In Your Name

A summer breeze rustles through the sycamore leaves, the sun shines in the east, but beneath the trees radiates a different kind of light—a light that evokes the feeling of "happiness comes from being well-fed."

In Liu Chang'an's eyes, it was "a foolish gleam."

In Zhu Juntang's eyes, it was "the radiance of a fairy that enveloped the believers."

Everyone has a different perspective, way of thinking, and logical ability, leading to a wide variety of conclusions. Liu Chang'an cannot simply draw conclusions based on Zhu Juntang's description.

It's highly likely that Zhu Juntang exaggerated the story, after all, she's a severe case of delusional disorder who imagines herself to be a fairy and thinks she's descended to earth just by taking an elevator downstairs.

The sleepwalking symptoms she exhibits when getting up to change clothes are quite possible, and even the singing might be real. However, Qin Yanan's sleepwalking is nothing to be alarmed about. What's most noteworthy is that she resembles Ye Sijin while sleepwalking.

However, this point... is purely based on Zhu Juntang's subjective feeling; Zhu Juntang has only seen Ye Sijin's photo.

People who sleepwalk certainly don't look normal, and given Zhu Juntang's strong subjective bias, she only took her conclusions with a grain of salt.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Faced with Zhu Juntang's question, Liu Chang'an was also unable to answer.

"What if she really becomes Ye Sijin?" Zhu Juntang was still worried.

That's a somewhat meaningful question... Since the dawn of humanity, there have always been geniuses and madmen exploring questions like "Who am I?", "Why am I who I am?", "Who am I yesterday?", and "Who am I today?".

Why is Qin Yanan? Why is Ye Sijin? Will Qin Yanan become Ye Sijin? How should Liu Chang'an and Zhu Juntang view this? These are all derivative questions.

Ke Zhu Juntang shouldn't ask Liu Chang'an this question, because although Liu Chang'an hasn't been replaced by another soul, he has countless identities. Which identity best represents him?

Liu Chang'an wouldn't think about this question. He's neither a genius nor a madman. Like most ordinary people, he only cares about the present and his own primary understanding.

His thoughts were of no value to Zhu Juntang, because the life philosophy of an ant is meaningless for an elephant to comprehend.

This is merely stating the difference; it doesn't mean Liu Chang'an is an ant and Zhu Juntang is an elephant.

Liu Chang'an and Zhu Juntang walked out of the residential area, Zhu Juntang suggested that they ride in her car.

Today, Zhu Juntang is riding in a "low-key" Maybach S680. This kind of car is very convenient and practical, and in Zhu Juntang's opinion, it is not eye-catching at all. Even a fairy sometimes wants to go out like an ordinary person, so she will use a luxury car that is the standard of an ordinary person.

Zhu Juntang jogged over and opened the car door, her skirt swaying like a flower in the wind. Only then did Liu Chang'an notice that the lining of her seemingly ordinary skirt was actually decorated with a picture of stars and the universe, with the sun, moon and stars adorned with sparkling gems or sequins.

There is a universe beneath the fairy's skirt.

"Third Miss, you..."

Zhu Juntang turned around and saw a man dressed in white chef's uniform looking at her in surprise. It was Zhang Jiawei, the chef that Zhu Juntang had poached from her second brother Zhu Lixing.

Zhang Jiawei stared at Zhu Juntang in astonishment, because Zhu Juntang was actually opening the car door for someone else, and because Zhu Juntang was actually reaching out to block the edge of the car roof. This is usually only done by doormen in high-end hotels and restaurants when greeting guests, to prevent guests from bumping their heads. Of course... Zhu Juntang's own driver and servants also do this.

"What are you looking at? What are you doing here?" Zhu Juntang felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was someone she knew. She was just unconsciously trying to curry favor with Liu Chang'an.

"This month's new menu includes a dish of river shrimp cooked in fermented rice wine. I'll go buy some fresh river shrimp. You haven't ordered this dish yet, have you?" Zhang Jiawei resumed his usual ingratiating smile, carefully hinting that the dish was truly delicious. Even if you hadn't ordered it, he personally selected the best ingredients every day to prepare it. The head chef personally selecting the ingredients was a very important selling point in a luxury restaurant.

"Understood." Zhu Juntang nodded and went around to the other side to get into the car.

As someone in the service industry, Zhang Jiawei is naturally adept at observing details. Although she was audacious enough to seduce the women Zhu Lixing had been with, she still possessed basic professional qualities. Zhang Jiawei was secretly surprised; who was that man who had only seen his back earlier? Even if it was the Third Mistress, this Third Miss wouldn't be so ingratiating.

After getting into the car, Zhu Juntang gave Liu Chang'an a smile.

The car started moving, Liu Chang'an was marveling at the progress of modern technology. In the past, even if the interior of cars, including horse-drawn carriages and sedan chairs, could be made more luxurious and the space could be more spacious, there was no way to improve the sound insulation, shock absorption and other aspects to the extent that we have now.

Of course, if he hadn't been with Zhu Juntang, Liu Chang'an would have walked there by himself. Although his steps were slow, he had already traversed continents and oceans.

"Let me ask you something, what if Qin Yanan really becomes Ye Sijin?" Zhu Juntang put down the soundproofing panel and repeated the question with concern.

Liu Chang'an said their friendship was superficial, but on this issue, Zhu Juntang was definitely firm in her stance. Qin Yanan had become Ye Sijin, which meant Qin Yanan had disappeared. How could Zhu Juntang not be sad? It's best if this kind of thing doesn't happen.

"There's no point in talking about this now."

"Tell me what you think?" Zhu Juntang wanted to reach out and hug Liu Chang'an's arm, trying to act coquettishly, but then thought it would probably be useless, especially since they were leaning on each other with their hands in between.

"Ye Sijin is already dead. When someone dies, their soul is scattered and their brain is dead. There are no signs of life or blood. Their heart and brain have lost their function, so their nervous system has also completely lost its effectiveness. The basis for maintaining consciousness no longer exists, and the self-awareness stored in her neural units has naturally disappeared completely. How could it replace Qin Yanan's self-awareness?" Liu Chang'an analyzed using known scientific viewpoints.

Zhu Juntang breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Liu Chang'an, "Oh, I guess I was overthinking it?"

"You're overthinking it. So you're just bored and dragged me along?" Liu Chang'an looked at Zhu Juntang calmly.

"I... I mean, this is for the best, but the key is that it's still a bit weird, hehe... after all, she's your old flame's great-granddaughter."

Without hesitation, Liu Chang'an smacked Zhu Juntang on the forehead. "First, Ye Sijin is not my old flame. Second, the relationship shown in that photo is that Ye Chenyu is Ye Sijin's older brother and Qin Peng's cousin."

"Your original name was Ye Chenyu!" Zhu Juntang suddenly realized, then muttered to herself, "That's not a very good name."

Liu Chang'an ignored her. Did she think people used to name their children like they do now, just randomly picking a few characters and combining them?

For example, what kind of name is Zhu Juntang?
