Multiple Personalities

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtain gaps, casting dappled shadows on Shen Jingqi's face, waking him from his dreams. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched lazily, and was just about to embrace the new day.

However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a furious roar.

Shen Jingqi suddenly realized that Li Baiyu was standing at his doorway, wearing a crisp casual outfit, hair neatly groomed, looking particularly spirited. But his face, at this moment, was as cold and ruthless as ice.

"Kid, I found out you have some dirty thoughts about my sister!" Li Baiyu's voice was low and powerful, each word seemed squeezed out through clenched teeth, oozing with menace.

Shen Jingqi was taken aback, completely clueless about why Li Baiyu would suddenly say this. He was just about to explain when he saw that Li Baiyu had already started moving.

Only to see Li Baiyu suddenly raise the dumbbell in his hand, which seemed to transform into a deadly weapon, whistling through the air, and smashed fiercely towards Shen Jingqi.

Startled, Shen Jingqi quickly dodged to the side. The dumbbell grazed his scalp, crashing heavily against the wall with a loud "bang". Plaster dust trickled down the wall, leaving a deep dent.

Shen Jingqi counted himself lucky; he knew Li Baiyu's strength, and if that blow had landed on him, the consequences would be unimaginable. He swiftly adjusted his stance, preparing to meet Li Baiyu's next wave of attack.

However, Li Baiyu didn't give him any time to catch his breath. He flickered like a ghost behind Shen Jingqi, swinging the dumbbell again towards his back.

Shen Jingqi's heart skipped a beat; he suddenly leaped forward, narrowly avoiding the strike. After landing, he quickly turned around, staring at Li Baiyu with piercing eyes filled with confusion and anger.

"What are you doing? Is there some misunderstanding between us?" Shen Jingqi shouted, trying to use words to quell Li Baiyu's fury.

However, Li Baiyu seemed completely impervious to his words, his eyes filled only with indifference and wrath. He swung the dumbbell again, towards Shen Jingqi.

This time, Shen Jingqi chose not to dodge but instead, confronted it head-on. He clenched his fists and swung out quickly, colliding with Li Baiyu's dumbbell.

"Bang!" A resounding noise echoed as their strengths clashed in the air, stirring up a wave of energy. Shen Jingqi felt a tremendous force emanating, slightly numbing his arms, but he gritted his teeth and held his ground, not retreating an inch.

Li Baiyu was taken aback; he hadn't expected Shen Jingqi to actually withstand his blow. But he quickly composed himself and swung the dumbbell again towards Shen Jingqi.

Shen Jingqi dared not be careless. He nimbly dodged, simultaneously looking for opportunities to counterattack. Their figures rapidly traversed the room, the whistling of the dumbbell and the sound of fists and feet colliding forming an intense battle symphony.

Shen Jingqi started attentively observing Li Baiyu's attack patterns, trying to find his weaknesses.

Finally, during a confrontation, Shen Jingqi spotted a slight flaw in Li Baiyu. He delivered a swift uppercut to Li Baiyu's chin.

Caught off guard, Li Baiyu got hit on the chin. He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, causing him to instinctively fall backward. Shen Jingqi seized the opportunity to step forward and snatch the dumbbell from his hand.

"Calm down! You might hurt yourself like this!" Shen Jingqi shouted, trying to awaken Li Baiyu's rationality.

However, Li Baiyu seemed completely irrational, suddenly breaking free from Shen Jingqi's grasp and charging at him again.

Shen Jingqi, helpless, could only raise the dumbbell once more to meet Li Baiyu's attack. The battle between them escalated again, with the dumbbell weaving back and forth between them, each collision sparking off fireworks.

Shen Jingqi sought an opportunity, swinging the dumbbell hard, knocking Li Baiyu to the ground.

Li Baiyu laid on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes still filled with anger and resentment. Shen Jingqi looked at him, his heart a mix of emotions. He didn't know why Li Baiyu had suddenly become so violent, nor did he understand what misunderstanding had occurred between them.

At this moment, Li Baiyu suddenly got up from the ground, charging at Shen Jingqi once more. Seeing this, Shen Jingqi could only raise the dumbbell again to confront him.

Their figures intertwined again, the whistling of the dumbbell and the sound of fists and feet colliding reverberating throughout the room.

Shen Jingqi knew he had to end this fight quickly, or both of them would be utterly exhausted.

So, he began using his combat skills, trying to find Li Baiyu's weaknesses. Finally, he timed it right and delivered a side kick, hitting Li Baiyu in the waist.

Li Baiyu felt a sharp pain, causing his body to instinctively lurch forward. Shen Jingqi seized the opportunity to press him down on the ground.

"Calm down!" Shen Jingqi shouted, trying to wake up Li Baiyu.

However, Li Baiyu seemed utterly oblivious, still struggling desperately, trying to break free from Shen Jingqi's hold.

Shen Jingqi, feeling helpless, could only hold Li Baiyu down tightly to prevent him from moving. It was at this moment he suddenly felt dizzy, and his body began to sway.

Apparently, during the fight, he had also sustained considerable injuries. At this moment, his physical strength had reached its limit, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Bang!" With a loud crash, Shen Jingqi fell to the ground, losing consciousness. Meanwhile, Li Baiyu took the opportunity to break free, standing there panting.

When Shen Jingqi awoke again, he found himself lying in a hospital bed. He rubbed his somewhat aching head, trying to recall what had happened earlier.

At this moment, a nurse walked in, seeing him awake, smiled and said, "You're finally awake. Your friend has been waiting here for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Shen Jingqi was surprised. He followed the nurse's gaze and saw Li Baiyu sitting on a chair outside the ward, head lowered, lost in thought.

A wave of emotion surged through Shen Jingqi's heart. He didn't know why Li Baiyu had suddenly attacked him, but he knew the misunderstanding between them needed to be resolved quickly.

So, he struggled to sit up from the bed, then walked out of the ward.

Li Baiyu saw him coming out, looked up at him briefly, and then lowered his head again. Shen Jingqi walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What misunderstanding happened between us? Can you tell me?"

Li Baiyu was silent for a while, then looked up at him and said, "I saw your chat logs with my sister... I thought you had bad intentions towards her..."

Hearing this, Shen Jingqi was stunned, finally understanding why Li Baiyu suddenly attacked him. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Baiyu, you misunderstood. Li Baiyu and I are just ordinary friends. There's nothing like what you're thinking between us."
