Chapter 1 Double Life

2022, Jinping City.

Jiang Qian takes a lunch break until he wakes up naturally to adjust for the side effects caused by watching movies all night long.

He faced the setting sun outside the window and sat up calmly. The time on his watch showed 16:58.

very good.

This shows that the women in the family are fulfilling their duties and enjoying themselves.

Jiang Qian put on his slippers, moved his shoulders briefly, stood up and walked around the big bed. When he passed by the full-length mirror, he looked at himself in the mirror.

Wearing a simple light-colored shirt and dark casual pants, his fair and handsome face looks more and more like his father when he was young.

But his deep eyes and too sharp gaze when he was concentrating were far from his father's gentleness.

This exposure to reality is fleeting.

Before Jiang Qian walked out of the room, he calmed down and put on an approachable face.

Push open the bedroom door.

A piece of yoga music with a classical temperament and purifying the soul came from the living room.

Jiang Qian turned around and saw his sister Yu Xuan, a proud woman whose appearance, talent and talents dazzle the entertainment industry in Beijing, was on the yoga mat, calmly stretching her body into various amazing postures.

Her long, thick and slightly curly hair is tied behind her head, her limbs are slender, and her skin is as delicate as white porcelain. It conforms to the flexible yoga fabric and outlines a tight and convex figure.

It seems to be showing off the proud body proportions and various... possibilities.

Yu Xuan is 26 years old this year. He once played the second female lead in a popular drama and became famous. The whole drama overshadowed the heroine. He won an award that year and was reluctant to do so.

As a result, this woman suddenly quit the industry when her career was on the rise!

The reason is: the aristocratic circle is too chaotic, and a simple-minded, weak and kind-hearted girl like my sister will definitely not be able to play with those goblins.

This makes no sense. It's obvious that she is more like the goblin who is difficult to deal with.

But before the family had time to worry about this, Yu Xuan had already quickly registered his own yoga studio brand and started a business... and gave classes in person, using the star effect to make a lot of money!

At present, there are hundreds of branches in first-tier cities across the country. The simple and kind-hearted sister has finally lived the life of a rich woman who does not know the price of food, rice, oil and salt.

By the way, she is still a celibate, a shameful unmarried person who is not prepared to contribute to the reproduction of the race!

At the moment, Yu Xuan majestically occupies the center of the living room. The Rizhao Jinshan painting on the sofa background wall complements the fire-patterned gold-plated yoga mat under her body.

With her favorite color tones, it presents a certain visual aggression.

It makes sense... Jiang Qian secretly said.

After all, the entire house is in this woman's name.

At this time, there were two other women living in the house.

Jiang Qian glanced into the dense kitchen and could see the hard-working figure of his aunt Jiang Chuntao, plump and capable.

This food blogger who lives in her mother's house likes to show off her skills in the kitchen.

However, her cooking skills are very flexible, and she often comes up with some indescribable dishes that are difficult to taste.

As the only man in the family, Jiang Qian is almost invulnerable to all poisons.

The other side of the house.

The study room, which had been lit up early, showed that Grandma Jiang, who had spent her whole life teaching and educating people, was reviewing today's newspaper.

Without getting too close, Jiang Qian could imagine that the seventy-year-old man was reading the eye-catching passages in the newspaper word for word, concentrating on them while wearing convex lenses.

In this way, at dinner time, she could show off her unique dignity as a middle school teacher and demonstrate her knowledge to the whole family in her usual preaching tone.

Um……

At that time, aunt's dark cuisine will be condemned, and Yu Xuan will be whipped for not eating the fireworks of the world.

And he, the flawless only son, will receive praise.

The corners of Jiang Qian's mouth raised.

He leaned on the porch and refocused on his sister's movements...

At the same time, in his concise and orderly brain, he quickly adjusted the interaction mode in the corresponding scene.

The occurrence of such a thought process does not mean that Jiang Qian is an AI with no emotions, or a high-dimensional creature that is lurking in the crowd to observe and study humans.

Jiang Qian is a real human being - studying at Jinping University as an undergraduate in the School of Life Sciences.

Majoring in flora and fauna, minoring in the fields of evolution and ecology. Now in my third year of college, I am still single.

But he is not a complete human being.

Twelve years ago, an accident caused him to suffer from a complex and rare emotional disorder.

