After getting off work and returning home, I pinned my girlfriend to the bed and kissed her passionately.
She tried hard to push me away, but couldn’t speak.
While kissing, I noticed her face turning red.
We’ve been together for so long. Why is she blushing?
Damn, she’s blushing?
I quickly got up, my face filled with embarrassment.
“Brother – in – law, you…”
“Uh, where’s your sister?”
“She just went out.”
“Sorry, you two look so alike. I…”
“Brother – in – law, I’m leaving.” She put on her shoes in a flurry and left.
If I had known this misunderstanding would make her fall in love with me, I would never have done it.

My girlfriend has a twin sister, and they look extremely alike. Their height, weight, and facial features are identical.
Even their voices are the same. My girlfriend said the time difference between their births was only one minute.
The only difference is their personalities. My girlfriend is more introverted and quiet, while her sister is more extroverted and free – spirited.
Today, my girlfriend didn’t tell me her sister was coming, and I mistook her for someone else, leading to a situation that was both intimate and awkward. I’m so frustrated that I keep scratching my head.
Ten minutes later, my girlfriend came back, carrying a lot of groceries.
“Huh? Where’s my sister?”
“Uh, she left.”
“Left? Why did she leave?”
I was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain. “Just… she suddenly had an urgent matter and left.”
“How could that be?” My girlfriend looked at me suspiciously. “I’ll call her.”
My heart was in my throat. If her sister told the truth, or if my girlfriend found out something due to her sister’s embarrassment, I would be in big trouble.
Watching my girlfriend take out her phone, enter her sister’s name, and press the call button, every step was tugging at my nerves. My heart was almost jumping out of my throat.
“Her phone is off?”
My girlfriend called again, and it was still off.
The stone in my heart dropped. I swore that I would ask clearly who was who before doing any intimate actions in the future.
“Maybe… maybe she really had some urgent matter…”
My girlfriend stared into my eyes. “You’re acting strange.”
“What’s strange about me?”
“You stutter when you lie. Don’t you know that?”
“I… I’m not stuttering.”
“Then why is your face red?”
“Well, isn’t it too hot?”
“Hot? So hot that you’re sweating all over?”
I quickly changed the subject. “Let me put the groceries in the fridge. Since your sister left, we definitely can’t finish all this food.”
“Did you two do something bad behind my back?”
I replied while packing the groceries, not daring to look her in the eye. “How could that be? What could we do? What are you thinking?”
“I’ll ask her properly next time I see her.”
“Ask then.” I replied nervously.

At night, I couldn’t fall asleep.
My mind is filled with the image of my girlfriend’s sister struggling under me, my lips pressed against hers, and she couldn’t explain herself, only able to make desperate, muffled sounds.
I turned over and cursed myself for being a pervert. What was I thinking at a time like this?
I should think about how to avoid embarrassment when we meet next time.
Moreover, this matter must not let my girlfriend know. She loves her sister the most. If she knew I kissed her sister, whether it was a misunderstanding or not, we would definitely break up.
Fortunately, her sister didn’t show up for several days. Judging from my girlfriend’s appearance, the two sisters didn’t have any in – depth communication.
As long as no one mentions this matter later, it should just pass.
The stone in my heart finally dropped.
I met her sister a few times in the middle. She talked to me normally, as if that incident had never happened.
This is the best. It was originally a misunderstanding, and the responsibility was mine. It was a great fortune that she could forgive me.
Today, my girlfriend got off work very early. As soon as I opened the door, I smelled alcohol on her.
“Where did you go? Why did you drink so much?”
“Company, party, I’m annoyed.”
She spat out a few words and then collapsed onto me, drowsy.
I carried her into the bedroom and went to the kitchen to make honey water for her.
She took the cup and drank a big mouthful, then suddenly put her arms around my neck and passed the honey water in her mouth to me.
“Stop making trouble. Stop.”
I just thought she was drunk and told her to have a good rest.
But she didn’t want to let go. “Today at the company dinner, they were all in pairs, being affectionate. I was the only one alone.”
“Where did you have dinner… and being affectionate?”
As she spoke, her hands didn’t stop. They reached from my waist to my back.
Her hands were very hot, like a ball of fire wandering on my body.
