Chapter 616: Chapter 617 Could it be Hypnotism?
This night, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were staying in the same room, which puzzled Song Xiaodong greatly. Since they had arrived here, it seemed like they had never slept in the same room again, and he really wondered what they were talking about.
The next day, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan took a plane to Huaqing City together.
Both of them were seated in first class where, apart from them, there were two foreigners sitting on the other side.
Song Xiaodong couldnât suppress his curiosity and said, "Xuanxuan, what did Qingqing tell you yesterday?"
Miao Xuanxuan, hugging Song Xiaodongâs arm, said with a giggle, "Take a guess."
Song Xiaodong laughed, "How can I guess? Iâm just really curious."
"Hehe, then you can go back and ask Qingqing. Sheâs your wife, after all."
"So are you," Song Xiaodong replied, turning his head and planting a kiss on Miao Xuanxuanâs face.
Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong a light slap and chided, "I am not! Iâm just your little sister-in-law. For a brother-in-law to kiss his little sister-in-law like this, youâre really bad."
Song Xiaodong said, "Then just tell me. Iâm really curious." Miao Xuanxuan would usually tell him anything that was on her mind, and now, for her to keep secrets with Miao Qingqing was really unusual compared to how she usually acted.
Miao Xuanxuan turned to look at Song Xiaodong and then whispered in his ear, "My sister has found out about the thing between us."
"Damn!" Song Xiaodong instantly stiffened, his eyes wide with shock.
"Hehe... scared, huh?" Miao Xuanxuan asked with a mischievous smile.
Looking at Miao Xuanxuan, Song Xiaodongâs expression darkened, "Xuanxuan, you really have a way with jokes. If Qingqing really found out, you wouldnât be so relaxed. I am about to be scared to death."
Miao Xuanxuan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Believe it or not, up to you. My sister is not a fool, sheâs sharp-eyed. She must have noticed our little tricks long ago."
Song Xiaodong, half in doubt, said, "Really? Then how come you still look so relaxed, and even this morning when Qingqing left, I didnât notice anything unusual."
"Of course, itâs true. But what she discovered was something from two years ago, and since her memory has been completely erased, she suspects that both of us have been set up, that some powerful person has manipulated our memories."
"Manipulated your memories..." An idea suddenly flashed through Song Xiaodongâs mind and he said, "Hypnotism!"
"Maybe. Anyway, my sister said itâs a possibility. I told her that since her memories might have been tampered with, mine could be false too. So, we canât take them seriously. She said she wants to find a real hypnotherapist to check it out."
Song Xiaodong voiced his annoyance, "I know hypnotherapists too, how come I never thought of this before."
Miao Xuanxuan, staring at Song Xiaodong, asked, "You know hypnotism?"
Song Xiaodong quickly replied, "I donât, but I know several hypnotherapists. Once we get off the plane, Iâll contact them right away to see if itâs possible."
Miao Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly, "Mhm, mhm."
Song Xiaodong then asked, "Whatâs Qingqingâs current attitude exactly?"
Miao Xuanxuan sighed softly, "I see the confusion in my sister. She feels guilty for taking you away from me and wants to give you back, but then she canât bear to part with you. She has truly fallen for you now. So what do you think? If you had to choose between my sister and me, whom would you choose?"
Although the question seemed difficult, Song Xiaodong cracked a smile and said, "If you ask me to choose, Iâd naturally pick both of you together."
Miao Xuanxuan spat at Song Xiaodong and said, "Ptui, keep dreaming. My sister might accept Xiao Yingying, but thatâs only because of Xiao Yingyingâs health condition. I am her sister; she would never accept such a notion from you."
"And what about you? Would you accept it?" Song Xiaodong asked with a grin.
Miao Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes and then burst out laughing, whispering into Song Xiaodongâs ear, "Just imagine, both of us sisters sharing the bed with you. The thought actually excites me quite a bit. Youâre going to have to work hard."
Song Xiaodong immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Donât worry, I will do my best."
Miao Xuanxuan continued, "But right now, the most important thing is for you to unravel the knot in my sisterâs heart. We wouldnât want your beautiful wish to go unfulfilled and then have my sister run away first."
Song Xiaodong nodded in agreement; knowing Miao Qingqing well enough, she could indeed have such thoughts. As for the two sisters, although they seemed to bicker at times, when it really came down to the wire, they would always yield to each other, each only wishing to make the other happy.
Over two hours later, the plane landed at the airport in Huaqing City. They took a taxi and went straight to the hotel they had booked. They had reserved two rooms, but naturally, they ended up staying in one. As for the extra room and the extra expense, they didnât care at all.
Song Xiaodong soon dialed a number.
"Song, youâre actually calling me? This truly excites me," the voice on the other end said in English, belonging to an older man.
Song Xiaodong, smiling, asked, "Bill, have you had any new breakthroughs lately?"
"A little something, yes. Do you want to come and try it out?"
"Perhaps when I get a chance, but right now thereâs something Iâd like to consult you about," Song Xiaodong said.
"To have Song consulting me is truly an honor," the voice replied.
"Itâs about this: can you implant a set of memories, which donât belong to a person, forcibly into their mind?"
"It shouldnât be a big problem, but the subject needs to be very cooperative, willing to completely relax. If they resist, itâs impossible to do."
"So, youâre saying the preparation has to be extensive and it wouldnât be possible with a stranger, right?"
"Of course, itâs a complex process."
"In this field, is there anyone better than you? Anyone who can outdo you?"
Bill immediately assured, "Song! Are you insulting my status in the hypnosis world? I swear, if itâs about doing this kind of thing, there may be a dozen or so in the world on my level, but none better than me."
"Oh, Iâm not questioning you, since I donât know much about hypnotism. Please donât mind my being so blunt."
"Not at all, has Song encountered some trouble in this area?"
"Indeed, Iâve come across a bit of a problem. Where will you be in the near future? Iâd like to visit you."
"Iâve been very busy lately, but I should be visiting your country next week. You can come to see me then."
"Alright, let me know when you have fixed a date, and Iâll come to find you."
