Chapter 104: Sisters temporarily become one, -year-old boy is deceived
In the middle of the two rooms, there is the elevator on the left and a spacious terrace on the right.

If the balcony at home is not wide enough, you can actually place a lot of flowers, plants and other things here.

It’s just the terrace on the 13th floor. There’s nothing on it and it’s very clean.

A breeze blew over, and it was a little cold, but it didn't matter to Jiang Yao who was wearing furry pajamas. She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Yuan seriously, slightly parting her lips.

"We've been dating for a while, and I'm more and more convinced that you're the one I like, Chen Yuan..." Her voice was soft and tender, and it sounded like an ear massage. "I don't want to keep it a secret from you anymore... Actually, I... live across the street from you."

As she spoke, she turned around and pointed behind her.

"Clam!?"

Chen Yuan was stunned. He looked away from Jiang Yao's cheek in confusion and looked at Room 1301 with the door open at the back.

"Is this true?" he was shocked.

"Really? I never thought you would live across from my house. When you said that, I started to doubt my life. This is such a coincidence!"

"Can it be so clever?"

Chen Yuan had never experienced such an incredible thing. His pupils shrank suddenly and his brain was unable to react for a while.

"So I went to see you off before... and you came to see me? You actually live across the street from me? That... that's impossible."

"I'm sorry, I lied and kept this a secret... I'm sorry," Jiang Yao pouted slightly, lowered her brows, and looked extremely guilty. "You've never sent it to my house, right? You were always delayed by various things, just because we live in the same building."

"No wonder you always say you want to leave by yourself," Chen Yuan's young face showed even more confusion, "Then why did you hide it from me? Wouldn't it be more convenient to live next door to each other? I wouldn't do something like forcefully going to your house. Could it be that you are worried about this..."

"No, that's not the case. Come with me. You'll understand everything when you get to my house."

Jiang Yao plucked up her courage and took Chen Yuan's hand. She was usually lively and cheerful, but now she was silent and her tone was very low.

Chen Yuan realized something was wrong, so he followed her footsteps silently.

We walked into 1301 together.

……

As soon as I entered the door, two pairs of slippers that had not been sorted out caught my eye under the shoe cabinet at the entrance.

A pair of solid black flip-flops.

A pair of white slippers with bunny ears.

They all look like women's, but of different styles. They don't look like they belong to the same owner at all, but they are of similar size.

Chen Yuan keenly noticed this clue, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at the house opposite carefully.

Compared to where he lived, Jiang Yao's place was obviously more full of life. At a glance, one could see a wide variety of things, sofas and carpets of both light and dark colors, several paintings hanging on the wall, lush plants in the farthest distance, and dolls sitting in a row on top of the sofa.

All of them reveal the warmth of "home".

All these show that Jiang Yao has lived here for quite some time.

There was also a pleasant smell in the air, the kind of scent that a girl smells. Chen Yuan often smelled it when he hugged Jiang Yao.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not such a coincidence. There are only a few good residential areas around Lanjing University Town, and they are all over the place. It's hard to find a suitable one, and the one opposite just happened to be vacant." She suddenly spoke.

"I don't know about that. My dad rented it for me. Did you find it yourself?"

The two held hands. Jiang Yao's hands were very soft. While talking, she pulled Chen Yuan to the cloakroom on the right.

"Not really. When I came to Lanjing, I asked my friend to help me find it. I rented one before, but the other party regretted the contract before I moved in... This is where I usually keep my clothes."

Chen Yuan walked in and was instantly shocked.

What is a girls' cloakroom?

What you can see are several open cabinets, some of which are semi-hollowed out. They are filled with a variety of clothes, almost extending to the ceiling, but they are all stacked up.

With his height, he couldn't reach it even with his hand, but it would be easy if he stood on the stool beside him.

And the styles of clothes vary greatly.

To put it this way, Chen Yuan seemed to see two different colors of water flowing in a river.

