flirt with opponents

After Guan Ruoyu and Zhuang Mingqi finished their lunch, President Zhuang went to work overtime, while Guan Ruoyu was free at leisure.

He didn't go home immediately as Zhuang Mingqi thought, but walked to the shopping mall where the two had dinner last night, went into a coffee shop and sat down.

Half an hour later, Chu Yue appeared here.

The former senior and today's successful man entered the door wearing a long trench coat with only a shirt inside.Guan Ruoyu was stunned when he saw it, and felt that these successful people might have their own thermostats, so none of them were afraid of the cold.

Chu Yue saw Guan Ruoqu who was sitting by the bed at a glance, and strode over, his eyes behind the rimless glasses were bent: "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Guan Ruoyu looked at him with his chin propped up: "No."

"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" Chu Yue took off his coat, hung it behind the chair, and said amusedly, "It almost made me think that my 'portal' was not closed."

"I lament that successful people have different eyes." Guan Ruoyu replied, "It's cooling outside, you just wear a shirt and a windbreaker, don't you feel cold?"

"It's cold." Chu Yue was actually very honest, "But it's only a short distance from the car, and I drove here."

"I remember, your shiny silver Mustang." Guan Ruoqu clicked his tongue twice, then pushed the menu over, and poured a glass of water from the lemonade and empty glass on the table, "By the way, you What to drink, order yourself."

Chu Yue didn't even look at it, and raised his hand directly: "Waiter, have a cup of conscious espresso."

The waiter walked over quickly: "Sorry, sir, we don't have this..."

"Do you have Americano?"

"some."

"Then help me make this, but you need the original solution, and you don't need to add water." Chu Yue's words were relatively strong, but coupled with a gentle tone and focused gaze, it would not make people feel annoying, "Is it okay?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, let me ask for you." The waiter was not in charge of making coffee, so he didn't understand at all, so he could only apologize and hurried to the counter to ask.Chu Yue was not in a hurry. Seeing that the waiter had left, he turned back to talk to Guan Ruoyu: "What's the matter with you looking for me? Can't you talk on the phone?"

"It's not that I can't say it... It's just that I can't explain it clearly." Guan Ruoyu smiled, "Is the senior busy recently? Did I bother you?"

"I'm okay, I'm just eating." Chu Yue also smiled, and took a sip of the water that Teacher Guan just poured himself, "But you really picked the right time. I was still running out of town yesterday, and tomorrow I will Of the two meetings, today is really the only time I'm free."

Guan Ruoyu thought of President Zhuang Da who also worked overtime non-stop, and said with emotion: "The big boss is busy, but I am different. I am a type who eats and waits to die."

"'All'? Besides mocking me, who else are you alluding to?" Chu Yue unbuttoned his cuffs and pulled them up. "And I can make you busy too, but you don't want to come."

Guan Ruoyu clasped his hands together and raised his head above his head: "Great God, please let me go."

"What kind of master am I?" Chu Yue lowered his eyes and smiled, "Don't think I don't know how you performed when you were in graduate school..."

"Sir, did you just want to order an Americano?"

A waiter came over and stopped by the table to look at Chu Yue.This is not the one who came to order before, probably the real coffee maker, Chu Yue looked up at her: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Well, our Americano is not espresso brewed in an espresso machine and watered down, so... do you think you need an Americano?"

The clerk followed Chu Yue's original train of thought.Because the American coffee in some stores is espresso brewed by an espresso machine and watered, Chu Yue originally wanted to "curve to save the country".But if he didn't do this, Chu Yue didn't want to order this: "No need, is there a blue mountain?"

"some."

"Then order this."

"Okay, wait a minute."

After the waiter left, Chu Yue looked at Guan Ruoyu: "Okay. Continue. Do you want to get down to business?"

"...Well, it seems that you are really busy, so I'll cut to the chase." Guan Ruoyu took out his tablet, tapped it a few times, and then pushed it in front of Chu Yue, "This is what I said based on your Psychological counseling records, sorted out a timetable."

"Huh?" Chu Yue asked, "What timetable?"

Guan Ruoyu looked at him: "Some students collectively showed a timetable for improvement."

"Oh." Chu Yue said indifferently, "What does this mean?"

"I have a discovery..." Guan Ruoyu smiled, but his tone was serious, "These students all suddenly showed signs of improvement after your individual tutoring, didn't they?"

Chu Yue raised his eyebrows.

Guan Ruoyu observed his every expression and movement.

***

Six years ago, in the sophomore class led by Mrs. Xu's wife Li Yuling, a student committed suicide by jumping off the building due to excessive pressure.Since then, a series of suicides including six students and a teacher have kicked off.

Many people think that there must be something strange about this series of events, and Guan Ruoyu is no exception.But Guan Ruoyu, as an "insider", made a more detailed guess on this matter.

He believes that the first student who committed suicide may be due to personal reasons, and the suicide of the teacher's wife in the end can also make sense.However, the suicide of the six students in the middle always had a confusing flavor.Even if it was really due to the influence of his predecessor's suicide, Guan Ruoyu had to read all the counseling records before admitting it.

With this look, he found something amiss... Or rather, it was a coincidence.

