Chapter 8.4 The Naturalness of the “Lover-Jun Type” Girlfriend
The Naturalness of the “Lover-Jun Type” Girlfriend:
She sank, sinking into the dark abyss.
The hole in the ice layer began to repair, eventually returning to its original state and separating the two sides.
Actually, if possible, it would be great if we could appear on the surface together… However, that’s impossible. One of us must remain on the other side to maintain balance, otherwise this place will collapse.
Well then, I should probably leave soon…
I feel myself growing.
Continuously growing, large enough for me to touch that light.
It’s not that my body is growing, but my consciousness is expanding. To describe it, it’s like I’m dissipating into this space, filling it with myself, which is why I feel like I’m growing.
The other me, she came here by dreaming and swapped with me.
Therefore, I only need to complete the process of ‘waking up’ that she left unfinished to go outside.
When I felt that I could no longer grow and touched the husk, I knew there was only one thing I had to do.
To wake up, I first need to ‘open my eyes.’
The light I had been longing for shone into my eye sockets, feeling a little dazzling.
My body still felt sluggish, so I closed my palms and then opened my fingers one by one, gradually regaining sensation in my body.
“You’re awake, Young Miss.”
“Good morning, Shirley.”
I turned my head and smiled at Shirley, then pushed up my upper body and sat up.
Shirley’s eyes widened slightly, and she covered her mouth with her hand, looking a bit surprised.
She saw it right away, as expected of Shirley.
A woman in a white coat was sitting by the bed. She was a psychiatrist named Mengyu He, and today’s appointment was to have this doctor diagnose our situation.
Then she said she wanted to meet the other personality, which is me, so she swapped with me directly.
“Ah, Dr. He, thank you for coming to diagnose me.”
“…You are Ji Lianbing’s other personality?”
Dr. He got straight to the point, asking about my identity without much preamble.
Hehe, she’s really in a hurry. Her directness is somewhat similar to Jun Cheng…
I nodded and replied with a smile.

“Yes, I am the other personality.”
Dr. He narrowed her eyes and stared at my face for a long time, while I tilted my head slightly and smiled at her.
She might be judging if I was acting, because although my inner self had changed, my outward appearance hadn’t.
I’m not like Enoshima Junko, whose appearance changes with her personality.
“If you have any questions, you can say them directly. Staring at me like this makes me shy.”
“…I don’t know you very well, but I can clearly feel that you are very different from before. Unless your acting skills are so superb that you can even fool me… that shouldn’t be possible.”
“I told you before, I have no reason to lie to you. The Young Miss does indeed have a dual personality.”
It was Shirley who invited Dr. He for the diagnosis this time. She seemed to hope that I could reunite with the main personality and become a complete individual.
Since I couldn’t refuse Shirley, and the doctor had already come to the door, I had no choice but to see her…
As a result, the other me took this opportunity to swap with me directly.
“Well, this time I was invited by the Young Miss of Ji Corporation for a diagnosis, and I was quite surprised. After all, I’m a psychiatrist, and the symptom to be diagnosed isn’t depression or phobias, but a dissociative identity disorder as tricky as amnesia. To be frank, at first I thought it was a prank by a rich young lady who had nothing better to do.”
“Hehe, that’s usually what people would think.”
In reality, only Shirley and Jun Cheng know about my existence; even the maids serving me haven’t noticed.
It’s because she has always been in control. Even now, if she wanted to, I could be pulled back into the abyss.
“So, what is your name?”
“Hm? My name is Ji Lianbing. Hehe, I’m not so confused as to forget my own name.”
“No, as another personality, don’t you have your own name?”
“Call me Ruansui.”
“Ruansui? Soft ‘ruan’? …It’s quite a fitting name. Did you choose it yourself? Or did the other you choose it for you?”
“No, neither. Someone else gave it to me.”
Although it’s just a nickname, it was Jun Cheng who gave me the name.
Hehe~ I really like this name.
“…So you know my name, which means your memories are shared, is that right?”
“Yes, but I can only view those memories, I don’t have a real sense of them. After all, those aren’t things I ‘experienced’…”
So even though I can see them, I still long to come outside…
Now that I finally have such a good opportunity, I must seize it!
Ah~ When will this diagnosis end?
I want to go see Jun Cheng soon.
“I didn’t expect the memories to actually be shared… This is an extremely special situation. Generally, patients with dual personalities have main and split personalities that are independent of each other. They don’t even know about each other’s existence, and their memories are fragmented… But you share memories…”
It is indeed a very special situation.