That's how he felt.

The clothes on the left are all mature style!
Suits, evening gowns, cheongsams, pencil skirts, shirts, lazy-style sweaters, Korean-style coats, and red long skirts.

And the ones on the right are all cute 2D style!

Lolita, various puffy skirts, JK, jeans, clipped socks, pure white V-neck lining, French sweaters and jackets.

There are more than a dozen different colors and styles of skirts alone, which is dizzying.

Moreover, there was a strange fragrance in the cloakroom. The more Chen Yuan smelled it, the more he felt intoxicated. It was like the kind of smell that he could only smell when he was in Jiang Yao's arms.

"This is too much!"

"A lot? I usually feel like I have nothing to wear... and here are my shoes."

Jiang Yao gave a sweet smile and pointed her finger to the side.

When she called Chen Yuan home, she was still a little shy. After all, a girl's home is very private and can never be shown to outsiders.

Even couples have to go through a certain stage before they can show off.

Because it is best for girls to maintain enough mystery in a relationship so that they can continue to be attractive to their boyfriends.

Once entering the boudoir, it means that the relationship has been further advanced.

Following the direction of her finger, Chen Yuan was shocked again.

It turns out that the shoe cabinet at the entrance is just the tip of the iceberg. There are really a lot of shoes here!
There are more than twenty pairs of high-heeled shoes of various colors, not to mention the put-on and take-off flat shoes and sneakers, which are also divided into two different types. There are also more than a dozen pairs of small leather shoes, both high-heeled and low-heeled.

There were even the kind of little leather shoes with pink laces that Chen Yuan had only seen at comic conventions.

It was what a loli wore, and he had never seen Jiang Yao wear it before.

Maybe it's just there for looks.

"Can you wear so many shoes?"

“Of course, sometimes I feel like buying some more.”

"what?"

However, shoes look more ornamental than clothes. When Chen Yuan spoke, his eyes were always on the shoe rack.

Why do I feel so attractive for some unknown reason?

He shifted his gaze, involuntarily turning to Jiang Yao's feet.

She was wearing white cotton slippers, revealing her pink toes. Her nails were neatly trimmed, round and smooth, making her look adorable.

Noticing Chen Yuan's gaze, Jiang Yao's toes shrank nervously.

"Young Master, please stop staring at me...it's embarrassing."

"Ahem, it looks good. I love it."

"Tsk, now you've learned to be smooth-talking! Humph~"

Jiang Yao put her finger on his lips and pulled him out of the cloakroom. "Then, this is the living room where I usually eat. I didn't buy a dining table, so I usually eat on the coffee table. I like this coffee table very much."

She nimbly jumped a few steps, walked over, picked up the freshly brewed coffee, took a sip, and made a smacking sound.

Then handed it to Chen Yuan.

"Here you go, the temperature is just right."

Chen Yuan also took a sip of coffee and looked at the uneven stone slab coffee table for a few more times.

Instead of this, he shifted his gaze to something else more noteworthy and raised his eyebrows.

Even the sofa is two-toned, with different blankets, light on one side and dark on the other.

Corresponding to the direction of the sofa, an expensive TV is hung on the wall, with tall glass TV cabinets on both sides.

On the cabinet, there were many anime characters that Jiang Yao liked. Chen Yuan saw the badge he had given her before, as well as miniature figures of the pirate group, assembled building blocks and old comic magazines.

He had read some of the magazines and was amazed.

The items on the cabinet on the other side are completely different. There are all kinds of books, most of which are philosophy books, such as "Critique of Pure Reason", "Being and Nothingness", "The Social Contract" and other obscure books.

There were several cans of tea that looked very expensive, but the packaging was sealed and it looked like they had never been opened.

There is also a round glass tank with two black turtles in it.

Chen Yuan hadn't checked the most important bedroom yet, but he was already confused. He couldn't help himself and looked at Jiang Yao impatiently.

