Chapter 118 The Dual-Personality Senior (Part 1/2)

The meeting with the parents was arranged at a villa, and Xue Xunzhi prepared a large table of dishes.

At the dining table, Zi Xi's knees trembled under the tablecloth.

Her parents' legendary journey from street vendors to establishing a chain of supermarkets has honed their keen eyes. If they discover that Xue Xunzhi occasionally transforms into another personality, would the elderly couple be bothered by this?

"How's the patent for your nanny robot coming along?"

Mr. Zhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze behind the lenses as sharp as an X-ray.

Xue Xunzhi answered calmly, from technical barriers to market prospects, with an answer that would satisfy even the most demanding investors.

What are your hobbies?

Zhou's mother handed over the fruit plate, her smile gentle yet carrying the investigative air typical of a mother-in-law.

Zi Xi's fork suddenly missed, making a screeching sound as it scraped across the plate.

"Of course, I like your daughter the most."

Xun Ge seemed to have taken over the body at some point, and his straightforward answer instantly silenced the dining table.

Zi Xi's back was soaked with cold sweat, and she only dared to breathe again when she saw her parents' tolerant smiles that said, "Young people are so enthusiastic."

That was close! I almost had to explain what dual personality disorder is.

On a morning after the wedding, sunlight streamed into the kitchen through the sheer curtains.

Wearing the cat apron given to him by Zi Xi, Xue Xunzhi was carefully pressing a fried egg into a heart shape using a mold.

The oven dinged, and the sweet aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins filled the air.

"good morning."

"I have a meeting today, so I made a bento box..."

He leaned down and gently kissed the sleepy-eyed Zi Xi, then placed the breakfast tray on the bedside table.

Before he could finish speaking, the hand holding the coffee suddenly froze.

When she looked up again, those gentle eyes had been tinged with wildness.

"Tsk, so this is all the bookworm you're fed?"

"I clearly said that last night..."

Xun Ge loosened his tie and pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms. His fingertips brushed against the red marks on her collarbone, silencing Zi Xi's protests.

The muffins were spilled on the sheets, and the blueberry jam spread out in a vibrant color.

These days... are such a sweet burden.

After a blissful moment, Zi Xi, feeling weak all over, sighed as she looked at the ceiling.

The wardrobe mirror reflected an absurd yet sweet scene: amidst the messy bed, she was still clutching the bento menu written by the primary personality in her left hand, while her right ankle was held in the palm of the secondary personality.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, Big Orange and its little brothers and sisters lazily basked in the sun, their tails swaying gently, looking quite content.

They chose the Maldives for their honeymoon.

As a result, on the very first night, Zi Xi deeply experienced what restraint meant, witnessing the terror of their frequent personality switching at night.

One moment Xue Xunzhi was kissing her gently, his movements slow and careful, as if afraid of hurting her. Then, halfway through, his alternate personality suddenly came online, flipping her over and biting her ear with a mischievous grin: "Isn't he being too slow? Let me do it."

Zi Xi was filled with questions.

In just one night, she seemed to experience what it meant to be in both ice and fire, and what it meant to be served with nine shallow and one deep touches.

The next day, she lay paralyzed in bed, not even wanting to move a finger.

"How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

"...Shut up."

While Xue Xunzhi rubbed her waist with a guilty expression, he was secretly pleased with himself.

Daily life isn't always smooth sailing; occasionally, the two personalities will compete for attention.

The primary personality, Xue Xunzhi, would remember her menstrual cycle and prepare brown sugar water in advance, while the secondary personality, Xun Ge, would simply lift her onto his lap and say fiercely, "If it hurts, don't move around. I'll rub it for you."

Xue Xunzhi accompanied her to watch art films, and when she saw touching parts, he would secretly wipe away tears.
