Qu Zhen hesitated for a moment but still reached out and patted Liu Feifei’s shoulder: "Don’t be too sad, and don’t dwell too much on these things; you have to take care of yourself."

Qu Zhen stood up and grabbed Liu Xia: "Let’s go outside to talk."

Father Liu glanced at Liu Xia, then at Liu Feifei. He gestured to Madam Liu to watch over Liu Feifei and followed Qu Zhen out the door.

This is an old neighborhood, and not a large one. The houses are quite dilapidated, and there are no green plants in the courtyard; stepping down from upstairs, it’s just a stretch of cement ground.

Liu Xia led Qu Zhen and Father Liu for a short walk, finding a large willow tree with no one around, and the three of them stood beneath it to talk.

Qu Zhen looked at Liu Xia earnestly and said, "I suggest you take Feifei to see a psychologist."

Liu Xia and Father Liu were scared out of their wits.

"What’s wrong with Feifei?"

Especially Father Liu, who was trembling all over.

In his mind, needing to see a psychologist was almost akin to having a mental illness.

He couldn’t imagine his lively and cute little daughter turning into a mental patient.

Qu Zhen sighed: "You know my cousin, Anning, right? She’s the one who had dinner at your home."

Liu Xia nodded: "Didn’t we just have dinner together? Of course, I know."

Qu Zhen continued: "She’s from Hai City and grew up with Li Hai. I called her, and she asked Li Hai, who said Feifei indeed had worked at the club and entangled him for a while. The photos on that forum... are real."

Uttering these words, Qu Zhen found it very difficult.

Liu Xia and Father Liu’s faces turned pale as paper.

Father Liu was distressed but also furious: "Feifei lied? I’ve taught her since childhood to have integrity; how can she do this?"

Qu Zhen waved his hand: "Anning said Feifei didn’t lie; previously, Anning experienced something similar."

He whispered about how Anning had a boyfriend in school and was in a good relationship, but she suddenly broke up and then dated Li Hai.

"Anning’s situation is a bit better than Feifei’s. Her dominant personality wakes up for a period every day, and she used that time to manage things, eventually eliminating the second personality, gaining control over her body truly. Ningning says Feifei’s situation is similar; those incidents weren’t done by Feifei but by the second personality using her body."

Liu Xia and Father Liu listened as if hearing a bizarre tale.

Father Liu walked in circles under the willow tree: "What should we do? How did this happen? Even if Feifei wakes up now, those things she did have spread everywhere; what will she do in the future? Feifei’s self-esteem is so strong; how can she bear this?"

This was precisely what worried Qu Zhen and Liu Xia.

Qu Zhen thought for a moment: "If nothing else works, have Feifei checked out, then send her away to live somewhere for a while, wait for this matter to settle down before bringing her back home."

Father Liu sighed deeply: "It’s the only way."

The three of them discussed for a while and then went back.

Madam Liu was hugging Liu Feifei, crying. Seeing the three return, she wiped her tears and stood up: "Hubby, what are we going to do? Feifei’s situation..."

Father Liu pulled Madam Liu into the room to talk.

Liu Xia sat beside Liu Feifei, comforting her.

Qu Zhen took the opportunity to ask Liu Feifei a few questions, like when her last memory was, what she had been doing previously, and whether there were any blurred memories during this period.

The more he asked, the more shocked Qu Zhen became.

Liu Xia was also extremely frightened.

"Feifei, don’t be afraid. Your brother-in-law said his cousin experienced something similar. He said it was caused by a sudden emergence of a second personality in her body. Sister knows you’re not that kind of person and wouldn’t do such things; we all believe you and will help you."

Liu Feifei was really badly shaken.

She had only slept, but upon waking, the world was turned upside down, making her unable to accept it. The psychological gap almost made her not want to live.

Facing her parents’ reproaches, Liu Feifei felt so miserable she wanted to commit suicide.

Thankfully, her sister and brother-in-law did not reproach her; instead, they kept comforting her and saying they believed her, bringing a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"Sister, what should I do?"

Liu Feifei cried as she threw herself into Liu Xia’s arms.

Liu Xia cajoled Liu Feifei: "Don’t cry; we’ve thought of a good solution. Your brother-in-law and I plan to send you to live elsewhere for a while, to a place where no one knows you, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. You’ll start anew there; after this matter passes, I’ll bring you home, okay?"

Liu Feifei was eager to escape all of this.

She didn’t want to face the strange looks from others anymore, nor be scolded shamelessly whenever she went out: "Okay, I’ll listen to Sister."

After a while, Father Liu and Madam Liu came out of the bedroom. Madam Liu didn’t say anything but silently packed Liu Feifei’s belongings.

Qu Zhen went out to call Anning: "Ningning, I’m asking you for a favor; you’re going back to Y County, right? Can you take Feifei with you? Let her live there for a while to change her mood; otherwise, I worry she won’t be able to bear it and something might happen."

"Sure."

Anning agreed with a smile.

Liu Xia and Qu Zhen had met her parents, looking like they were about to get married, so Liu Feifei could be considered her relative too; lending a hand was the right thing to do.

Besides, Anning felt Liu Feifei and her original self shared a sympathizing plight, both nearly losing a good life to that disgusting alien soul; remembering this, Anning would help Liu Feifei.

Later, Qu Zhen found an old classmate, who helped introduce a good psychologist. He then took Liu Xia and Liu Feifei for a consultation.

After counseling from the psychologist, Liu Feifei’s mood noticeably improved.

A few days later, as Anning was heading back to Y County, Qu Zhen drove Liu Feifei to the airport.

Liu Feifei had a smile on her face by this point; she truly was quite a lively and lovely girl.

She greeted Anning with a smile as she saw her: "I’ll be bothering you in the future."

Anning smiled and took Liu Feifei’s hand: "It’s alright; just right, there’s only my sister and me at home. You’ll liven things up by being there, and what’s more, I’m about to get married; if you’d like, you could be my bridesmaid."

Anning smiled at Liu Xia and Qu Zhen, then said to Liu Feifei: "When I get married, my cousin and cousin-in-law will certainly come over; have them stay with you for a day or two then."

Liu Feifei was delighted about being asked to be a bridesmaid: "Really? Really let me be the bridesmaid? Then I need to care for myself these days; I can’t appear at your wedding looking haggard, that’d be embarrassing."

Anning leaned in and whispered to Liu Feifei.

Watching the two young girls getting along well, Qu Zhen and Liu Xia felt at ease.

After Anning and Liu Feifei finished checking in their luggage and passing security, Qu Zhen and Liu Xia went back.