My girlfriend was indeed drunk. She had no support, and half of her body was hanging on me.
The smell of alcohol mixed with the perfume on her body was very intoxicating.
Looking at her blushing face and being provoked by her wandering hands, I no longer intended to suppress my desires and kissed her fiercely.
It took a long time, and I was sweating all over. Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I returned to the room and saw my girlfriend’s sexy back, a thought came to my mind. This thought was like a cool air, rushing straight from my heel to the top of my head.
Oh no!
Am I really that stupid? Was the person I was just intimate with really my girlfriend?
“You… are you Wenwan or Wenrou?”
3
“Slap!”
A loud slap. “Wang Heshan, what the hell are you thinking!”
“No, Wenrou, listen to me explain…”
“You’re so disgusting. While doing that with me, you were actually thinking about my sister. Are you even human?”
“No, I, you listen to me explain.” I said I would explain, but I couldn’t think of how to explain this at all.
Could I tell her that I mistook Wenwan for her last time and pinned her to the bed and kissed her?
Wouldn’t that make things worse? But if I didn’t say that, how could I make her understand my concerns?
“I… you two look so alike… I’m just afraid of making a mistake.”
“What are you thinking? Could my sister have that kind of thing with you? You’re so dirty. I must be blind to be with you.”
“Wenrou, I was wrong. You really misunderstood.”
“Did something happen between you two?” She stared into my eyes.
“No, really not.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“It’s really just because you two look so alike. I thought I should ask clearly, otherwise… otherwise how to deal with it…”
“If nothing happened between you two, how could you have such concerns?” She slapped me hard again.
I watched her crying pitifully, put on my clothes, and slammed the door and left.
There was no way. The more I tried to explain, the worse it would get.
I could only wait for her to calm down and then apologize to her properly.
I sat back on the bed. The bedding still had her remaining warmth, and the bedsheet still had the evidence of our love.
It was clearly a beautiful and intimate thing. How did I make it like this?
I grabbed my hair in regret. I didn’t have the mood to clean the room, so I opened a bottle of wine and drank it in big gulps.
If we broke up because of this, it would be too unworthy.
Wenrou and I have known each other for half a year. We fell in love at first sight. She is as gentle as her name.
She is also beautiful, virtuous, and sensible.
Her sister is her sore spot. No one can make her sister feel wronged, including me.
I don’t know how long I drank. I was completely dizzy. The door opened.
Wenrou came back, looking exhausted.
I quickly went over and took her hand. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
She looked at me coldly. “Are you crazy?”
“Don’t be angry, okay? I was really wrong.”
“No, did you get yourself drunk alone? I’m exhausted from work. Don’t bother me.”
At that moment, the alcohol turned into sweat and rushed out of every pore of my body.
In a second, my clothes were completely soaked.
“Just now… wasn’t it you?”
“What do you mean it was me or not? You’re drunk, aren’t you?” She gently pushed my head.
This push made me completely sober, but then I fell into even greater confusion. My whole head seemed to be stuck and couldn’t move.
“I won’t talk to you. I’ll go in and lie down for a while.”
Before I could stop her, she had already seen the messy bedsheet and the condom wrapper by the bedside.

I knew this couldn’t be hidden.
I could only tell her the truth, from the initial misunderstanding of mistaking Wenwan for Wenrou and force – kissing her.
To today, when Wenwan was drunk and I mistook her for Wenrou and did that thing again.
I didn’t hide a single word in the middle.
After hearing this, Wenrou’s eyes were red, and big teardrops fell down one by one.
“No, it’s not entirely my fault. Wenwan took the initiative. I didn’t expect her to take the initiative with me…”
“Slap.” I got another slap.
“Also, after that, she pretended to be you so that she could get away. Clearly, she designed all this…”
“Slap.” Another slap.
I couldn’t remember how many slaps I had received today.
This slap completely broke me down.
“Damn it, you two sisters are the same, right? You both like to slap people, right?
“I’ve said it. She seduced me. She seduced me. She pretended to be you, so I slept with her. It’s not that I really wanted to sleep with her from the beginning. I ask you, what the hell did I do wrong?”
Wenrou didn’t say anything and silently packed her things.
Yes, I should have noticed earlier. Wenrou is calm when she’s angry and doesn’t make a big fuss.
