Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Why do you ask?” Lu Zhiyuan’s expression remained unchanged. After months of interaction with Gu Ziyu, he knew that Gu Ziyu was different from ordinary children. He was excessively intelligent, and Lu Zhiyuan never treated Gu Ziyu as a child.

“Your daytime and nighttime selves are different.” Gu Ziyu looked at Lu Zhiyuan, who was casually drinking juice. “During the day, you’re like an eighteen-year-old youth, full of spirit and fearlessness. But now, you’re like a thirty-year-old man in power.”

Gu Ziyu smiled, and a touch of fearlessness appeared in his eyes, resembling his father. “Brother, human emotions aren’t that simple. Take me, for example. I want to play the role of a child, and I play it convincingly. But in the end, it’s just a role, not the real me. Didn’t you see through it at first glance?”

Lu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly and drank half a glass of juice. He looked at the apple juice in Gu Ziyu’s hand and asked, “Is apple juice tasty?”

“It’s tasty,” Gu Ziyu answered cautiously, sensing a certain danger and feeling that the man in front of him was equally powerful and dangerous.

“Your preferences are just like mine,” Lu Zhiyuan gazed deeply at him. “Does having a dual personality matter? Everyone wears masks in life. We adults all have secrets.”

“I don’t care if you have a dual personality,” Gu Ziyu’s voice turned cold. “But someone does care. Does my sister know?”

“Gu Ziyu, you’ve crossed the line,” Lu Zhiyuan raised his head and also saw Gu Ci standing at the doorway, smiling as she looked at them. “Zi Yu, what were you talking about with your brother?”

Gu Ziyu’s expression instantly changed. He went from being a serious little boy to a bright and innocent little milk bun. “Sister, we were discussing which brand of apple juice tastes better.”

Gu Ci didn’t know whether to believe him or not.

Instinctively, he wanted to protect his mother and didn’t want her to know the cruel truth.

Gu Ziyu held the apple juice, left the study, and closed the door. Gu Ci sensitively noticed his emotions and rubbed his head. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ziyu looked up at Gu Ci, recalling the several encounters with Lu Zhiyuan at night. He completely ignored his mother, and his other persona didn’t like his mother.

“Mom, don’t like Dad anymore,” Gu Ziyu said, afraid of her getting hurt. “When I grow up, I’ll find a better man for you. Our doctoral program has handsome, mature, and highly intelligent guys.”

He was afraid, and fear began to take hold.

If Mom knew that Dad had another persona and didn’t actually like her, she would be heartbroken and depressed. What if she wanted to die? He didn’t want his mother to be hurt. He wouldn’t forgive anyone who hurt his mother, including Dad!

Gu Ci squatted down, touching Gu Ziyu’s face. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Dad is too mean. I don’t like it,” Gu Ziyu said.

Gu Ci chuckled lightly. “When did you ever like him?”

Gu Ziyu gaped.

He was afraid Gu Ci would become suspicious, so he didn’t dwell on the matter. Gu Ci had a pile of homework to do and was busy writing it on the plane. Gu Ziyu pulled Li Jiang to the side and calmly asked, “Li Jiang, does he have a dual personality?”

Li Jiang didn’t know how to answer.

Cold sweat trickled down his back, and he blurted out, “Impossible, that’s not a thing.”

Gu Ziyu leaned back in the chair, resembling a decadent young master, a little yandere, but his movements were gentle. “Think carefully before you answer, Li Jiang.”

Li Jiang’s back shivered. “Young Master, calm down. We’re in the sky. Do we really need to go down together?”

“What are you talking about?” Gu Ziyu’s smile held a hint of sinister charm. “I’m still a baby. How could a baby engage in such things like violence?”

Li Jiang thought to himself, Young Master, the look in your eyes when you want to kill someone is undeniable. Take a look in the mirror.

Gu Ziyu was very angry. Li Jiang had been by his side for many years in the previous life and never mentioned that Lu Zhiyuan had a dual personality. Why? Was it because he hadn’t seen Dad, so he thought it wasn’t important?

“Gu Ziyu, come in!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice came from the study. To save Li Jiang, Gu Ziyu sarcastically looked at him, “You’re truly loyal.”

Gu Ziyu entered the study and closed the door. Li Jiang stood smartly by the door, guarding it.

“As you suspected, I have a dual personality,” Lu Zhiyuan said calmly, clasping his hands in front of his waist and looking at him. “Now that you know, what are you going to do about it?”

Gu Ziyu smiled sweetly and tenderly. “Brother, how did you know that our eating habits are similar?”

“I have daytime memories,” Lu Zhiyuan said casually. “You’re a very intelligent child. At the age of six, you possess the intelligence and speech of an adult. Since you’re close to Gu Ci, you should advise her not to worry about me.”

Gu Ziyu’s smile was like a mask. “My sister is beautiful and grew up with you as childhood friends. It’s your honor that she likes you. You should know your place a bit more.”

“Your confidence is just as arrogant as hers.” Lu Zhiyuan mocked. “I’ve said enough. Little milk bun, think it over carefully.”

“How can there be memories if it’s a dual personality?” Gu Ziyu chuckled softly. “Brother, I’m a seasoned mental patient. I have the right to speak, and what you have isn’t a dual personality.”

Gu Ziyu was born with a mental disorder and had been ill for a long time. Ji Chi tried to save him, and he tried to save himself. After Gu Ci’s death, he became disillusioned and lost any attachment to the world, becoming more and more sinister.

Ji Chi had taken him to see numerous psychologists, all trying to analyze what illness he had.

“It’s not important.” Lu Zhiyuan had no intention of discussing mental illness with him. “I am the real Lu Zhiyuan. The one you all love… is an illusion. Don’t get trapped deeper and deeper. Eventually, you’ll lose it.”

Gu Ziyu’s smile gradually faded away, replaced by a gloominess that pervaded his eyes. Gu Ziyu said, “I don’t care if you have a dual personality or any other illness, or… if you’re a normal person. But if you hurt my sister, I won’t let you off.”

He walked to the door before pausing as if he remembered something and turned back with a smile. The malice filled his peach blossom eyes, resembling his own. “Brother, don’t you think… we’re quite similar?”

Lu Zhiyuan looked at him.

This attitude was both provocation and a declaration of war!

After Gu Ziyu left, Lu Zhiyuan’s face darkened slightly. Li Jiang entered and took away his cup. Lu Zhiyuan asked, “Li Jiang, do Gu Ziyu and I look alike?”

“No!” Li Jiang felt that Gu Ziyu resembled Gu Ci in appearance. “But your temperaments are really similar.”

“Leave!”

“Yes!” Li Jiang couldn’t figure out the Third Master’s thoughts. To be honest, it was easy to understand the Third Young Master. Black was black, white was white. He scolded when he was angry and laughed when he was happy. His thoughts were easy to grasp. But the same couldn’t be said for the Third Master; he hid his emotions and thoughts too deeply.

Gu Ci was unaware of the conflicts between father and son as she focused on her homework. She was engrossed in her work, and there was a medical paper that needed to be translated and recorded. Gu Ziyu saw her busyness and said, “Mom, I can do your homework for you.”

“All…” Gu Ci’s emotions were quite complex. She thought of parents on the internet who called emergency services over helping their children with homework, or threatened to jump off buildings. She truly felt fortunate..
