fear of intimacy

The holiday of the Republic of China production crew was much longer than that of returning to zero. It was not until the company and Ding Lan personally issued a breakup statement that they resumed work three days later. Ding Lan soaked in hot springs for three consecutive days. With hot billowing red light.It doesn't look like a scandal, but it looks like a return from a catastrophe.

"It really has such a good effect?" Chen Shu thought it was amazing.

They took the elevator to the Wendong Consultation Center on the [-]th floor. The time was chosen at [-]:[-] pm on a weekday, and there was no one there.

Ding Lan called up her Weibo homepage and showed it to Chen Shu—there was a selfie of her and her assistant with the hot spring as the background. Ding Lan was wearing nothing, with one arm across his chest, and his body proportions were perfect.

Of course, the comments under the photo have different attitudes, but Ding Lan said relaxedly: "Now that bastard has nothing to threaten me."

She has given a cloze answer.Chen Shu didn't express her opinion, but only admired her choice.

When they arrived at the counseling center, Xu Wendian, Wendong's boss, came out to greet her in person. He obviously knew Ding Lan's latest situation very well, expressed his admiration for her brave decision, and congratulated her on the end of her month-long psychotherapy.Xu Wendian's tone and demeanor are very kind and gentle, which is the paradigm of a psychiatrist in Chen Shu's imagination.

Dr. Cao still stayed outside, chatting with Chen Shu in the waiting area.

"It's amazing, as expected of my boss," he said from the bottom of his heart, "Mr. Chen, do you know how doctors diagnose and treat diseases without specific drugs? They use drugs to stimulate the activity of the patient's immune system and let the patient kill the virus by themselves .Congratulations to Miss Ding, now she has recovered."

They stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the fourteenth floor, looking down at the ever-flowing Red Star Avenue.Even if Feihong steps on the mud, he will leave his finger scratches, but for the thousands of passers-by who spend day and night in the world, anger, ignorance, love and hatred all happen in corners that are not easy to be noticed by others, and all sad and happy stories will be quickly forgotten.For Ding Lan and those who are in a similar situation to her, forgetting is the greatest boon.

Doctor Cao asked, "How are you doing with my junior brother? That guy doesn't look like he can teach."

Wrong, he actually taught very well.Chen Shu rehabilitated Zhou Xu from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't want to discuss this topic: "I thought that doctors were doing research with their supervisors, but Dr. Cao paid great attention to personal career development."

Dr. Cao said: "This is your misunderstanding. Doctors are also divided into scholarly and professional doctors. You can get in touch with more kinds of cases in consulting institutions. And, do you know the origin of Wendong Consulting's name?"

"My boss, Xu Wendian; my teacher, Xiang Dong." Doctor Cao winked at Chen Shu.

Chen Shu understood: "So this is an organization run by your boss and teacher?"

"Yes," Dr. Cao said, "Boss Xu and Professor Xiang are college classmates and brothers of the same school. They have been friends for many years. But you can't tell that these two people know each other at all. They communicate with each other by sending emails." If you have academic problems, you can discuss them together, and if you don’t, you can live your own life. The friendship between gentlemen is like water, and many friends are like this.”

Chen Shu thought that he had successfully changed the topic, but he didn't expect Cao Youcai, as a psychiatrist who relies on analyzing micro-expressions for his living, to have insight into people's hearts no worse than an actor.

"You don't have to worry about not being able to get along well with my junior brother..."

Chen Shu thought, Zhou Xu is actually easy to get along with, he just hates me and people like me.

"He doesn't hate anyone," Dr. Cao said with a smile, "You know, that kid has a phobia of intimacy."

"..."

Chen Shu looked at Cao Youcai in disbelief: "Fear... what?!"

"Intimate relationship. Keeping a distance from everyone is his comfort zone. For this kind of person, it is not safe to have an overly intimate relationship. Like us, we never struggle to establish intimacy with Zhou Xu It’s not our fault, it’s his fault.”

"Why don't I blame you, you have to take full responsibility and I'll tell you Zhou Xu!" Li San was very angry, "What kind of stinking problem must be committed at this time! I just reached a deal with my senior sister to exchange Chen Shu's autograph for a slideshow You lost Chen Shu!!"

Everyone in the classroom cast eyes condemning the noise.Fortunately, get out of class was over at this time, and the old professor tucked the books under his armpits, and slowly crossed the threshold with a cane.

Zhou Xu didn't want to be with those who made a scene in public, so he got up and wanted to leave, but Li San stopped him: "Don't leave, you have to pay me for my autograph!"

"Ask the boss for it, he's here now."

Li San was filled with grief and indignation: "Zhou Er, you are trapping me in injustice!"