It’s not at all like the way Wenwan pretended.
And Wenrou rarely takes the initiative to do that with me. Anyway, I’m responsible for this matter.
I hugged Wenrou from behind. “Listen to me. I was really wrong about this. I apologize to you, but…”
“Let go. You’re dirty.”
She stopped packing, didn’t turn around to look at me, and her tone was as cold as the dead pork in the freezer, without any life.
If I don’t let go, she won’t resist, and I could even hold her like this for the rest of my life. But I know that the longer I hold her, the more her heart will die.
After all, I couldn’t hold her for a lifetime. By then, there would really be no room for redemption.
I watched her pack and leave.
It seemed like I was going through the same process with Wenwan again.
Why on earth is this?
Why?
Why did Wenwan seduce me? Why did she frame me? She even sacrificed her own innocence.
Was it just to take me away from her sister?
I dialed Wenwan’s phone. It was still off. She didn’t seem to like turning it on.
Now that I think about it, Wenwan is a strange woman. She comes and goes as she pleases, and her behavior has no pattern.
Could she really be in love with me?
No way. We’ve only met a few times. The most intimate thing we did was when I mistook her for someone else and force – kissed her last time.
Does she have a masochistic tendency? Did she fall in love with me after being forced?
Just when I couldn’t figure it out, I received a WeChat message from Wenwan.
“How about it, brother – in – law? Isn’t having an affair exciting?”
“Are you crazy!”
“Sleeping with the sister and then the younger sister. Isn’t that what you men dream of?”
“You’d better explain this to your sister clearly.”
“Okay. Tomorrow at 8 am, People’s Park. Let’s talk in person.”
5
The next day, Wenwan was sitting on a bench in the park, wearing a crop – top, sipping soy milk with her big eyes blinking.
“Aren’t you cold?”
She handed me the half – drunk soy milk. “Concerned about me?”
I slapped her hand away. “Cut it out.”
“Don’t want to drink? Then I’ll leave. I’ll tell my sister you forced me.” She got up to leave.
“Come back. I… I’ll drink.” I gritted my teeth in hatred.
There was her lipstick on the straw of the soy milk, and there was a faint scent of a young girl. I frowned, turned the straw around, and started drinking.
“Tell me. Why are you doing this?”
“What else could it be? Because I like you.”
“You’re talking nonsense. We’ve only met a few times.”
“How many times did you meet my sister before you fell in love with her?”
I was speechless.
“What does the number of times you meet have to do with liking someone?”
“I’m your brother – in – law!”
“You’re not married yet.”
“But I’m in a relationship with your sister.”
She stood up and straightened her chest. “I’ve looked exactly the same as my sister since I was a child, in terms of face and body. What’s wrong with me?”
I also stood up and looked directly into her eyes. “I admit your sister is beautiful, and I like her very much. But I’m definitely not with her just because she’s beautiful.”
“Oh?” She smiled and brought her lips close to my ear. “I’m better in bed than my sister. You know that.”
These words made me, a grown man, blush. “You’re really crazy.”
I threw away the soy milk and prepared to leave. “Give up. Even if I break up with your sister, I’ll never be with you.”
“If you leave, I’ll tell my mom that you slept with my sister and me. You’ll never be able to marry my sister in this lifetime.”
“Go ahead. I accept it. Break up then.”
“Then I’ll call the police and accuse you of rape.”
I stopped and glared at Wenwan. “What the hell do you want!”
“Take responsibility for me.”
“But I also slept with your sister. Who should I take responsibility for?”
“Both of us.”
“Are we going to live together, the three of us?”
“It’s not impossible.”
“Stop kidding. Your sister will kill me.”
She thought for a while. “Then just be my boyfriend.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Then… could you pretend to be my boyfriend?”
I sighed. “Miss, there are so many good men in the world. Why do you have to pester me?”
She suddenly fell silent, lowered her head, and tears welled up. “Where are the good men? Why can’t I meet any of them?”
“You will.”
Wenwan took my hand. “Brother – in – law, be my boyfriend for seven days. Just seven days. After seven days, I’ll explain to my sister myself and ensure that you two can make up. My sister loves me the most. You have to trust me.”
“Really?”
