cold flame

Lin Mo chatted with Lin Zi about other things for a while. Seeing that the sun outside was gradually getting thicker, and people in the ward began to come in with lunch boxes and thermos barrels, he got up and said goodbye to him.

"I will come to see you next time and tell you in advance that I will bring you anything you need."

"No, there's nothing necessary." Xu Yan has been busy preparing everything he needs and what he doesn't need. Thinking that this idiot has almost stayed by his side these two days, Lin Zi couldn't help but grin. Laughing, he said by the way: "Help me see if he is outside."

Lin Mo immediately had an unbearable expression, "He only went out for 10 minutes."

"A lot can happen in 10 minutes." Lin Zi said confidently.

"Although it's right to follow your own thoughts, isn't the difference between you and yours too big?"

"Forget it, but I don't want to explain, anyway, you don't understand if I tell you." Lin Ziyouyou said this.

"You—" Lin Mo resisted the urge to swear in the ward, "Call yourself."

"He answered the phone and went out."

"Okay, got it." Lin Mo made a helpless gesture and went out.

At the other end of the long corridor outside the ward, a man was walking towards this side with drooping shoulders. He didn't get rid of his troubled expression until he saw Lin Mo leaning against the wall.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Well, go to the psychiatry department to find... my brother-in-law." Lin Mo usually called him by his first name, but when he thought that Xu Yan didn't know him, he changed to "brother-in-law".

Xu Yan stared at Lin Mo as if suddenly thinking of something, and asked, "Has your brother-in-law worked in this hospital for a long time?"

"It's been a few years, what's the matter?"

"I... can I ask you one thing." Xu Yan said with some embarrassment, Lin Mo motioned him to continue, "I just... want you to ask your brother-in-law to help me Open a case certificate."

"Uh, this is a hospital, not a small clinic. It is very serious to be found to have falsified the case. Besides, he is a psychiatrist."

"Okay, let's forget it." Xu Yan lowered his eyes and fell back into the situation of thinking and helplessness.

"What do you want to issue a false certificate for?"

"Show my family, I promised them to go to my aunt's vacation in Italy. If I don't go now, I must find a reason to persuade them."

"Just say you don't want to go, can't you?"

Xu Yan shook his head, "At the beginning I took the initiative to say that I would go... Now I regret that they will definitely not agree, and I was still asking me on the phone just now. Sigh, I don't know what to do. Similarly, if you make up a reason why you don’t feel well, you don’t have to go.”

"Did you say you were going to Italy because..." The scene where Lin Zi used him to make Xu Yan give up his heart a few days ago, of course Lin Mo did not forget. Seeing the other party's disappointment, he thought that at least he had gone through this One thing, in a short period of time, Xu Yan will no longer appear in their scope of work. After all, no matter how strong the psychological endurance is, there is no way to quickly deal with the heavy blow of kissing someone in front of the person you like. Forget it.

Of course Xu Yan was no exception, so - "Well, I went to the bar that day just to say goodbye to my senior and to see him for the last time. If I come back from Italy, even if school starts, I won't bother him anymore."

Thinking about it, it's really a coincidence. If it wasn't for someone making trouble this time, Xu Yan would really have come to break up with Lin Zi. According to Lin Zi's personality, he certainly wouldn't suddenly realize true love for no reason, and show his sincerity with Xu Yan. .In this way, the cause of his physical injury can also be said to be the catalyst that pushed the relationship between the two to another stage.

"Then now, it's a good result."

"Well, but... I still don't want to see the senior get hurt." Xu Yan picked up the phone in his hand and looked at the vibrating message. Realizing the time, he said, "It's about this time, I'm going back to take the little one Then buy a meal for the senior to eat, we will talk about it next time, goodbye."

"As long as you don't forget what I said." Gao Wenxuan stood by the window, overlooking the small square with lush foliage under the setting sun, coating the lush greenery with a layer of golden yellow.After hearing the response from the other end of the phone, he hung up the phone.

Turning around, the door of the consultation room was half open. Peng Jing, who had already left after the diagnosis and treatment, was standing in front of the door holding the shoulder bag with one hand.She was wearing a goose yellow sleeveless dress, her hair was casually tied in a bun behind her head, revealing a fair and graceful neck and shoulder curvature, and her lower jaw was habitually raised slightly, which did not make people think that she was receiving mental treatment at all. patient.

"I remember that the door should be closed." Gao Wenxuan said in a gentle and calm tone.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Gao, I left my things here." Peng Jing ignored his words, walked in with a smile, and picked up a red wine gift bag from the round wooden table next to the sofa.

"I hope you can remember to take your belongings and knock on the door next time." Gao Wenxuan was still standing by the window, his expression could not be seen clearly under the backlight, but his tone slightly aggravated the last few words.

"Maybe you won't choose to call here next time." Peng Jing smiled playfully, and looked at the other party with bent eyes, "Dr. Gao worked hard this afternoon. After chatting with you, I feel much more refreshed. I will come on time next time, so I will take my leave first."

"As a reminder, drinking alcohol will not do your condition any favors."

"Today is my boyfriend's anniversary, just have a drink." Looking back before going out, the woman who said this sentence was filled with sweetness that could be seen at a glance.

After Peng Jing left, Gao Wenxuan walked from the window to the desk and began to sort out the notes after the afternoon conversation. The mobile phone that had been turned to silent vibrated on the table, and he picked it up after seeing the name on the screen.

