Chapter 144 It's Getting Strange
"I'm not happy."

Li Xinxi and Chen Mu sat down on the sofa in the living room and chatted until Xiaosusu was sent to the guest room to be packed and rested.

"It's really hard to coax a child..." Chen Mu's soft sigh was what responded to Li Xinxi.

"Huh? Dog, did you hear me!" Li Xinxi's voice became a little louder unconsciously.

"Hush..." After hearing the loud snoring coming from the uncle's room, Chen Mu made a silent gesture to the girl beside him.

"Miss, you can't sleep, but the old and the young guys want to sleep, so they have to be quiet."

"Hmm..." Li Xinxi moved her little toe twice, then pursed her mouth again in aggrieved way: "I'm not happy."

"Why are you unhappy again? Do you want to watch something late at night together? There are some pretty girls..." Chen Mu wrapped the quilt on the sofa.

"What should I watch in the middle of the night? Good-looking young lady, uh..." Li Xinxi stared at Chen Mu for a while, and then replied shyly.

"Okay, but I can only watch it for a while, I'm afraid you will mess around."

"Don't worry, it's only for a short time, this program is very serious."

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he turned the remote control to mute, and decisively shifted the channel to the late-night weather forecast.

On the TV screen, the sweet-looking host is slowly introducing the weather trend for the next few days.

"Good evening, audience friends. Welcome to pay attention to the weather. Today is the [-]st of the fourth lunar month. The next three days will still be cloudy. The wind is not strong and the sun is just right, suitable for outdoor activities."

"This... This is what you said you should watch late at night, pretty lady?" Li Xinxi puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"Otherwise? What else could it be..." Chen Mu curled his lips in response, and Chen Mu collapsed on the sofa into the shape of Ge You.

The dog-headed boy's eyes still stayed on the host's sweet cheeks, and his tone of voice drifted a little inadvertently: "I said Miss, haven't you noticed that you have been weird recently?"

"Strange? What...why is it strange?" The girl in the yellow skirt stammered in response.

"Except for being cute, everything is weird." Chen Mu glanced at Li Xinxi's white and tender feet huddled on the sofa with only a few round toes exposed from the corner of her eye.

"In the past, you didn't think too much about this kind of thing. Thinking about it carefully, after my sister disappeared, you seem to have some changes, Miss."

"In the first two weeks, your mood was even more unstable. Sometimes you looked like a little squirrel stuck in a computer, and sometimes you were as coquettish as..."

In the end, Chen Mu still didn't say the adjective in the second half of the sentence, and turned to speak a little more.

"Xixi, I have a question for you. I went to check the information. In the process of the sub-personality replacing the main personality, many unforeseen situations will occur. In your case, do you simply absorb memory fragments or fuse part of the personality?"

"Well", upon hearing Chen Mu's abrupt words, Li Xinxi stopped the abnormal movement of her toes, and stared at the serious expression on Chen Mu's face beside her for a long time.

After a long silence, Li Xinxi took off her glasses and quietly placed them on the coffee table in front of her, giving the answer in a very soft voice: "None."

"At first, I thought I was simply absorbing my sister's memory fragments, so I absorbed too much strange knowledge recently, and I couldn't control my emotions in the past two weeks."

"But it's only after a few days that I gradually realized that my sister may not be as simple as being replaced. I vaguely feel that she should have independently constructed a dream with a barrier in her mind."

"A dream with a barrier?" Chen Mu gently turned off the TV screen, and moved his gaze to the girl in the yellow skirt beside him.

"Gouzi, my sister and I have long been out of the scope of human beings in a common sense. Even things like sleeping can be omitted. It's actually not too strange for such a thing to happen."

"Hmm..." Chen Mu gently grabbed Li Xinxi's fidgeting little hand, "It's okay, Xixi, I believe what you said, after all, my world view has long been confused by you two. It crumbled to pieces."

"Hehehe—" The distress on Li Xinxi's face subsided a little: "I can only perceive that barrier when I'm in a daze, and it's almost impossible to break through."

"Strictly speaking, my sister shouldn't have disappeared directly, but... just lived in the dream I constructed, but..." Li Xinxi's tone was slightly hesitant.

"The initial fusion of memories in these two weeks made me vaguely feel that as the process of absorbing the memory fragments deepened, the barrier would loosen a little bit."

"Gouzi, this is a process that I cannot control. I am afraid of the day when the barrier is breached, sister..."

"Afraid that my sister will really disappear by then?" Chen Mu rubbed Li Xinxi's head with a little pity.

Today's little squirrel is surprisingly well-behaved: "Well..."

"But this is my sister's own choice. Even if my sister wakes up from her dream, she should not compete with you for the dominance of her personality."

"Compete? This word is very similar to the tone of our speech." Li Xinxi replied softly: "But in this matter, my sister has never competed with me."

"Gouzi, when I was in Red Star, my sister dominated my body most of the time, and I was just... a helpless bystander."

Li Xinxi immediately retracted her exposed little toes, and buried her little head deeply in her knees.

"Silly dog, actually these are not the things I am most afraid of now, what I am most afraid of is..." Li Xinxi leaned on Chen Mu's shoulder beside her.

"Because of memory fusion, my personality may change inadvertently in a little bit, and this process will become faster and faster in the future."

"Even without my sister's intervention, I may gradually become a completely different person from the present because I have absorbed too many memory fragments."

"For example..." Li Xinxi raised her head slightly, only two lines of tears hanging on her cheeks were left to face Chen Mu: "I have begun to lose control of my search for all kinds of strange knowledge in the past two weeks."

"I... gradually became strange."

"However, even an ordinary girl will understand this kind of thing because of puberty at this restless age."

Chen Mu patted Li Xinxi on the shoulder comfortingly. "Xixi, some things may be difficult to talk about, but if you keep them in your heart for too long, you will feel uncomfortable. It is best to say them out."

"Well, actually this... this explanation doesn't work for me." Li Xinxi took the tissue that Chen Mu handed over, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes very naturally, and then cast her gaze on Chen Mu's trampled red face. On the instep of Tongtong.

"Gouzi, my growth rate may be much faster than normal people, so...you have to cheer up quickly."

"Otherwise..." At this point, Li Xinxi stole a glance at Chen Mu's eyes that had just opened, and when she spoke again, her tone was as thin as a mosquito's.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day I will really lose control of myself. When that time comes, you..." At the end of the sentence, the girl in yellow skirt breathed out softly in Chen Mu's ear, unconsciously in her bright eyes. It took on a somewhat coquettish look.

"Your little frame won't take it—"
