The strategy was almost successful!

Liao Ruming looked at Cheng Ran in astonishment.

He never thought that Cheng Ran would have such an idea.

Does every time he looks at Cheng Ran make Cheng Ran think that he is looking at someone else through Cheng Ran?

But Liao Ruming reflected on himself - he really did this.

When he sees Cheng Ran, he will unconsciously see through Cheng Ran's figure and think of Ji Zhihuai and Fu Pingli.It was like this every time, and he couldn't help but compare these three men who were essentially the same person.

...Maybe when he did this, Cheng Ran saw the clue.

Maybe it's just a slight trance in the eyes, maybe it's just a subconscious movement when hugging, maybe it's just subconsciously giving Cheng Ran a dish that he doesn't like when eating...

In any case, Cheng Ran found out.

And this made Liao Ruming speechless.

How does he explain it?How does he explain that they are actually one person?Cheng Ran thinks that Liao Ruming regards him as a stand-in, which is completely ridiculous and nonsense... But how can Liao Ruming convince Cheng Ran of this?

The fact is that when Liao Ruming got along with Cheng Ran, he was more or less dissociated, and he did think of things that happened in the previous two worlds from time to time, and he did compare Cheng Ran with Ji Zhihuai and Fu Pingli.

...and Cheng Ran found out, and misunderstood.

Liao Ruming was silent, frowning deeply.

He felt that this matter was not easy to solve, and it was somewhat difficult.

And amidst his silence, Cheng Ran was still muttering: "You have never had a susceptible period...you are an alpha. I checked, and only if you have had a partner before, but the partner is no longer alive, a The normal alpha will lose the susceptibility period.

"...and you're normal."

When he said this, Liao Ruming saw Cheng Ran's cheeks flushed slightly.

He must have recalled some of their intimate moments, which convinced him that Liao Ruming was a normal alpha who "should" have a susceptible period.

But in the three years since Liao Ruming came to the Cheng family, he never left, and never had to deal with his susceptibility period.He has no susceptibility period.

The only possibility is that he is widowed.

So this further deepened Cheng Ran's misunderstanding.

Cheng Ran asked cautiously: "He... what kind of person is he?"

Liao Ruming was silent for a moment.

He felt like a total failure.Such a tragic failure, before Cheng Ran expressed his thoughts, he was completely unaware of this problem - he was completely unaware that his performance was the perfect proof for Cheng Ran.

If Liao Ruming didn't know what his situation was, then in terms of his own performance, he would also think that he seemed to use Cheng Ran as a stand-in to store his thoughts about his dead partner.

You see, his detached performance, his hot and cold attitude, his susceptibility period of mysterious disappearance...all are reasonable explanations and confirmations of Cheng Ran's thoughts.

...but that's not the case!

But Liao Ruming couldn't explain.He didn't even know how to explain it.

He explained that he is a human being from the first universe, and that the second universe has become a playground for humans in the first universe, and if there were no special fluctuations in Ji Zhihuai's body, then Liao Ruming would most likely enjoy it with all his heart. Someone else's love affair?

This is really something that Liao Ruming is even more ashamed to say.

Therefore, Liao Ruming felt that he had failed like never before.He's such a loser when it comes to dating.

Liao Ruming is self-willed and self-centered. He never thinks it is a strange thing for him to lose his susceptibility period, but for Cheng Ran, it may lead to countless possibilities that make him panic.

And Liao Ruming never thought that in the eyes of Cheng Ran, who has not remembered his previous memory and is still the alpha of this world, the situation of him losing his susceptibility period is so complicated.

Liao Ruming never considered the possible thoughts of Process Ran.

This made Liao Ruming at this moment full of depression and self-deprecating emotions and aura.

This gloomy aura was transmitted to Cheng Ran through his spiritual power, and it further deepened Cheng Ran's trust in that idea.

But soon, Liao Ruming restrained his mental strength.

He stared at Cheng Ran, and then said, "He is exactly the opposite of your personality."

Cheng Ran raised his head in astonishment, looked at Liao Ruming, then his eyes were red, and his voice was a little crying and hoarse: "Then you still..."

"He's not in this world." Liao Ruming's tone was extraordinarily complicated and deep. He couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at this moment.

He continued: "He's also in this world, though."

Cheng Ran didn't speak.

He probably thought that what Liao Ruming meant was that he saw the shadow of "that person" from Cheng Ran, or that "that person" would always be with Liao Ruming...

And this made Cheng Ran feel like a knife twisted his heart.

He wants to listen to his partner pour out his love for another person during the vulnerable period.

What a painful torture for a young alpha, a young man who has just entered the susceptible period.He huddled in the closet, let Liao Ruming's clothes drown him, and listened to Liao Ruming's words tremblingly.

But Liao Ruming stopped after finishing those few words.

Then Liao Ruming held Cheng Ran's arm with his hand.A moment later, Cheng Ran was pulled out of the closet with great force.The two fell down on the bed, and Cheng Ran fell on Liao Ruming's lap.

"Listen. I'm only saying this once."

Liao Ruming's voice was a little gloomy.

He is doubting himself, so he is not in a good mood.He didn't want to anger Cheng Ran, but he couldn't control his emotions very well.That kind of anger was aimed at himself, so it burned even more fiercely, almost drowning his whole body.

But he still tried to stay sane and allow himself to finish what he wanted to say.

He stroked Cheng Ran's hair.

