Chapter 550: Chapter 2: Learning That His Wife and Daughter Have Arrived, Chi Yu Can’t Sit Still

"In scientific terms, this situation could also be explained as..." Yao Tao felt that those four words might be a bit harsh, but thought it was possible after all. After contemplating for a few seconds, she still said those four words: "Schizophrenia."

After speaking, Yao Tao watched Chi Yu’s reaction.

She found that he didn’t have much of a reaction to the word schizophrenia.

She thought to herself, that’s good.

No catastrophe caused by a single sentence.

She continued, "Maybe... it’s not schizophrenia, you might just be too tired. But don’t lose heart now, everything will be clear after you see a doctor."

Chi Yu replied lightly, "Yeah."

Yao Tao noticed the bowl of noodles in his hand and smiled, "Your noodles are almost soggy, go ahead and eat them."

Chi Yu glanced down at them and they were indeed about to get soggy.

He put down the noodle bowl without eating and turned to leave the kitchen.

"Hey, aren’t you going to eat your noodles?" Skipping one bowl, now skipping another. You can’t keep wasting food just because you’re a preferred member.

...

Coming out of the kitchen, Chi Yu saw everyone gathered together having breakfast.

Everyone noticed Chi Yu too and greeted him. Chi Yu’s cameraman also walked toward him.

Yi Shu came over and handed Chi Yu a mic, asking, "Why are you up so early today?"

Chi Yu took the mic, clipped it on himself, and spoke truthfully, "I didn’t sleep last night."

"Really didn’t sleep at all?"

"Yeah."

Yi Shu thought Chi Yu was just saying he wouldn’t sleep last night, not that he really stayed up all night.

Yi Shu was curious, "Did you sleepwalk last night?"

Chi Yu didn’t want to talk about this anymore, so he shook his head.

"Shaking your head means you didn’t sleepwalk, so it seems you only sleepwalk when you actually sleep," Yi Shu was happy for him for a few seconds, but then his face fell, "But you can’t not sleep all the time, you’re not made of iron."

Chi Yu still shook his head, "It shouldn’t happen again, don’t worry."

Having said that, Yi Shu didn’t continue the topic.

Although Chi Yu didn’t want to bring up his ’sleepwalking’ or ’schizophrenia’ issue again, he was becoming increasingly curious about the other self inside him.

Was that disappearing memory starting to awaken?

But why... in this manner?

Splitting into another consciousness, and that other consciousness was gradually getting stronger, trying to swallow his current self... See, that consciousness is occupying his body for longer and longer each time, isn’t it?!

...

The wrap-up recording for today’s program went smoothly.

Besides the breakfast noodles made by Yao Tao, both lunch and dinner were collaborative efforts by the show’s guests, making it warm and lively.

After lunch, everyone started chatting.

With the conclusion tonight, they were set to leave in the morning, and the few days of recording made everyone quite reluctant to part.

Chi Yu was preoccupied, feeling a bit out of place, and after lunch, he sat idly scrolling through his phone.

Opened WeChat, logged out.

Opened Weibo, logged out.

Opened his personal social media account, logged out.

Repeatedly like this, it seemed to others that he was deeply engrossed in his phone, so no one disturbed him.

Yao Tao was chatting with everyone about various topics, and the cheerful atmosphere was momentarily halted by a phone call. Yao Tao picked up the vibrating phone, glanced at the screen, and quickly said to everyone, "I’ll step out for a bit."

As Yao Tao left,

Sheng Yi’s phone on the table also vibrated. She picked it up, glanced at it, and got up to say to everyone, "I’ll step out for a bit too."

She didn’t say what it was about.

The two of them left one after another.

Lin Shi really wanted to follow, but since it was two girls heading out, even Lin Shi, as thick-skinned as he was, felt it wasn’t appropriate to be a bothersome tagalong. Seeing Chi Yu still on his phone, Lin Shi couldn’t help but interrupt him for a few seconds, "Are you going to sleep tonight?"

Chi Yu, still focused on his phone, didn’t even look up at Lin Shi and answered, "Yes."

Seeing that Chi Yu responded, Lin Shi continued to bug him, "Aren’t you worried about sleepwalking?"

Chi Yu: "I’m not worried, but you seem pretty worried. How about we both stay up tonight and catch some critters in the melon field?"

Lin Shi: "..."

Chi Yu still didn’t know that Gu Yuan had arrived early at Ancient Water Village. He thought she would come at night. With Yao Tao and Sheng Yi leaving one after another, he didn’t link it to Gu Yuan’s arrival.

Afternoon was free time.

Though it was called free time, it was actually more of an arranged freedom.

With so many members of the show staying at the farmstay these past few days, many of Yao Tao’s stocked items had been used up, like firewood and dried vegetables - things that can be stored for a long time.

Lin Xijiang suggested they all go up the mountain to gather some firewood to replenish what had been used up, and no one disagreed. Adding that it was the last day of recording, everyone was more active than in the previous days.