“Really. I swear. If I can’t do it after seven days, I’ll get hit by a car when I go out…”
I covered her mouth with my hand. “Okay, no need to swear. I promise you.”
She smiled, a sly smile. She licked my palm with her tongue, and I quickly withdrew my hand.
6
In order to make her help me get Wenrou back, I would almost agree to any of her conditions.
Except for that aspect. She proposed it twice, and I firmly refused. That was my bottom line.
The rest was nothing much. Just having meals, drinking, and going to the disco.
Wenrou used to like quiet places, so I didn’t often go to bars and discos. Now I go almost every day, and the noise gives me a headache every day.
“Beauty, let’s dance.”
A stranger put his hand around Wenwan’s waist.
Wenwan neither agreed nor refused. She was twisting her body wildly on the dance floor.
That man is becoming more and more brazen, and the place where he’s holding her is getting lower and lower.
Anyway, Wenwan is Wenrou’s sister. I walked over and slapped the man’s hand away. “Brother, keep your hands clean.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“I’m her brother.”
Wenwan retorted. “He’s my boyfriend.”
“Damn, you have a boyfriend and you’re still acting like a slut here?” The man waved his hand angrily and left.
“What the hell did you say? Say it again.”
Wenwan stopped me. “See? I told you I can’t meet good men.”
“What kind of good men can you meet here?”
“Then where should I go?”
I thought for a while. “Go… go to the amusement park.”
The next day, I took her to the amusement park. She played on the carousel, the pirate ship, and the roller coaster.
She was laughing like a child.
I found that she was really changeable. She was enchanting like a beauty in the nightclub, and innocent like a child in the amusement park.
“Here.”
I took the ice – cream from her hand. “Is this your first time here?”
“First time. It’s so much fun.”
I took a lick of the cone. It was a bit cold. “I brought your sister here once. She was too scared to play anything and wouldn’t let me eat ice – cream, saying it would give me a stomachache.”
She waved her hand. “My sister is so stubborn. Don’t mind her. Take me here in the future.”
I smiled. “It’s already the fourth day, you know. Only three days left.”
“You’re such a killjoy.”
“Where do you want to go tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow I want to visit your company.”
“What for?” I was quite surprised.
“None of your business.”
I couldn’t argue with her, so I took her to my workplace.
Some colleagues had met Wenrou and thought she was the one coming to the company. They greeted her with smiles.
Wenwan didn’t correct them and responded to everyone enthusiastically.
Colleagues said my girlfriend was in a good mood today and was so talkative.
I was quite busy at work. After telling her to stay quiet and not cause trouble, I started working.
In less than an hour, she slapped a woman hard. That woman was my direct supervisor.
7
“What are you doing?” I ran over and stopped Wenwan’s hand that was about to slap again.
“She insulted me.” The woman pouted as if she was the one who got wronged.
“Who the hell insulted you?” After regaining her senses, the supervisor seemed to go crazy and tried to pull Wenwan’s hair.
Wenwan dodged sideways and gave her another loud slap. “You’re so ungrateful. I didn’t even want to hit you, but you just came asking for it.”
The boss frowned and walked over. “What’s going on?”
“She, Wang Heshan’s girlfriend, hit me.” The supervisor complained.
“Then tell me why I hit you?”
The supervisor fell silent.
“You said no wonder Heshan’s work efficiency has been low recently, that he was bewitched by a vixen and even brought her to work. You thought I couldn’t hear you with your low voice, right?”
“Don’t make a scene in the company, Heshan. Deal with your girlfriend yourself.”
I nodded repeatedly.
“A lousy boss, pretending to be important.” Wenwan didn’t show any respect to the boss and directly confronted him.
The boss didn’t argue with Wenwan. He glared at me, and his meaning was clear: give me a solution.
Wenwan stood in front of me, blocking the boss’s sight. “I say, how do you run this company? You don’t care when the manager bullies the lower – level employees?”
The boss was stunned.
“That bitch.”
She pointed at the slapped female supervisor.
“She assigned tasks to Heshan at around 12 o’clock at night. Is it going to kill her to talk about it the next day?
“And the tasks she assigned weren’t even what Heshan should do. She was just dumping her own work. Why do you keep such a useless person?”
