Chapter Thirty-Nine

  The next day, Si Luo Chen wore a gray waistcoat suit, with her long hair loose, high heels and carrying a bag, walking into the clinic that had been closed for a long time.

  It's been a long time since Guo Qian saw Si Luo Chen. Now that they've met again, she finds that the doctor looks even more beautiful after not seeing her for almost a year.

  "After hesitating for half a day, he finally said: 'Dr... Doctor, good morning!'"

  Si Lu Chen smiled slightly and nodded: "Early."

  "Your sister called yesterday and said you would be coming over today, I've already tidied up the office." Guo Qian followed closely behind Si Luochen, jogging to keep up.

  Tears gazing up at the sky, the height difference is not just a visual effect, even the stride of each step is different. Guo Qian hated that her legs couldn't be a few centimeters longer, so she wouldn't have to walk on tiptoes, she jogged instead.

  Pushing open the door of the office, Si Luo Chen seemed to have thought of something and stopped in his tracks: "I heard from my sister that there's a new doctor here?"

  Guo Qian hastily handed over the materials in her hand to Si Luo Chen: "This is the new doctor's information, returned from studying in the UK, a professional psychological hypnotherapist."

  "Hypnotist?" Si Luo Chen had never thought that there would be a professional psychologist working here, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?

  Took over the materials, pushed open the door and looked at the environment inside, still the same as when I left, only the mood was different.

  Arrived at the office and sat down, opened the documents and was stunned.

  The woman in the data was surprisingly Irin, whom I had just met yesterday.

  No wonder she said "see you later" yesterday, it turns out she knew all along that they would meet here. Si Luo Chen quickly scanned through Yilin's file with a glance, closed the document and asked: "Is Dr. Yi in?"

  "Ah, yes, I'm in the office doing hypnotherapy."

  Is someone here already?

  For hypnotherapists, Si Luo Chen was full of curiosity, this is a state that not every psychologist can achieve.

  To be exact, being a hypnotist is an innate gift.

  One morning, Si Lu Chen reviewed the case files for this period of time. Only being busy could keep him from thinking about those unhappy things.

  Everything was fine, I looked at the time and just thought of going to eat when I heard a knock on the door.

  "Enter."

  The person who opened the door was Irene.

  She had a high ponytail, a green windbreaker outside a white shirt, which set off her fair skin. Today she didn't look as seductive as yesterday, just light makeup, that young and beautiful face, without any cover-up.

  Still holding a bento box in his hand, he raised it with a smile and said: "Senior, I know you're hungry, want to eat together?"

  "What a coincidence, I was just about to go eat lunch." He said, moving things off his office desk.

  "I was hungry, and I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought something I like. And also milk, because I know you love drinking it." Irin said as she placed the bento box in front of Si Luochen, and pulled out a bottle of milk from her bag.

  Such meticulous and enthusiastic behavior reminded Si Luo Chen of someone, especially Yilin's appearance, which really had a few similarities with hers, looking familiar.

  "Thank you."

  Yilin just smiled and didn't respond, and the two of them ate in silence.

  After finishing eating, Irin asked simply, "Sister, haven't you been sleeping well lately?"

  There isn't a woman who doesn't love beauty, especially beautiful women themselves. Si Luo Chen's vigilant eyebrows slightly furrowed and asked: "Your complexion is very poor?"

  "There's one thing, maybe it's just that I haven't adjusted well since returning from America," Irene said.

  "Does every hypnotist have a pair of sharp eyes?" Si Luo Chen asked curiously with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  The woman in front of him was not only the daughter of the Yi family, but also a hypnotist with higher qualifications than himself. For such a professional person, Si Luo Chen couldn't help but feel an inexplicable desire to chat with her more.

  "Sister, are you interested?" Irin asked with sparkling eyes.

  Si Luo Chen nodded and responded with a "hmm".

  "Otherwise, you come to my room and I'll give you a hypnotic session. It will make you feel very relaxed." Irina's expectant expression made it impossible for anyone to refuse.

  "Doesn't it affect your work?"

  Yilin heard Si Luo Chen's response and wasn't refused, she happily straightened up, shook her head and said: "There are no patients this afternoon, you're my VIP now." She laughed extremely happily.

