The butler stared at his phone for a long time, confirming that the voice was indeed the Second Young Master’s, so… was that really the Second Young Master just now?! He had been wondering how there could be a Big Young Master! The butler was momentarily confused, then hurriedly got in the car and sped towards the wedding venue.
Unable to figure things out along the way, when he arrived and saw Yue Linze, he was first stunned, then widened his eyes: “Who are you exactly!”
Yue Linze glanced at him, coldly saying: “Come with me.” He kicked away the stool and walked towards the reception room.
The butler immediately looked at Tao Yu, who helplessly shrugged: “Go, he might tell you something miraculous, but I guarantee he’s telling the truth.” She thought this matter was too fantastical, that a secondary personality would be hidden inside, but didn’t expect him to tell the butler.
But thinking about it, the butler had been with them for so many years, almost like biological parents. If this wasn’t explained, the butler would eventually discover someone was missing and suffer the pain of losing a child at his age. However, when explaining, Tao Yu looked sympathetically at the closed door, feeling the butler might not accept it so quickly.
Indeed, they locked themselves in the room for a long time, with no one coming out. Tao Yu got hungry and simply ordered some noodles, slurping while waiting. Only after finishing her meal did Yue Linze come out with the butler, who had an expression of “this world is truly fantastical”.
Tao Yu immediately went up, looking at the butler and asking seriously: “Do you believe it?”
“…Were you there too?” The butler looked at her, suddenly looking terrified.
Tao Yu sighed: “I was there, and saw them merge into one with my own eyes.”
She paused, seeing the butler still looked unaccepting, and thought for a moment: “At that time, the Second Young Master didn’t have a single uninjured spot, was shot in the leg, and the Big Young Master was barely breathing. If a miracle hadn’t occurred, we might all have died. You find it hard to accept now, feeling you’ve lost a child, but look at it from another angle – the Big Young Master’s body was already at its limit, and you would have lost one eventually. But now, they share one body, which means you still have both children, right?”
“But… it’s not the same,” the butler looked at Yue Linze, seeing an expression both like Yue Lin and Yue Ze, feeling utterly conflicted. “There’s still only one left, and two people in one body, this… this…”
Initially, he thought Yue Linze was crazy, but after hearing his coherent explanation, and seeing the person’s face was now scar-free and mysteriously healed, with so many facts before his eyes, he had to believe it.
If you dare to say you want to kiss twice, then I’ll refuse you right now, not even giving one kiss.” Tao Yu narrowed her eyes; by now, if she couldn’t see through their tricks, she would be too stupid.
Yue Linze blinked, and after staring at Tao Yu for a moment, finally said dissatisfiedly: “Just kiss once.”
Tao Yu then wrapped her arms around his neck. At the moment Yue Linze kissed her, he thought that how long the kiss would last was something he and his brother could agree on.
The butler’s old face turned red, smiling and turning away to give these young people some space. Yue Linze indeed became more unrestrained, grabbing Tao Yu and kissing her deeply until she could barely breathe before reluctantly letting her go.
“Yue Linze!” Tao Yu blushed and glared at him.
Yue Linze let out a light laugh: “Finally married you.”
Tao Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, about to say something to him, when suddenly a familiar feeling surged, and looking around, people and objects began to slowly disintegrate.
…Had their resentment completely disappeared at this moment? Tao Yu looked blankly ahead, where there was originally only one person, now stood two identical alter egos, though they looked exactly the same inside and out, Tao Yu could still distinguish their differences at a glance.
Yue Lin smiled softly, wrapped his arm around her waist, kissed her cheek, and whispered: “I love you.”
“…I love you too,” Tao Yu said in a daze, taking a while to realize that because they had completed the wedding with her, their inner obsession had been completely eliminated.
Yue Ze made a “tsk” sound, forcefully pulling Tao Yu over: “What about me?”
“…You are the same person,” Tao Yu glared at him unhappily. Through these experiences, she had discovered that each time an alter ego was about to dissipate, they would vaguely understand the truth of their world, and these two were probably the same.
Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, the two brothers looked at each other. Yue Ze sighed: “Although I know I should be the same person as him, I’m still glad I’m not.”
“Is that so?” Yue Lin glanced at him, and after a while, slowly said, “I seem to feel the same.”
Tao Yu looked at their harmonious appearance, her eyes gradually becoming moist. The two brothers looked at her simultaneously. As they were about to disappear, Yue Lin suddenly said: “Be careful in the future.”
“Yes, don’t do these foolish things anymore, he is not some…” Yue Ze’s words were cut off midway as the two completely vanished.
Tao Yu’s vision went dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back in the real world. Before she could recover, the instrument by the bed suddenly emitted a sharp siren. She was stunned for a moment before rushing over, seeing Yue Linze’s brain area continuously flashing red on the display.
She couldn’t bother to struggle out of the previous world’s afterglow and rushed outside to call for help. By the time Yue Linze was sent for specialized instrument examination, three hours had passed.
The butler hurriedly brought over the results. Tao Yu took them and immediately frowned. The butler asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Dr. Tao?”
“Mr. Yue has several alter egos that died abnormally. Now the mental worlds dominated by those personalities are collapsing, causing a not-so-good impact on Mr. Yue’s brain,” Tao Yu said with a frown.
Yue Linze’s alter egos were more powerful than the last, including characters like the Eastern Factory supervisor and the great general. How could they simultaneously die abnormally? Something must be wrong, directly causing these alter egos’ deaths.
The butler’s brow also furrowed: “What can we do? Isn’t it said that alter ego death will affect the person himself? Is there a solution?”
“This has never happened before. Now, with abnormal deaths and only the last mental world remaining, although we don’t know the reason, we must solve the issue before the alter ego in that world disappears. Otherwise, suffering another abnormal alter ego death will put Mr. Yue in complete danger,” Tao Yu pressed her lips together, her eyes showing unprecedented seriousness.
But when she saw what world was still existing, her eyes revealed surprise.
She only felt her vision go dark, then pain as if her entire spine had been torn out, and after groaning twice on the ground with her eyes closed, she suddenly felt an eerie silence around her.
She cautiously opened her eyes a crack and saw a group of people wearing clothes that seemed both ancient and not, surrounding her and staring at her like she was a rare creature. At the forefront was Yue Linze, with a face like jade, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, yet appearing gentle and harmless.
Tao Yu was stunned when she saw the well-behaved and obviously young leader, blinking and meeting his gaze. Yue Linze blinked back after seeing her blink, and after a long pause, slowly said, “So, are you the wife bestowed upon me by Buddha?”
Tao Yu: “…?” Since when did Buddha handle marriage arrangements?
