“Well, stop making wild guesses and never mind how I know! Anyway, I know about it.”

Gong Fan’s method of communication with him was a secret. He wouldn’t tell even his mother! It was a secret that belonged only to them.

“Is Uncle here?”

“Yes, on the second-floor balcony. Why?”

Youyou said, “Go back to your room! I need to discuss something with him.” As he said this, the boy headed for the second floor.

When he got to the second floor, he ran into Gong Jie, who was about to go downstairs. When the man saw the boy, he studied him for a moment until he recognized him as Youyou and not Gong Fan. Then he tried to greet him. “You’re Youyou?”

“Uh huh.” The boy’s eyes crinkled as he smiled. “You’re smart, Uncle. You recognized me.”

“He doesn’t smile the way you do.” Gong Jie paused before correcting himself. “He doesn’t smile much.”

“Is that so.”

Gong Jie nodded. Actually, it was easy to tell the two personalities apart. Gong Fan’s coldness came from deep within. Whereas Youyou’s warmth was infectious. One would feel it at a glance. This was not something that could be changed.

It was just that he hadn’t realized it before. It was simply odd, how a child could be so clever, so obedient in front of Yun Shishi, when in fact he was a shrewd child, terrifying beyond imagination. But in front of his mother, he seemed so innocent.

However, back then, he had not expected that Youyou had a split personality. If he had detected even the slightest hint of this, he would have handed the boy over to Alice immediately and not delayed till now.

“Are you looking for me?”

“Uh huh.”

Gong Jie got curious.

“What’s up?”

“Gong Fan wants me to tell you that no matter what you buy for him next time, it shouldn’t be anything too sweet.”

“Just this?” Gong Jie broke out in a cold sweat.

“Of course not.” The boy walked over to the parapet and leaned lazily against it, enjoying the evening breeze. He closed his eyes briefly.

The man came up behind him and stared after him for some time. Then he joined him at the parapet. The uncle and nephew stood this way, enjoying the breeze for a moment. The evening wind was a little cold. Coupled with the low temperature at night, it occasionally became a little chilly.

Gong Jie was getting cold, so he asked, “Aren’t you cold?”

Youyou shook his head and narrowed his eyes in apparent enjoyment.

The man complained, “Did you come up here just to drag me out here to enjoy the chilly breeze?”

“There were many things I wanted to say to you, but when I closed my eyes, I suddenly forgot.”

“You’re not even that old. Has your memory gone that bad all of a sudden?”

“Well, maybe I’m getting old!”

Gong Jie was devastated to hear that. “If you’re an old man, does that mean it’s time for me to ascend to the heavens?”

“Isn’t it nice to get some cold air? It clears my head and wakes me up.”

The man was greatly amused. “It’s late, time for bed, and you’re telling me you want to be woken up?”

“I don’t feel like sleeping.” The boy was actually very tired, but he had no intention of wasting his time on sleep. He wanted to spend more of his time being awake. Even just leaning against the balcony in the cold and staring into the night was better than closing his eyes. “When you die, you’ll sleep forever. Why sleep so much when you’re alive?” The boy suddenly spat out another golden nugget.
