A few days later, Chen Shen returned to work. Everyone saw that Chen Shen was hesitant to speak. Although he was kind and full of sympathy, people kept talking to Chen Shen because of various excuses. His concern is really oppressive, but for Lin Huai, he felt that if he faced this kind of thing, he would be breathless, but Chen Shen is Chen Shen after all, and in less than half a day, he and everyone were fighting again. together.

After Chen Shen recovered, he lived a very comfortable life. After Lin Huai didn't kiss Chen Shen in the game hall that time, Chen Shen seemed to have given up on those things that were limited to couples. On dates, he took Lin Huai around to eat and drink, chat about work matters, and he didn't flirt casually. Thanks to Chen Shen, Lin Huai learned a lot of gossip from the police station and some very funny small cases that surprised him.

In fact, he has encountered some small cases himself, and he only finds them annoying, but when Chen Shen speaks them out, after finding out the right point, things become funny and interesting.

On this day, after get off work on Friday, Chen Shen said that he was going to see a friend. Because of the traffic jam on Friday, in order to leave work early, he went to pretend to have a relapse of an old injury and asked for sick leave. He also asked Lin Huai to "take care of him", and Lin Huai was beside Her expression was subtle, but she still cooperated with him and left work with him early.

Now that they all slipped out, I thought there was nothing wrong with me, but Chen Shen dragged Lin Huai to go with him. First, he said that he was timid because he was close to his hometown, but when he saw Lin Huai's expression of disbelief, he changed his mind with a smile and said that he might have let him down. Lin Huai knew that Chen Shen was always like this, so he just let him go.

The two came to the inner city, which is a high-end residential area, located halfway up the mountain, but Lin Huai keenly discovered that the higher place was actually the city's mental hospital, but he didn't care until he saw He Son, he had a vague premonition in his heart.

When Mr. He saw Lin Huai, he smiled awkwardly.

"..." Lin Huai didn't speak, Chen Shen decided not to pursue it, and he couldn't say anything, but Chen Shen didn't let Mr. He and the others down, what's the situation?Soon, Lin Huai's question was answered, because the woman who came down from downstairs was very familiar - it was Ye Na.

Ye Na crossed her arms and looked up at Chen Shen slightly, as if waiting for him to say something.

Mr. He apologized, and came up to pull Lin Huai away, leaving room for the two of them. Lin Huai walked around Mr. He's hand, but he knew the situation and he shouldn't stay, so he followed Mr. He away , He also has questions to ask Mr. He.

"What's the situation?" After walking away, Lin Huai asked.

"I'm looking for someone who can heal Qiqin recently. I think Ye Na is good, but she's not easy to hire, so..."

"So you asked Chen Shen to help?" Lin Huai frowned. Mr. He thought he was dissatisfied because Chen Shen invited Ye Na. After all, he already owed Chen Shen a big favor, but Lin Huai said.

"Do you know her treatment method? I don't think Qi Qin is suitable for any painful treatment method now." He thinks Ye Na is a good person, but he doesn't agree with this sadistic treatment method. If he said it, it would have been It's painful enough, there is no need for others to add new pain to him, it is better to deal with Mr. He, the source of all evil, but when Lin Huai looked up and saw Mr. He's silly face, he felt that this person was not worth "dealing with" .

"I've known her with other people, and she has a reputation."

"So you went to invite her, and found out that she couldn't be invited, so you came to Chen Shen?"

"No, Chen Shen recommended it to me, and then I went to her, and she found out that I was recommended by Chen Shen, so she asked Chen Shen to meet her face to face, and she agreed to treat Qi Qin." Mr. He scratched his head.

"..." Lin Huai didn't know what to say for a while, Chen Shen obviously asked for this.

In the same place, Chen Shen and Ye Na were staring at each other. To be precise, it was Ye Na alone staring at Chen Shen, who was looking at her calmly and seriously.

"You have a thick skin." Ye Na finally couldn't hold back, they were all like this, and even "introduced business" to her.

"I just think you are the most suitable." Chen Shen's tone was extremely sincere.

"..." When we met again, Ye Na had a lot to say. She was very good at euphemism and communication, but to Chen Shen, all of this seemed unnecessary. She said directly, "I saw that interview, and I also saw a photo of Song Yun."

Just two sentences have already explained everything.

"Did you approach me because of my similar appearance to Song Yun?" Ye Na took a deep breath. If so, the other party's behavior of running away after being teased is quite reasonable, and even Chen Shen's running away is quite reasonable. It's a kind of conscience, she's not interested in being someone else's stand-in, but...it's hard to say, Chen Shen has the capital to make her sink even deeper.

