The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

Chapter 132 - 132 Could It Be That I Constructed a Fake World?

132 Could It Be That I Constructed a Fake World?

Despite being visibly the most distressed, Huo Meijun comforted Lin Wan. “I tried clearing everything, but it’s only made the situation worse. Su Wei is currently reading the news. He advised me not to respond to such news.”

“Oh. Alright.” Lin Wan felt relieved.

The Lan Village crew of “We Are Also Very Ordinary” discussed Lin Wan being Xiao Huan of Sweet Little Circle. They agreed to let her do her own broadcast within the show. This was definitely a selling point. As long as the time was determined, it would be fine. The details would be decided after Lin Wan arrived.

The person in charge of the livestream team informed Lin Wan of the outcomes right away.

Li Yanchen and Lin Wan had a stroll along the river after leaving the restaurant while he sent his three sons home.

“You’ve definitely bounced back, Wanwan.” In front of the Qing’an bridge, Li Yanchen halted. “In the past, you used to be so depressed. You currently have a social network and a career of your own!”

When Yang Youyou first spoke with Lin Wan after the reunion, she had said the same thing as Li Yanchen. The host’s Dissociative Personality Disorder was apparently a condition from her high school days. Lin Wan had only learnt about that recently.

That day, Lin Wan finally understood why Li Yanchen had been so calm and believed everything when she had confessed. He thought she had a split personality.

After that, Lin Wan made several attempts to navigate her way back home to her own world. Despite employing every tactic at her disposal, she was still trapped in this reality. Lin Wan wondered if she really had transmigrated. Or if she had just built a reality to escape from the world that caused her pain. Did she really have a split personality? Lin Wan was confused.

“Do I really have a split personality?” Lin Wan asked. Lin Wan enquired. She investigated the dissociative identity disorder signs and symptoms. She had only ever seen this sickness in television programs. Did she actually experience it?

Li Yanchen remembered that Elder Lin had told him before he passed away that Lin Wan herself did not believe that she had split personality. For him, it was the same. This was due to the fact that split personality was a recognized mental illness. Nobody would be eager to acknowledge that they possessed two personalities. He frequently witnessed his daughter in a stupor, and he suspected she might be depressed. She occasionally even cried uncontrollably.

“What did I used to be like?” Lin Wan leaned against the railing with both hands.

“Are you genuinely curious?

“Yes.”

Li Yanchen pondered for a moment. “Actually, I don’t really know, either. Uncle Lin… I should call him father Lin. When he passed away, I hired an Auntie to look after you. Gradually, the Auntie realized that your behavior was very abnormal. For instance, you would frequently daydream while sitting on the balcony, spend an entire day in the bathtub, or even lock yourself in your room. You didn’t have any friends and you wouldn’t go out for months.”

Li Yanchen, at that time, didn’t bring her to his place. He only found out about her daily life from Auntie.

“My brother was still receiving treatment overseas, and I frequently traveled. I was scared so I ran away.” Li Yanchen’s voice trembled. “I rarely got to see you.”

The man’s terror was apparent to Lin Wan. She assumed that the person who had originally had her body had committed a horrible crime. “And then?”

Li Yanchen clenched his fists. “One day, I was at a hospital in country H. Auntie called me and told me that you were standing on the roof and about to jump. Thankfully, the firefighters arrived in time. Otherwise, how would I have been able to face your father? I was afraid that something would happen to you again, so I discussed the marriage contract and moving into Royal Water Bay Villa. We then had a wedding and signed an agreement.”

“Your father told me that you were very bright and lively before high school. Although you didn’t have a mother, you were never sad. You were a sensible child. Every day, you would come back from school and tell Elder Lin everything about your day. You won so many awards in singing, dancing, speeches and other activities.” Li Yanchen’s eyes sparkled.

. Even though he had not seen it with his own eyes, he could imagine how dazzling Lin Wan was just from the descriptions.

“Father Lin said that his biggest regret was sending you to Yungang High School. You wanted to attend the nearest school to your house, but he insisted you attend Yungang because it had the highest success rate for college entrance exams, so he made you apply for that school and for the dormitory as well.”

“Later, your personality underwent a profound alteration. Father learned about your school issues only after you graduated from high school.” Li Yanchen’s eyes turned misty as he recalled how Elder Lin had used the last bit of his strength to hold onto Li Yanchen’s hand before he passed away, telling him to take good care of Lin Wan.

Seven years ago, he had thought of bringing Lin Wan to the Royal Water Bay directly. However, he was acting as his brother and seeing how his “wife” had just passed away, he couldn’t let another woman so easily. People would have criticized Lin Wan even more.

“Later, you were tricked by Jiejie and the others to go to Lan Village. I was on a business trip at that time. When I heard the news, I rushed back overnight. I was worried that Xinxin would make things difficult for you and that you would not be able to face so many people. But I didn’t expect you to be so calm in the show. I thought that the show had changed you, so I continued to accompany you to do the tasks there.”

“You believe my second personality is active?” Lin Wan asked.

“Yes, this livestream has indeed changed you. Isn’t this like using poison to attack poison?”

“Is the place I used to live in still around? Can you take me there?” Lin Wan would pretend to be the original owner for the time being. Perhaps she could find a breakthrough in the place where the original owner used to live.

“Yes. Although I brought you to the Royal Water Bay, the Auntie still lives there. She has no children and works alone in Yun City. She helps maintain the Lin family’s old house. At least she has a place to live.”

“If you want to go, I can take you there for the Chinese New Year festival. Your father is also buried in a cemetery there.”

Dissociative Identity Disorder made you forget about previous experiences. Li Yanchen didn’t want to admit it but Lin Wan’s condition seemed serious.

“In Dissociative Identity Disorder, when a new personality emerges, the person will forget the previous memories. You forget who you are and what happened to you.” Hearing that sent a chill down Lin Wan’s spine.

If it was a simple case of transmigration, she should have remembered the host’s past. However, the things that happened in the original world were very real, including making desserts. ‘Could she have imagined all kinds of baking methods? If she didn’t learn it in her original world, how could she remember them now?’

“Maybe I am selfish for not telling you this sooner. But I was afraid you might forget me too,” said Li Yanchen.

She reached out and touched his face. “You fell in love with me despite that. Thank you.”

“A lot has happened today. Let’s talk about it when we get home,” he said.

“Alright,” said Lin Wan happily. “I am going to keep a diary in the future. That way, no matter what happens to me, I will always remember you.”

Li Yanchen ran his fingers through her hair. “That would be good. And I’ll make you fall in love with me every time you forget.”

“You narcissist!”

Li Yanchen smirked.

“That smile is creepy, Li Yanchen.”