“You… how do you know?” Although I had been with Wenwan these days, I didn’t expect her to be so observant.
“You were working overtime at the bar. Do you think I didn’t see it?”
I was silent. Wenrou would definitely not notice these things.
“Also, you’ve already found another job, right? Since you’re leaving anyway, why endure this crap? You’re not convenient to hit a girl, so I’ll do it for you.”
“How do you know everything?” I had a face full of consternation.
“Are you going to quit?” the boss asked me.
“Right. What’s there to miss in this shitty company with a shitty boss and a shitty supervisor?” Wenwan cut in.
“Go to the HR department. Leave right now.”
Outside the company, it was drizzling.
I was holding my office supplies in both hands, and Wenwan was holding an umbrella for me.
“Did you come to the company today just for this?”
“Yeah. Otherwise, what for? To have fun?”
I nodded, feeling quite emotional. “How do you know everything?”
“I’m not blind. These days, you haven’t been eating or having fun well. It’s all because of this stupid thing. I only saw you smile a bit when you found a suitable new job.”
She seemed to be showing off as she kept talking. “Since you’re leaving anyway, you might as well vent your anger. And this way, you can leave faster, saving the one – month notice period.”
I wanted to reach out and tap her nose, but I lost my grip, and the documents fell all over the ground.
“Don’t move. If you move, more will fall.”
She bent down and picked up the documents one by one. Looking at her long hair wet by the rain, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.
She was more attentive than Wenrou, more enthusiastic, and more concerned about me.
She might be a good girlfriend, I thought. But then I quickly shook my head, getting rid of this unrealistic thought.
Three days later, on another rainy day, this time I was holding the umbrella for her.
The seven – day period of me being her boyfriend came to an end.
She smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t break my promise. I’ll explain everything clearly to my sister.”
I nodded.
She hugged my waist tightly, rubbing her head hard against my chest, as if trying to remember the smell of my body.
This time, I didn’t push her away. I gently patted her back.
Wenwan didn’t ask me to see her off. She took a taxi and left.
For the next month, neither of the sisters contacted me.
Just when I was about to forget about them and start my life anew, I received a WeChat message from Wenrou.
“I’m pregnant.”
For a moment, I didn’t know how to face this.
Before going to bed, Wenwan sent me the exact same four words.
8
When I came to my senses, I replied to Wenwan’s message first.
“Impossible. We… took precautions that time.”
“??? You don’t want to be responsible?”
“No, miss. I wore a condom. How could you get pregnant?”
“Is wearing a condom definitely safe? Couldn’t it leak? Believe it or not, you’re the only one I’ve had a relationship with.”
Damn!
I threw my phone hard at the wall. God, you really want to kill me.
How was I supposed to explain this to both of them, and to their parents?
The next day, I bought a new phone. As soon as I logged into WeChat, there were 99 + messages.
Wenrou only sent me one sentence.
“Ignoring me? I never thought you were such a person. I’ll have the baby. It has nothing to do with you.”
I wanted to reply, but she had already blocked me.
The rest were mostly from Wenwan.
From initial doubts, to cursing, to crying, and finally to despair.
Those days, I was in a daze. There was another drunkard in the corner of the bar.
How many days hadn’t I eaten? Three days? Four days?
I drank until I vomited violently every day, then got up and continued drinking. Later, I even started spitting blood.
In a daze, someone pulled me up, put my arm over their shoulder, and carried me out of the bar with difficulty.
Who was it?
Wenrou or Wenwan?
In the taxi, it seemed like all the gods were chanting in my ears: “In this world, there is no way to be both loyal to love and to the Buddha… “
It was impossible to be responsible for both of them at the same time. But if I was still a man, I had to be responsible for at least one of them.
Which one should I be responsible for?
Wenrou and I were the original couple. I should be responsible for her, but now she hated me to the core.
Wenwan was actually a victim. If I hadn’t force – kissed her that day, none of this would have happened.
But this would be unfair to Wenrou.
I turned my head and looked at that familiar face, her anxious expression and slightly resentful eyes. I smiled.
Whoever took me out of the bar tonight, I would be responsible for her. At least, she cared about me.
That night, I didn’t know if the one I was intimate with was Wenwan or Wenrou.
