Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 215 The Watching Behind

----

The process of psychological counseling was different from what Lu You imagined.I don't know if he had watched too many fictional works leading to wrong expectations, or the psychological counseling in school was simplified, it felt like they were just chatting normally.

The psychiatrist hired by the school introduced himself as Liang. He had a baby face so young that people would not consciously doubt his qualifications. He seemed a little reckless, but his attitude and voice were really friendly, and he would not be approached by other teachers. Feeling nervous about having a conversation.At first Lu You couldn't help being distracted to look at the man sitting next to him. Once he saw him lowering his head and writing something in the notebook, and the other time he caught his gaze and raised his head to respond with a smile.

This made Lu You a little embarrassed, as if he was disturbing something, he tried his best to focus on the question of the young teacher opposite, and slowly finally stopped distracting.He answered carefully, and he was analyzing the purpose of each question in his heart: asking about his impression of Zhou Wei, his previous relationship, and how he viewed "suicide" was to judge the extent of his influence; he also asked about his family relationship. , it seems that the situation of Zhou Wei's family that Yuan Xiaoxiao inquired about is probably true; there are also some seemingly unrelated questions such as hobbies and future expectations, probably to create a close and relaxed atmosphere...

Conversely, guessing the other party's intentions makes Lu You find it interesting, and he can calmly avoid the important things and ignore the minor ones when asked questions about his parents' family that he doesn't want to answer.He didn't notice that Mr. Liang stopped to record a few times, showing some doubts, or twisting the ballpoint pen on his finger.Before Lu You noticed, he withdrew his probing gaze and took out a test form from the drawer for Lu You to do.

It is probably a student's instinct to guess the intention of the questioner from the questions and options, right?Lu You knew that the psychological test was different from those test papers that needed to be catered to to get high scores, so he tried his best to eliminate the influence of this instinct and finished the dozens of questions.After taking it back, Teacher Liang flipped through it casually, and didn't say anything. He only told Lu You that the tutoring was over and he could go home.

Before leaving, Lu You got a leaflet with a simple typesetting, exuding the smell of newly printed ink. On it was the location and opening hours of the psychological counseling room, as well as tips for self-regulation of emotions.He glanced at it casually, then stuffed this thing into his schoolbag.Teacher Liang didn't seem to be planning to leave work yet. After Lu You said goodbye to him, he looked at the man in the corner of the room with some hesitation, wondering if he should also say hello.At this moment, the man put away the notebook and pen in his hand, stood up, passed by the desk on the way to the door, and took the key hanging from the pen holder at the corner of the desk.

"Then I'll go first too, 'teacher'." He said with a smile that didn't match the status indicated by the address, and then gestured to Lu You, as if asking him to open the door.Teacher Liang, who was arranging the documents on the table, slowly raised his head, staring at him dully—perhaps staring at the keys in his hand?Lu You seemed to see the corners of his mouth twitching a few times, but in the end he just said with a forced smile: "Ah, goodbye..."

The man had already walked towards the door, and Lu You was almost pushed into the corridor.The lights outside were turned off by some teacher who was returning from get off work. The corridor was pitch black, and the glass window at the end of the corridor not far away saw the deep night.Lu You's footsteps stopped hesitantly, he heard the sound of closing the door behind him, and then a beam of light dispelled the darkness.

"Let's go down together." The man who walked up to Lu You said, holding a mobile phone with the flashlight turned on in his hand.He slightly turned his head towards Lu You, and Lu You saw a small piece of light and shadow printed in those eyes that seemed to be reflected on the surface of the water, "Should you still remember me?" He said with a smile, "Thank you for what happened yesterday morning."

The pressure brought by the height difference was too strong, and Lu You couldn't help but want to hide to the side.He let out a "hmm", feeling that such a reaction seemed too perfunctory, and quickly added: "It's okay."

