Chapter 104.1: This Is Santorini (1)



Ji Fanyin had run through how she would apologize to Zhang Ning many times in her head, but before she could bow, the latter passed her a chocolate ice cream cone.

Confused, Ji Fanyin took the chocolate ice cream cone and thanked her for it, but she dared not to eat it.

“Aren’t you going to eat it?” Zhang Ning asked with upshot eyebrows. “She told me that unlike her, you prefer chocolate.”

Ji Fanyin finally took a small bite of the ice cream cone before meekly asking, “You’re talking about the other Ji Fanyin?”

“That’s right.”

Zhang Ning rested her back on her office chair and said, “The two of you are different identities of the same person anyway, so you should know what she wrote in the email she sent me.”

Ji Fanyin frowned as she hesitantly explained, “… I know, but she clearly wrote in the email that we are two different people.”

“I am a devout believer of science.” Zhang Ning coolly shook her finger. “I did some research online. I read that the second identity tends to take on a more forceful demeanor when an individual seeks to escape from reality. It’s the subconscious mind’s way of solving problems. I find that to be a satisfactory explanation for the situation concerning the two of you.”

Cheng Lin revealed a contemplative look upon hearing those words.

Ji Fanyin had a feeling that it was impossible for her to convince them of the truth anymore. She knew better than anyone else, that other ‘Ji Fanyin’ had come from another world. She had seen how the other ‘Ji Fanyin’ worked hard to fulfill the goal set by the mysterious app on her phone, and she even personally saw the other ‘Ji Fanyin’ off. She had also met Shen Qi too…

The only problem was that she didn’t have any evidence of any of that.contemporary romance

Even she would have thought that it was utter nonsense if she didn’t know better. Who would possibly believe her if she told them the truth?

Not to mention, the ‘dissociative personality disorder’ explanation happened to be a fitting explanation for her circumstances.

Li Mingyue was one example who bought into the ‘dissociative personality disorder’ explanation.

Looking at Zhang Ning’s ‘You can continue weaving whatever story you want, but I’ll only look at scientific evidence’ expression, Ji Fanyin swallowed down her explanation and said, “I came here today to talk about my shares in the studio…”

“Oh. You can keep that,” Zhang Ning replied with a wave of her hand. “It doesn’t matter. It’s not as if your other identity has done much for the studio anyway.”

Ji Fanyin shook her head and insisted on her stance. “I wish to split it equally between you and Mr. He.”

Zhang Ning looked at her and asked with a chuckle, “What’s your other identity’s take on this?”

Having given up on convincing them otherwise on this matter, Ji Fanyin licked her chocolate ice cream cone and replied, “That’s also how she intended to deal with it in her will.”

Zhang Ning raised her eyebrows. “But you aren’t dead. That means that the will is voided. You should also know that she told me to take care of you in her email, and this is how I take care of people. She requested me to keep an eye on your spending, so I’ll be managing your bank account from now onward. You can freely withdraw up to 50,000 RMB from your bank account everyday, but you’ll need my approval for anything beyond that. It’s a safety measure, just in case you get scammed.”

Cheng Lin nodded in agreement. “That’s a good suggestion. I’m worried about that too.”

“I’m not that naive. I won’t get scammed by others that easily…”

“Your ice cream. It’s melting,” Zhang Ning interjected.

Ji Fanyin could only lower her head and continue licking her ice cream obediently. She wondered what the ice cream was made of, for it to melt that easily.

Zhang Ning made use of this opportunity to caress her head. She couldn’t help but remark in amazement, “Babe, I never thought that a day would come where I’d see such an obedient look on your face. Speaking of which, will your other identity be able to come out from time to time to catch up with me?”

“She’s probably…” Ji Fanyin hesitated for a moment before answering sorrowfully, “… not coming back.”

She felt bad for Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning lowered her hand and silently nodded in response. It was hard to tell what she was feeling at the moment.

“I’m sorry.” Ji Fanyin raised her head and earnestly apologized. “I’m so sorry about this,”

Zhang Ning patted her head with a smile. She grabbed Ji Fanyin’s shoulders and pivoted her toward the common working space outside the office. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she asked, “How do you intend to deal with your other identity’s relationships?”

Looking at Cheng Yunsheng, who had just returned to his desk, Ji Fanyin suddenly found that the chocolate ice cream cone in her hand didn’t taste as good anymore.