I only remembered that when we got home, she cried first. I held her and kissed her.
The next thing I remembered, we were already in bed.
That night, she seemed to want to vent all the grievances in her heart, or perhaps to claim her sovereignty in this way, showing that I was hers.
I was also very unrestrained. Maybe I also wanted to decide on the person to take care of for a lifetime through this.
Ironically, I didn’t even know whose body I was entangled with all night, Wenrou’s or Wenwan’s.
9
I woke up thirsty. I gulped down a big glass of water and stared at the cup in a daze.
I fell asleep right after we were done yesterday. She must have put this glass of water by the bedside for me.
The one who could be so attentive was most likely Wenwan.
I snuggled into the quilt and put my arms around her waist from behind. She let out a happy murmur but didn’t wake up.
I also fell asleep again.
When the sun’s rays pierced my eyes like sharp swords.
She was lying with her back to me, her bare back exposed, and her whole body bathed in the sunlight.
“Wenwan?” I asked tentatively.
She turned her head and smiled. “You finally got the right person.”
“Wenwan, marry me. I’ll marry you and we’ll take care of the baby together.”
“Okay.”
We have a tacit understanding; neither of us said of Wenrou.
10
When I arrived at Wenwan’s house, I was extremely nervous.
My whole body was shaking.
Fortunately, Wenrou wasn’t there. Otherwise, I would really lose face.
I guessed Wenwan deliberately brought me here when her sister was out.
“Uncle, Aunt, hello.”
“Hello, hello. Have a seat first.”
Wenwan’s parents were neither overly warm nor cold to me. Looking around, I felt there was something strange about her house, but I couldn’t tell exactly what.
“Uh, did she leave?” I asked Wenwan, and she nodded.
When the two elders heard my words, their expressions became even weirder, a mix of embarrassment, confusion, and a bit of anger. “Left, left.”
Did they know about the mess between me and the two sisters?
I quickly changed the subject and started complimenting Aunt on how young she looked.
Wenwan’s parents invited me to have dinner. After that, I quickly said goodbye and left the room as if fleeing, for fear of running into Wenrou.
“What are you afraid of?”
“It’s not good if we meet.”
“Sooner or later, you have to face it, right? When we get married, my sister will definitely come, won’t she?”
Sighing, I thought about the baby in Wenrou’s belly. What should I do?
She was determined to have the baby, but how could she raise it? And how much gossip would she have to endure?
Ask her to abort it? But what right did I have to give her such advice?
After getting into a relationship with Wenwan, I never saw Wenrou again. She was always avoiding me.
Looking at the big red exclamation mark on WeChat, I felt a mix of emotions.
This month, I focused on my work, trying to forget this unpleasant memory as soon as possible.
Until I saw Wenwan in a nightclub.
A man was hugging her waist, kissing her neck, and she was enjoying it, closing her eyes and twisting her body passionately, not caring about the baby in her belly at all.
11
“What are you doing?”
“None of your business.”
“I’m your boyfriend. Who else should care?”
She laughed, a sinister laugh. “Oh right, you’re my boyfriend. Well, let’s break up now. There, you have no right to care about me anymore.”
I was stunned on the spot, and then a wave of anger welled up in my chest.
I grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the nightclub.
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything. I just wanted to take you away from my sister. That’s all.” She said it nonchalantly.
“Why? Why are you doing this!” I roared, scaring the passers – by.
“Don’t think I don’t know. You’ve always liked my sister. With me, it was just a physical relationship.”
“I admit, at first, I really liked your sister. But after getting along with you for so long…” When I looked up, she had already walked far away and wasn’t listening to me.
I went to the bar I often visited again.
When I sat down, a girl in the corner was drunk.
I walked over. “Wenrou?”
She smiled, waved her hand, and motioned me to sit down.
“Drinking so much is not good for the baby.”
“Hey, who are you? Why do you care about me?” She waved her hand in front of my eyes. “Are you okay?”
I heard this sentence for the second time today, and it’s really bothering me. “How come you’re here?”
“You can get drunk here. Why can’t I?”
“I drink because…”
Wait!
How did she know I was getting drunk here?
Wenrou never drank before, and I never told her I had been drinking in this bar. How did she know?