"Why are there two types of things in your house? Clothes, shoes, and ornaments... This is a bit abnormal."

"This... is what I wanted to tell you."

Jiang Yao took a deep breath and stood there obediently, her expression indescribably serious, but a hint of palpable sadness suddenly flashed across her watery eyes.

She looked at Chen Yuan and said softly, "Young Master, our relationship has come to this point. We should prepare to travel together. I like you more and more. If I keep some things secret, I will always feel guilty... In fact, I have a mental illness."

Her tone was tentative and cautious, "I believe you have noticed something?"

This moment.

The wind was still. Chen Yuan stood there motionless, his expression revealing no emotion at all.

Jiang Yao's eyes widened slightly, as if to observe his reaction.

She didn’t know how long it had been, but she felt that those few seconds were so unbearable, as if a century had passed.

Chen Yuancai said "hmm" softly, and then he asked: "And then?"

"This mental symptom is that I have different personalities... Medically it's called schizophrenia, which is not a very special disease. So there are actually two people living in my body, and they like different things." Jiang Yao frowned, and after a moment, she suddenly covered her cheeks, "I really didn't mean to hide it from you! But I'm afraid you will ignore me if I tell you..."

"No wonder!"

Chen Yuan actually felt somewhat relieved, a kind of liberation of enlightenment. He scratched his head and said, "I have always wondered why you are so different and beyond the scope of a normal person. It turns out that there is really a problem with you."

"Yes, we have been together for so many days, I know you will find out something, I think this trip is an opportunity for me to be honest, you have the right to know the truth!"

"so……"

"So I am Yaoyao now, but the me in school will become Ningning as soon as I am in a certain environment!" Jiang Yao's expression was extremely serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all!

She is truly a perfect actress, which is extremely difficult for anyone to say.

But when Chen Yuan saw her expression, he actually saw two parts of pain, three parts of struggle and five parts of relief!
This is an incredible performance.

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed suddenly. His speculations over the past few days were confirmed. Of course he was surprised, but not that surprised.

When I visited just now, these two styles were too obvious, and they are simply not something a normal person can create.

"I didn't tell you that I live across the street because I was afraid you would come to my house and find out all this. I don't want to lose the love I finally got... Chen Yuan, I'm sorry." Jiang Yao had tears in her eyes and her tone was full of regret and self-blame.

"No...it's okay." Chen Yuan didn't know how to comfort her.

This confession really caught him off guard.

Even if I guessed it, this confession was too sudden.

It is possible that traveling together has accelerated the progress of their relationship. In fact, he can discover it slowly on his own, and his acceptance level should be much better than it is now.

At this moment, a bomb is thrown directly.

"During the nights we spent together, nothing more intimate happened, which made me sure that you really liked me... But now, knowing the facts about the disease, will you still like me?"

Jiang Yao said as she walked to the coffee table, took out a medical record from the drawer below, and handed it to Chen Yuan with trembling hands.

She raised her cheeks and tears flowed at that moment.

It slid along the soft curve of the face and dripped onto the ground.

Chen Yuan took the medical record and looked at it carefully. It clearly stated schizophrenia and anxiety symptoms, etc. The diagnosis time was a few months ago, but the medical history was many years. The attending physician was named Cheng.

"Is this...hereditary or acquired?"

He asked this without rushing to say something like "Of course I like it", but instead.

"It's hereditary...my mother is a little sick." Jiang Yao's face was not red, and her heart was not beating, but her face was pale and haggard.

What she said was not wrong, Jiang Ruxue was indeed sick.

"So you and Ningning... are completely different people? Personalities and hobbies? What about memories?"

"We share the same memories. Although we have different hobbies, we both like you. This is quite surprising." Jiang Yao began to make up stories.

"Let me digest this for a while..."

Chen Yuan held onto the wall beside him, recalling all the moments they had spent together from half a year ago to now.

He finally understood.