The man seemed to laugh silently in the darkness above his head, and stretched out his hand, "Qi Zhengyun." He introduced himself, and Lu You stretched out his hand curiously and carefully, and heard him say, "Lu You, yes Right? I heard your name when you came in. I heard about what happened in the school and came here to do some research, but I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

He shook Lu You's hand lightly, and the heat in his palm dispelled the chill that lingered around when he mentioned death.Lu You didn't want to hear people mentioning Zhou Wei, friends, or don't be sad, but fortunately Qi Zhengyun didn't say anything after letting go.They walked a few steps side by side to the stairs. The sound of footsteps echoing in the silence made Lu You nervous, as if returning to the time when he went back to the classroom alone yesterday.

"...Investigate what?" In order to make a sound, Lu You randomly found a topic: "Are you a policeman?" Compared with a teacher, the identity of a violent agency seems to be more suitable for this man.Qi Zhengyun shook his head, and showed Lu You the file bag with his mobile phone, "It's not a case investigation—it's a social investigation." He said, "The postgraduate selection topic is about people's family relationships and character formation. Aspects."

The subject was real: it had been given to him by the university professor who had faked his identity, and it had been half-done by someone before.He also set a deadline for him, which is considered courageous to some extent.Qi Zhengyun didn't intend to embarrass his nominal "mentor" too much. He memorized a bunch of relevant materials last night when he had nothing to do, so he was not afraid of asking.

But Lu You seems not very interested in the subject itself.He was silent for a while, thinking of something, and asked in a low voice, "You went...to Aunt Zhou Chen's house yesterday because of this research?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao's father travels abroad all year round, and sometimes he doesn't come back once a year, so it's not a "normal" family.Qi Zhengyun quickly sorted out the logic of Lu You's question, weighed the pros and cons for half a second, and finally chose an affirmative answer. "You guessed right." He said, "I sent out questionnaires online before, and now I am conducting offline interviews with some families with strong characteristics."

——This step was just made up by him, but in order to pretend to be more serious, he decided to consider writing this item into the plan later.Lu You shouldn't have suspected that he was talking nonsense, but fell silent again after getting the answer.The condensed beam of light from the flashlight made the boundary between light and dark very clear. Qi Zhengyun looked down at Lu You's eyelashes that fell down when his eyes fell, and the thin shoulders that were pressed under the strap of the schoolbag.

It seems to be a kind of childishness that makes him scruples.The soul is as young as the body, a clear sign that no touch is allowed, and it is not just a decorative illusion like the little fox he hugged in the previous world.However, in the eyes of others, if you compare him with his peers, you may come to the opposite conclusion: Lu You, who is in high school, seems to be an obedient, mature, and reassuring child.

The pace of the two side by side was slightly staggered at the stairs, Qi Zhengyun stopped for a while on purpose, and let Lu You walk in front of the illuminated light.He hesitated before, considering that the current relationship is basically a stranger, whether it would be too abrupt to bring up certain topics, and he didn't want Lu You to treat him as an elder like a head teacher; but maybe... this could also be a breakthrough.

"I've heard something... about your family." Qi Zhengyun said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to inquire, and your aunt didn't mention it. She met your downstairs neighbor when she was taking me downstairs... ..."

"Is it the grandma on the first floor?" Lu You responded before he finished speaking, his voice sounded calm as expected, "It's okay, the old neighbors who live there basically know it. Grandma thinks that if others Knowing the situation of my family, you will be willing to take care of me, so everyone likes to say—”

Lu You paused here for a moment, so as not to reveal the almost complaining emotion in his heart.I don't know what Qi Zhengyun's expression is now, he thought about it, and wanted to sigh.According to his own wishes, he doesn't want everyone to know what a poor little guy he is... The problem of self-esteem is still secondary. What grandma has never understood is that sometimes being in a disadvantaged position cannot be taken care of, but will cause the opposite result.

Fortunately, the place where they live is very safe, and grandma spreads it everywhere, and no one like a thief came to his house after learning about the situation in his house.However, regarding the fact that he doesn't care that there are no other boys around him to play with, Lu You has never been able to confirm whether it is his nature, or whether he was affected by the laughter of boys of the same age when he was young.