A flash of lightning seemed to cross my eyes, and I almost fainted.
A fact I didn’t want to admit was right in front of me.
12
“It was you that day, wasn’t it?
“I was vomiting blood from drinking that day. It was you who took me home, right?
“You took me home and then left. Afraid that something would happen to me, you called Wenwan here, right?”
I shook her shoulders like crazy.
Her eyes were red, and she was crying. “Does it matter? Do these things still matter now?”
“Why? Why didn’t you tell me!”
I also broke down, grabbing my hair and crying.
It was Wenrou who cared about me, took care of me.
It was Wenrou who took me home, and it was Wenrou who put the glass of water by the bedside. Only the one who had sex with me that night was Wenwan.
And Wenwan just wanted to take me away from her sister and then dump me.
First, I took Wenrou home. When Aunt asked me why she was so drunk, I didn’t answer.
With red and bloodshot eyes, I searched for Wenwan’s figure in various nightclubs all night, but I couldn’t find her.
The next day at dawn, Wenwan came to my house on her own.
Her face was full of viciousness and provocation.
“I actually don’t like you at all. Really. All those behaviors were just an act.
“I’ve hated my sister since I was a child. She had everything, and I had nothing. So, I wanted to take everything from her. Once I got it, I’d throw it away. I didn’t want to possess them. I just wanted to see her lose. You’re the same.
“I just wanted to take revenge on her. I wanted to make her suffer. I hate her. She owes me all this!”
Wenwan became more and more excited. It took her a long time to calm down.
“But you’re not at a loss either. Sleeping with both the sister and the younger sister. Isn’t this the kind of good fortune that you men dream of?” She stroked my head, like stroking a dog.
“What exactly happened between you two? You seemed to have a good relationship. Why do you hate your sister so much?”
“Want to know?” She lifted my chin with her index finger. The gesture was both ambiguous and sexy. “Maybe in the next life.”
Since Wenwan wouldn’t say, I decided to ask Wenrou.
When I got to her house, only Uncle and Aunt were there.
“Aunt, where’s Wenrou?”
She was startled. “Wenrou went out early in the morning.”
“What about Wenwan?”
“Wenwan… Wenwan has been dead for a long time.”
13
Dead… Dead?
Then who had I been in contact with for so long? Who had I had a sexual relationship with?
A gust of wind blew out from Wenwan’s bedroom, cold and creepy, making me shiver.
“Heshan, Heshan, are you okay?”
“No… no… “
I trembled as I took out my phone. “Aunt, look, this is Wenwan’s WeChat. Look, I still have her… her phone number. I’ll call her. Listen…”
I dialed the number, but no one answered.
Aunt looked at me in disbelief, suspecting that there was something wrong with my mind.
“And, there’s the Moments. Look, this is Wenwan’s Moments. Look, isn’t this her bedroom?”
I rushed into the room without even taking off my shoes.
I compared the photos on my phone with the furniture in the bedroom.
“Look, this photo was taken right here, at this angle. Aunt, look, I’m not lying to you.”
I crouched in the corner, muttering to myself.
“How could it be? How could she be dead? It’s impossible.”
“Son, don’t scare me.” Aunt helped me up, took my phone, and frowned as she looked at it. “It really is my house. What’s going on?”
I felt like I had fallen into hell. I was stuck in a quagmire, and no matter how much I struggled, I couldn’t get out.
The room was filled with a cold draft, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
Wenrou, right. Wenrou must know.
Finding Wenrou would help me figure out what was going on.
I snatched the phone from Aunt’s hand and rushed out of the door.
“Child, oh, child, wait a moment…”
14
In the car, Aunt called me.
I didn’t say a word the whole time, just listened in silence.
15
I found Wenrou by the riverside. She was wearing a windbreaker, looking at the glistening waves in the river.
“Wenrou.”
She turned her head upon hearing my voice. Seeing it was me, she coldly turned back.
“Aren’t you going to accompany Wenwan? What are you doing here with me?”
“Wenrou, there is no Wenwan. Wenwan is dead.”
16
“Impossible. My sister isn’t dead. My sister is fine. You’re a liar.”
I held her shoulders and forced her to look into my eyes.
“There is no Wenwan. Wenwan is dead. She’s dead.”
“Impossible!”
