After Entering a Romance Reality Show Disguised as a Man to Win Over All the Female Leads - Chapter 25.2

After Doctor Lin finished explaining, she let out a long breath of relief.

“Excessive emotional fluctuations can cause resonance among the patient’s consciousness bodies, prompting fusion and increasing individual consciousness. The scene you saw proves that the direction of our attempt is correct.”

She smiled and said, “So the next step is to further trigger Lian Langsheng’s emotional fluctuations. This should not be difficult for you. Lian Langsheng’s consciousness bodies all have extremely high favorability toward you. You have not even done much yet, and they already like you very much. Next, as long as you continue trying to make them jealous, we may make very good progress.”

Doctor Lin’s tone was relaxed, but Rong Yu instantly thought of the reactions of Lin Mengxing and the others while she was going through the scripts. For a moment, her heart seemed to be struck, and a tingling, numbing sensation spread from her chest throughout her body.

During the first round of games in the program team, she had not been certain about Lian Langsheng’s feelings for her. But the undeniable emotions in the second round were simply too abundant.

She could finally confirm that the close friend she had always secretly loved liked her too!

This discovery moved her heart even more than every previous contact with Lian Langsheng’s different consciousness bodies.

Rong Yu could even feel the powerful beating in her chest, making her fingertips go numb with it.

She said softly, “Then should I go back to the brain world?”

“Wait,” Doctor Lin said, adjusting the thin-framed glasses on her nose. “I called you out while the consciousness bodies’ emotions were fluctuating because there is one more thing.”

Her expression was not grave, but compared to before, there was now a little more seriousness. Rong Yu could not help becoming nervous too.

“What is it?”

Then she heard Doctor Lin say, “Recently, during this period, we detected a new fluctuation frequency inside Lian Langsheng’s consciousness body.”

For a moment, Rong Yu felt as if she had not understood what Doctor Lin was saying.

“…?”

Doctor Lin sighed and helplessly spread her hands.

“The reason I haven’t contacted you these past few days is also because of this.”

“Do you remember what the content of your fifth novel was?” Doctor Lin looked at her and asked.

Rong Yu froze, then quickly searched her memory.

But too much time had passed, and she had written many kinds of novels. For a moment, she could not remember, so she blankly shook her head.

Doctor Lin took out her phone and opened an e-book, waving it in front of Rong Yu.

“This one?”

Rong Yu raised her eyes to look at the screen.

What entered her sight was a purely sweet short romance novel. The entire work was only a little over two hundred thousand words, filled from beginning to end with sugary love.

Her memories instantly returned.

Rong Yu remembered that after writing many plot-driven novels, she had specially started this short romance piece.

First, because after writing so many plot-heavy stories, she had wanted to try a sweet route.

Second… because she had almost been unable to suppress her feelings of love for her closest friend and could only write a romance novel to imagine things for herself.

The female lead in this book was gentle and beautiful. She was the image Rong Yu had imagined Lian Langsheng would look like after marrying her.

Hearing Doctor Lin mention this book, Rong Yu was puzzled.

“What’s wrong with this book?”

Doctor Lin shook her head. “There’s nothing wrong with the book. It’s the person who’s a little problematic. When we previously detected consciousness bodies, sometimes there would be consciousnesses other than those four main consciousness bodies. But the brain world itself is built from consciousness bodies, so this situation is very normal. It’s just that recently, a certain consciousness body has appeared more and more frequently. By the time you woke up, the brain-scene image frequency of this consciousness body had already reached the same level as the other main consciousness bodies.”

Doctor Lin paused.

“In other words, Miss Rong, a fifth consciousness body has appeared.”

“What?!”

Rong Yu could hardly believe it.

“I know this may be somewhat difficult for you to accept. I was not sure at first either, so I woke you only after finding sufficient evidence,” Doctor Lin said gently, her eyes calm and indifferent, like a quiet river.

“When consciousness bodies began merging just now, the instrument detected the existence of five consciousness bodies.”

Rong Yu: “……”

“But you don’t need to worry. The fifth consciousness body is very stable and temporarily poses no threat to Miss Lian’s consciousness safety,” Doctor Lin said. “However, the existence of a new consciousness body means more main consciousness bodies may appear. We suspect that if you do not wake Miss Lian as soon as possible, she may very likely develop even more new main consciousness bodies. Once too many main consciousness bodies appear, it will affect the brain and mind. Even if she wakes up, there may be nerve damage and mental problems, such as dissociative identity disorder.”

Rong Yu took a deep breath.

“So who is the fifth consciousness body?”

This time, Doctor Lin did not answer.

“I don’t know either. But…”

Rong Yu raised a brow.

Doctor Lin said, “She will appear soon. Remember to pay attention to whether any outstanding, distinctive person appears in the brain world recently, like the female lead of this novel.”