In fact, my grandma was criticized by her daughter later, and she has restrained herself a lot; this time, probably because she heard it was a "research", the old man said it without thinking too much.Lu You's rationality knew that Qi Zhengyun couldn't be blamed for this incident, and Qi Zhengyun's tone of voice didn't reveal the kind of sympathy he hated, but after being silent for a while, he quickened his pace in anger, wanting to You have to go out of the range illuminated by the light in Qi Zhengyun's hand.

—Go out of sight.When he was a child, Lu You had such a wish: to have a narrow room filled with all kinds of necessities and furniture, so that he could stay in the room alone and never need to go out.Even if someone outside pointed to the wall of the room and said "that child that parents don't want", he would not hear it inside.

He built this room in his mind.After growing up a bit, he finally began to feel relieved about the people outside the room—meaning, they could be treated as if they didn't exist without the barrier of the wall.He understands that such a room cannot exist in reality, and he should go to the crowd to find his own position and value.But he never thought of tearing down the room in his heart, and perhaps he would always secretly desire it like this.

Lu You stomped the steps of the stairs, and there was a little doubt in his heart: why did he expose such a childish side to a stranger?What's more, he is an "adult", who is less comfortable with contact than his peers... What made him almost annoyed was that Qi Zhengyun, who was behind, quickened his pace, and easily followed his pace after changing the speed. And the light of the mobile phone lamp was like the carrot hanging in front of the donkey's nose by a thread, always wobbling two or three steps in front of his toes.

They walked down the three floors in silence, and Lu You's pace finally slowed down again when they reached the last few steps.Qi Zhengyun heaved a sigh of relief, and he didn't really become anxious because he was afraid of Lu You's anger, but he felt a little novelty about the child's temper that came as soon as he said it.Perhaps it was fortunate that Lu You was so tense that he refused to look back at him, thinking that he was smiling, otherwise seeing his true expression... probably would have avoided him from now on.

The building where the consulting room is located is not far from the school gate, and the light from the gate shone over, and Qi Zhengyun turned off the light on the phone.He sped up his pace a little more, catching up to the distance between Lu You and him, and after confirming from the expression on his side face that Lu You was no longer arguing, he decided to push a little further. "Did it make you angry? I'm sorry." He said, "But if you want, you can talk to me later?"

Lu You felt that Qi Zhengyun's tone was strange.He turned his head to look over, and the man who was almost two heads taller than his current height showed the innocent eyes of a large dog. "It is very hard to find suitable examples when writing a thesis." He said flatteringly.

This kind of reason sounds a bit bastard, but to Lu You, it's much better than "I'm interested".He stopped in his tracks, pursed his lips, looked at Qi Zhengyun for a while, and nodded in a strange way.

Qi Zhengyun laughed, the car key lightly twirled around on his finger, and then retracted into his palm again.This guy must be very popular with girls in college, Lu You thought inexplicably.At this moment, he had almost completely forgotten the indifferent and distant image of Qi Zhengyun when he appeared in front of him yesterday morning.

Qi Zhengyun glanced at the school gate, which was almost empty, and even the barbecue stalls that would swarm after school had gone, then turned back to look at Lu You. "Today is too late," he said, "do you want me to..."

"No need." Lu You immediately guessed what he was going to say, "Thank you, I'll just go back by myself. My house is very close to the school—you should know?" In order to express his determination, he immediately took two steps towards the school gate, Left Qi Zhengyun's side.

Fortunately, Qi Zhengyun didn't insist on sending him home like those elders who felt the need to keep him safe—Lu You didn't know that this was someone who wanted to follow him, and he didn't need his consent at all, and he wouldn't be caught by him. For the sake of discovery.The man easily gave up his original plan, and just ordered "be careful on the road", waved him goodbye, turned around and walked to the garage.

