Chapter 368 Fucks Up Majorly

I waited until everyone had finished their breakfast before I broke the news of my plan. "I was hoping to put Liu Wei in charge today, dealing with the commander and all that crap," I said with a bright smile. "I figured that without Wang Chao here; you were the most logical choice."

"And you didn't think to put yourself in charge?" smirked Liu Wei as he delicately wiped his face with a napkin.

"Nope," I admittedly shook my head. "I didn't think that I would be able to deal with all the crap about military vs. civilian and whatever else they could throw at us without wanting to stab one of them. Mind you; I think stabbing one of them would be a very fun thing to do. How did the word stab even come about? I mean, it doesn't make sense. Knifed would have made sense since the instrument would have been a knife. You could have forked somebody. But forked sounds a lot like fuck, and maybe you won't want to say that."

"All right, Sweetness, let's take a deep breath and calm down," said Liu Yu Zeng, gently taking my cup of coffee out of my hands. "I don't think that you need caffeine on top of Perky," he continued.

"The word 'stab' is derived from an old 14th century word 'stob' meaning to pierce," said Liu Wei as he once again adjusted his glasses. Liu Yu Zeng and I turned around to look at him. "It was not until 1895 when it transformed from being pierced to also including the concept 'to try' and in 'taking a stab in the dark.'"

I turned to look at Liu Yu Zeng. "Is Perky contagious?" I asked in an overly loud whisper. Liu Wei simply laughed.

"No, but you asked a question, and so you got an answer. Was there anything else that you wanted to know?" he asked me with a smile on my face. I could feel the Perky personality trying to peer out of my eyes to look at him.

'That is the first time that anyone has taken my ramblings seriously,' she whispered to me. 'Is he always like that?'



'Pretty much,' I replied with a nod. 'He is superb at going with the flow, and not much phases him.'

'So, Death can handle me?' she asked again, and I could feel her eyes burrowing into me, and hope shone in her eyes.

'Yup,' I said with a nod. 'In fact, I think that he can take whatever we dish out.'

'Huh, the last Death couldn't. He loved you, but not so much the rest of us.'

'To love me is to love the rest of me, too,' I said with a smirk. 'So, maybe that Death didn't love me as much as he thought he did.'

'Might explain why he always went with War at the end of the day. I just figured that I was too much for him,' said Perky softly.

'That man is not going anywhere,' I assured her as the two of us looked out my eyes at Liu Wei.

"Come on, Sweetheart, give me a hard one," he joked. "I have a whole encyclopedia of useless knowledge at my disposal."

"All right," I said with a nod. "Here is one for you. If someone is unable to handle multiple personalities, do they really deserve to be with that person?" There was a pause as the three men looked at me. Liu Wei was about to give me a response when Perky interjected. "I mean, you don't really have to worry about that. I know that there are some personalities that are harder to handle than others, so it is just normal not to be able to handle all of the personalities within the same mind. Did I say personalities too many times? I mean, it is a weird—"

"Hush, Perky," said Liu Wei as he put a hand on my shoulder. "Everything is okay. Just take a breath and relax. We are not going anywhere. I promise. And no. To love a person means to love all of them. The good and the bad. The Crazy, the Violent, the Perky, and whatever else comes next. You all make up the same person."

"Does that mean you won't leave because of me?" asked Perky in a subdued voice.

"It means that I won't leave. Period. Not even Death can drag me away. And trust me when I say he tried," chuckled Liu Wei, giving me a sweet smile of acceptance. I could feel the tension inside of me melting away at his words.

"I'll trust you for now," said Perky, sounding... well... perky. "And if you fuck up again, it won't be me that shatters, understood?"

"Of course, if I ever cause Li Dai Lu hurt, you are more than welcome to tear me apart. I won't even put up a fight," answered Liu Wei.

"You won't have to worry about me," replied Perky, once again using my mouth to deliver her message. "I'll send Psycho after you."

There was a moment of silence before I felt Perky give me a kiss on the cheek and disappear into the back of my mind. A large part of me was hoping that Psycho was not on her way out with how many times people were talking about her.

'I'll stay back here for now,' I heard a new voice say. 'Until someone fucks up majorly. Then I make no promises.'

'Thank you,' I said, meaning it with my whole heart. There were a lot of ways that Psycho could go, and none of them were suited for what I was about to walk into.

"Perky's gone," I said out loud. "Apparently, my personalities just need a little reassurance that you guys aren't going to screw me over."

"Makes sense," said Chen Zi Han as he tidied up the kitchen. "After all, we are the reason why they appeared in the first place."

"But now that Perky is gone, can I get my coffee back? I think I am going to more than need the caffeine to deal with the commander and his FUBAR mission."

The men chuckled just as Liu Yu Zeng handed me back my cup. I quickly replaced my plain mug with another one from my space when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," I said with a sigh, taking a sip from my new mug.