Rong Yu nodded, feeling her scalp go numb for a moment.

“Good luck, Miss Rong. Data does not lie. Miss Lian admires you romantically too. So let them feel jealous, let them envy one another, let them be unable to tolerate the existence of the other main consciousness bodies. Gradually, they will begin struggling internally and want to devour the other consciousness bodies. That will stimulate neural transmission.”

Doctor Lin closed the file and added, “The more stimulation, the better.”

For some reason, even though what the doctor said sounded like she was simply stating requirements normally, Rong Yu seemed to hear a little strange excitement in it.

Until Doctor Lin spoke again.

“Our system is highly confidential. As soon as you and Miss Lian begin close contact, we cannot see anything. So we cannot give very directive advice. But I still want to suggest that it would be best for you to personally go through all of them. Preferably under circumstances where the other main consciousness bodies all know about it.”

Doctor Lin said this calmly, as if completely unaware of what explosive words she was saying.

Rong Yu widened her eyes.

“When you say personally go through them, you mean…?”

Doctor Lin smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying. But she did not answer directly. Instead, she lowered her voice and said, “You should go back.”

Rong Yu instinctively turned her head to look at Lian Langsheng inside the glass chamber beside her.

Seeing the other woman lying safely and steadily inside the machine, Rong Yu silently said, Wait for me, then closed her eyes again.

·

When Rong Yu opened her eyes again, she discovered that she was actually in a pure-white room.

White bedsheets, white curtains. Even the walls and door were white.

If not for the absence of the head device, she would almost have thought she had returned to the hospital room in the real world.

Beside her hospital bed sat a young woman who looked to be in her early thirties.

The woman had gentle features and a graceful appearance. Rong Yu recognized her at a glance.

It was Lin Su, the manager who had led her to the program team on the first day she joined Heartbeat Moment, the person specially responsible for the schedules of amateur guests.

Seeing that Rong Yu had woken, Lin Su let out a long breath of relief.

“How do you feel?”

“I’m fine.”

Rong Yu shook her head and sat up. There was no discomfort anywhere.

“Why am I here?”

Lin Su quickly got up and poured her water.

“Last night, before the script finished, you suddenly fainted. Miss Mu escorted you all the way to the hospital.”

Thinking of last night’s Ghost Wedding script, Rong Yu frowned and nodded.

Yesterday, she had personally witnessed the partial fusion of the main consciousness bodies, then had been awakened by Doctor Lin. At that time, her “wedding” with Mu Shuiqing had not yet concluded. She did not know what Mu Shuiqing’s reaction had been, or whether she had been startled.

Lin Su seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled as she handed her the filled cup of water.

“Miss Mu did not let out a breath of relief until the doctor confirmed you were all right.”

“The doctor said there’s nothing seriously wrong with your body. You’ve just been too exhausted recently, so you temporarily fainted from low blood sugar. Everyone was very worried about you. The director personally brought several guests to see you. But afraid of disturbing your rest, she forcibly dragged them all away.”

The word dragged was rather subtle.

Thinking of Lin Mengxing and the others, whose personalities were clearly not very obedient at first glance, Rong Yu felt that this word did not fit them at all.

But she did not say anything more. She lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

The outer layer of her wedding dress had already disappeared. Underneath, she was still wearing her gender-neutral short-sleeved sleepwear.

She pulled out the clothes she wanted to wear from her suitcase on the chair beside her. But since Lin Su was still there, she took the clothes and did not move further.

Lin Su stood up at the right moment and turned to walk out of the hospital room. As she walked, she spoke politely.

“If you’re all right, you can wash up and eat first. I’ll contact the program team now and have them come pick you up later so filming can continue. If you want to rest, that’s fine too. The director said she respects your opinion.”

After hearing the doctor’s words, how could Rong Yu dare continue resting?

She practically wished Mu Shuiqing and the other three would appear before her right now, then pull the fifth main consciousness body out from the crowd and make them merge on the spot.

She was afraid that if too much time passed, a sixth consciousness body would appear.

So she said without hesitation, “It’s fine. I don’t need to rest. After I wash up, I can go to the program team.”

Lin Su nodded. She did not say anything more and opened the door to leave.

As soon as she left, Rong Yu immediately rushed into the bathroom to shower and wash up.

After changing clothes and walking out, she took out the cosmetics she had hidden in the small bag in the innermost layer of her suitcase and put on a youthful makeup look.

The makeup was extremely light. It only made her eyes look rounder and slightly lengthened the shadows at the corners of her mouth. Her features, originally exquisite to the point of being somewhat aggressive, instantly gained a harmless obedience.

Then Rong Yu messed up her curls. The fluffy, soft short hair made her face look even softer and more innocent.

As a male guest, Rong Yu had never needed to wear makeup on the program. Moreover, her skin was good, so no one could tell even without makeup.