"Have you finished watching your friend?"

"Well, when exactly do you leave work?"

Gao Wenxuan glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer, "Come on, where are you now?"

"It's in the corridor at the entrance of your department." Lin Mo put one hand in his trouser pocket and looked into the corridor with his mobile phone in the other. "I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay, I'll be out right now."

Not long after, Gao Wenxuan was seen coming out of one of the rooms. He took off the doctor's white robe and was wearing only a light blue shirt with long sleeves and a quilt.

Roll up a third, revealing the strong arms with blue veins.He had a gentle and polite smile on his face, and at a distance of only tens of meters, he would always nod and say goodbye to the colleagues who touched him and greeted him proactively.

Lin Mo stood where he was, watching him walking towards him with confident and leisurely steps.

"What to eat, have you thought about it?"

"You choose."

"There's a good Japanese grocery store, I'll take you to try it."

The Japanese grocery store is located in a commercial area. The decoration environment inside the store is completely different from the clutter and noise outside. As soon as you enter the lobby, you will see a small Japanese-style dry landscape garden. Follow the waiters in simple and elegant kimonos around a row of neatly hung warm-colored circles. Light, come to the private dining room alone.

After ordering the meal, Lin Mo suddenly didn't know what to say in this situation where there were only two of them alone. This was different from when he was in the car. At this moment, there was no music to blend the distance between them.The number of times they sat and ate outside facing each other was very few, but he concealed the sense of urgency brought about by not being used to the atmosphere at this time.

He watched the other party pour sake into their glasses naturally, and seemed to have no intention of speaking immediately.

Lin Mo picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the aroma of the wine filled his mouth immediately, "It tastes good."

Gao Wenxuan also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "The ingredients are also very fresh. Don't you like seafood? It should suit your taste."

"Today I invite you to dinner, why does it seem like you invited me?"

"Then why don't I treat you this meal, and save what you owe me until next time."

"I don't know what to do next time." Of course, Lin Mo wanted to finish the meal he owed quickly.

Gao Wenxuan laughed when he heard it, showing his white teeth, and said mercilessly: "It seems like you are very busy, you are unemployed now."

"What's wrong with the unemployed? It's not that I don't want to look for a job." Lin Mo retorted muffledly, similar to a child promising to pass the exam next time.

Gao Wenxuan held back his smile and asked, "Which convenient job are you going to find?"

The dishes were brought to the table one after another. Lin Mo looked at the various dishes, as if he was caught in a multiple-choice question. He randomly picked up a piece of tamagoyaki, and replied in a nonchalant tone: "Maybe it's about education."

"Music teacher? Is it a school or a training institution?"

"Training institutions, I haven't thought about getting a teacher qualification certificate yet, so I'll be the same as my dad." Gao Wenxuan was right, the taste of this store really suits his taste. With a big appetite, Lin Mo went on to grab another dish.

"How old are you, and you're still struggling with this." Gao Wenxuan said in an educational tone.

"Aren't you the same? You didn't follow Uncle Gao's advice to become a physician, but chose the unpopular psychology."

"I chose psychology because I like it." Gao Wenxuan was absent to help Lin Mo with food, "The resume is finished? The training center my mother mentioned last time is recruiting people."

"I'll find it myself, without your help."

"Okay, just ask if you need my help." As if Lin Mo had expected to say this, Gao Wenxuan immediately answered.

If it had been before, Lin Mo would have ignored his good intentions, and might wantonly expose this seemingly genuine support.But now, after experiencing this incident, his mentality has changed slightly.

Lin Mo put the wine to his lips, and said lightly before tasting it: "You have already helped a lot."

"Really? But I remember that you didn't take the initiative to tell me anything." Gao Wenxuan stared at the noncommittal Lin Mo, did not wait for his response, and then smiled to himself: "You are like this."

There was a little helplessness in the smiling tone, and more of an inexplicable interest.

Lin Mo asked back, "What do I look like?"

"With a stubborn face, I always like the look of being strong."

"Don't think that just because you are a psychiatrist, you can accurately grasp other people's personalities."

"You think the psychiatrist is too boring, don't you? I don't have that much energy to analyze other people. However, the psychiatrist is indeed easier than ordinary people to obtain the information they want, from the perspective of behavioral psychology."

"For example, can you tell what I'm thinking from my behavior just now?"

"of course."

"Tell me."

"Through your actions just now, I found out..." Gao Wenxuan's voice lowered in vain, his deep eyes captured Lin Mo's every move, he curled his lips, pointed at a plate of grilled eel with his chopsticks and said, "What do you want?" Love this dish."

Lin Mo immediately showed a look of disapproval, secretly relieved, glanced at the eel which was the least food left, and said: "This normal person can see it."

"So it's not as magical as you think. We are more about listening to and understanding patients. Didn't you tell me not to treat you as a patient? Of course, before that, I didn't treat you as a psychological patient." The research object, because in many cases, relying on the objective behavior formed by the outside is often difficult to judge its true psychology." Gao Wenxuan took a sip of cold wine and continued, "Depending on the feeling, it is different."

After listening to these words quietly, Lin Mo said in a tone similar to the need for an answer: "But, there are times when the feeling is wrong, right? Otherwise, why would there be the word illusion."

Gao Wenxuan was thoughtful, and replied: "Perhaps, this is also its wonder."
