Arc 5: The Seventh Sanatorium
Chapter 122

Xu Ziyue hadn’t had the chance to recover from his shock or be able to formulate a proper excuse to explain why he was here when he saw the Shen Ci before him stride over to him and pull him into his embrace.

Xu Ziyue’s eyes opened wide. His body was firmly held by Shen Ci and he couldn’t move at all.

“Shen Ci……?” Xu Ziyue hesitantly called out.

Shen Ci who was holding Xu Ziyue with his eyes closed finally returned to his senses. He loosened his grip around Xu Ziyue and slowly took a step back.

“Sorry, must’ve scared you.”

Not only the hug, but everything here. In his opinion, these would scare Xu Ziyue who was usually quite timid.

Xu Ziyue looked at Shen Ci. The look in Shen Ci’s eyes felt very familiar but for a moment he couldn’t put a finger to it.

But what he could be certain about was that this person was not the Shen Ci who does psychological counselling for him upstairs.

The Doctor Shen Ci from the thirteenth floor, regardless of temperament or behaviour, was very similar to that of Austin’s. The one in front of him right now however, although he looked no different from Shen Ci, his eyes were a little colder. But at this very moment, the corners of this Shen Ci’s lips were slightly raised, and he looked somewhat gentler.

Austin’s smile would usually make people unconsciously feel relaxed and comfortable which would then narrow down the distance between people. This was of course a façade of his because he really wasn’t that gentle or kind. He just liked to disguise himself and pretend to be someone like that.

But the Shen Ci in front of him….Even while smiling, it appeared restrained. While being looked at by him…..Xu Ziyue’s mind was filled with those deep, dark eyes of his.

In his memory, there was another person who had eyes like this.

Xu Ziyue opened his mouth and looked at the Shen Ci before him in daze, “Sun……Sun Mo?”

‘Shen Ci’s’ pupils constricted slightly. He seemed to be surprised that he was recognised so easily. You should know that his appearance and voice is completely different right now.

Not to mention, his personality had also changed a little due to various reason.

He lowered his eyes and smiled gently, “I’m called Shen Ci here.” He didn’t deny his past, but he also didn’t confirm it.

Xu Ziyue was taken aback. His eyes wandered up towards the ceiling.

In fact, he was thinking about the Shen Ci on the thirteenth floor.

Compared to the Shen Ci who always wore casual clothes upstairs, the one standing before him looked more like a doctor because he wore a doctor’s white coat.

But that wasn’t the main issue. The main issue here was that the Shen Ci before him……has all of Sun Mo’s memories?

“You…how……I…..that…..” Not knowing where to start explaining himself, Xu Ziyue could only stutter.

And his task was to capture an NPC…..What should he doing about this current situation?

Xu Ziyue’s mind was a complete mess.

“This isn’t a good place to talk. I’ll take you somewhere else.” Sun Mo said this, grabbed Xu Ziyue’s hand and dragged Xu Ziyue in the direction Sun Mo had come from.

Xu Ziyue looked back at the direction he came from and then at the surrounding cylindrical containers around him before obediently following Shen Ci.

He had no idea what he should do right now because he was feeling too overwhelmed. He also still wasn’t clear about the relationship between the two Shen Ci’s.

He even didn’t know whether he should call the person in front of him Shen Ci or Sun Mo.

If he were to say that he was like Sun Mo, he was indeed similar but there were also some areas that were a little different because the Sun Mo Xu Ziyue had interacted with was softer and younger.

He wasn’t as forceful as the one before him.

The one before him said that he was going to take him to another place and dragged him away without waiting for Xu Ziyue’s response.

Of course, Xu Ziyue could also take it as him being very happy or something.

But the feeling he gave Xu Ziyue couldn’t be wrong. Although there were some differences, Xu Ziyue could intuitively tell that he wouldn’t hurt him, so he didn’t resist.

This Sun Mo led him to an elevator on the other end and they then went up to the thirteenth floor.

Xu Ziyue clearly saw him press the button for the thirteenth floor.

But here in the sanatorium, only the treatment area had a thirteen-story building. The tallest building in the residential area was only seven floors.

Xu Ziyue calculated the distance between the elevators on both ends and felt that he should’ve walked out of the building in the treatment area. But the current situation was…..he was on his way back up to the thirteenth floor.

Unless….he was no longer in the sanatorium.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Ziyue became to feel nervous.

In the elevator, he would glance at Shen Ci from time to time. After Shen Ci looked back at him, Xu Ziyue changed to looking at Shen Ci’s reflection instead.

This time, it also took some time for the elevator to move from the underground floor to the first floor.

Shen Ci noticed Xu Ziyue’s small actions and looked down at him with a smile, “You’re still like this. Nothing has changed.”

“Me? What about me?”

Xu Ziyue was a little confused.

Shen Ci said, “Liking attractive faces.”

“Ah….that….hehe……It has only been a few months after all.” Xu Ziyue let out a short laugh and for some reason felt a little guilty.

Shen Ci turned his head to examine Xu Ziyue closer. This continued until Xu Ziyue began to feel a little nervous for reasons unknown.

“For you……It was probably only a few months.” Shen Ci stared at Xu Ziyue as he said this.

It was only a few months so nothing much had changed on Xu Ziyue’s end. Shen Ci’s words however seemed to imply something more than that.

Xu Ziyue asked, “What about you? How long did it take for you to be here?”

He shook his head, “I don’t remember.”

The elevator just happened to stop on the thirteenth floor.

Compared to the thirteenth floor on the other end, the corridors here looked exactly the same so, for now, Xu Ziyue hadn’t noticed anything different.

But when the reached the end of the corridor and Shen Ci opened the door, the room inside wasn’t the counselling room.

It was a bedroom used for rest.

It was just that this bedroom was too clean and plain. Except for the daily necessities, there was nothing else.

“Come in.”

Shen Ci changed his shoes at the door and Xu Ziyue followed suit.

“Do you have a twin brother or something?” Xu Ziyue tried his best not to ask too straightforwardly.

But this kind of question wasn’t something one would normally ask.

So when Shen Ci heard this, he knew what Xu Ziyue was trying to ask.

“That’s true……You did come from over there after all so you must’ve already met him.” Shen Ci placed a glass of water on the bedside table and directed Xu Ziyue to sit on the bed.

There was no living room here; no sofa or anything.

There was only the bed for Xu Ziyue to sit on.

Xu Ziyue sat down on the bed and waited for him to answer.

“But before talking about him….” Shen Ci stood beside Xu Ziyue, raised a leg and kneeled on the side of the bed, shrouding Xu Ziyue with his figure, “I have something to check.”

Xu Ziyue leaned back and looked up at Sun Mo standing above him ——- or to be more correct, the second Shen Ci. He nervously swallowed, “Wh….what?”

Shen Ci leaned down, raised his hand to pinch Xu Ziyue’s chin and then gently rubbed Xu Ziyue’s chin with his thumb, “Did he kiss you?”

“Or…..did you let him touch you?”
