"Mermaid?" Pei Yunqing asked suspiciously, "Are you talking about Andersen's fairy tale?"

"Yes." Gu Li nodded.

"This is a well-known fairy tale, of course I have heard it too." Pei Yunqing said with a smile.

"Then do you think there are two or three protagonists in the mermaid fairy tale?" Gu Li continued to ask.

Pei Yunqing hesitated and said, "I think there are three, the mermaid princess, the prince, and the girl who saved the prince."

"Didn't the mermaid princess save the prince? Why do you use 'save the prince' to describe that girl?" Gu Li then asked a question.

"But in fact, both the mermaid princess and the girl saved the prince." Pei Yunqing explained: "The mermaid princess rescued the prince back to the shore, while the girl brought the prince home to take good care of him."

"So when you read this fairy tale, don't you think it's a pity that the Mermaid Princess' efforts were not rewarded?" Gu Li looked puzzled.

"That must be a little bit. From the perspective of the mermaid princess, my hard work was not seen by others, and my love was not reciprocated. In the end, it turned into a bubble and dissipated in the world." Pei Yunqing sighed. "But the prince and the girl are also ignorant. The girl thought she was the only one who saved the prince. The first thing the prince saw was the girl when he woke up. This is a mistake. Maybe the prince just wanted to repay the girl at first. Life-saving grace, but in the end the two of them still love each other and choose to be together. The prince and the girl don’t have God’s perspective, and they don’t see the whole truth of the matter. Judging from their perspective, it’s normal to make such a choice .”

"You make sense." Gu Li nodded, "Sometimes people just can't learn to empathize, just like when watching TV dramas, they can't help being the protagonist. Even if the protagonist does something unreasonable They will find excuses to excuse the main character, and the supporting characters often have to be very good in order to be loved by the audience."

Pei Yunqing was a little embarrassed, "Is my thinking strange?"

"No, don't think so." Gu Li shook his head, "There is no standard answer to anything."

"But why do you ask me this question?" Pei Yunqing asked curiously.

Gu Li smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "Did you tell me before that you were going to bring someone here?"

"Ah... yes." Pei Yunqing hesitated: "My... friend before also had some mental illness and symptoms of amnesia, so I wanted to see if you could give him some help, but his amnesia Symptoms seem to have… eased recently.”

"So that's the case." Gu Li said clearly: "It's okay, I gave him some time, if he doesn't mind, I want to talk to him too."

"Okay, then I'll ask him, thank you." Pei Yunqing stood up.

Gu Li smiled gently.

But in fact, Pei Yunqing didn't ask Qiao Chongjing's opinion, and directly pushed the bewildered Qiao Chongjing into the room.

But Pei Yunqing realized later that Gu Li seemed to be simply chatting with himself without saying any conclusions.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with me, my father is really worried about me, Gu Li is probably too embarrassed to refuse his father's kindness, but Qiao Chongjing needs to see a psychiatrist more, Pei Yunqing thought so.

And Qiao Chongjing was looking at the doctor in front of him blankly in the room, "...how are you?"

"Hello, are you Jun Qing's friend?" Gu Li asked.

Jun light?So intimate?friend? ...is that how he describes himself?

Qiao Chongjing nodded with a dark face.

"Although we only met for the first time today, don't you feel a little hostile towards me?" Gu Li sighed.

Qiao Chongjing restrained his unhappy expression slightly, and sat upright, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today."

"Why are you in a bad mood?" Gu Li asked with a kind expression.

...Of course it was because he had spent more than an hour alone in a closed space with a man who was not bad!Although the soundproofing effect of the room is good, I can't hear the content of the speech clearly, but occasionally there will be faint laughter, and it seems that the chat is very happy, so of course I feel uncomfortable.

—Of course, there is no way to tell the truth about these words.

Qiao Chongjing tried to force a smile, "It's nothing, just a little housework."

"Oh." Gu Li showed a clear expression, and even wrote something on the notebook in front of him, "It seems that the relationship between Mr. Qiao and his family is not good."

...Not really, it's better not to talk nonsense, although I don't know the purpose of being brought to see a doctor, but what if this unreliable doctor's scribbles affect the diagnosis result?If you are rejected by your sweetheart because of your mental illness, where can you justify yourself?

Qiao Chongjing rubbed his eyebrows in distress, "Actually, I have no family for a long time."

