Chapter 218: The lie of dual personality, Chen Yuan approaches the truth
Lying on the bed, with Chen Yuan's hypnotic kiss, Jiang Ning quickly fell asleep hugging his arms. She turned slightly to one side, folded her legs, and buried her cheek in the soft pillow.

A quiet afternoon.

The faint sunlight filtered through a gap in the curtains and sprinkled onto one side of the floor.

At first, Chen Yuan stared at the sunlight coming through to stay awake, but gradually, because he had always had the habit of taking naps, sleepiness quickly crept into his mind, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the end, his willpower was completely unable to resist the overwhelming sleepiness.

"Click".

It was as if someone pressed the light switch and the whole world became dim and so quiet.

It was as if a veil was caressing his face, coming and going, and his mind became steady, all his chaotic thoughts vanished.

Time passes minute by second.

Chen Yuan seemed to have forgotten what he was here for.

The time I spent with Ningning was so leisurely, I didn't have to think about anything, nothing mattered anymore...

"call!"

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.

He wasn't really here to take a nap, he had something important to do! This thought was like a ray of light that cleared away all the haze and brightened his brain, making him sober.

Just now, Chen Yuan wanted to wait until Jiang Ning fell asleep before taking action.

He didn't expect that the habit of taking a nap would be so harmful. Whenever he lay down on the bed after eating at noon, his eyelids would immediately feel heavy.

It's impossible to resist.

Chen Yuan rustled his cell phone out of his pocket, opened it and saw that only half an hour had passed.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Beside him, Jiang Ning was sleeping soundly, showing no sign of being woken by him.

Chen Yuan turned his head to take a look. He tried to move his arm carefully, but seeing that it did not wake the other person up, he became bolder and pulled out his entire hand which was numb from being pressed down.

"Hmm~" Ningning let out a short moan.

Chen Yuan's whole body stiffened instantly, thinking she had woken up.

As a result, Ningbao simply turned over, revealing her smooth and beautiful back in a suspender top, and found a more comfortable sleeping position, and her breathing became peaceful again.

……

Chen Yuan didn't even put on his slippers, holding his hand, and tiptoed out of the master bedroom. He hadn't finished searching the entire living room yet, and since he had decided on a few places in his mind that he must look for, he went straight to the shelf and opened the ornaments and storage boxes one by one to check.

I didn't look through many boxes.

He soon found a piece of paper that looked very much like a medical record. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he opened it to take a look.

Unfortunately, when I opened it, it wasn't a medical record.

It was a photocopy of the rental house, not stapled together, so it was scattered around. He also found a few other photocopies in other boxes.

The name filled in by the tenant is: Jiang Ning.

The owner's surname is Shi, and her given name is Shi Yuwei, which also sounds like a girl.

And a guarantor.

Shouldn't the third column be filled with the name of the intermediary? The guarantor is Qin Ting, and her detailed address is also listed.

Chen Yuan had an impression of this name. It seemed that Ningning called her Sister Ting. She should be one of the few friends he had met.

He took out his cell phone and took a picture of the address.

I don’t know if it will be useful in the future, but it’s definitely a good idea to pay attention.

After putting these things back to their original places, Chen Yuan stood in the living room and took a quick look.

It was almost invisible to the naked eye. He had searched all the places where something might be hidden. After confirming that there was nothing in the living room, Chen Yuan once again turned his attention to the door of the second bedroom.

He walked over.

He put his hand on the handle and twisted it twice.

inside the door.

Jiang Yao seemed to have heard something unusual. She turned her head to look. Her expression was quite calm at first, but when she picked up her phone and saw that Jiang Ning had not sent a message, Yao Yao's brows suddenly furrowed.

Is it possible that Chen Yuan was the one opening the door?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao held her breath and her face turned pale.

In that split second, countless thoughts flashed through her mind: how should she hide?
Cover your face with a pillow? Or hide under a chair!
Behind the door is also OK!
Although the door was locked, she couldn't control her fear and dared not breathe.

outside.

Chen Yuan gave up after twisting it a few times. He thought it would be better not to leave the medical record here, otherwise he would not be able to find it and would have to find a reason to come back again.

There was no more movement.

Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

She picked up her phone and continued playing.

Ningning and Yaoyao were completely unaware that the boat they were in together on had begun to leak, and the gap under their feet was getting bigger and bigger. They just thought it was an ordinary day like any other.

I thought that I could get away with this small crisis by just using my clever brain a little.

However, the truth will never come out.

Jiang Yao even thought that Chen Yuan had gotten up to pee and had found the wrong door, so she didn't take it seriously at all. She was struggling over whether to ask for leave for the afternoon live broadcast. If the young master's lunch break was too long, she might not be able to broadcast.

Perhaps because of his 100% trust, Chen Yuan never doubted it.

But when trust is mixed with a drop of doubt, it will be like a small flame on the grass slope, which will burn more and more fiercely.

Until the whole world is set on fire.

Chen Yuan walked into Jiang Ning's study room as if possessed by a spirit. He observed his surroundings. This quiet space made him feel very comfortable. He miraculously got rid of his frightened state, and his steps were extremely calm.

This study room looked very similar to Teacher Jiang’s office, which he had visited before.

The same plain wooden cabinets, windowsills, shelves, and desks are filled with green plants.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is full of vitality.

He only glanced through those obscure books once and felt that the medical records would definitely not be hidden in such a place. People who read books frequently know that important things should not be hidden in books, otherwise they will definitely lose the things if they are flipping through them.

Under the desk lamp, the study tools were arranged so neatly that Chen Yuan's eyes showed deep admiration.

Pens, glasses cases, hairpins, thesis materials, iPads for recording things, everything was placed in the imagined position and could be reached by hand. Through this desk, he could even see what Jiang Ning looked like when she was studying on weekdays.

The green plants around were swaying, and the windowsill was slightly open, with wind blowing in from the gap. At this time, Jiang Ning would definitely reach out and take the pen to hold down the tilted pages of the book.

Chen Yuan sat on the chair, bent down and began to search the drawers one by one.

This desk actually contained many very important documents. After flipping through them for a few times, he saw the resignation letter from Lanjing University.

He read it briefly, nothing special.

There was Vice Principal Zhang's signature on it, and the application date was counted from the year before. Ningning was right, she had started planning to resign a long time ago.

Scroll down further.

He found a jewelry box, a Yale University graduation photo, and a diploma at the bottom.

Chen Yuan touched the material of the certificate, which looked like sheepskin, a little rough, but of good quality. There were complicated patterns on it, and several rows of English words in gold-plated letters, and the college logo could only be seen when it was turned over. Chen Yuan inexplicably remembered a novel he had read before, in which there was a magical college called Kassel College.

“When you are the most lonely and hopeless, a door will open beside you.” “Lu Mingfei waited for eighteen years, and in the year when he was at his lowest, the door opened.”

That door, that admission letter that came from across the ocean.

Chen Yuan had never been abroad, but he was actually curious about the certificate. He smiled bitterly and shook his head without opening it.

He didn't want Ningning to ruin this unique thing.

It seems that his graduation from Yale University is genuine. He thinks this is right. No matter what, the intellectual temperament of Teacher Jiang cannot be fake. Some things cannot be faked.

Chen Yuan picked up the photo and took a look. All of them were faces of foreign girls. After searching for a few rows and failing to find Jiang Ning, he gave up.

He also opened the jewelry box and took a look.

When he opened it, he was silent.

The ring that could be used as a token of love was lying safely inside. This small thing worth a dozen dollars was actually treated as a valuable jewelry. It was professionally sandwiched between the colorful brocade of the box, and the glowing mirror faintly reflected Chen Yuan's face.

He once suspected that this thing was made of stainless steel. It was hard and did not fade.

Chen Yuan laughed derisively. It would be nice if this relationship was really like stainless steel. How could it be as sincere as diamond? Where in the world could there be such love? Being so hard and unbreakable was what many people dreamed of throughout their lives.

How many lovers who have sworn to be together have drifted apart as time goes by.

Chen Yuan put the things back and arranged them.

Open the third drawer.

The medical record was like a treasure that would only appear at the very end of the search. It lay abruptly in the middle of the drawer, folded up.

Chen Yuan's eyes widened suddenly and he took it out hurriedly.