“Then tell me, how long has it been since you last saw your sister?”
She stared blankly, as if in deep thought. “It seems like… a long time.”
“I’ve never seen you two together at the same time. There are no photos of you two in your home. Have you ever thought about why?
“You can call her now, call her every day. No one will answer for sure.”
She stared at me blankly. “Why?”
“Because you are Wenwan. Your sister is a figment of your imagination. Wenwan died when you were six years old.”
“Dead?”
She almost fell, and I quickly caught her in my arms.
On the hospital bed, Wenrou was still in a coma. Her parents were on their way to the hospital.
And I was still thinking about everything her mother had told me.
17
Wenrou was indeed a twin, and she did have a sister named Wenwan.
When they were six years old, they were in a serious car accident. What was even more terrifying was that both sisters had a rare blood type.
The hospital didn’t have enough plasma, so they could only save one person first, and the other had to wait for the blood bank from another hospital to make the transfer.
The doctor kept urging the parents to make a decision, otherwise both would be in danger.
After much hesitation, the couple decided to save the elder sister, who was more severely injured.
By the time the plasma arrived, the younger sister had already passed away.
The parents were heartbroken, but they still had a child to raise, so they had to force themselves to move on from their grief.
Wenrou grew up slowly. She was just a bit introverted, and usually, there were no signs of any psychological problems. It was only when I appeared that her parents started to notice something was wrong.
In the car, I called a doctor friend. After hearing my description, he said it was very likely a case of split – personality disorder.
Because of Wenrou’s sense of guilt towards her sister, a secondary personality emerged, which was her sister, Wenwan.
The primary personality always regarded her secondary personality as her sister and constantly gave herself subconscious hints that her sister was not dead.
And the secondary personality, as the sister, was also influenced by the psychological hints of the primary personality, believing that her sister owed her and that her sister had treated her unfairly.
So, she wanted to take everything her sister had, including me.
Fundamentally, the secondary personality thought that the primary personality had taken her life.
This also explained why both of them seemed to be pregnant at the same time and why they both liked to leave suddenly and then come back.
They needed to switch personalities.
My friend told me to take Wenrou to a psychologist as soon as possible. Treatment with medication would make her recover faster.
Knowing all this, I cried loudly.
The emotions that had been pent – up for so long could finally be released. The recent pressure had almost driven me crazy.
Thank goodness, thank goodness.
They were actually the same person. There was only one child, and it was mine. And the person I had been sharing a bed with had always been the same person.
I no longer had to endure the judgment of morality and the torture of human nature.

I looked at the sunflower on the windowsill. It swayed its head as if no matter what happened, it would greet the sun with a smile the next day.
“Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang.”
“Ah? Oh.”
The psychologist came out of the treatment room with Wenrou. “Today’s treatment is over. Ms. Luo’s condition has improved a lot. Her secondary personality will disappear completely soon.”
“Thank you so much, doctor.” I bowed to the doctor.
“What were you looking at just now?” Wenrou took my arm.
“Looking at the flowers.”
“What’s so interesting about sunflowers? You look at it every time we come. You’ve been looking at it for a month.”
“It looks so cute with its head tilted, just like you.”
19
This month, I was very happy.
One thing was that the doctor told me Wenrou’s split – personality disorder had been completely cured, and she no longer needed any further treatment.
The other thing…
Wenrou and I were going to get married, and we had been preparing for the wedding.
“Mr. Wang Heshan, do you take the bride to be your wife? Will you love and protect her, through poverty or wealth, in health or illness?”
“I do!” I said loudly, looking at Wenrou’s smiling face, I smiled happily too.
“Ms. Luo Wenrou, do you take the groom to be your husband? Will you love and take care of him, through poverty or wealth, in health or illness?”
“I… I’d like to correct that. My name is Luo Wenwan.”
The emcee looked completely stunned, repeatedly checking the cue cards in his hand.
A chill shot straight to my forehead. I was like being frozen, my whole body trembling violently.
I watched as the expression on the woman opposite changed from happiness to vicious resentment, but I was completely helpless.
She leaned close to my ear and whispered softly.
“It’s been so tiring to pretend. Thanks to you and the psychologist, now my sister is completely dead. Thank you.”
(The End)