The first love in life was an online romance. His girlfriend was lively, cute, quirky, and very good at making people happy. Chen Yuan thought she was a cute girl at first... But when he met her in real life, he found out that his girlfriend was wearing high heels, had an elegant and intellectual temperament, and was also a university teacher?

Why can't I connect it with that little clip of online love?

It turns out there is this strange disease!

That explains everything!

Chen Yuan exhaled, took a step forward, and walked from the living room to the bedroom.

There is a dressing table at the head of the bed in the bedroom, which is a smart technology one. If it is not lit, it is a pure white foggy glass that cannot be seen. It becomes a mirror when it is lit.

It is filled with various cosmetics of all sizes.

And near the windowsill, there is a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

There is also a small table next to it.

If you look closely, you can see that the cosmetics on both sides are different, but the masks are double.

Looking at the two mirrors, Chen Yuan seemed to see different versions of herself in her daily life, standing in different places, dressing, grooming, putting on makeup, and applying a facial mask in front of the mirror.

One is the lovely Yaoyao.

The other is the aloof Jiang Ning.

Mental schizophrenia is no joke. Chen Yuan felt it so realistically. The difference between the two people was simply too great. Apart from their looks and figures, they were almost identical in no other aspect.

They say different things, do different things, and even their expressions when they are shy or angry are different.

You must be in a lot of pain...

Chen Yuan lowered his head, sadness welling up in his eyes. He couldn't understand what schizophrenia felt like, but people who were different from normal people were always tormented and painful inside.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from behind.

Jiang Yao also followed. She leaned against the door frame, her eyes as panicked as a frightened deer.

Her voice was so low that it was inaudible.

"Do you... mind?"

The words became weaker and weaker, as if filled with countless disappointments and grievances.

"No, I just thought that this disease can be cured, right?"

"It should be possible. At least after I met you, my mental state has been quite stable and the changes are very regular... I just hope you can tell Yaoyao and Ningning apart..."

"Well, even if it can't be cured, I won't abandon you. Believe me, Yaoyao, I will definitely think of many ways," Chen Yuan suddenly came over, holding her shoulders, and said in a very serious tone, "I will always be with you! Don't be sad because of this disease."

As he said this, he hugged Jiang Yao tightly.

The hug was so warm and powerful that Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment.

Plus his firm tone.

Instead of feeling safe, Jiang Yao lost her composure in an instant and became panicked.

The boyfriend's assurance sounded so sincere, without any pretense.

He believed this absurd story and was willing to give everything for it.

Just for her.

Comfort her not to be sad, he is there.

However, what made Chen Yuan easily deliver on his important promise was just a lie.

Jiang Yao suddenly felt very guilty. She rested her chin on Chen Yuan's shoulder, her eyes flashing wildly.

Is this a fall into the abyss? Of course it is.

There is no going back, from the time the first lie was told to this moment.

She deceived herself and even dragged her sister into it.

Love is so selfish and despicable that it will do anything to possess.

Jiang Yao truly felt regretful. She had never felt so regretful before.

"I'm not sad, as long as you are here..." She closed her eyes and said in a trembling voice.

"I...I'm going to wash my face."

Chen Yuan's voice also changed, as if there was something stuck in his throat. He didn't let Jiang Yao see it, but walked quickly towards the bathroom.

I saw his back disappear into the toilet and the door was closed.

Jiang Yao was feeling sad, but the door of the closet suddenly opened a crack and a pair of eyes peeked out from inside.

"Hello!" The low voice was particularly magnetic.

My sister suddenly came to her senses and walked over in two or three steps.

"It worked, the young master believed it!"

"Then hurry up and tell me about the heart-thumping game. Why are you holding me so tightly?" Jiang Ning tapped her sister's head, emphasizing the point.

"Yes, yes, yes! I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."

Jiang Yao took a deep breath, and the bedroom closet door closed again.

She walked out, taking her sister's soul with her, and from then on, there was no way back for the two of them.