This is definitely the one Jiang Yao showed him that day. Even the ink mark on the back is exactly the same. He was deeply impressed.

His breathing suddenly became rapid and he opened the book with trembling hands.

"Lanjing City Second People's Hospital..."

"Psychiatry Department, attending physician Cheng Ya."

"Schizophrenia, obvious anxiety symptoms, diagnosis result..."

Chen Yuan felt that he remembered correctly, it was not a psychology department, he remembered that it was a mental illness when he first saw it, which was exactly what Professor Fu said, multiple personality is an extremely rare mental illness. If schizophrenia is too much external influence, it is difficult to live a normal life, and it is difficult to distinguish what is reality, then multiple personality is a psychological disorder, or deformity, which comes from within.

And the incidence rate is more than ten times lower than that of schizophrenia.

Such an obvious mistake can only mean that the medical record is forged, but it clearly has the seal of Lanjing Hospital on it, so could it also be fake?

Touch the truth.

Chen Yuan was 100% sure that he had been cheated.

He had been trying hard to find the medical record, and now it was in his hands.

But Chen Yuan was not happy at all. He sat in the chair, feeling a sharp pain in his heart... He was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva. At this moment, he wanted to breathe deeply as he felt like he could hardly breathe.

Countless thoughts intertwined in my mind.

The sense of loss made his shoulders relax and he couldn't straighten his back.

At this moment, I just want to turn into a puddle of mud, melt away and blend into the cracks in the floor.

Chen Yuan didn't even want to think.

Why would you lie?
Is there anything that cannot be laid out and discussed openly?

Didn’t they agree to work hard for their love together and run towards the life they dreamed of in the future? They had planned such a beautiful future.

If this love is based on lies, does it still have any meaning?

Chen Yuan put the medical record back, and this action seemed to have consumed all his strength.

He couldn't figure out what Teacher Jiang's purpose was in presenting the two personalities of Ningning and Yaoyao to him separately.

There is no doubt that Chen Yuan is only one step away from the real answer.

But, he is now.

He had always firmly believed that he was on the correct path of pure love, but he suffered great trauma.

It is undoubtedly difficult to pursue pure love.

If Chen Yuan stopped here, he might be kept in the dark for his entire life, but he would also have a relatively happy life. Knowing less is not necessarily a bad thing.

In just a few minutes.

He resisted the urge to smash the glass vase on the desk in front of him, suppressed his emotions, and told himself to calm down.

This time.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Compared with his gloomy mood, it was not an exaggeration to say that this light was grand. It shone straight in from the window, half of it shining on his back and the other half blocked by the curtains.

The vase on the table was also shrouded in it.

The water that had just been stored in the bottle a few days ago submerged the rhizomes of this small piece of money plant.

The sunlight passed through the vase, casting circles of ripples on the table, making it difficult to tell whether they were ripples of light or water... Chen Yuan touched the vase lightly, and the ripples shattered into pieces in an instant.

Just like his heart.

……

"I thought you were gone," Jiang Ning rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom. She looked at Chen Yuan who was sitting on the sofa and said, "When I woke up, you were not around. You were in the living room."

Chen Yuan didn't say anything, just stared at the balcony.

"What time did you wake up?" Jiang Ning stretched lazily, walked to the sink, scooped up some water and washed her face.

She suddenly became more energetic.

She slept very soundly during this nap. Two hours had passed and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Maybe, as long as Chen Yuan stays by her side, she will feel safe.

Jiang Ning wiped her face and sat down with him on the sofa.

"Would you lie to me?"

Suddenly, Chen Yuan turned his head, looked into her eyes, and asked word by word.

"Wha...what?"

"It's okay," Chen Yuan picked up his phone and looked at the time, "I woke up at two o'clock. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Jiang Ning was stunned by the question at first, but only reacted now.

"You wake up so early?" She forced a smile.

"Well, I should probably pack up and go out. I have a part-time job in the afternoon. How about you?"

"I'm busy too."

"See you tonight."

Chen Yuan smiled at her and reached out to hug Ning Bao. He disguised his emotions very well.

Now, he needs to seriously consider whether or not to confront Teacher Jiang.