"I found you because of your appearance, but it's not because of that that I got close to you."

Hearing this answer, Ye Na couldn't explain how she felt, she seemed to be relieved, but she was inexplicably disappointed. She found that even so, she was still angry: "So are you still going to do the same old thing again?"

"Old old?"

"Don't be stupid, I mean you and Lin Huai, can't you see that he cares about you? No matter what kind of feelings it is, if you decide to refuse, you can leave on your own initiative, and he doesn't seem to be going to die A stalker, but he seems to be closer to you now," Ye Na said coldly, "I still want to be more ruthless, when are you going to hang up? Are you similar to me?"

"Nana," Chen Shen called Ye Na earnestly, and Ye Na was startled, and immediately sobered up from her anger, what was she doing, "I didn't want to hang you, and I didn't have that idea, so I chose left."

Ye Na looked at Chen Shen silently, this response was far from enough.

"You know I'm not a good person, and I'm not worth it." When Chen Shen said this, his tone was as soft as spring rain, but Ye Na felt injustice and a trace of sadness in her heart.

"What about Lin Huai? Do you think he deserves it?" Ye Na mocked.

"I want to try it now." Chen Shen said.

At this time, Ye Na understood where her sadness came from. After all, Chen Shen never gave her the opportunity to "not be a good person", but in terms of dignity, she should not want this time anyway. Opportunity, but her heart can't control it.

"Let's go to the end," Ye Na said, "don't contact me anymore, and I don't want to see you anymore."

"I understand, but I want to tell you these words in person."

Ye Na raised her head and understood that what the other party said was that she and Song Yun had similar looks. After all, Chen Shen took care of her feelings. It didn't matter if he didn't explain it. She could control these things well, but the unresolved problem It would always itch from time to time, Chen Shen directly cut off the root cause, until she had decided to say goodbye, her feelings towards Chen Shen were still as complicated as they were years ago, he was a complex of her various emotions, just like Chen Shen People are average.

After Chen Shen and Ye Na finished talking, Mr. He received a text message from Chen Shen. After Mr. He replied, Chen Shen quickly came to the coffee shop where they rested. Mr. He looked at Chen Shen silently, and he took a deep breath. Although he has a carefree personality, Qi Qin's negative emotions have affected him for a long time, making him feel suffocated from time to time.

"I want to chat with you." He also thought about chatting with Chen Shen before, and after knowing that the other party has a professional in this field, his desire to talk became even stronger.

"You..." Chen Shen's tone was full of doubts.

"No, I just want to have a chat, not a professional one," Mr. He quickly explained, "Is that okay, I'll buy you a drink."

"It seems a bit early to drink now," Chen Shen said with a smile, "Just treat me to coffee."

"..." Lin Huai looked at the two of them blankly, because he had a grudge about the stabbing, and he was very unhappy about being left out at the moment.

Mr. He also realized this, and he apologized embarrassedly: "I'll just borrow it for a while, how about I give you the house you live in now?"

"..." Lin Huai turned to look at Chen Shen, "You either?"

"It doesn't seem to be useful, but it's the house I lived with you for so long, so it's good to keep it as a souvenir." Chen Shen replied solemnly.

This answer made Lin Huai feel funny and embarrassed, so he gave up: "Farewell, I don't want to be the black sheep who gets rectified." Speaking of this, Lin Huai remembered that Mr. He still had an identity as a "crowd" anyway, and added Mr. Shanghe faltered there again and explained euphemistically that he was afraid that Lin Huai would be upset. Finally, Lin Huai reluctantly nodded and said that he could wait for them here.

Mr. He and Chen Shen found a private room, and they ordered some drinks and snacks casually. Mr. He wanted to drink himself a glass of wine, and then talked slowly, but found that he and Chen Shen ordered coffee. Mr. He The hand that was raised in the air was lowered again.

Chen Shen remained silent. He didn't touch the food and drink on the table, but his attention was just rightly shared with Mr. He, so that people would not feel the pressure but received attention. For a moment, Mr. He felt The other party really behaved very professionally, not like he just asked for a casual talk.

"Have you ever done psychological counseling before? I'm just curious, not wanting it now."

"It's almost never done formally," Chen Shen said with a smile, "If you want to be formal, I will refuse and recommend you to others."

"I just want to talk about it." Mr. He scratched his head, "There is no one around me to talk to. Friends I know have advised me to give up early. My family doesn't like Qi Qin either, of course they mainly don't like him. The only thing is that I found a man..." Mr. He muttered.

"Since this is the case, have you ever considered giving up on him?" Chen Shen's voice seemed to be guiding him, Mr. He lost his mind for a moment, "Leave him alone, everything will be free."