Although I don’t remember it very clearly, at first I was just a ‘thought’ belonging to her. Then, in the moment she was about to strangle Jun Cheng, I completely erupted and was separated from her… No, actually, at first she wanted me to ‘die in the womb.’
But in the end, I broke through the shell, was ‘born from the womb,’ and in a new form, full of love for Jun Cheng, I was born.
Completely opposite to her, who was filled with a love for death, I was born as the other side of Ji Lianbing, filled with the joy of life.
We are the positive and negative sides of the same person. If you were to say it, we are in a ‘back-to-back’ relationship, not a ‘face-to-face’ one.
So we will never shake hands…
Well, of course, I will have hope~ Hehe, if she, with a flushed face and reluctance, extends her hand to me, I will of course shake her hand without hesitation~
“Let me say in advance, Miss Ji, your situation is very tricky. I have treated patients with multiple personalities before, mostly using hypnosis or other methods to help patients recall missing memories, thus merging the two split personalities. But your situation… I can’t guarantee if you can be merged into one.”
“Is that so? Hehehe, that’s fine too~”
“Oh my, it’s because Shirley invited you that I came to see you, hehe.”
Dr. He seems like a smart person. Having said this much, she should understand what I mean.
Merging is impossible.
Even if I were to propose it, she would definitely refuse.
After all, she would definitely say with disgust, “Accept you? Don’t be ridiculous. Why would I accept a disgusting guy who disgusts me?”
“Then it seems my visit was a waste of time… Well, but the one who commissioned this is the maid here, so I must fulfill my responsibility as a doctor. I will visit every Saturday from now on. I hope you will cooperate then.”
“No problem. Actually, I really hope she can accept me… Unfortunately, she’s not willing, hehehe.”
“Is… the main personality resisting the merger? I understand. Can you let her return now?”
“No, she said she won’t come out for a while.”
“Alright… Then, I’ll take my leave for now. I hope that next time I come, you can tell me the reason why she doesn’t accept you.”
After the diagnosis, Dr. He was escorted away by other maids.
I got out of bed and took off my clothes. At this moment, Shirley called my name by my side.
“Young Miss.”
“I’m going to see him.”
“Young Miss?”
“Shirley, tell me, where is he? I want to see him!”
“Young Master Jun Cheng is at Tianfu Plaza, talking with Kaoru Tsukiyose…”
Now, immediately, I’m going to see him.
I can’t hold back this feeling any longer.
I changed into the dress I wore on our first date and ran out.
I didn’t take a car, I ran.
For some reason, I could sense where Jun Cheng was, without looking at a map, I knew his location.
Along the way, I smelled a familiar scent.
Ah, I didn’t expect to meet the person I most wanted to see right after coming out?
I know, he’s nearby.
I looked around the overpass, searching for his figure.
However, Jun Cheng wasn’t here, but I could smell him…
Huh.
book.SFA
It’s not Jun Cheng.
It’s Jun Cheng’s sister.
SF Light Novel
The lively one of the two sisters, the one with a ponytail.
Her name is An Keling.
From this side of the bridge, I could see she seemed to be talking to someone.
I immediately asked Shirley, who was following me.
“Shirley, what are they talking about? Summarize it within thirty characters.”
“Young Master Jun Cheng’s sister is asking her friend for help to get medicine that can treat Young Master Jun Cheng.”
“Huh~ Doesn’t she know Jun Cheng has been discharged?”
“Young Master Jun Cheng decided to be discharged on his own and didn’t inform anyone in advance.”
“…I see. Then Shirley, let’s go back.”
“You’ve come this far, aren’t you going to see Young Master Jun Cheng?”
“Well, I’ll endure it today.”
…Although it’s a bit reluctant.
But today, I’ll let Jun Cheng have his sister. He must want to reunite with his family after being discharged, right?
As long as I endure today, I can go see Jun Cheng tomorrow! Hehe.
Thinking this, just as I was about to turn and leave, I suddenly smelled a strange odor.
A pungent smell from… behind me.
Turning around, I saw a tall and thin man.
He was dressed in a suit, wearing glasses, and had a rather good-looking face.
However, a strong smell of blood emanated from him.
That man was looking at Younger Sister Keling?
His fanatical gaze was like how the other me looked at a corpse.
Instantly, I understood. The man in front of me was the same as the other me; both were infatuated with the wrong person.
Did Younger Sister Keling become his target?
No, I can’t let him succeed.
If Younger Sister Keling dies, Jun Cheng will surely be heartbroken… I don’t want to see Jun Cheng cry.
Then, let’s just get rid of him.