These coincidences do not seem to be directly related to suicide, and even stand on the opposite side of suicide results.Because what these coincidences describe is that the psychological state of the students has improved, that is, the impact of the previous suicide has been reduced in the hearts of the students.When Guan Ruoyu first saw this description, he didn't notice anything special.But when he saw similar descriptions many times, some thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then he rummaged through the list of the last batch of psychological counseling before his condition improved.After checking, some more "interesting" coincidences were discovered.

"What, you doubt me?"

Chuyue's Blue Mountain coffee has already been served. It tastes very strong and smells delicious. The heat made Chuyue's rimless glasses hazy for a few seconds.He had Guan Ruoyu's tablet in his hand, needless to say, just looking at the form Guan Ruoyu compiled and the red frame, Chu Yue guessed the true meaning of Guan Ruoyu's words.

"It's too much to say 'doubt'. After all, this is for the better, not for the worse, right?" Guan Ruoyu rested his chin on one hand, and slowly blinked at Chu Yue, "I'm just a little curious, what happened to you, senior? What kind of 'panacea' did you use to make these students untie their knots quickly?"

Chu Yue and Guan Ruoyu looked at each other, and they were speechless for a few seconds.Then Chu Yue finally spoke, but what he said was something else: "Guan Guan... Do you know the way you look at people and seem very focused?"

"Huh?" Guan Ruoyu still propped his chin, as if he was not very interested in this sudden question, "Isn't it basic politeness to look into the other person's eyes and speak?"

"It's not the same." Chu Yue lowered his eyes and smiled, and then met Guan Ruoyu's gaze again, "Your eyes are shining, as if you are whispering, people will fall into it involuntarily."

Guan Ruoyu suddenly chuckled.

"Senior, are you reading poetry with me?" Guan Ruoyu's peachy eyes were slightly curved, and the smile in them was almost unbearable to the corners of his mouth, "If you say such things to me, I will Thought you were secretly in love with me."

Chu Yue laughed: "You misunderstood. I mean, what I said just now was serious, but I didn't write you a love poem because I have a crush on you. I just want to give you an example."

"for example?"

"Yes." Chu Yue met Guan Ruoyu's gaze and smiled, "You asked me what I did to those students at that time, and now I will give you an example. What I did then is just like what you see now The way I look. You keep looking at me like this, and I might involuntarily tell you everything. I don't think it's my problem, because your eyes, your movements, your voice... most people probably I can't bear your questioning in such a heart-wrenching manner."

Guan Ruoyu's smile faded a bit: "I hope I didn't misunderstand..."

Chu Yue encouraged: "Tell me about your understanding."

Guan Ruoqu narrowed his eyes.

"You... hypnotized those students?"

***

There are not many people in the cafe, and the restaurant-specific music selected by famous music producers is played in the store, which is soothing but not too dull.People sat in the shop in twos and threes, some were chatting peacefully, some were laughing.

The two men sat by the window with flat expressions, but what they said implied some kind of aggression.

Chu Yue smiled and took a sip of coffee: "Then let me ask you, are you hypnotizing me now?"

Guan Ruoyu narrowed his eyes: "You know I don't."

"Yes, I know you didn't hypnotize me. You just used everything around you, and your every move, to try to make me say something I wasn't prepared to say." Chu Yue replied, "Same, I just used some conditions at that time to suggest that they stop thinking about those terrible things and remember more about things that make them happy."

Guan Ruoyu narrowed his eyes and said, "That's it?"

Chu Yue shrugged: "That's it."

Guan Ruoyu asked: "Didn't you forcefully imply that they should maintain a happy body and mind and look at everything positively?"

"No, of course I won't directly make them happy for no reason. Doing so is equivalent to drinking poison to quench thirst. Once the hypnotic effect disappears, it will cause emotional rebound." Chu Yue responded seriously, "I have also studied in this major for several years. , would not do such a thing.”

Guan Ruoyu was silent.He suspected that Chu Yue had done this before, so it would inadvertently cause an emotional rebound later on, which caused the students to feel a sharp increase in pressure.But Chu Yue denied it firmly now, Guan Ruoyu felt that he was not lying.

And what Chu Yue said made sense.Thinking more about happy things and less about unhappy things, although it is just a simple shift of attention, is the most effective way to relieve depression.There are even experiments that prove that if the patient's pleasant memory can be awakened by scientific means, even severe depression may be quickly and effectively relieved.

Guan Ruoyu thought for a while, and finally confirmed again: "Are you sure you didn't do this? Senior, the six children who committed suicide are among these children whose condition has improved..."

"Guanguan, counting those I have talked with alone and those I haven't, I have met all the children at that time. Most of the psychological intervention volunteers are in this state." Chu Yue sighed softly, "I know You are eager for the truth, but don’t question our professionalism casually. I’ll let it go, we have a good relationship, so you can ask directly. Next time if you feel that something is wrong with others, don’t just come to the door and ask questions.”

Guan Ruoqu's question just now is actually a bit offensive.Firstly, he quietly influenced Chuyue's state, trying to make Chuyue answer questions without precaution; secondly, as a person who was not present at the time, he questioned Chuyue's actions, which was actually questioning Chuyue's actions. degree of professionalism.

However, Guan Ruoyu was obviously ready to be caught, even after being said a few words, he didn't show any embarrassment, he just replied calmly: "...I know how to measure."

"It's good that you know." Chu Yue really didn't seem to care much about Guan Ruoyu's offense, and took another sip of coffee slowly.

"So, do you have any other questions?"
