desensitization therapy

On Wednesday afternoon, Fang Zhilian took time to go home.

He couldn't tell whether it was the timidity of his hometown, or other inexplicable thoughts at work. He lingered near the elevator entrance in the lobby for more than ten minutes before going upstairs. When he knocked on the door, only Tang Ting came running to open the door. .

Fang Zhilian poked his head and saw that Cheng Lei and Tang Jitong were not at home at all, and it was useless to do psychological training.

"Why did you come back so early?" Tang Ting was a little surprised when he opened the door and found him, "I thought you wouldn't be back until late at night, since both parents have gone to work."

Tang Jitong is a surgeon and has always been very busy. No matter the year before or after the year, it is common for him to be on duty on the night of the New Year's Eve.But Cheng Lei is different. In the past few years, the source of cases in the firm has been stable, and the number of lawyers affiliated with her has gradually increased.

Fang Zhilian closed the door: "Mom has a case recently?"

"I don't know, she left early in the morning anyway." Tang Ting said, she was just about to open the cabinet to find slippers, when she patted her head, she suddenly remembered something, "Don't change your shoes, wait for me!"

Fang Zhi glanced at Tang Ting and ran back to the room to search for things, and asked her what she was looking for, but ignored her.

After a few minutes, Tang Ting came out again, fully armed and changed, holding two red tickets: "Let's go, bro, I'll take you to play today!"

Fang Zhilian took the ticket in her hand and took a closer look. There were a few big characters shining brightly on it, Shengjiang Grand Theatre.

Do high school students nowadays like to listen to opera?Fang Zhilian didn't know much about it, but he knew Tang Ting, probably she didn't buy it herself: "Who gave it to you?"

"Student," Tang Ting blinked, and pushed Fang Zhilian out without giving him a chance to ask another question, "Let's go!"

Those two tickets were pass tickets, and there was no specified date or show. Fang Zhilian and Tang Ting took a taxi to the theater, and when they went to exchange the tickets, they realized that there were more than one show.

Tang Ting didn't understand opera, and Fang Zhilian didn't understand either. The two of them were shivering from the cold at the ticket exchange outside, and finally chose a Pingju opera with the closest opening time in a daze.

Less than an hour and a half before leaving the venue, Tang Ting proposed to go to the nearby shopping mall for dinner. Of course Fang Zhilian had no objection. Who knew that Tang Ting didn't go to the restaurant on the top floor, but went straight to the snack area on the basement floor.

"I want to eat junk food so much," Tang Ting muttered vaguely while eating with a mutton skewer in his left hand and a candied haws in his right. Let me order takeaway, can you believe it?"

Fang Zhilian didn't feel the same way about it. Cheng Lei had been free for the past few years, and only paid attention to Tang Ting. In the past, because of the awkward relationship and busy work, she really didn't pay attention to controlling what he ate.

But he still said: "Then you eat more."

"Don't you eat? Strawberries are delicious."

Tang Ting shook the candied haws.

"Don't eat it," Fang Zhilian said unmoved, "what's sour?"

As for candied haws, Fang Zhilian tasted something strange in his first year in Sichuan, but he didn't take it seriously afterwards.At that time, it was nothing more than rock sugar strawberries, hawthorns, green grapes, yams, etc. Unexpectedly, now that the zodiac has rotated more than half a circle, the types are still these types.

"Sweet." Tang Ting retorted, her face puffed up, "By the way, have you reconciled with Yueya? If he really doesn't like you, you can send it back to me."

Fang Zhilian propped his chin, bent his fingers and tapped on the table. This is his unconscious habit when he is upset: "I'm also surprised, she was so good when she was young, how come she doesn't know me when she grows up, Won't you let me touch it?"

Tang Ting said, "Tch—it's just that I don't know you well. You've been away for eight years. It would be strange if she remembered you."

The speaker had no intention of listening, Fang Zhilian's face turned pale instantly, he thought of something else, lowered his eyelashes, and said nothing.

Tang Ting didn't notice the change in Fang Zhilian's face, but she also knew how to accept it as soon as she saw it, and gave him some advice: "Be nicer to her, she clings to her even if she ignores you, and stalks her. There is more to give." She buys delicious food and feeds freeze-dried canned food every day, isn't that simple?"

Fang Zhilian shook his head, and said inexplicably, "How can it be so simple?"

Before the opening, Fang Zhilian and Tang Ting left the mall 10 minutes earlier.The temperature has not been low this week, Tang Ting wore less clothes, just drank a full cup of iced milk tea, just entered the theater complained of a stomachache, and went to the bathroom.

Fang Zhilian sat on the bench next to the entrance and waited for her. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to A Rui, who had just added WeChat two days ago: "A Rui, do you have time tonight? I'm nearby, I'm looking for you Play?"

Ah Rui returned within 2 minutes: "I'll be there anytime! But Brother Song is not here, what time will you come?"