"Really," Zhou Xu said sincerely, "They will start class in 10 minutes." After speaking, he pushed Li San's hand away and hurried out of the classroom.The brother's boss heard that Professor Xiang had students who were familiar with hypnosis, and wanted to ask him to meet, probably to poach the professor's corner.It doesn't matter what it is, he left in such a hurry, he just didn't want to meet Chen Shu at the gate of the School of Psychology.

There is no one outside the teaching building.Zhou Xu strode down the steps.

There are still 10 minutes until the agreed class time, and Chen Shu may have arrived early.He is always on time.

The senior brother and the boss may have already sat down at the school cafe, and Zhou Xu picked up a bicycle and rode all the way there.From a long distance, I saw my brother standing outside the cafe and waving to him.

The senior brother led him to the booth: "It's a rare opportunity. Xu Wendian is a well-known psychological counseling expert in China. He has a wide range of avenues, and he needs a hypnotist right now."

Zhou Xu stopped for a moment: "What did you say his name was?"

"Xu Wendian," the brother officially introduced, "National second-level psychological counselor, member of the Psychological Society, and CPS certified psychologist."

Xu Wendian sat against the glass exterior wall, looking sideways at the young students coming and going on Zhiyuan Avenue, unfamiliar gentle faces, unfamiliar titles, and familiar names.

"You must be Zhou Xu." Xu Wendian stood up and shook hands with Zhou Xu, "Xiang Dong's best student has long admired his name."

Sitting together with Xu Wendian, the senior brother said dissatisfiedly, "Why is he the best student? Everyone has a specialization in surgery."

Xu Wendian smiled: "Forget it, low-efficiency employees have no right to speak."

This was the first time Zhou Xu saw this gentle and elegant middle-aged doctor. He took out an old and yellowed business card from the interlayer of his backpack and handed it to Xu Wendian.A very simple business card, with black letters on a white background, clearly stated Xu Wendian's name and a string of numbers that had already shown empty numbers.

Xu Wendian picked it up in surprise and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Xu asked, "Is this the business card you used?"

Xu Wendian pondered and said: "Well... it is indeed mine, and so is the phone, but it's a business card from a long time ago. How do you have it?"

The senior brother looked at his boss and then at his junior brother, apparently not understanding how the two established a connection that bypassed the person in charge.

"This is the business card left by my mother's psychiatrist 12 years ago," Zhou Xu said. "I looked for it later, and the clinic and number were changed."

Xu Wendian obviously had no impression.

"Twelve years ago, I should have received psychological treatment with you for three years. My name is Wu Min. I have a history of depression for at least ten years."

Under Zhou Xu's gaze, Xu Wendian showed a not-so-obvious expression of surprise, and said "ah" softly: "...Wu Min, I remember her, and then she committed suicide by taking medicine..."

The senior brother put down his coffee cup and glanced at his boss, and quietly left the table after getting his approval.

Zhiyuan Avenue is far away from the teaching area, and there are very few students on the road, and no one is willing to come here during the school week.

The brother stood under the street tree and clicked on the group chat, and found that [Discrete Mathematics] had exploded.

[Discrete Mathematics]: There is a news report under the window of the boss's office, and they have already started class!

[I am your senior sister]: Without your autograph, there will be no slides, you can figure it out.

[Discrete Mathematics]: Fuck!The boss is here, I have to withdraw, sister, life-saving is the most important thing!

[I am your senior brother]: Who are you teaching?Turn on the stove?

[Discrete Mathematics]: Who else can it be? Chen Shubai, Zhou Xu doesn't want it.

The brother was startled, and finally realized why Chen Shu avoided talking about the class at Zhou Xu's home that day.

After standing for ten minutes, Xu Wendian and Zhou Xu walked out of the cafe.

Talking about the past while walking.

"...all the patients I see have medical records. Although it's been a long time, I will send you a copy if I can find it," Xu Wendian said with regret, "I didn't expect you to refuse to work with me for this reason. It seems that childhood The influence of parents on children during this period is indeed profound enough.”

Zhou Xu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Xu Wendian laughed again and said, "Actually, I suspect that you are perfunctory to me, otherwise why would you reject me while studying under Xiang Dong's sect at the same time?"

A little unusual voice-over.

Zhou Xu frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Xiang Dong was my hypnosis assistant at the time, I guess he didn't tell you that."

Xu Wendian smiled, as if he felt that he was just telling an anecdote, but Zhou Xu looked at him straight in the face, and he couldn't laugh: "...Uh, I just used a little hypnosis, and of course I was the main cure. Why, Any questions?"

Zhou Xu joined Professor Xiang's project team when he was an undergraduate, and has known Xiang Dong for five years since he was a graduate student.The tutor is like a father. Professor Xiang is very clear about Zhou Xu's family situation, but he never mentioned to Zhou Xu that he had done hypnotherapy for his mother.