Mr. He shook his head suddenly, he felt guilty for his thoughts at that moment: "No, I can't do that."

"Why not? Give me some money, and others can take good care of him, and you can be relieved. You didn't promise to take care of him for the rest of your life." Chen Shen chased after him.

"..." Mr. He didn't say anything, but he shook his head violently, "No, I can't do it."

"Why can't you do it? Do you think it's your responsibility for him to do this?"

"I don't know if it's my responsibility. People around me say that I have no responsibility, maybe I don't," Mr. He looked confused, "but seeing his appearance, I have no way to leave, and I have no way to give up."

"I just wanted it at the time, and I didn't think too much, so if I didn't do it, would the situation be completely different, or in other words, after Qiqin agreed, I would be less self-willed. Many times, I Although I like him, but I always feel that he should give me up because of the benefits. I really don't think much about him, and my mother..." Mr. He buried his head deeply, his uncle is his own father He didn't want to mention the matter, but he knew that Chen Shen should understand that it was almost a matter of incest, and it was hard for him to accept it with such a big heart, let alone Qi Qin.

Chen Shen didn't answer, but Mr. He didn't come here to seek an answer. He just needed some different opinions and someone to confide in. After he stabilized his emotions, he said to Chen Shen: "In addition, I need I sincerely apologize to you in person, sorry that I didn't take a good view of Qi Qin that day, Qi Qin was jealous of Lin Huai, even hated him, I found out before, but I didn't remind you, I'm sorry."

"Speaking of this, does he have a special liking for knife stabbing?" Chen Shen asked, Mr. He looked up, how did Chen Shen know about this, but it's not surprising, but what Chen Shen said next made him explode, "It's also quite common to get stabbed as a substitute for unsatisfactory sex."

"What do you mean?" Mr. He exploded, "You mean that Qi Qin wanted to assassinate Lin Huai for other reasons."

"I didn't come to this conclusion. I was just talking about theory. Of course, normal people can distinguish between stabbing and sex, but when people's reason and emotion fade, that may not be the case."

Chen Shen rested a chopstick with his fingers and compared a parallel line, and drew a wave up and down at the position of the parallel line with the fingers of the other hand.

"We humans are also a kind of animals, driven by our own primitive desires to survive. Humans are like walking on the abyss of desires. Desires are always gravitational, but humans are just a fragile thread that will be caught at any time. Involved in it, rationality makes people evaluate the current situation, knowing that crimes will eventually be brought to justice, selfishness will eventually be alienated by others, and interests make people always walk on that line, but there is one more thing that is most important, and that is the ability to empathize , just rationality will collapse one day, and it is painful and difficult to control desire..." Chen Shen paused, his right finger fell directly to the bottom, and he continued, "Under the effect of empathy, seeing the corpses of the same kind , People instinctively feel fear, and when they see the pain of others, they will also feel part of it. Reason and empathy complement each other and support each other, so people can become animals higher than desire."

"Of course, there is also an influence of environment and authority, but it would be too complicated to add it in, so we won't mention it here." Chen Shen added, but what he said earlier was enough for Mr. He to stare at for a long time in a daze.

"In short, in the case of insanity, many things are based on instinct."

"Stop talking," Mr. He interrupted Chen Shen, "Whether Qi Qin really has that intention for Lin Huai or not, I will always accompany him until he is good." He was dizzy by Chen Shen's words, but Instinctively, I felt that if I found a conversation to continue, would I give up Qiqin because of being derailed?This is something he doesn't want to do.

"Shuqi, your empathy ability is very strong," Chen Shen said, "When you don't think you are at fault, you instinctively want to take responsibility."

Mr. He looked at Chen Shen: "So you also feel that I am partly responsible."

"Do you need my answer? Or if you feel responsible, your empathy will make your hard work more bearable?" Chen Shen said softly.

These words were too naked, Mr. He was uncomfortable to hear, he reflexively wanted to save some face for himself, he chose to attack the close people around Chen Shen: "What about Lin Huai, he is because of his weak empathy ability. Is it so difficult to serve?"

"Huaihuai's empathy ability is not weak, but he is too backbone, it is difficult to understand other people's behavior that is not noble, and Huaihuai is the kind of character that does not cry when he sees the coffin, even if you use his weakness to threaten him to do it. If you don't want to do something, you won't be convinced until you give him some real pain."

Mr. He felt a little uncomfortable at first, but when he heard him dissect his boyfriend Lin Huai so calmly and rationally, he felt that Chen Shen did not have any malicious intentions, it was really purely academic.