"I did have a partner once. He spent a long time with me." Liao Ruming couldn't deny this, and he didn't want to deceive Cheng Ran, "But, he is no longer in this world."

Liao Ruming did not lie.

"What I mean by saying that your personality is exactly opposite to his is..." Liao Ruming said, "I didn't look for his shadow in you. You are a brand new existence, and because of your own personality and advantages, I will like you."

Cheng Ran whispered, "Is that so?"

"Yes, yes." Liao Ruming said softly, "Trust me."

Although he said so, his heart was indeed full of apology.Yes, Cheng Ran, Ji Zhihuai, and Fu Pingli are essentially the same person, indeed.

But Liao Ruming kept recalling Ji Zhihuai and Fu Pingli.

He said that he never looked for the shadows of Ji Zhihuai and Fu Pingli in Cheng Ran.And the truth is, he did.

... But the reason why he did this was never what Cheng Ran thought.

Even so, even though Liao Ruming had a clear conscience, he still deeply apologized to Cheng Ran.Because Cheng Ran didn't know about it.He didn't know the cause and effect, he just thought he was being used as a substitute.

But in front of Liao Ruming, Cheng Ran was never able to resist.

As an elder, Liao Ruming always had the initiative, and even he was a very stern and majestic existence in front of Cheng Ran.Cheng Ran dared not discuss this issue with him.

If it wasn't for the susceptibility period, then Cheng Ran probably wouldn't have spoken out his guess so impulsively.Then Liao Ruming really didn't know all his life that Cheng Ran had such a misunderstanding.

But Liao Ruming couldn't explain clearly.

He suspected that this incident would become a permanent rift between them.

Because everything is real.

Did Liao Ruming ever have a partner other than Cheng Ran?Yes, he has.

Is the former partner out of this world?Yes, indeed not.

Did he think of his former partner when he saw Cheng Ran?Yes, he really did.

...But the fucking problem is, Cheng Ran and those two men are the same person! !

Liao Ruming wanted to explain it this way, but Cheng Ran probably thought he was a lunatic and thought he had mental problems, so he thought so—that's why he used Cheng Ran as a stand-in.

Doesn't it go back and forth again?

Liao Ruming didn't want Cheng Ran to compromise.

Stand-in... stand-in.Liao Ruming laughed at himself inwardly.He thought, would Cheng Ran act as a substitute for himself?

Therefore, he could only explain to Cheng Ran in this way.

Said that he did have a partner, and the partner is no longer alive, so he has no susceptibility period.And Cheng Ran has a completely different personality from his former partner, so it is impossible for Liao Ruming to use him as a substitute.

Cheng Ran seemed to believe it, or he had to believe it, but Liao Ruming deeply doubted whether he really got out of this psychological shadow.

For such a proud and spoiled young master of the Cheng family, to find out that his sweetheart may already have someone else in his heart is already a very unacceptable thing for him.

Liao Ruming didn't know what to say.

He never thought that there would be such a development—he never thought that Cheng Ran would be jealous of himself!

Yes, Cheng Ran is eating his own jealousy.He was regretting the life of Liao Ruming that he had never participated in.His past was filled with another person, but Cheng Ran never appeared at that moment.

... Liao Ruming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He always believed that when this guy accompanied him through different worlds, he had a subconscious awareness of his own concept.But Cheng Ran's performance made him shaken.

In the future, if Cheng Ran, or a certain man in the future, recovers his memory, will he be jealous of himself like a split personality, and even start to care about Liao Ruming's different attitudes towards him with different identities?

Liao Ruming had a headache for a while.

He never thought that there would be such a strange situation.But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't blame anyone at all.

No one is wrong, but the situation is already like this.

After thinking about it, he can only blame himself.He himself was so dull that Liao Ruming didn't realize it until Cheng Ran uttered his doubts - it really made Cheng Ran think so!

Liao Ruming couldn't help sighing angrily in his heart.

He hugged Cheng Ran, stroked his hair, and calmed him down slowly.

Cheng Ran was still sobbing.Young people in the susceptible period appear sensitive and gloomy.Under normal circumstances, Cheng Ran would never do such a shameful thing as hiding in the closet sadly because Liao Ruming ignored him.

But now, he even curled up in Liao Ruming's arms and cried without any regard for face.

Liao Ruming had a very strange feeling in his heart.He tried his best to avoid comparing Cheng Ran with the previous two men, but he did think that the susceptibility period has too much influence on a person.

...Fortunately, he has been "widowed".

After a while, Cheng Ran was tired from crying, and fell into a drowsy sleep. Liao Ruming took off his coat, and let him lie down under the quilt to sleep.

And Liao Ruming himself sat on the bed, staring at Cheng Ran's face, staying up all night, with some kind of uneasy, depressed, and irritable mood, self-examination and self-reflection.

What Liao Ruming reflected on, Cheng Ran, who seemed to have regained his composure when he got up the next morning, didn't know.

On the surface, Cheng Ran has completely left the stubborn and desperate look of last night.

He just woke up and had breakfast, and while cleaning the kitchen, he muttered, "I wasted all night..."

And Liao Ruming helped him put the tableware into the dishwasher, then leaned against the edge of the cooking table, looked at him, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "There is something I have always wanted to ask you."

"what?"

Cheng Ran was lowering his head to untie his small apron, when he heard this, he looked up at him blankly.

Liao Ruming said, "Why have I never smelled your pheromone?"
