Jian Ning glanced at the dish in front of her. The previous bite was almost fatally salty. Eating all these dishes would probably kill her.
“Well……” Jian Ning looked at Qiao Yu, tentatively asking: “Since you’re not the alternate personality, I don’t have to eat this dish, right?”
“Why not?” Qiao Yu gave her a cold look. “There’s something I forgot to tell you. The alternate personality now has my memories.”
Jian Ning: “……So?”
Qiao Yu continued coldly: “So, to prevent the alternate personality from waking up and attempting suicide, you must eat this.”
“……”
Jian Ning couldn’t understand: “What does my eating this dish have to do with the alternate personality’s suicide attempt? And,” her expression became strange for a moment: “If the alternate personality now has your memories, doesn’t that mean he knows everything we say?”
Qiao Yu nodded, that was correct.
Jian Ning cleared her throat, trying to negotiate: “I think the alternate personality wouldn’t bear to treat me this way.”
Now it was Qiao Yu’s turn to fall silent.
Rationally, Qiao Yu felt he should coldly refute Jian Ning and ensure she was punished. The more profound the lesson, the further she would stay away from such “drunk phone-grabbing” men in the future.
But recently influenced by the alternate personality, Qiao Yu’s mouth often acted before his brain. His mind would refuse, but his mouth would speak first, and as if to ensure sincerity, he would nod in agreement while speaking: “He wouldn’t bear to.”
The next second, he realized what he’d said: “……”
He wanted a needle to sew his mouth shut.
Jian Ning’s eyes lit up: “So……”
“But I would.” Qiao Yu forced himself to say this. Although it was just a minor punishment, and it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t carried out, he didn’t necessarily want Jian Ning to suffer.
But!
He hadn’t felt it before, but now Qiao Yu felt that if he compromised in this matter, both he and the alternate personality would likely be at Jian Ning’s mercy in the future, able to do whatever she wanted.
This consequence made him shudder, sending chills down his spine. He was not okay with this.