In layman's terms, it means that you have almost lost the perception of some emotions and cannot give normal feedback - of course, because you can't feel it, you can't naturally feedback it.

Including but not limited to: guilt, fear, sadness.

The overall diagnosis and examination process is very complicated. The high-end medical institution commissioned by the Jiang family once proposed the following ideas:

1. Weak guilt perception, which means that the patient lacks the proper sense of guilt when doing unreasonable and excessive actions (such as injuries and violations) - the doctor has highlighted this article*.

2. Weak perception of fear means that the patient's personality will gradually transform into unruly and unruly. Authority will no longer awe him, weirdness and violence will not deter him, and those seemingly insurmountable boundaries will no longer be effective on him.

constraints.

3. Weak perception of sadness means that when faced with negative stimuli such as losses and failures, patients may have calmness and tenacity that are different from ordinary people.

Note: Due to the lack of the above empathy ability, the patient may not be able to build a deeper intimate relationship with others. Such people can easily go to extremes and may become hero heroes or the opposite of society - it is recommended to be hospitalized for observation. However,

This suggestion was rejected by Jiang Family Lafayette with one vote.

As good and bad come together, what Jiang Qian "lost" was compensated on the other hand:

His powers of observation and memory seemed to have broken through certain limitations and became extremely sharp.

His super powers of observation gave him a thinking model that was different from ordinary people. His vision, filled with a large number of vivid details and the trajectory of the development and changes of things, opened the door to a new world for him.

What's even more exaggerated is that as long as Jiang Qian is willing, any information that can be captured by his senses can be clearly and accurately recorded in a way that he understands.

This part of memory is not "eroded" by the forgetting curve. Like a well-protected crime scene, it is stored concisely and orderly in the archives of his memory palace, ready for exploration and recall at any time.

The comprehensive expression of the above "gains and losses" is: compared with his peers, he has become more ruthless, contemptuous of rules, and good at using strategies to achieve his goals.

Such "symptoms" almost caused Jiang Qian to lose the opportunity to receive education.

Faced with such a rare patient, even the brain experts in Beijing are having a headache.

It is necessary to mention here that Jiang Qian's grandfather, who passed away due to a plane crash, was a famous brain specialist in Jinping City during his lifetime. It was precisely because of this relationship that the Jiang family found the best experts in Beijing for consultation.

It can be seen that the whole family never abandons Jiang Qian, never gives up, and does their best.

However, while the whole family was racking their brains and going through fire and water, Jiang Qian miraculously... returned to normal.

It's like a new person: he no longer speaks plausibly in the face of authority, he is no longer keen on chopping up animal carcasses, and he no longer beats classmates who are unhappy with him until they are bloody and bloody, but he seems to have no psychological burden...

Although there was no increase or decrease in the shadow of the brain-damaged area, Jiang Qian's behavior had indeed changed.

No one can explain the reason for this change.

In Jiang Qian's own words, he found a way to peacefully coexist with the world.

The child wants to be a good person.

Here I want to lament the greatness of family education.

Jiang Qian, who comes from a scholarly family, relied on his self-awareness to actively bridge the differences between himself and ordinary people.

Through continuous and large-scale observation, he learned the interaction patterns between people, combined with his own characteristics, added some creative expressions, and summarized and established a set of basic "safe" behavior patterns.

Then, within the scope permitted by legal and ethical conditions, repeatedly practice, verify and strengthen this "safety" model.

In this way, Jiang Qian mastered the skill of pretending to be a normal person at an astonishing speed.

After changing schools and moving house once, the abnormality was completely covered up.

Almost everyone who came into contact with him later would praise him and his family for being smart, funny, reasonable and tolerant, and that he would definitely have great potential in the future.

His family is gradually getting used to his "normality"...well, maybe except for his mother.

After all, the accident caused his mother to lose her husband.

In fact, his mother's attitude towards him changed after Jiang Qian initially behaved abnormally.

As a well-known contemporary painter, she draws materials from all over the world all year round and is willing to give up her family and devote herself to art.

This reason barely makes sense.

But only Jiang Qian knew that his mother was afraid of him.

During the occasional reunions, his mother always tried to avoid being alone with him, even though he was only a teenage boy at the time.

Fortunately, Jiang Qian didn't feel sad because of this, he lost the related emotions.
