Chapter 136: The New Sub-Personality
The director frowned, "An ancient drama? A man? That's really bizarre. Do you feel any discomfort or strange sensations in your body?"
Li Baiyu shook her head, "No, I'm fine. It's just that I suddenly came here, and I'm not quite used to it."
The director looked at her, his heart filled with doubt and unease. He didn't know what background this woman had, nor why she appeared here. However, he had a hunch that this woman might be somehow connected to Haochuan's fainting.
"Wait here for now, we'll find out everything," said the director as he turned and left the dressing room.
The dressing room was left with only Li Baiyu and Su Qing.
Li Baiyu sat there, looking full of confusion and unease.
"Are you okay?"
Su Qing asked cautiously.
"I just don't understand why I ended up here, and I don't know anyone here." Li Baiyu looked at herself in the mirror, her delicate face now showing bewilderment and helplessness.
Su Qing looked at Li Baiyu, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"Can you tell me if anything strange has happened while you were acting?" Su Qing asked tentatively.
Li Baiyu shook her head, "No, everything was normal when I was acting. It's just that suddenly, I came here."
Su Qing frowned, "Have you felt anything different in your body? Like some sort of force moving inside you?"
Li Baiyu paused, then shook her head, "No, there's nothing different in my body."
Su Qing looked at her, feeling a bit disappointed. She originally thought she might find some clues from Li Baiyu, but it seemed it was all in vain.
At that moment, the director walked in. He looked at Li Baiyu and Su Qing, then said, "We've already investigated, and Li Baiyu is indeed an online drama actor. She was just filming an ancient drama scene, playing a man. Suddenly, she arrived here. As for the reason, we are still not clear."
Su Qing frowned, "Is Haochuan's fainting related to her?"
The director shook his head, "Currently, there seems to be no direct connection between the two. However, we cannot rule out this possibility either. After all, there are many things in this world that we cannot explain."
The door to the dressing room was gently pushed open, and Li Baiyu walked out. Her face showed a trace of confusion and unease, as if she hadn't quite recovered from the chaos earlier.
In the hallway stood a tall, handsome man.
He was Shen Jingqi.
Li Baiyu saw Shen Jingqi and instinctively stopped in her tracks. She looked at him perplexedly and asked, "Jingqi, what's all this about? Why did I appear here?"
Shen Jingqi turned around, looked deeply at Li Baiyu. His gaze seemed to penetrate the heart and reach the depths of the soul.
"Senior, you don't need to panic. All of this is arranged by me."
"What?" Li Baiyu was shocked, her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe her ears, that all of this was arranged by Shen Jingqi?
Shen Jingqi nodded, his tone calm and resolute. "Yes, all of this was arranged by me. Including telling the director that you are an actor."
Li Baiyu frowned, she didn't understand why Shen Jingqi would do this. "Why did you do this?"
Shen Jingqi sighed, as if bearing a heavy burden in his heart. "Senior, you need to know, you are not just yourself. You have other identities, other sub-personalities."
Shen Jingqi looked at her, his eyes filled with sympathy and concern. "You have a rare psychological illness called Multiple Personality Disorder. There are several different personalities living inside your body. Haochuan, he is actually one of your new sub-personalities."
"What? Haochuan is also my sub-personality?" Li Baiyu was stunned into silence by this revelation. She couldn't believe her ears.
Shen Jingqi nodded, his tone firm and strong. "Yes, Haochuan is your sub-personality. He has been asleep inside you until recently, when he was awakened."
Li Baiyu suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if the entire world were spinning.
Shen Jingqi saw this and quickly supported her. "Are you alright? Don't worry, I will help you."
Li Baiyu leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. She looked at Shen Jingqi, her eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. "What... What should I do?"
Shen Jingqi looked at her, his eyes full of determination and encouragement. "You need to be strong. I will help you integrate all your sub-personalities, so you can become a whole person again."
Li Baiyu nodded, although her heart was full of fear and unease, she chose to believe Shen Jingqi. She knew she had no other choice.
Shen Jingqi helped Li Baiyu to a lounge, letting her sit down to rest. He sat opposite her and began to explain everything about Multiple Personality Disorder.
"Multiple Personality Disorder is a rare psychological illness. There are several different personalities living inside the patient's body. These personalities are independent and do not know each other. And the patient himself often cannot realize the existence of these personalities."
"And you are such a patient. There are several different personalities living inside your body."
"However, based on my observation, your sub-personalities are unstable and have limited existence, lasting at most two days. Beyond two days, they will faint due to energy overload. And this time, Haochuan fainted because he exceeded the time limit."
Li Baiyu listened to Shen Jingqi's explanation, her heart filled with shock and unease. She couldn't believe her ears, that this was all true.
Shen Jingqi looked at her, his tone firm and powerful. "Senior, you need to trust science."
Li Baiyu composed herself, "I trust you."
When inside the room, Li Baiyu packed Haochuan's suitcase and, under the gaze of many, left the theater with Shen Jingqi.
Li Baiyu's gaze held a longing for home mixed with a subtle complex emotion. She turned to look at Su Qing beside her, their eyes meeting in the air, as if there were a thousand words to say, but not knowing where to begin.
Su Qing's hands gently twisted the hem of her clothes, her eyes clearly showing reluctance. Over the past two days of interacting with "Haochuan," she developed a deep attraction to this mysterious and affectionate man. She fantasized countless times about spending more time with Haochuan, but now facing the impending departure, her heart was filled with loss and helplessness.
"Are you really leaving?" Su Qing's voice trembled slightly, each word seemed to be squeezed from the depths of her heart.
Li Baiyu gently nodded, her gaze full of tenderness and apology. "Yes, I must go home. But please believe, no matter where I am, I will remember the wonderful time of these two days."
Su Qing's eyes reddened slightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall. "Haochuan, will... will you come back again?"
Li Baiyu took a deep breath, knowing this question was crucial for Su Qing, but for herself, it was a question she couldn't easily answer. "I don't know. But please believe, if possible, I will certainly come to see you again."
The atmosphere between the two became extraordinarily heavy, as if the air around them had solidified. Su Qing suddenly stepped forward and hugged Li Baiyu tightly, as if wanting to etch this moment in her heart forever. "Haochuan, you must take care, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember I'm here waiting for you."
