Chapter 61

I think its fine.

In the ward, when Chen Hao asked, Lin Shiheng smiled as he picked up the teacup, pulled it to his lips, and gently took a sip of it. The doctor said that my symptoms havent been alleviated, but they have increased much more, despite my mood always being stable. Its probably because I dont reject myself as being someone else.

The thought of split personalities crossed Chen Haos mind. Shiheng, what are you thinking? How can one person becoming another person be a good thing?

Why not?

Lin Shiheng slightly looked up, his pair of narrow eyes looking at Chen Hao. When he looked at people like this before, it would appear somewhat intimidating. Now, it looked gentle.

Even when he spoke, he always spoke in an unhurried tone, My memory is still intact, so I will still be the same me.

Just, although it may be strange to say so, Yi Qing is indeed better than me, no matter from which aspect.

Chen Hao gawked at this brother in front of him. Instead of dissuading further, he himself felt persuaded back by his brother, and even a feeling of Shiheng is right, it seems that this was absolutely true appeared in his heart.

But, but You are yourself. Yi Qing is just a character written by the screenwriter

But he is well written, isnt he?

Lin Shiheng put down his cup of tea, the corners of his lips always remained in a polite smile. Even though he wore modern clothes, with his hair short, when he was sitting upright, Chen Hao almost thought he was looking at an ancient nobleman.

In the past, would you one day imagine that I would get up at 6 and then go for a 2-hour run every morning?

Chen Hao was at a loss, How can anyone do that?

Even if their jobs required them to be in decent shape, getting up at 6 for a run or something would be an absolute nightmare.

Can you imagine that I now cook and make breakfast for myself?

I remember you tried cooking once 3 years ago, and you ended up destroying the kitchen of our rented apartment. We were evicted together by our landlord in the middle of the night and became homeless.

Hmm. Lin Shiheng responded with a cool smile. My ability to blow up the kitchen hasnt faded, but now its just a matter of cooking up some congee. Its a pity that I cant cook with my own hands, but its okay. A gentleman stays clear of the kitchen.

Chen Haos mouth twitched. No matter how satisfied his brother looked with the current situation, he was still very unwilling to cooperate with him. You say gentlemen stay clear of the kitchen, but you still cook porridge

The gentleman staying far from the kitchen is Menciuss praise for Prince Qi Xuans inability to take the life of a living creature, not to say that a gentleman doesnt cook at all. I just cooked porridge, what does it matter to be far away from the kitchen?

(TNote: a nobleman stays clear of the kitchen (idiom) = fig. a nobleman who has seen a living animal cannot bear to see it die, hence he keeps away from the kitchen. Mencius/Meng zi= (c. 372-c. 289 BC), Confucian philosopher second only to Confucius.)

Chen Hao was speechless again. Not only were the corners of his eyes twitching, but the corners of his lips were twitching up too.

Where did you read this from? Dont tell me you also dreamt this up.

Ah, I didnt.

Lin Shiheng then walked over to pick up the books on the bedside table and patted them as he handed them to Chen Hao.

This is Mencius. I just finished reading it. I saw the phrase from here. You can take it if you want. Theres a lot of wisdom to be learned in it, and after reading it, I did figure out a lot more about what happened in the past.

Chen Haos eyes were turning dull as he accepted the book.

He turned a couple of pages and fell into a trance.

Brother This seems to be in traditional Chinese characters, and its also written in a literary style

It is an ancient book after all. Of course, you have to read it in the original version to get the feeling. Would you rather have the vernacular version instead? I dont have it here right now, but there are many people interested in Mencius around this area that I found in a group I joined. Ill buy you a vernacular version, or you can read this one first and ask me if you dont understand anything.

No, no, no!!

Chen Hao waved his hand again and again as he stuffed the book back into Lin Shihengs arms. Dont you know that my liberal arts have always been bad? Memorizing lines is distracting enough, just spare me!

Lin Shiheng smiled good-naturedly and collected the book dearly, returning it in the drawer.

Chen Hao looked at his appearance of being more intimate with the books than his own mother and felt chills. Are you sure youre really all right? In the past, you would rather do pull-ups than read books.

Before, I kept thinking reading was meaningless. Recently, for treatment, I had to cut myself off from the Internet. Then, reading books certainly was a different feeling.

Lin Shiheng put away his book and sat back with a gentle smile on his face. Chen Hao, who was smiling, was stunned.

Are you really my brother? Some ancient person didnt transmigrate into you right?!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The handsome man sitting across the table looked upwards slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly, Children should not talk about unusual forces.

If Lin Shiheng had done this before, he would have slapped him on the back of his head, but now, when faced with such a mentally unbalanced Lin, who thought he was Yi Qing, Chen Hao endured it by relying on his brotherhood.

After waiting until Lin Shiheng was satisfied, he gently coughs a little, trying to make his expression normal.

Now, apart from getting up and running in the morning, cooking by yourself, and learning to play the guzheng, what else do you do differently?

Under the sun, the man who looked more and more handsome frowned slightly as he gently shook his head.

Chen Hao was relieved.

Not bad This brother of his might still be saved!

However, to be on the safe side, he asked again, The ones that Yi Qing knows, such as swordplay, chess, and medicine You dont know how to do it, do you?

Lin Shiheng shook his head and looked at Chen Hao gratefully as he let out a sigh of relief.

You reminded me. I am Yi Qing, how can I not know this?

Chen Haos smile gradually stiffened. Wait, what?

It was getting pretty boring just practicing guzheng every day recently. So, Ill study what you said just now.

Chen Hao froze.

It doesnt matter, it doesnt matter

He tried to hypnotize himself. Even if his brothers brain was abnormal, it was his best friend.

By the way, I recently ran for 2 hours every morning, feeling energetic. Didnt you always feel weak before? Why dont we start doing this together?

Chen Hao remained silent.

You go away! Youre not my brother

Just when he was in a trance, Lin Shiheng picked up his mobile phone and sat behind him, snapping a photo.

Now that Ive recovered, its better to let the fans know. Its not good to keep them worried.

Chen Hao didnt understand his action. You are going to tell your fans right? Take a picture of yourself then. What are you doing taking my picture?

I want you to help me repost ah

When ancient person Lin was acting like a noble, he sat upright in the most formal sitting posture. His slender fingertips were skilled at pointing at the screen.

The assistant said that I havent appeared for too long, so my fans are probably mostly zombie fans. It just so happens that you are here now, so help me with the mood, will you.

(TNote: zombie fans/ zombie followers = inactive accounts.)

Although this wasnt polite at all, at least it wasnt so immortal-like and unlike a normal person. Chen Hao was nagging a bit but didnt feel the rudeness of the mood in his mouth. He picked up his mobile phone to forward a repost for him.

Yet, as soon as he opened the photo, he saw that his own face was bad.

Although the features are still handsome, his big pancake face is enough to make him break.

Looking at Lin Shiheng behind him in the picture, it was clear that he planned to have himself at the very back, his face small and cheerful.

In a word, the contrast was tragic.

This familiar way of getting a head start on his brother

What a familiar prank.

Chen Hao rose up and gave his friend a thump on the back of his head with a slap.

How the hell did you become Yi Qing, this brat!!

He was irritable on the surface but completely relaxed in his heart.

The sea can wither, the stone can rot, but Lin Shihengs mischief would never change.

Even if he becomes Yi Qing and changes his personality

That was still his brother!