The drunken man didn't mean to drink, so Fang Zhilian immediately asked, "Where did he go?"

After sending it, he felt that it was not appropriate. After thinking about it, he made up for it and replied: "I'll check the time tonight. If it's too late, I might go in two days."

Ah Rui only replied to the second one: "No problem."

Not far away, Tang Ting had already come out, looking eastward and westward with a sneaky look on her face, Fang Zhilian was about to stop her, but the phone vibrated, and on the screen was a new message from Ah Rui. information.

"Brother Song has gone on a date these two days."

Fang Zhilian stared at the screen in a daze, his body was as cold as falling into a cave of ice, and his hands that were almost sweating while holding the phone were scorching hot, and the heat made him numb and awake.

Song Feijue has a girlfriend, this fact was mentioned by Tao Jiaqi at the previous gathering.

Tang Ting had already approached quietly, she didn't notice Fang Zhilian's expression, and whispered, "Brother, I heard a couple talking over there just now, no, it might be someone on a blind date, that guy is so handsome Ah, it still looks familiar..."

Fang Zhilian's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear a word.

"They've been stuck there, and I'm embarrassed to eavesdrop and go out. Hey, anyway, it's probably the man and the woman who apologized, saying that they have no idea, it should be a blind date, it's so embarrassing... But the woman He also has a pretty good temper. As soon as I came out, I happened to bump into them before they left, so I took a look at him. That man looks good and has a good temperament, like an idol..."

"It's coming in." Fang Zhilian turned a deaf ear and interrupted Tang Ting.

Tang Ting was taken aback, but before she could react, Fang Zhilian had already stood up, so she had no choice but to forget about the wonderful encounter just now, and went to check the ticket together with Fang Zhilian.

Fang Zhilian entered the arena absent-mindedly and took his seat. He didn't reply to A Rui again. At first glance, he seemed to be concentrating on waiting for the opening, but he actually looked out of shape.

Although Tang Ting didn't know what was going on, it wasn't easy to gossip about his adventures, so as soon as he sat down, he took two photos of the theater interior, then lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.

They came in at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.

There are still 5 minutes to start, and the people who should enter have already entered, and there are a few vacant seats scattered every two rows.

Fang Zhilian was always staring at the stage in front of him. People passed by the aisle covered with red carpet from time to time. He seemed to turn a blind eye to them and just stared at the empty stage absently.

Until that tall figure passed by, that person brushed past him, and walked towards the front row without stopping.

The moment the side face turned briefly, Fang Zhilian's heart also stopped beating.

Deep eyebrows and clear-cut profile.

Before Fang Zhilian could see more clearly, the lights on both sides had dimmed, and the figure sat down.

In the thick darkness, Fang Zhilian's heartbeat sounded like a heavy drum, making him restless and unable to break free.

He bowed his head even lower, closed his eyes, and held his left hand tightly on the armrest of the seat with the rosary wrapped around it.

The darkness only lasted for less than half a minute, and the lights of the stage were turned on again in an instant.

Song Feijue sat on the right side of the third row. From this angle, only his straight shoulders and back were exposed, while a girl in a camel coat sat on his right side, also only showing his back.

There was no communication between the two of them, and compared to the atmosphere of a date, they seemed like polite and distanced colleagues.

Fang Zhilian felt that he was extremely despicable, and an unspeakable, invisible hope emerged in his heart uncontrollably.

Tang Ting finally turned her gaze back to the stage, turned her phone on and muted, glanced at Fang Zhilian beside her, and asked a very unnutritious question: "Brother, how many minutes do you think I will fall asleep? "

Unexpectedly, Fang Zhilian replied: "Five minutes."

"What about you? Three minutes?"

"I won't fall asleep."

Tang Ting didn't believe it, and wanted to say something, the music was already playing slowly, and the name of Pingju was displayed on the small screen next to the stage, Good Night.

She withdrew her words, sat up quietly and was ready to listen to the drama.

"A Good Night" is about a love story of Di Renjie in his youth.At Tang Ting's age, anyone who has anything to do with love is curious. Although she jokingly asked Fang Zhilian to fall asleep for a few minutes, she listened with great interest when Shinichi started.

Fang Zhilian also kept looking forward, without looking away.

But if someone really cared and looked carefully, he would find that what he was focusing on was not the stage at all, but a back.

The people on the stage sang slowly and sadly: "You have indeed developed admiration and greed for that person."

The ending was lingering, but Fang Zhilian's body became stiff.

In the third row, the girl next to Song Feijue raised her head, she turned her face imperceptibly, and looked at the person beside her.

The people on the stage still sang the love of the old ethics, and the people off the stage had their own concerns.

Fang Zhilian's knuckles turned white, and he let go of his tense fingers one by one, and finally fell down feebly.

The author says:

"You do have admiration and greed for that person."

From Pingju "Good Night"
