Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

She frowned less often and looked at people less unhappily. Occasionally, when she heard something interesting, she would smile happily.

This was really strange.

Zhuang Long had only read a dozen pages of Robert Merton's Financial Studies when Clarice returned.

Glancing at the book in Zhuang Long's hand, a hint of a smile flashed across Clarice's eyes. "What books do you usually like to read?"

Zhuang Long said a few books that he had a deep impression of. "My favorite books are Sky Blue Other Side and Screaming Haitang." Zhuang Long's hobby surprised Clarice.

Clarice had never heard of the second book he mentioned.

However, she did not want Zhuang Long to look down on her. Clarice pretended to be cold and nodded. After returning to her desk, she started to Google the book "The Screaming Haitang".

After reading the introduction, she had an idea in her heart. Then, she said to Zhuang Long, "I thought you would like to read some virology books."

Zhuang Long shook his head. "I might as well write it myself."

Clarice was speechless.

Was this the arrogance of a genius?

Clarice placed her hands on the desk and assumed a posture of wanting to talk. Seeing her like this, Zhuang Long sat up straight.

"Come on, let's talk," Clarice said.

Zhuang Long nodded.

Clarice tilted her head and looked at him, arguing with him about an old score. "I went to look for you two years ago. I even brought a gift before Christmas. In the end, you walked past me and treated me like I was invisible."

Zhuang Long had to seek justice for himself and explained, "He doesn't know you."

"Then." Clarice's expression turned serious and her tone was sharp. She asked him the most difficult question. She said, "Then, who am I dating? With you, a secondary personality that appears and disappears at times? Or with Zhuang Long?"

Zhuang Long fell silent.

His silence troubled Clarice.

"You don't even understand the feeling of not knowing me when I go to find you and you walk past me with a smile," Clarice said bitterly. "It's really uncomfortable."

Zhuang Long stared at Clarice and thought about it seriously for a moment before suggesting, "Forget it then. I was rash this time."

He was indeed too young. He did such a rash thing on an impulse.

He knew better than anyone that he and Clarice could not fall in love seriously. His personality was incomplete. Every time he slept, the damage was like a breakup for Clarice.

Seeing that Zhuang Long was about to leave, Clarice was furious.

"Kevin, close the door!"

Kevin quickly closed the office door.

Zhuang Long was locked in his office.

He wasn't angry. He just turned around and stood behind the door, looking at Clarice speechlessly.

Clarice walked over and stood in front of him.

The two people who were once about the same height finally had an advantage in height.

Zhuang Long was about 1.83 meters tall. Clarice, who was already 1.71 meters tall, had to wear high heels to talk to him at eye level.

Clarice blocked Zhuang Long against the door.

Zhuang Long looked down at the two of them, who were almost touching each other, with an unnatural expression.

Clarice saw his innocent look and chuckled softly. She sighed. "Who asked me to like you?"

Ever since he went to the beach to find shells for her because of her unintentional words, Clarice had an unusual feeling for him.

At that time, she did not know how to like him. She treated him as a friend and decided to protect him.

From the moment he protected her and acted out a show to cut ties with her and returned the photo to her, Clarice could not let go of this person.

Her fingers gently touched the scar on Zhuang Long's chest. Clarice suddenly kissed Zhuang Long on the chin. "Let's try to fall in love."

He had an unstable personality, and she had a family with perverted rules. Their relationship was destined to be ridiculous.

Zhuang Long's chin was itchy. He was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he said, "But I can't guarantee how long I can wake up, when I'll fall asleep, and if I'll get better. Will he mess around while I'm sleeping?"

"Don't worry about that," Clarice said proudly as she held his chin. "If he dares to mess around, I'll kill him."

Zhuang Long was speechless.

They were in love. To outsiders, Clarice appeared nonchalant.

Clarice was in love. The family was very nervous and worried that she would do something stupid. However, after observing her for a while, they realized that her attitude did not seem serious and were relieved.

As long as she did not marry this man and did not have children with him, the elders and heads of the Lawson family would not make things difficult for her.

That time, Zhuang Long remained awake for two months. The day he fell asleep was without warning.

Clarice sent him an email but did not receive a reply. She knew that Zhuang Long was asleep. During that period of time, she was especially irritable.

That Christmas, Clarice worked overtime for a month before she managed to squeeze out half a month of vacation.

She wanted to go to Cambridge City to see Zhuang Long.

No matter which personality he was, she would be satisfied as long as she looked at him in the dark.

She bought a 24-morning plane ticket and flew straight to Boston without sending Zhuang Long an email in advance. When Clarice arrived at Zhuang Long's apartment, it was night time. She sat in the car and saw a girl in Zhuang Long's apartment. The girl looked like a Chinese.

Clarice stood downstairs in his house, leaning against the window.

The snow was falling a little hard. Clarice did not move. Her fur jacket was covered in snow.

The window upstairs suddenly opened. The girl looked down at Clarice and asked, "Who are you looking for?" The girl's voice was a little cold. Clarice did not expect Zhuang Long to like this.

Clarice stared at the girl's face. Her heart ached and she was angry.

At this moment, Zhuang Long's face appeared beside the girl. He also looked down at Clarice and frowned when he saw that she was covered in snow.

"Hello, is the car broken?" Zhuang Long said. "I can call someone to repair your car. If you don't mind, you can ask my family to come over."

They were clearly a couple, but his attitude towards her was worse than a stranger.

Clarice clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "No need."

With that, she turned around and got into her car.

Zhuang Long and Ji Yinbing looked at each other.

That night, Zhuang Long did not sleep well. When he woke up in the latter half of the night, he was already a second personality. The first thing Zhuang Long had to do was find his phone and call Clarice.

The call did not go through, and the phone was switched off.