Xu Wendian and his senior brother looked at each other and guessed, "Maybe your teacher doesn't know that you are Wu Min's son?"

Professor Xiang not only knows that Zhou Xu is the son of his former patient, but also knows that his student is deeply concerned about his mother's suicide. He has been trying to collect relevant fragments of information, and even persuaded Zhou Xu not to dwell on the past.Zhou Xu unconsciously fastened his fingers on the strap of the backpack, remembering that Professor Xiang cared a lot for him after he was assigned to Xiang Dong's sect.

Xu Wendian looked at Zhou Xu's face and suggested: "If you have any questions, why don't you ask Professor Xiang for clarification?"

The brother also said: "Yeah, anyway, the teacher is basically at school all day recently, how convenient, you can go there after he finishes teaching Chen Shu... so what's the matter, hello?" Seeing Zhou Xu's complexion change, he threw the backpack over his shoulder.The bicycle he rode earlier was still parked on the side of the road, and he quickly scanned the code to unlock it, before he even had time to say goodbye, he rushed out like a gust of wind.

The strong wind blew the corners of the two people's clothes, and Xu Wendian and his senior brother looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhou Xu rushed into the administrative building of the School of Psychology and almost ran into someone. The old professor had a cane in one hand and a water glass in the other.

"Zhou Xu?" The old professor pushed the reading glasses with the back of his hand, and recognized the figure who strode up to the second floor, "What's the matter, today you and Li San are still chatting in my class..." Zhou Xu Has disappeared.

201 Office.

Zhou Xu leaned on the door frame panting heavily, reached out to grab the door handle, but suddenly stopped.What reason did he want to break in so abruptly?Just because the teacher hid the truth from him for some unknown reason...or is it because Chen Shu is in the hands of the teacher now?

He scratched his hair irritably, and clasped his fingers on the door——

The door was opened from the inside.

Chen Shu seemed to be about to come out, but he didn't expect that there was someone standing outside the door, let alone Zhou Xu, and he froze when he raised his eyes.

He seemed to be sick, with a light blue medical mask hanging on his chin, the tip of his nose was a little red, and the pupils of his eyes were dark and deep from the water vapor.

Zhou Xu's lips moved.

"Zhou Xu..." Chen Shu's voice was low and soft, like a whisper, with an indistinct hoarseness.

In the small space, the heartbeat became heavier and louder, because of intense exercise or other reasons.Zhou Xu looked down at Chen Shu.

"Who's outside?"

Professor Xiang's voice came from the office.Chen Shu took a step back.

"Zhou Xu?" Professor Xiang sat behind the computer desk, wearing anti-radiation glasses, the law pattern on the corner of his lips was as sharp as a knife, "Is there something wrong?"

Chen Shu lowered his head to get out of the way, ready to leave.Zhou Xu grabbed his wrist.Chen Shu looked at him, and Professor Xiang also looked at him.

Zhou Xu said: "Teacher, my syllabus is all set, and the class will end just one time away, so don't worry about it."

Professor Xiang frowned, looking over the lens at Zhou Xu sternly.Chen Shu's wrist struggled slightly in his palm, and Zhou Xu held it tighter: "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to you last time."

"..." Professor Xiang took off his glasses and rubbed between his brows, "I suggest you ask Mr. Chen's opinion first." He seemed to want to take a sip of water, but he didn't know which of the two glasses on the table belonged to him.

Chen Shu lowered his head, and Zhou Xu realized that his eyelashes were extraordinarily fine.

"Yes, Teacher Zhou taught well." Chen Shu finally said.

Professor Xiang didn't speak, he got up and poured himself a new cup of water, or he didn't want to talk to the disciple who messed up for the time being.Zhou Xu didn't have time to think about it anyway, so he bid farewell to the teacher and closed the office door.

"Zhou Xu, you're walking too fast!" Chen Shu trotted along, not even putting on his mask in time.

Only then did Zhou Xu realize that he was still holding Chen Shu's wrist.It is said that because of the appearance of fat after being on camera, many actors are thin, and Chen Shu's wrists are very thin.

He was about to walk out of the administrative building, and there were many students attending classes outside. Chen Shu probably had to wait for his assistant to pick him up in a car, so Zhou Xu stopped.

"Sometimes you ask me to learn from Professor Xiang, and then I want to learn from you, what do you want?" Chen Shu said helplessly.His expression was very soft, as if he would agree to whatever Zhou Xu said, but Zhou Xu understood that he was blaming himself.

"Then are you coming or not?" Zhou Xu asked, which seemed like a statement because there was no suspense.

Chen Shu didn't give him any more suspense, and still said softly, "I'll do it."
