Chapter 501: Wang Qingzhao Finds Out
As for this kind of thing, Jiang Ran didn't mind. He simply let Wang Qingzhao give him a massage.Consider it relaxing his entire body's muscles and bones.
To be honest, Wang Qingzhao must have really spent time learning it properly. The massage was quite comfortable.
Especially when she stepped on his back.
By the time the massage session was over, half an hour had passed.
At this moment, Wang Qingzhao got down from Jiang Ran's back.
She stood on the soft bed beside Jiang Ran's body, staring at Jiang Ran who was still lying face down on the bed, and asked, "Are you the original Jiang Ran, or one of his alternate personalities?"
A sudden question.
It caused the already somewhat chilly and quiet room's temperature to plummet completely.
After all, this question came too abruptly. It was all tenderness just a moment ago, but now it was extremely forceful.
Jiang Ran didn't make a sound, as if he hadn't heard.
However, Wang Qingzhao didn't ask again, only her gaze was burning.
Jiang Ran still didn't turn his head. After a few minutes, his steady voice came out: "Why would you ask that?"
Wang Qingzhao said, "I know you have dissociative identity disorder. After all, I was the one who bought your American meds for you."
"Moreover, I've also met one of your personalities. That personality seemed very much like a woman."
"So, there must be several alternate personalities inside you."
"As for why I think you're not the main personality..."
"Actually, from the moment we met today, when I drove to pick you up at your apartment entrance."
"The feeling you gave me was different from usual."
"Your words and actions were somewhat incompatible with the usual ones."
"During the time we spent together afterward, especially at the restaurant, you knocked out a burly man with one punch."
"The Jiang Ran I know is not that powerful, nor that violent."
"If it were the previous Jiang Ran, he would have stepped forward to help deal with the evening situation, but he would absolutely rely on reasoning to persuade, not easily resort to force. Besides, he doesn't have any fighting skills; he's purely a weakling."
"Of course, what made me even more certain was the eye contact between you and me half an hour ago, sitting on the bed."
"With the previous Jiang Ran, I could clearly see in his eyes that possessiveness, that innate desire a man has for a beautiful woman. Even though the previous Jiang Ran wasn't a scoundrel, my beauty and figure definitely attracted him."
"He was also clearly a normal man who likes beautiful women, just very restrained, not rash or impulsive."
"But you? Your eyes looking at me were like a pool of stagnant water."
"Not a single shred of desire to possess me."
Jiang Ran suddenly chuckled: "Just that?"
Wang Qingzhao said, "And one last point. I gave you a massage. A beautiful woman."
"That thing of yours down there actually had zero reaction!"
"Even if the woman giving you the massage was average-looking, physical contact would still have caused a reaction."
Flipping over, Jiang Ran sat up on the bed.
He looked up, staring straight at Wang Qingzhao, the corner of his mouth uncontrollably curling upward:
"Smart. Too smart."
"Such brief contact, and you could see so much. Tell me, how should I reward you?"
"Should I give myself to you?"
Wang Qingzhao looked down at Jiang Ran from above: "So you admit you are an alternate personality?"
Jiang Ran said, "If I am an alternate personality, what would you do?"
Wang Qingzhao: "I would take you to see a doctor. If the real you can't come back, then the friendship between us can also end."
Jiang Ran sneered coldly: "Then you're not that exceptionally clever either, are you? How can you be sure that the one you interacted with at the class reunion years after graduation, the one with Fatty and the others..."
"That was the main personality?"
"Has preconception misled you?"
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, asking with keen interest.
He wanted to use these words to see Wang Qingzhao's shocked, astonished expression.
But he didn't get to see it. Instead, Wang Qingzhao's face was as calm as an ancient well without a ripple.
Wang Qingzhao got off the bed, put on her slippers, tidied her clothes a bit, and sat on the edge of the bed.
She looked sideways at Jiang Ran: "I understand what you mean."
"Actually, during that class reunion and subsequent interactions, I already noticed you were different from your university days."
"However, at that time, I just thought that after many years apart, a person's personality is bound to change."
"Moreover, you and Shen Xing broke up. That must have hit you pretty hard."
"Of course, the biggest thing that led to my misjudgment was you developing a mental illness."
"Since you're saying this now, the conclusion is simple."
"The you from university days was No. 1."
"The you at Fatty's class reunion years later was No. 2."
"The current you is No. 3."
"Although you share the same body, you are not the same soul."
Jiang Ran said: "Very close to the truth. Almost there."
"So? What are you planning to do?"
Wang Qingzhao sighed: "Can the No. 1 from university days come back?"
Jiang Ran said: "He's completely gone. Don't think about it. But No. 2 might still come back."
Wang Qingzhao seemed lost in thought, standing in place for a very, very long time.
A long time later, she said coldly to Jiang Ran, "I'm leaving."
...
The next day, early morning, a little past seven.
Several people packed their luggage and checked out of the hotel.
They got in the car and continued heading towards that village called Xiaoshi Village under Yang City.
Inside the car today.
The atmosphere was clearly not as good as yesterday.
Yesterday, the car was filled with constant cheerful conversation.
But today.
Gao Yang was silently driving, same as yesterday.
Jiang Ran was also silently looking at the scenery outside the window, cherishing these hard-won days out.
Qin Chuan and Zhao Yiwan sat in the back, also making little sound, each playing with their own phones.
And Wang Qingzhao and Zhang Xue, who chatted the most happily yesterday.
Wang Qingzhao was also sitting dazedly to one side, maintaining some distance from Jiang Ran. Perhaps the truth from last night had dealt her too heavy a blow.
And Zhang Xue was much the same.
The aftermath of yesterday's restaurant incident still lingered.
Everyone has their own troubles. As soon as one trouble disappears, another new one quietly emerges.
After three hours of driving, the car reached their destination, Xiaoshi Village.
Xiaoshi Village was just an ordinary village.
The villagers who remained here made a living by growing vegetables, raising fish, raising pigs, and poultry.
And the fishpond that Zhang Xue and the others wanted to rent for their video was born in exactly this kind of environment.
The car arrived at the village entrance, and Gao Yang called to contact the fishpond owner.
After contacting the fishpond owner, they successfully met up.
Then they arrived at the fishpond to be rented.
Once they got here.
Qin Chuan and Zhao Yiwan, who were serving as assistants, immediately started looking for camera angles, holding cameras, ready to shoot at any moment.
Jiang Ran and Wang Qingzhao stood to one side, occasionally looking at the fishpond, occasionally looking at Zhang Xue and the others.
And soon, Zhang Xue's video shoot for 'Renting a Fishpond' began.
The people appearing on camera were Zhang Xue and that fishpond owner.
Gao Yang never showed his face in Zhang Xue's videos. Of course, he had occasionally appeared, but only as an extra.
He now also held a handheld camera, shooting from another angle.