Lu You was left alone at the school gate, standing quietly for a while.He took a deep breath of the air that wasn't too fresh due to the frequent traffic, turned his head to look into the dark campus, thought of Zhou Wei briefly, and pushed the girl who had passed away back into his thoughts.He adjusted the position of the schoolbag strap on his shoulder and walked out of the school gate.

After walking a few steps, Lu You tripped: his shoelaces were untied.

Maybe it was because he was stepping too hard on the stairs before... Lu You turned his head and looked a little embarrassed. After making sure that there was no car coming on the street behind him, he moved to the side of the road and knelt down to tie his shoelaces.Just as he was pulling the shoelaces tight and preparing to tie them, Lu You felt a gaze fall on him.

He looked back blankly: there was no one behind him.

He turns around and looks down again to tie his shoelaces: the feeling of being watched is back.

After repeating this again, Lu You realized something was wrong.He quickly tightened the shoelaces, stood up straight in horror, and looked around at the dim silence soaked in the street lights.A car drove by on the road some distance away, and the sound seemed to be far away.Lu You's heartstrings were tense, and a few seconds later, he was almost startled by the car bell ringing behind him and jumped up on the spot.

Pushing the station behind him was Qi Zhengyun.The man seemed a little surprised that Lu You hadn't left yet: "What's the matter?" He also looked around, "Are you still waiting for someone?"

When Lu You looked around just now, he didn't see anything. In fact, he was already suspecting that he was too suspicious.He hesitated for a while, thinking of Qi Zhengyun's "investigation", suddenly decided to ask back. "Didn't you study psychology?" He said, there was still some tension in his heart, but he tried to sound as joking as possible, "Guess."

Qi Zhengyun stared at him for a while, then slowly smiled as if feeling helpless.This made Lu You feel like a small animal hiding in the crevice, and people outside had to follow him carefully so as not to scare him away.He felt uncomfortable, and thought it was okay-he was too inexperienced in acting coquettishly or playing around with someone, especially when the other party was obviously stronger than him.But when Qi Zhengyun raised his hand from the handlebars and waved at him, he still lingered and leaned over.

"Psychology is not mind reading, and I'm actually not very good at it." Qi Zhengyun said, "I can tell what a person is thinking and what he is going to do from his expressions and movements—well, I can see part of it. But I can't predict what changes my actions will bring about, and what I need to do to get the expected response. Even if I understand the other person's heart like mind reading, I may not be able to get along well..."

At the end of his speech, his voice became a little lower, and then he seemed to raise his hand according to the trend, and rubbed the head of Lu You who had just leaned over.Lu You's attention was all on the top of his head, so he didn't notice the changes in Qi Zhengyun's expression and tone.Qi Zhengyun smiled, "For example, I can see that you are nervous and afraid of something... maybe something that is not easy to explain? You asked me to guess, so I will guess." He said softly, "It's just I'm not sure which will make you feel better whether to keep asking, or to just bring it up again and send you home without further ado?"

That's a really cunning statement, and it doesn't seem perfunctory at all to throw the question back to the original place.But it is undeniable that because of these words, Lu You felt that the chill that made his hair stand on end just now was melted and receded.His lips moved slightly, but in the end he decided not to speak out about the unfounded sight, he just looked down at the car beside Qi Zhengyun, "Do you want to push the car and walk with me?" He said, "You can't carry people in the back seat of a bicycle."

"It's because the school doesn't allow motorcycles to come in - next time I'll take you with a different car." Qi Zhengyun said with a smile, "It's too troublesome to push around, so let's leave it in the school today, and I will walk back with you." He said He ignored the option of taking a taxi. First, the time was too short. Second, he didn't want Lu You to feel that it was safe to follow the "stranger" into a taxi. "But now you have to accompany me back to the garage, how about it?"

Lu You responded sullenly, and looked relieved.Qi Zhengyun's eyes slid across the grass not far away calmly, the tip of the grass swayed slightly, and a very light rustling sound was scattered in the wind, as if something had quickly slid into the depths of the grass.
