Qiao Yu suddenly sat up straight, raised his head, and looked at her irritably: “I’m not the alternate personality.”
“………”
Jian Ning was speechless.
If he’s not the alternate personality, why ask such a boring question? Where I go has nothing to do with him.
Qiao Yu was holding back his anger: “Jian Ning, I let you go shoot, but what gives you the right to come back so late?!”
“……..No. What do you mean by that? I didn’t run away, I just stayed out a bit late. The film set only wrapped up now, what could I do? Besides, even if I really went out to mess around, you’re not the alternate personality, so what right do you have to question me? Is it written in the contract that I can’t go out?”
Qiao Yu looked away, speaking coldly: “I don’t want to argue. Starting tomorrow, no matter how late the film set wraps up, you, Jian Ning, must return home before 7 PM! Otherwise, just wait and see.”
After saying this, Qiao Yu angrily went to the master bedroom, looking like he didn’t want to waste any more words with her.
Jian Ning was almost driven mad with anger.
She followed Qiao Yu into the master bedroom, and in just a short while, Qiao Yu had already crawled under the blanket and covered his head!
Jian Ning was even more furious, suddenly lifting his blanket: “Qiao Yu, get up, let’s clear this out.”
Qiao Yu lay motionless like a corpse.
Jian Ning, hands on her hips, said: “I signed a contract and agreed to help you eliminate the alternate personality, but Qiao Yu, apart from that contract, what are you to me? What gives you the right to righteously demand I do this or that?”
Qiao Yu didn’t respond.
Jian Ning looked down at him unhappily, and was stunned by what she saw.
Qiao Yu was tightly closing his eyes, biting his lower lip, his shoulders trembling, actually crying!
Fuck!
What did she see?
Qiao Yu, who seemed as aloof as an untouchable flower, the main personality, was actually crying!
She must be seeing wrong, right?
This pitiful appearance must be the alternate personality, how could it be the main personality?
Jian Ning swallowed, forgetting to be angry, and sat on the bed, poking Qiao Yu’s face with her fingertip: “Hey… why are you so sad?”
Qiao Yu suddenly reached out, slapping her hand away and grabbing the blanket to cover his head completely.
Jian Ning: “………”
“No! I didn’t say anything to you, why are you crying?”
Jian Ning tried to pull away the blanket: “Qiao Yu, be good, don’t cry. If Brother Hao did something wrong, just tell me, I promise I’ll pay attention next time.”
Qiao Yu gripped the blanket tightly, ignoring her.
Jian Ning anxiously continued: “A real man shouldn’t cry at the slightest thing! You’re even more fragile than me! Qiao Yu, didn’t you say you wanted to protect Brother Hao? How can you protect me when you’re crying like this?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiao Yu’s blanket was forcefully thrown off.
He suddenly sat up straight, his tear-filled eyes glaring at Jian Ning, gritting his teeth: “I am the main personality!”
“And who wants to protect you? Don’t flatter yourself!”
Jian Ning: “………”
Chapter 26: Kiss Me and I’ll Let You Go
Jian Ning, expressionless: “If you don’t want to protect me, fine. I’m going to take a shower, bye.”
As Jian Ning was about to leave, Qiao Yu quickly grabbed her wrist: “Bye? Who said you could go?”
Qiao Yu wiped the tears from his face, taking a deep breath: “I’ll say this one last time, Jian Ning. Whether you’re shooting or playing, once you’re out, you must be home by 8 PM, otherwise, just wait and see.”
Jian Ning refused to agree to the previous request, so Qiao Yu reluctantly pushed the time back by an hour, his face dark: “I mean what I say.”
“………”
Mean what she says? Send her to a level SSSSS psychiatric hospital and let her go crazy for life?
Qiao Yu is definitely crazy!
Jian Ning didn’t want to say another word to him, forcefully shaking off his hand and walking away without looking back.
Qiao Yu, furious, shouted behind her: “Did you hear me!”
Jian Ning ignored him, quickly went to the guest bedroom to grab clothes, entered the bathroom, locked the door, and started showering.
Throughout the entire process, she didn’t say a word, not even sparing a glance for Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu sat on the bed, catching his breath, not knowing why. Jian Ning’s attitude towards him was even more unbearable than having an argument with him. Something was wrong; he was sure the alternate personality had secretly merged with him a bit. Qiao Yu turned pale and immediately took out his phone to call Chi Mu.
“Dr. Chi, can the alternate personality automatically merge without my knowledge?”
Chi Mu was slightly stunned: “Why are you suddenly asking this? Is there something wrong with your emotions?”
Qiao Yu irritably pressed his brow: “Ever since you mentioned that the alternate personality would merge with me that day, my emotions have been out of control.”
Chi Mu said worriedly: “In what specific ways? Do you get angry for no reason?”
“A bit,” Qiao Yu recalled his recent abnormal behavior and his uncontrollable feelings towards Jian Ning, his face involuntarily turning embarrassed. He really didn’t want to tell anyone about such an embarrassing matter.
But Chi Mu was different. He had been familiar with his condition since before the alternate personality split off. Besides himself, only Chi Mu understood the specific situation and could provide an effective treatment plan. He must tell him about all the abnormalities and daily changes; constantly hiding would only make things worse.
Qiao Yu closed his eyes, enduring his inner shame, and gritted his teeth: “Also, even when the alternate personality isn’t present, as long as it involves Jian Ning, I have many inappropriate emotions.”
“Jian Ning?” Chi Mu was surprised, then laughed: “Mr. Qiao, I reminded you last time that this is because you have feelings for Miss Jian, and it has nothing to do with whether the alternate personality will merge with you.”
Qiao Yu immediately became embarrassed and angry: “Dr. Chi, please don’t use your experience to speculate about my love life. After you said that, I carefully reflected on it, and after much thought, I concluded that I absolutely do not like Jian Ning. Everything is because I have the alternate personality’s memories, and he is deliberately causing trouble, creating this illusion.”
Chi Mu: “………Are you sure?”
“I’m very sure,” Qiao Yu said confidently: “I’m just being influenced by the alternate personality. As long as I eliminate him, I will definitely return to normal!”
Chi Mu: “…………”
Qiao Yu frowned: “Dr. Chi?”
Chi Mu responded: “I’m here, sorry. A patient just asked me for directions.”

Where Qiao Yu couldn’t see, Chi Mu smiled helplessly. He thought Qiao Yu was truly exceptional in every way.
Able to courageously escape from such a terrible psychological shadow, not only identifying all his own weaknesses clearly and systematically, splitting them into an alternate personality, and then trying to eliminate them through external conditions.
He even created a business empire from scratch while suffering from a psychological illness and having no background or help. Just looking at these achievements showed how excellent he was.
But in terms of emotions…
Chi Mu thought Qiao Yu was as slow as a fool.
Or rather, not slow – through psychological analysis of Qiao Yu’s past experiences, Chi Mu believed that when Qiao Yu first developed feelings for Jian Ning, he was very clear in his heart that he had fallen, but due to a lack of security, he had been deceiving himself.
Chi Mu was just a psychologist; he couldn’t wake up someone who was deliberately pretending to sleep.
