When Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian home, it was dark outside, and she had no choice but to leave. When they reached her doorstep, Xiao Qian wanted to get out of the car, but he abruptly grabbed her hand.
âCanât you show a little reluctance?â
Every time they parted, she left with such decisiveness, not showing a hint of reluctance.
âThe expression isnât necessarily real, and the real reluctance doesnât have to wait until now.â Xiao Qian felt especially satisfied looking at him like this.
Yu Minglang had finally met his match! In their past life, when they were together, he would leave her without a second glance when he had to go to work.
What comes around goes around, Xiao Qian had been dating him for a month now, and she felt like she had vented all the grievances from their past life.
âAlright, go home and rest early, I will call and write to you regularly from now on.â
With those words, Yu Minglang perked up and pulled her into his arms to kiss her.
Jia Xiufang heard the car outside and went to take a look. She saw that scene through the car window and saw the two of them hugging each other.
Xiao Qian got out of the car, and Yu Minglang stuck his head out of the window, âAunt, still not asleep?â
âNot yetâ¦â If you didnât bring home my daughter, who can sleep?!
âGo to sleep early, I wonât come in, Xiao Qian, remember to call me.â
After Yu Minglang left, Jia Xiufang glared at Xiao Qian, âYou little brat, get inside the house!â
When they entered the house, Jia Xiufang noticed that her daughter was wearing different clothes, carrying a bag in her left hand, and a bucket in her right hand. The bag contained the clothes she wore when she left in the morning.
âWhat were you two up to?!â
Xiao Qian grabbed a fruit, but before she could put it in her mouth, Jia Xiufang snatched it away.
âYouâre not eating it, just tell me what the two of you did!â
âMom, youâre overthinking. Look at the mud on the clothes. We went fishing, I slipped and fell, and he bought me new clothes.â
Jia Xiufang opened the bucket filled with small fish. She inspected them and indeed, they were caught by fishing.
âHow much did the clothes cost? Give the money back to him, donât let him spend money on you all the time!â
âIf I donât let him spend money now, when will I allow him to spend?â The most direct way to show that a woman likes a man is to empty his wallet and make him invest all his assets in herself. This is what the marriage and love expert often says. Women who save money are the easiest to be dumped, like Jia Xiufang.
âDid I teach you like this? You just started dating, and youâre spending his money like this, what do you think his family will think of you? If he had bad intentions and wanted to take advantage of you, he could bait you with something niceâ¦â
Xiao Qian looked like she was learning, but she couldnât help but laugh in her heart. If Yu Minglang were like what her mom said, he would have done something while they were sleeping together today. Although this man is shameless most of the time, he is quite old-fashioned in some ways. He wouldnât dare make a move on her until she was older.
âYour dad and I are not together anymore, Iâm afraid you and your brother will act like youâve never seen money before, hanging out with anyone just to get something and make a living, becoming a laughing stock. Starting tomorrow, youâre not allowed to go out, stay home and help me.â
Jia Xiufang was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she tried to restrict Xiao Qianâs actions as much as possible.
âMom, why are you guarding against Yu Minglang like a wolf? If you didnât agree to our relationship, what were you doing then?â
âAt first, that kid was too slick, blocking my words, so I had no choice but to agree. But you two should be mindful of your relationship, youâre still a student, and before you two get married, youâre not allowed, not allowed to do that! Nowadays, young people are so different from when I was young, just like him today, back then he would have been arrested!â
âOkay, donât worry about it, Yu Minglang is not that kind of bottomless person, donât think too bad of him.â She can say that about Yu Minglang, but others canât. Even her own mother who wants the best for her is not allowed.
âOnce itâs done, youâll be speaking up for him. Youâll suffer after you marry over there.â Jia Xiufang stuffed the fruit into Xiao Qianâs hand, carried the heavy fish to the kitchen, muttering, âThat kid is pretty good at fishing, itâs so heavy, how can we eat all of thisâ¦â
âMom, Iâm going out tomorrowââ
Xiao Qian hadnât finished speaking when she saw Jia Xiufang walking out of the kitchen, looking murderous.
âIâm going to pick up my younger brother, why are you so anxious? Yu Minglang is going back to work tomorrow, and we wonât see each other for a whileâ
âAlright, go pick up your brother early.â
The next day, Xiao Qian didnât go straight to pick up her brother. Instead, she went to Zheng Xuâs place.
Zheng Xu probably didnât expect her to come so early, still wearing his pajamas, his hair messy.
Looking a little different from usual, a bit lazy and mischievous.
âDid your familyâs Husky let you out alone without a bodyguard?â
âDonât you think itâs good? Iâll give you ten minutes to wash up, and Iâll wait for you in the treatment room.â
This time Xiao Qian came with extreme confidence, hoping to solve the unsolved medical records from the past life. It all depended on this attempt.
After a while, Zheng Xu came out, and after a simple desensitization treatment, Zheng Xu asked Xiao Qian.
âAny progress?â
âNo, it even regressed a bit. The initial treatment was almost in vain.â
ââ¦Then why are you still so happy saying that? I think I can deduct your treatment fees now.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI am really happy nowââ Xiao Qian was in high spirits, and Zheng Xu raised an eyebrow.
âIn general, the condition would not degenerate after several treatments, but yours has worsened since you went to school yesterday. The problem must be at school! Zheng Xu! I promise to make your condition improve significantly after today. Trust me!â
Zheng Xu looked at Xiao Qian in high spirits and laughed along, but didnât hold out too much hope. After all, he had suffered from this illness for a long time.
After putting Zheng Xu into a hypnotic state, Xiao Qian questioned him about his experiences over the years, just like last time. When they reached the age of 14, Zheng Xuâs expression seemed painful. Whether they could succeed depended on this attempt.
âI played with fire⦠burned down the school warehouse.â
Xiao Qian widened her eyes. What?
But due to her professionalism, she continued asking in a hypnotic voice, âWhy did you play with fire?â
âThere was a symbol drawn on the warehouse beam as a result of a bet, I wiped it with alcohol, and then the alcohol spilled⦠I donât know why there was a flaming branch⦠I was curious to see if such a small flame could ignite the alcohol, and then it caught fire.â
So thatâs where the symbol came from! At this point, Xiao Qian was somewhat dumbfounded. Such a naive way to start a fire â even the big brother had a childish phase?
She thought that the source of fear for someone like Zheng Xu would be something much more gruesome and violent. For example, there was a case of whirlpool phobia abroad where the patientâs grandfather had committed suicide by stuffing himself in a barrel. The body was taken out, resembling a whirlpool, and after the shock, the patient developed whirlpool phobia. Finally, even snails frightened him, and he committed suicide in a terrifying way during an episode.
However, the source of Zheng Xuâs phobia was⦠like this!
Next, it was the most important step in unlocking the phobia. Xiao Qian gently leaned into his ear..
