"Shanshan!" He cried out in alarm and rushed to the door. At once, he saw Shanshan lying flat on the floor directly opposite the doorway, her chest rising and falling rapidly. There was a candlestick sticking out of her chest. The candle in the holder had been thrown aside, the sharp end of the holder had been thrust into her chest.

Shanshan gripped the candlestick with both hands. Her eyes were opened wide and she kept taking deep breaths, but blood kept gurgling out of the corner of her mouth.

The boy felt as if his heart had been stabbed! Especially when he saw Shanshan's miserable appearance. He was both vexed and heartbroken. He walked to her side, but he was at a loss, unsure if he should touch her.

"Shanshan, what happened?"

The girl stared at him with widened eyes. She kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Bean-sized tears streamed from the corners of her eyes. Cold sweat broke out across her forehead. Her blood-stained hands trembled as she grabbed the boy's sleeve.

"Youyou…"

"Shanshan…"

"Sob, sob, sob… it hurts, it hurts…"

Shanshan was in so much pain that she began to cry. She cried and cried, choking on blood from time to time.

Youyou's eyes moved slowly to the spot where she had been injured, until he saw where the candlestick had pierced. Then he realized that the candlestick had struck a vital spot…

No longer caring, he sadly picked up Shanshan and pulled her into his arms. "Don't cry, don't cry. I'm here. I'm with you…"

Shanshan was just a 15 or 16-year-old girl after all. Bearing such pain, she trembled and cried. "It hurts, it hurts… sob, sob, sob, sob… it hurts…"

The boy felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a knife just listening to her. He held her close sadly, but he was also aware that her body was growing colder from the loss of blood.

"Am… am I dying…" Shanshan clung to the boy's arm wistfully, tears blurring her eyes.

The boy forced a smile. "How could that be? Don't worry, you're not going to die! I promise I won't let you!"

"But… but, it really hurts. What do I do …"

Even if a person has been stabbed in a vital spot, he would not die instantly. In the case of excessive blood loss, one could face a long period of pain.

Shanshan widened her eyes and kept gasping. It seemed that this was the only way to calm the pain.

The boy was choking with grief, his head ringing.

How could this have happened? He couldn't quite tell if he was in a dream or reality or somewhere else. He didn't understand why he was going through this. That young man must have done this. Why would he do such a thing, such a cruel thing?! He didn't understand! He didn't know whether he was controlling the plot or the brain was controlling them.

The only difference between him and these personalities was that he was the dominant personality. This was his birthright that no one could change.

Otherwise, what was the difference between him and these personalities?

"Youyou…" In his arms, the girl's breathing calmed down. It became strangely smooth. It was as though she knew her end was near, and there was an acceptance of the inevitability.

Youyou lowered his gaze. Shanshan was gazing at him intently. "My name is… Liang Yishan…"

"Liang Yishan …"

"Please don't forget me… I wish to live on in your heart even if I can't…"

Shanshan murmured, "Youyou, please give me a hug, will you…"
