Chapter 111 The Senior with a Dual Personality 16 (1/2)

At 10 a.m., the hospital corridor was so quiet that only the electronic clock at the nurses' station ticked.

Zi Xi sat on a bench outside the ward, her fingertips unconsciously stroking Xue Xunzhi's cracked phone screen, her eyes slightly sore.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated, and the words "Professor Lin" appeared on the screen.

Zi Xi paused for a moment, then quickly got up and walked to the corner of the corridor, lowering her voice to answer the phone: "Hello, Professor Lin?"

"...Who are you? I have an appointment with Mr. Xue to meet at nine o'clock this morning..."

On the other end of the phone, Professor Lin's voice was calm and gentle.

After Zi Xi explained the situation, Professor Lin sighed.

"The doctor said he was fine, just had a high fever and was tired, so he needed to rest for a while... But he couldn't sleep well, as if he was fighting with his second personality in his dreams."

Zi Xi bit her lower lip, glanced back at the closed ward door, and whispered.

"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore. He contacted me last night."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Professor Lin sighed again.

"...What happened last night?"

Zi Xi's heart skipped a beat, eager to know what had happened last night.

“He was very emotionally unstable at the time and mentioned that another personality was trying to control his body.”

"He repeatedly mentioned that another personality was encroaching on his control of his body."

Professor Lin pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

Zi Xi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her fingernails involuntarily dug into her palms.

"Most notably, he exhibits a strong possessiveness toward you; he is very worried that... that other personality will take you away."

"He even asked me if I had a way to kill the other personality."

Professor Lin paused for a moment.

Jealous of yourself?

Will she ever see him fighting with himself again in the future?

The moment this absurd thought popped into Zi Xi's head, she felt her heart being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"Miss Zhou, does he know that you already know about his split personality?"

Professor Lin continued on the other end of the phone.

“I… am waiting for him to tell me himself.”

Her voice was as soft as a feather falling to the ground.

“Ms. Zhou, Mr. Xue’s condition is more complicated than we expected. This is not an ordinary psychological problem, but a real struggle for his personality. If you are willing, I would like you to come to my office with him after he wakes up.”

Professor Lin's voice softened.

"...Okay, I will."

Zi Xi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, even though the other person couldn't see her.

After hanging up the phone, she leaned against the window in the corridor, looked at the glaring sunlight outside, and sighed helplessly.

What kind of situation is this? A jealous eldest brother meets an even more jealous second brother?

A gentle breeze lifted a corner of the curtains in the ward, and sunlight slanted across Xue Xunzhi's pale face.

His eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, his pupils slightly contracting in the light.

"You're finally awake!"

"How are you feeling now? Are you still in pain?"

Chen Mo jumped up from his chair with a start, his phone almost falling to the ground with a thud.

Xue Xunzhi blinked, adjusting to the glaring light.

"……fine."

"I'm just a little dizzy."

His Adam's apple bobbed a few times before he managed to utter a hoarse sound. He tried to sit up, but hissed softly when he touched the IV line.

So noisy... This body is too fragile...

Chen Mo didn't notice that his friend's eyes were sharper than a scalpel at that moment, and that a sharp glint was hidden beneath the gentle smile on his lips.

"Come on, don't try to force yourself with that lousy voice."

"The doctor said you need to be observed for a few more days, and I've already arranged for you to take leave."

Chen Mo blew on the phone that almost fell to the ground and pressed Xue Xunzhi back down.

"Thank you, I'm fine now, you can go to class."
