Chapter 358: Chapter 357 - 331: The Snake is a Panacea (Monthly Ticket 1650+ updated)

“Hmm, actually, stopping here might not necessarily be a bad thing.” Xiao Qian sighed, looking at little Panpan, who was still sleeping soundly.

“But I feel sorry for this little chub. He just became so close to Da Yi.”

This was simply a case of meeting the right person at the wrong time.

Xiao Qian already understood Dong Yi’s heart through his dreams. Second Brother Yu might not be without feelings either.

But with an age difference of nearly ten years between them, Second Brother already has a child, and Da Yi is still a student. No matter how one looks at it, they can’t possibly continue. Dong Yi’s feelings for Second Brother might have developed from gratitude to something deeper. With no experiences in love, she might mistake this for love.

Xiao Qian was rational, but she still felt a faint sadness when it came to emotions.

How wonderful it would be if every relationship could flourish, if every longing could have a beginning and an end.

But reality never follows people’s wishes.

Dong Yi’s feelings for Second Brother might be a mix of gratitude and emotional attachment. Second Brother Yu is a divorced man with a child, they not only have an age difference, they also come from different walks of life. The outcome of their future together is uncertain.

Xiao Qian understood all of this, but when she came, when she was testing Second Brother’s reaction with Dong Yi, she also had a little hope. If Second Brother could overcome his internal obstacles like Xiao Qiang from her family and be with Dong Yi, it would be a good ending for Dong Yi’s feelings.

“In any case, I feel very conflicted right now. Even a person like me can’t calculate every step of the future.” Xiao Qian murmured a few sentences before suddenly hitting Yu Minglang.

“This is all your fault!”

Yu Minglang blinked innocently. He didn’t seem to have done anything, had he?

“Being with you, I think about things that are beyond rationality. Take today’s situation, I should think it’s best to part ways, but in my heart, there is a hint of loss! Being in a relationship with you is no good, my IQ_is dropping!”

“..are you approaching your period again?” Yu Minglang thought a woman’s menstrual cycle was a magical thing. Xiao Qian seemed especially irritable and very…womanly a few days beforehand.

“You damned fool! Periods come once a month, but standing next to you, Yu Minglang, is like an endless period, dragging down my IQ!”

“So, I’ve become the Emperor of Menorrhagia?”

“Get out of here!”

Xiao Qian was just venting. She vented all her disappointment into Yu Minglang.

Women, such unreasonable creatures, though Boss Qian was a boss-level figure, she was still a woman and no exception to this rule.

“What’s the use of having a high IQ? You’re not a robot. Look at how cute you are now. When I first met you, you were like a little robot, always scheming. Isn’t it normal to have blood, flesh, and emotions? I deal with more deceit in the office, and never held myself to the standards of a robot, like you do!”

Yu Minglang thought that it’s quite nice the way Xiao Qian is now. Although rationality occupies the majority of her, occasionally there’s a little bit of sentimentality, a customary emotion for an ordinary person. Even if she thinks herself silly, it fits with the human condition.

“You’re the robot! Yu Xiaoqiang, are you finding me annoying?”

“I’m criticizing myself, for being clumsy and not knowing how to coax you.”

Yu Minglang thought that arguing with a woman, especially his woman, was an unreasonable and foolish behavior.

The best way to deal with Xiao Qian was not to confront her head-on. There’s going to be scratching whether he wins or loses, so it’s better to give in from the start.

“At least you know it, go get your brother’s camera from the coffee table.”

“What for?”

“We’ve just spent so much time on his kid, causing us near friction. We have to vent at his child.”

Xiao Qian’s IQhad returned.

On the issue of messing around together, Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian were definitely in tune. He immediately went to get the camera.

The heating in the room was great, little Panpan was sweating a bit in his sleep. Xiao Qian removed his thin quilt, revealing his naked little body.

She arranged the baby in a surrender pose, with his legs facing each other. She directed Yu Minglang to take pictures.

“Hurry, a debt of the father is to be paid by his son. His father irritated us. So, we are going to take our anger out on his child. Let’s get a close-up shot of this little one’s genitals! Afterwards, we’ll print it out, keep it, and when Panpan grows up and wants to get married, we’ll show this photo to his in-laws.”

Xiao Qian laughed with malicious glee.

“Future daughter-in-law, you are too cruel, not even sparing the kids

here, put his hand by his mouth, make a drooling pose, right, good-” Yu Minglang was mocking Xiao Qian with his words but his actions were well- coordinated.

The two of them were clicking away, taking pictures of Second Brother Yu’s son. After they finished, they shared a look of mutual understanding.

Right, they’re not sparing even the children, what about it?

True enough, after causing some mischief together, the intimacy just naturally increased. Xiao Qian’s little annoyances as a woman had all been vented.

Yu Minglang finally remembered the main subject.

“Qian Bao, why is it that the same snake in Jingjing’s dream represents all her fears, but in Dong Yi’s dream, you say…she has sexual repression and needs a boyfriend? I remember once I dreamt of snakes.”

“Once or twice doesn’t really mean anything. Psychology is not dream interpretation. I can’t tell you that whoever dreams of something, will definitely have this or that situation. What I analyzed about Dong Yi and Jingjing, is based on their current situations.”

“Tell me more, why do you reach different conclusions for the same thing?” Yu Minglang covered the baby’s belly with the quilt.

“In dream interpretation, there are many explanations for snakes. And in psychology, it also has different implications. The shape of a snake is somewhat similar to a key part of a man, you can also understand it as, women who often dream of snakes are reflecting their attitudes towards marriage. The poisonous snake that Jingjing dreamed of means she’s encountering unfavorable circumstances, such as being sexually violated.”

“What about Dong Yi? The snake that turned into a dragon?”

“Da Yi said the snake looked at her gently, and she was not afraid, she even liked it. This shows that she has budding feelings in her heart, and she is longing. So when we deal with a patient’s dream, we ask how they feel about it, whether they are disgusted or pleased.”

“How did you discover the repression?”

“She really wanted to ride that dragon, to fly with it, but the dragon rejected her and spat out water. Yu Minglang, don’t you think this metaphor is very apt and vivid? It basically reflects Da Yi’s inner world.”

Yu Minglang made a noise of realization, mouth agape, not knowing what to say.
