The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Xu Nian slept exceptionally soundly that night.

Not only because I finally met the white moonlight in my heart, but also because I was no longer ruthlessly exploited today.

If this continues, he'll turn into a dried-up corpse.

The first rays of morning sunlight slanted into the man's eyes.

His eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The girl in his arms had already woken up before him.

Good morning, Little Creek.

He yawned, reached out, and wanted to ruffle her silver hair.

But a delicate hand pressed her firmly onto the bed.

Xu Nian felt her blood run cold.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that "Xu Xi's" pupils had lost their color.

"Have you hugged enough?"

She said coldly.

"Let go of me!"

Xu Nian was startled and quickly released the girl from her arms.

Xu Xi glared at him fiercely, then rolled over and climbed off the man.

She stretched out her soft little foot and stomped hard on the man's face.

"You're something else, actually waking her up!"

She practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Xu Nian sobbed in "pain," her heart sinking into an ice cellar.

Only one night had passed when Xu Xi reclaimed the body.

He had originally planned to take Xu Xi to see a psychologist today.

This would ruin the plan.

Suddenly, his clothes were torn to shreds.

Immediately afterwards, a painful sensation came from my lips.

Xu Nian gripped the bedsheet tightly, enduring the agonizing pain.

Afterwards, his neck was gripped tightly, and the girl's fingertips appeared on his neck.

"Don't you feel that she's better than me, gentler than me, and wish I were dead so she could stay by your side forever?"

Xu Nian wanted to say something, but her lips were tightly bitten, and she couldn't utter a single word.

The pressure on his lips suddenly eased just as he was about to suffocate.

"Huff... Huff..."

He was breathing heavily, and a trace of color finally returned to his face.

Xu Xi's fingertips were tightly gripping his neck.

"Since you like her so much, then I'll send you on your way."

"We'll reunite you all once we're in the underworld!"

"You won't."

Xu Nian gave a faint smile and gazed tenderly into her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi's body trembled slightly.

"Because you love me, just like the stream loves me."

He gently tucked the stray hairs from the girl's forehead behind her ear and pulled her into his arms.

"You're just too afraid of losing me, so you try to threaten and scare me with all sorts of means in order to prevent me from having any resistance towards you."

Xu Nian cleared her throat and spoke softly.

"That knife from the night before last, you threw it on the ground before Xiaoxi woke up, didn't you?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Xu Xi immediately bristled, struggling to break free from the man's embrace, her eyes wide with anger.

"I really wanted to kill you then! How dare you defy me again and again!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey me will suffer a terrible fate."

Xu Nian noticed the hint of panic flashing in her eyes and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Come with me to see the doctor. Your medicine has been ruined; we need to get you some more."

"Shut up!"

Xu Xi clenched her fists tightly.

"I'm not sick! And I don't need any medicine!"

Xu Nian sighed.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of the girl's eyes.

"You know what? I actually love you very much, just like I love Xiaoxi."

"You are all the same person, without distinction."

"No matter what she becomes, I will continue to love her deeply."

"This statement also applies to you."

Xu Nian stood up and gently embraced the disheveled girl.

"You must have been feeling really bad back then too."

"I just wanted to make you feel better..."

"Nonsense!"

Xu Xi pushed the man away forcefully and took a few steps back, trembling.

Her breathing was very rapid, and her heart was beating fast.

"I have never had any mental illness! I am perfectly healthy!"

"If you mention these things to me again, you can go to hell!"

After saying this, she put on her clothes and fled from home.

As the roar of the sports car engine faded into the distance, Xu Nianmo breathed a sigh of relief.

His conjecture was correctly verified.

After all, she is Xiaoxi's second personality. No matter how tough she looks on the outside, she is still just a soft-hearted little girl.

The so-called "heart of stone" is just a shell one puts on to protect oneself in the treacherous business world.

She longs to be loved, yet fears losing it, which is why she puts on a stubborn act and tries to force affection into her life.

Little did she know, she didn't actually need to do that.

Because Xu Nian loves Xu Xi deeply, to the core, and is willing to accept everything about her.

This also includes the little girl inside her body who also lacks love.

......

The man straightened his clothes in front of the mirror.

Hat brim pulled low, sunglasses, face mask, long sleeves and trousers.

In the sweltering summer, this outfit truly makes one look like an oddity.

After fully arming himself, he opened a black umbrella and left the villa.

Under the blazing sun, waves of heat rolled in.

As soon as I stepped outside, it felt like I had stepped into a giant oven.

Xu Nian only felt more comfortable after boarding an air-conditioned bus.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up his phone, and carefully studied a series of route maps.

The route leads directly to a nursing home on the outskirts of the city.

According to Wen Yao, Xu Xi came to this place for medical treatment and medicine before her body was completely taken over by the second personality.

Her psychologist also works here.

Since Xu Xi was unwilling to come, he would have to come in person to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine for her to take back.

After changing buses three times, Xu Nian finally arrived at her destination.

Sea Breeze Sanatorium.

He squinted and peered inside.

Despite being called a sanatorium, this place is more like a resort estate.

A cluster of buildings nestled in the mountains, surrounded by green hills, flowing streams, and gardens full of roses.

Even the air here is exceptionally fresh.

Xu Nian took a deep breath and immediately felt refreshed.

He shook his head and walked towards the gate.

"Hey, hey, stop! What are you doing?"

A guard noticed Xu Nian and quickly stopped him.

"I've come to see Dr. Leng Huaqiu."

Xu Nian replied.

The guard sized him up a few times.

Dressed completely covered up, their face was obscured by a mask.

His back was slightly hunched, and his hands had rough calluses.

"This area is not open to the public. Please leave."

Xu Nian was slightly taken aback. She glanced at the luxury car that was slowly driving in and seemed to understand something.

With its towering walls, security guards every few steps, and elegant environment, this place must be a medical and recuperative facility exclusively for celebrities and the wealthy.

Those who can come here for treatment are either rich or noble, or at least somewhat famous.

Therefore, nursing homes naturally need to provide these people with a space that offers sufficient privacy.

His attire likely led people to mistake him for a reporter looking for gossip.

So, following the contact information provided by Wen Yao, he dialed the doctor's number.

After a brief exchange, the guard's walkie-talkie crackled with notification that clearance had been granted.

"Excuse me, sir, please come with me."

The guard's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

After all, he knew very well that those qualified to enter this place were no ordinary people.

Xu Nian nodded slightly and followed the guards into the sealed gate.

The sanatorium is very large, and as far as the eye can see, there is an endless sea of ​​flowers.

After boarding the shuttle bus, Xu Nian arrived at the vicinity of a building that resembled a Gothic cathedral.

"Dr. Leng is on the second floor. I'll be waiting for you here. Please call me anytime if you need anything."

The guard parked the car and respectfully opened the car door for Xu Nian.

"Thanks."

Xu Nian felt somewhat uncomfortable with this excessive respect. He lowered his head and took two steps at a time as he entered the church.

With its towering dome and antique bricks and tiles, stepping inside feels like a spiritual uplift.

The soft natural light and solemn atmosphere brought a calming tranquility, even slowing my heartbeat.

"Hello, runaway groom."

A tall woman in a white coat looked at him with a smile.
