had just crawled upon the shore, back ho, and then hung her on the beam, whipped for a full three hours.