"Then what was the family matter you mentioned just now...?" Gu Li kept smiling politely.

"...Emotional." Qiao Chongjing said awkwardly.

"Oh, I understand." Gu Li nodded.

"In this case, let's start quickly, and ask whatever you want." Qiao Chongjing tried not to appear too impatient.

Gu Li looked at Qiao Chongjing with interest, "You and Jun Qing have a rare tacit understanding in this regard."

Qiao Chongjing liked to hear these words, so he hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"

"In that case, then I'll ask you the same question too." Gu Li said unhurriedly.

"What?" Qiao Chongjing asked eagerly, as if he was very concerned about the content of the conversation just now.

"Are you familiar with the mermaid story?" Gu Li asked the exact same question as before.

Unexpectedly, the other party would ask such a question, Qiao Chongjing was a little at a loss, "Did you just leave this to talk about mermaids?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Gu Li replied.

Qiao Chongjing looked a little speechless, but he still took the doctor's face into consideration, "Of course I heard it, isn't this compulsory reading in elementary school or junior high school?"

"Then it's easy to handle. It seems that Mr. Qiao has read it." Gu Li didn't seem to hear Qiao Chongjing's eccentricity at all, "Then, what's your interpretation of the mermaid story?"

"Interpretation?" Qiao Chongjing showed a blank expression at the right time, "Does the spiritual consultation still need to examine the foundation of Chinese reading ability?"

"Well, let me ask more specifically, how many protagonists do you think are the main characters in the mermaid fairy tale?" Gu Li said patiently.

Qiao Chongjing looked like a fool, "Of course there are only two protagonists. Is there any other answer?"

"Then, can I trouble you to name the two protagonists?" Faced with Qiao Chongjing's "question", Gu Li avoided talking about it.

"Isn't it the prince and the mermaid?" Qiao Chongjing had great doubts about the professional ability of this young and handsome psychiatrist in front of him. Isn't this the level of a doctor in an elementary school psychological consultation room?

"Oh?" Gu Li seemed interested, "So you think, in the mermaid story, the girl who saved the prince is not important at all?"

"That can't be said." Qiao Chongjing tilted his head and thought for a while, "Although this girl is not the protagonist of the story, if she is not in the story of the mermaid, and if the prince and the mermaid get together smoothly, then everything is fine. If it is properly arranged, the novelty and point of view of the story will be lost, and the mermaid will not become a well-known fairy tale at all times and in all over the world.”

"So, the girl exists to better set off this tragic love story?" Gu Li asked.

"I think so." Qiao Chong nodded, "The prince fell in love with the person who saved him, which is like the invisible condition of the story. Actually the mermaid saved the prince, so the prince should fall in love with the mermaid. But the prince mistook it The girl saved herself, so the prince fell in love with the girl. But if it was other girls or even other boys who saved the prince, would the prince fall in love with them too? Although fairy tales should not consider logic, but This question is also worth thinking about.”

Gu Li nodded, "This is a very interesting point of view."

"Yes, you think so too." After being affirmed, Qiao Chongjing couldn't help complaining: "Actually, this fairy tale is a story about a fool who doesn't tell, and who doesn't know. Look, the mermaid loves the prince so much, but what Not to mention, oh... Although the mermaid can't speak, can't she also write? Even if she can't write, she can still dance or find a partner to act in a melodrama, right? If she wants to If you want to do it, you can also use other ways to convey your heart to the prince. Sometimes the method is much more important than the hard work. She has paid so much for the prince, leaving her home and turning the tail of the fish into a leg , and gave her beautiful voice to the witch, but the prince didn't know anything, she just touched herself by doing so."

"So, do you think the mermaid's sacrifice is not worth it?" Gu Li asked.

Qiao Chongjing was silent for a while, but he denied it: "No, on the contrary, I actually think it's a great thing for her to give everything for love."

"Then you still keep complaining about the mermaid? I thought you didn't like her style." Gu Li was surprised.

"I feel sorry for her. This is called hating iron but not steel." Qiao Chongjing sighed, "She could have lived happily with the prince forever, instead of letting this tragic story spread widely and let the audience use God's perspective It's a pity that she and the prince missed each other."

"If you were a prince, would you fall in love with a mermaid instead of the girl who saved yourself?" Gu Li asked.

"I will not be a prince." Qiao Chongjing affirmed: "Because I will never confuse what is love and what is life-saving grace."
