I Truly Only Have One Wife

She Is Still Just a Child!

Chapter 36

She Is Still Just a Child!

When a knock sounded at the door, Su Yuqing said eagerly, "I'll get it!"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Long Wu standing there as if ready for battle.

"Sister Su!" Long Wu was shocked.

"Are you that surprised to see me?" Su Yuqing smiled smugly. "There's no other way. Who told you that you had to work? My time is relatively free. Little Shen couldn't handle things, so he called me over."

"You know everything?"

"Yes, and Xiaodie is quite fun to play with now," Su Yuqing chuckled, slipping out the door. "It's your turn to visit. I won't interfere. Bye."

Fun?

Long Wu entered and saw Shen Fu using one large hand to hold Bai Xiaodie's head back. In his other hand was a bag of snacks, while Xiaodie was flailing her arms, trying to grab them. "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

"No! You've already eaten too much. Little kids shouldn't keep eating snacks!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll have my dad cut your salary!"

"Even if I get fired, I won't let you eat this. I bought this with my own money!"

"Waaah! Bullying a child! Is anyone going to help? Is anyone going to help?!"

She wailed twice without shedding a single tear, then she spotted Long Wu.

"Auntie, who are you?"

"Auntie?" Long Wu narrowed her eyes, her mind racing with theories.

Shen Fu handed the snacks back to her. "Eat, eat. Long Wu, come with me."

Shen Fu pulled Long Wu into the study. She kept looking back, seeing Bai Xiaodie curled up on the sofa, angrily munching on snacks.

Once in the study, Long Wu pointed outside. "A child personality?"

"Yeah, four or five years old. Hated by humans and dogs alike. She's nothing like my Xiaodie. She even wet her pants just now~" Shen Fu, unable to contain his frustration, revealed Ke Ke Ai Ai's embarrassing moment as a form of revenge.

Long Wu laughed and patted Shen Fu's shoulder. "You're so impatient. And you wanted to have a child with Xiaodie? Where's that 'fatherly love like a mountain'?"

"If Xiaodie and I had a child, they definitely wouldn't be like this. This one was clearly spoiled rotten~" Shen Fu had actually been following Su Yuqing's advice to maintain a good relationship with the "little friend," but her constant snacking was too much to bear.

Snacks are meant to be eaten occasionally. How could she not stop for a single second? If she kept this up, she'd end up fatter than Bai Shanshan, which wouldn't be good for her health.

Long Wu rubbed her chin. "Maybe this is what Xiaodie was like as a child~"

"How is that possible? Xiaodie was already helping the family raise pigs at five years old~"

"What about before five?~"

Shen Fu was stunned for a moment.

Long Wu continued, "According to Xiaodie's description, her father seemed to be relatively wealthy before he died, though she doesn't remember the details clearly. Maybe this personality is a reflection of her memories of that abandoned childhood."

Shen Fu thought for a moment. "This little girl mentioned she has a grandmother. Xiaodie also said she seems to remember a grandmother who loved her very much."

Long Wu snapped her fingers. "Then she's very useful for us to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Xiaodie's childhood. What's her name?"

"Ke Ke Ai Ai."

"Is that an adjective?"

"That's just what she's called. We can consider her Bai Keke."

"Does she know her parents' names?"

"Dad is called Papa, and Mom is called Mama~" Shen Fu replied.

Long Wu narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you think the personality X that Xiaodie discovered before—the one who deleted the video of personality X and drew on the glass—could be her?"

"If it's not her, who else could it be? She doesn't know how to use a phone; it's very likely she accidentally deleted a video~"

"Don't go out yet. I'll talk to her for a bit."

Long Wu went out and pulled up a picture on her phone. "Little friend, did you draw this?"

"Ah! This is Papa, this is Mama, and this is me!" Ke Ke Ai Ai said happily, recognizing the meaning in the drawing at a glance.

"So you drew this?"

"No~ It's so ugly!" She shook her head. "Auntie, who are you exactly? Did Papa send you to pick me up?"

Long Wu turned back into the study and said to Shen Fu, "Bai Xiaodie doesn't have Nine Personalities. It's at least Ten!"

"What!" Shen Fu looked at Long Wu blankly. Ten... Ten Personalities?

He felt the weight on his shoulders clearly grow heavier.

Long Wu said, "This drawing wasn't done by Bai Keke. It was someone else!"

"Could it be Bai Kao'er, Bai Shanshan, or one of the other personalities that have already appeared?"

"They don't even have memories of Xiaodie's biological parents. How could they accurately draw this?"

Long Wu had a point. Shen Fu thought for a moment, cursed under his breath, and said, "I don't care how many personalities she has or how many there are. This is my wife, and I'm responsible for her to the end! Now you just need to tell me how to live with a four or five-year-old brat! Also, can I try touching that 'electric button' to summon my Xiaodie back?"

"Shen Fu," Long Wu looked at him in shock, "She is still just a child!"

"Hey, don't look at me like that," Shen Fu said, a bit embarrassed. "I'm just asking for your advice. If you don't let me do it, I definitely won't."

"You beast!" Long Wu criticized. "How about letting her stay with me? I've looked after my brother's child before, a little girl about that age. I have experience."

"Forget it," Shen Fu scoffed. "I even had to find Sister Su just to give her a bath. Do you think I'd feel safe leaving her with you?"

"Sigh, where is the basic trust between people?~" Long Wu expressed her disappointment in humanity. "Fine, fine, raise her yourself. When you two start fighting like cats and dogs, I'll come to pick up the pieces."

"That won't do. You have to help me. She's convinced she's a wealthy heiress and I'm her bodyguard. Now she's waiting to go back to her big house! If you leave, I won't be able to handle it. You'll force me to use that trick!"

Long Wu also hoped Shen Fu could continue observing Ke Ke Ai Ai to dig up more information about Xiaodie's childhood.

"A four or five-year-old personality is hard to deal with. People like President Bai are adults the moment they step out; they can quickly analyze the current situation of themselves and others in the same body, then try to communicate and recognize their identity. But this little kid can't. At her age, she simply can't understand. Reasoning with her is useless."

Shen Fu suggested, "She feels she's a four or five-year-old child. What if we let her look in the mirror? Would that wake her up?"

"That's an amateur's thought," Long Wu scoffed. "In her eyes, what she sees is a four or five-year-old girl. What use is a mirror? Even if you put her next to a real four or five-year-old child, she'd still feel she's just like them."

"Then what should we do? We can't actually find her a pair of parents and play along, can we?"

Long Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Does she know how to read?"

"She's illiterate. Even addition and subtraction within ten is a struggle," Shen Fu said, recalling his earlier test.

"Not bad," Long Wu patted Shen Fu's shoulder, giving him affirmation. "Then next, let's enjoy the joy of crushing an illiterate with our superior IQ!"
