âWhat is Xiao Qian doing?â Uncle Liu sees Xiao Qian putting Hu Meijing to sleep in some way, and miraculously, the sleeping Hu Meijing raises her hand according to Xiao Qianâs command.
âShe has put Meijing into a deep hypnotic state, itâs amazing that she could learn it all on her ownâ¦â Professor Liu thinks Xiao Qianâs abilities are on par with the doctoral students she supervised.
Newcomers can obtain a lot of theoretical knowledge from books but donât know how to apply it. However, Xiao Qian can make smooth clinical diagnoses at every node, as if she has mastered a wealth of clinical experience, which is quite surprising.
If this child really learned all this on her own, that talent and understanding is truly astounding.
âSo, will Meijing be better after Xiao Qian does this?â Uncle Liu asks.
âSeven parts depend on Meijing herself, and three parts on Xiao Qian.â
âWhy is that? What about letting Xiao Li try?â Xiao Li is a doctoral student under Professor Liu and currently works in the Neurology Department of a certain hospital.
âXiao Liâs success rate might not even be as good as Xiao Qianâs. Three parts are already quite high. This still depends on the patientâs own will. Xiao Qian has done her best as a psychologist, and even I would not do better.â
âIt seems you are very satisfied with this student.â Itâs been many years since the old woman has given such a high evaluation to someone. Professor Liuâs students are all top performers, and Xiao Qian must be very exceptional to win Professor Liuâs appreciation.
âIâm much more satisfied with her than with you, old man. Move aside, donât block the way!â Professor Liu pushes Uncle Liu aside and watches Xiao Qianâs next move intently.
Xiao Qian is already at the most critical part of Hu Meijingâs therapy session.
After Hu Meijing has emptied her emotions and has no regrets, Xiao Qian attempts deep hypnosis, entering Hu Meijingâs deep subconscious to weaken her past interactions with the Lone Wolf while trying to awaken her second personality.
There are a total of six levels of hypnosis standards internationally, and the highest level is level six. Xiao Qian hypnotizes Hu Meijing one level at a time, testing after each hypnosis; if successful, moving on to the next stage of hypnosis.
When she completely immerses herself in the world of the subconscious, Hu Meijing will not remember anything during the hypnosis upon waking up.
Xiao Qian rarely uses such advanced hypnosis techniques. Everyoneâs physique is different, like Yu Minglang, it isnât easy to put him into level one hypnosis. Hypnotic techniques have high demands on hypnotists, and not everyone can achieve them. Many psychology students only hear about this concept, but few people can witness it in person, so deep hypnosis is also called negative hallucination.
Xiao Qian now carefully thinks before she speaks.
âMeijing, thereâs a clock on the wall in front of you, white with black hands, the second hand ticking. Iâll count 1, 2, 3, and when I say 3, youâll open your eyes.â
Xiao Qian counts to three. Thereâs no clock on the white wall in front of her.
This is to test the level of hypnosis Hu Meijing has entered. Raising her hand is proof that she has entered level four.
Xiao Qian counts to three, and Hu Meijing opens her eyes, looking at the white wall.
âMeijing, what time is it?â Xiao Qian asks.
âItâs past 3:05.â
âDid you see the hands moving?â
âYes.â
Great! She has entered level five.
Xiao Qian is relieved and happy when they succeed. As long as she can reach level six, theyâll be halfway there. After level five is successful, Xiao Qian starts challenging level six.
Professor Liu outside the door is both nervous and excited. Xiao Qian is like an inexhaustible treasure, full of surprises.
Xiao Qian carefully performs deep hypnosis on Hu Meijing. When Hu Meijing wakes up again, she has successfully entered level six.
At this state, the self that comes out is purely instinctive, and no one can control their own heart and subconscious. Xiao Qian begins to formally brainwash Hu Meijing.
Hu Meijingâs current state seems almost like being asleep. Her body is very relaxed, and she can still hear the sounds of the outside world. 75% of her consciousness is already in her inner world, and she canât see or feel anything other than Xiao Qian. In level six hypnosis, she is very receptive to suggestions and hints.
Xiao Qian easily awakens Hu Meijingâs second personality. When Chu Xuanâs dialogue with Xiao Qian was played, Hu Meijing closes her eyes and begins to cry.
As Chu Xuanâs voice calmly fills the room and he says it doesnât matter who she is and whether she remembers him, Xiao Qian touches Hu Meijingâs belly and gently says,
âThe past is all just a dream, a dream where you once loved and lost. But when the dream ends, you have to start a new life. This man named Chu Xuan is waiting for you to return to your family. Thereâs a baby from Chu Xuan in your belly. Youâve been waiting for this baby for a long time. Do you want to decorate a new home with him for your baby? Do you want to return home and see the man whoâs waiting for you?â
âMy dream was so painful⦠Thereâs someone waiting for me in my dreamâ¦â
âItâs not him waiting for you, itâs you who canât let go of yourself. Trust me, donât be scared, open your eyes and see whoâs waiting for you? Itâs yourself! The person in your dream hopes youâll be happy, wants you to start a new life bravely, and live a warm, peaceful life on his behalf.â
âYes, he told me to be happyâ¦â
âLet go of the past to move forward. Whether the past was good or not, leave it to the you in your dreams. Now itâs time to face the person in your heart, Meijing⦠Go.â
Hu Meijing feels like sheâs floating aimlessly in desolation. A familiar gentle voice comes from afar.
Liu Shuang is right next to her, his voice gentle. However, Hu Meijing cannot see his face clearly, only blurs.
âMeijing, go back. Go back to where you belong.â
âBut⦠Was it all just a dream? Why canât I bear to leave? I want to be with you forever.â Hu Meijing reaches out to hold his hand.
But all she grasps is air.
âYou can abandon everything, but you canât forget anything. You must continue living your life without me.â Liu Shuangâs voice echoes in her ear, and Hu Meijing watches him gently shake his head in pain.
âWhat I least want to see is your sadness. Meijing, weâre not separated; weâre still together, and youâve chosen to stay with me, havenât you?â
Hu Meijing opens her eyes, seeing another her standing beside Liu Shuang, a radiant version of herself. She looks at her hand, then at the other her who Liu Shuang is holding, and is baffled.
Why are there two of her?
