Chapter 4039: The Other Side 8
Yun Shishi recalled the analysis made by a professor that it could be because the boy’s sixth sense was particularly acute.
Before this, the boy’s primary personality had been vaguely aware of the presence of another self. The second personality, on the other hand, had never known the existence of the first. However, after Alice’s hypnosis, she had created a fantasy world. In this illusory space, the two personalities finally met.
At that moment, the second personality finally discovered the existence of the first personality.
At that time, Gong Fan’s personality also understood that if he wanted to outlaw Youyou, he had to become the primary personality. But he did not know that the first personality could not be destroyed.
After Youyou had fallen asleep, he took over and outlawed the primary personality. As a result, when he was around Yun Shishi, especially when he accidentally found her staring into space while holding Youyou’s old photos, he felt his heart ache. It seemed he had done something unforgivable. It was as if something beautiful and pure had been destroyed.
For a long time, he’d harbored an indelible guilt. When he grew closer to Yun Shishi, that guilt tormented him all the time. However, Yun Shishi did not resent Gong Fan at all. She understood deeply that both Youyou and Gong Fan were part of this life. Gong Fan wasn’t unforgivable. In the past, even when he was not the primary personality, he had silently protected her.
After Alice’s hypnosis, despite the loss of all his previous memories, the feelings he had for Yun Shishi gave rise to a bond, throughout the time they spent together, that was difficult to sever.
Yun Shishi did not show favoritism. It was just that at the time, she had thought that the boy who had once been as beautiful as a crystal would probably never return to her. That was why she felt so unbearably sad. Now that he had come back to her, how could she not be excited?
In her excitement, she could only cry. The boy felt another pang of sadness as she continued to cry.
“Mommy, I’m back now, am I not? Don’t cry, okay?”
Yun Shishi nodded, but the tears continued to fall.
The more she cried, the more heartbroken he became. He took a deep, shuddering breath. “It’s all right then. Just cry…”
It wasn’t a crime to cry. Gently wiping away her tears, the boy sighed again. “It’s just that if you cry too much, you’re bound to get swollen eyes. It wouldn’t look pretty.”
Yun Shishi laughed through her tears when she heard this. “Who cares about looking pretty?” Choking on her tears, she threw her arms around the boy’s neck. “My Youyou’s back. Who cares about my eyes being swollen?” She asked again, “Will you suddenly disappear again one of these days?”
The boy laughed at that. “No. I’ll never disappear…”
“Really?!” Yun Shishi was skeptical, though.
Of course, she had also heard Gong Shaoying mention that the main personality of a split personality would never disappear. But that didn’t stop her from worrying. She was always worried that tomorrow, or the day after, or maybe the day after, the boy would suddenly disappear again and be replaced by Gong Fan…
Highly amused, Youyou said, “Don’t worry, Mommy. I won’t leave you again. Never. Don’t worry about it, okay?”
Yun Shishi nodded, and was suddenly struck by another thought.