This time, she wore light makeup mainly because what she planned to do next was too stimulating. Putting on a little makeup could slightly calm her nervous heart.

When Rong Yu finished tidying up and pulled her suitcase out the door, Lin Su, who had thought she had already gotten used to the impact of Rong Yu’s beauty, still could not avoid widening her eyes.

After looking Rong Yu up and down for a long while, she slowly squeezed out a sentence with a red face.

“Rong Yu, what good deeds did you do in your last life to grow up looking like this…”

Rong Yu raised her hand and shyly touched the tip of her nose.

Actually, even if she looked ugly, in the brain world she would still become a beauty everyone liked.

Because those who are favored have nothing to fear.

Rong Yu had already discovered that Lian Langsheng’s personal consciousness favored her. No matter what she was like, the people in the brain world would brainlessly favor her.

Just like Lian Langsheng liked the food she made. No matter how ordinary the home-cooked dishes Rong Yu made were, they would become especially delicious.

But she could not tell Lin Su this. Rong Yu could only vaguely answer, “Mm, maybe I saved the world.”

Lian Langsheng was her entire world.

·

Today’s filming location was somewhat different from before.

In the past, every filming location arranged by the program team was either an open plaza or an endless plain.

This time, they were actually in a mountain forest hidden by dense woods.

They had driven over several mountains to get here. During the trip, when Rong Yu was in the car sent by the program team to take her to the filming site, she even experienced altitude sickness. Her ears rang and her breathing grew rapid. It took quite a while before she slowly recovered.

When she was about to arrive at the filming site, she unexpectedly saw from afar a silver-white Mediterranean-style giant stone castle peeking out from the forest.

The castle was carved everywhere with intricate and delicate swan sculptures. It stood in the middle of the dense forest, surrounded by mountains and water, with clusters of fountains. Countless swans spread their wings by the pools, as if about to fly.

When Rong Yu arrived at the open area in front of the castle, Mu Shuiqing and the others had already stood before the castle gates, looking from afar in her direction.

He Jiao looked at her, her face slightly red.

The cold and indifferent He Huaiting kept her golden eyes fixed tightly on her.

Lin Mengxing crossed her arms and looked Rong Yu up and down, raising her brows slightly.

Mu Shuiqing curved her lips and waved at her.

As the only “male” guest present, Rong Yu successfully enjoyed the gazes of all the female guests.

Thinking of the contents of the previous scripts, then thinking that everyone before her was a main consciousness body of Lian Langsheng, Rong Yu felt awkward all over. Her heartbeat uncontrollably sped up. She braced herself and walked toward the group, standing beside He Jiao.

She stood beside He Jiao because He Jiao was at the very edge, so standing there would not affect anyone else.

But Mu Shuiqing and the others clearly did not think so.

The moment Rong Yu stood beside He Jiao, she felt three burning gazes.

In the next second, Mu Shuiqing stared at her and walked over, standing at Rong Yu’s empty right side. She looked somewhat unhappy, but the words she spoke were still wooden and gentle.

“How is your body?”

Rong Yu took the initiative to hold her wrist and lightly shook it.

“I’m completely fine now. I just didn’t rest well before.”

Her hands were delicate and fair. Mu Shuiqing only felt that the wrist Rong Yu held seemed to be wrapped in a layer of silk. With that gentle shake, even her heart seemed to be soaking in warm liquid, rising and falling.

Mu Shuiqing was stunned by Rong Yu’s rare initiative. Her bright red eyes stared straight at Rong Yu, and a hint of excited light gradually appeared in them.

But in the next moment, that light turned gloomy and fierce.

Her blood-red eyes coldly watched Lin Mengxing, who had just approached.

Lin Mengxing picked up the hand Rong Yu had originally used to hold Mu Shuiqing’s wrist and placed it in her palm, squeezing it gently, as if soothing an injured little beast.

“It’s good that you’re fine.”

He Huaiting also walked over in large strides, but she did not come directly close. Those cold golden eyes were like some kind of crawling cold-blooded animal, fixed tightly on Rong Yu.

Yet Rong Yu felt as if there were thorns on her back, completely unable to ignore it.

Just then, He Jiao accidentally staggered and fell onto Rong Yu’s shoulder. Her sliding arm happened to knock away Lin Mengxing’s hand, which had been holding Rong Yu’s arm.

A blush spread across He Jiao’s magnificent, art-like face. Her sky-blue eyes, somewhat similar to Rong Yu’s, gazed at her like spring water. Even her voice was barely audible.

“Sorry. I didn’t stand steady.”

How could Rong Yu bear to get angry at He Jiao, who resembled Lian Langsheng so much? She quickly waved her hand to show she did not mind.

Beside them, Lin Mengxing’s eyelid twitched, and her face instantly darkened like charcoal.