  Along with her smile, Si Luo Chen's mouth also hooked up slightly.

  Under Irina's lead, Si Luo Chen entered her office. Irina took off her windbreaker and hung it on the clothes rack, revealing a white waist-length shirt and straight linen pants. Only after careful observation did he realize that this woman not only had a good figure but also impressive height.

  Let Cai Luochen, a woman who is only envious of her height.

  As a psychologist, lying on the couch for the first time felt different, somewhat tense.

  Yilin sat in the chair, looking at Si Luochen with such a close distance, feeling as nervous as when she was waiting for her first semester exam results in elementary school. But reason told her that she couldn't lose face in front of someone she admired!

  She gave a slight cough and lowered her voice: "Is the chair comfortable?"

  Lowering her voice, Yilin made Si Luochen almost unable to hear that it was her voice, becoming magnetic and charming, listening to it felt very comfortable.

  "Uh-huh." Si Luo Chen nodded his head again, finding a more comfortable position, staring at the ceiling, and said: "However... I want to tell you, actually I don't really believe in hypnosis."

  Irene smiled and nodded: "Hypnosis is based on free will, at the beginning of the process, your mind must be open, it cannot be intentionally controlled, you need to relax."

  Si Luo Chen nodded in agreement and asked curiously: "Will it be effective the first time?"

  "It varies from person to person, and many people need three to five treatments to see results. Hypnosis is mainly about gradually resolving the patient's anxiety and obsession. But for you, I just want to help you relax your imagination, like when you enter a sleep state every day, sometimes focusing on a book or a thrilling scene from a movie."

  Yilin's patient explanation was not questioning Dr. Si Luochen's professionalism, but rather through these improvements, the relationship between the two people became closer, allowing the other person to eliminate their guard against doctors.

  Si Luo Chen's mouth curved into a smile as he glanced at Irene: "Actually, the first time I lay on this chair, I was really a bit nervous."

  Relax.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Are you ready?" Irina asked softly, her hands crossed and placed on her legs.

  Si Luo Chen took a deep breath, as if relaxing himself, and said: "I think so."

  "Now let's get started formally, pick up the tablet next to you and choose an image that best represents your emotions."

  Following Irin's words, Si Luo Chen picked up the tablet computer and flipped through the pictures one by one, there were forests, oceans, skies, streets, and animals.

  She finally chose a picture of seagulls flying all over the sky above the sea and said, "This one."

  "Close your eyes and imagine that scene in your mind." Seeing Cier fall into a trance, Irene picked up the remote control and turned off the lights.

  "Imagine those birds, that sea, and then one by one, imagine them flying before your eyes."

  "Remember to relax yourself and focus on your breathing."

  Xie Luo Chen followed Irina's voice, as if his mind had already entered a certain state.

  "A bird flies away, with each bird flying away, you become more and more relaxed, calmer and calmer, more and more at peace. I want to take you back to the safest and most comfortable place in your life."

  "Can you think of that place, Luo Chen?" When calling out Luo Chen's name, Yilin's mouth corners slightly curved up.

  Lying in bed, Si Luochen seemed to enter a state of reverie, as if between sleep and wakefulness, his consciousness was still there, but his spirit had already entered the realm of dreams.

  Different from others, there is a pleasant voice guiding oneself by one's ear.

  "Is this the safest place?" Si Luo Chen asked in a softening tone.

  "The safest and most comfortable place."

  "...in my childhood room." Si Luo Chen replied softly.

  "Now let's go to your room and make you feel that sense of security again." Irin paused, slowly moving the chair closer to Si Luochen, gazing at his face intently, "Let's imagine it more clearly. For example... what color are the walls?"

  Blue.

  "Is there anyone else in your room?"

  "Sister."

  Yilin didn't ask any more questions, she just hoped that Si Luochen could have a good sleep. Seeing her breathing becoming more and more stable, she leaned in close to his ear and said: "Luochen, time to sleep."

  Xia Luochen let out a soft "hmm" from his nose, looking extremely adorable. It was completely different from his usual image and personality.

  Irene stared at the woman in front of her with a slightly surprised expression, this exquisite sleeping face, such a beautiful woman. Has someone who can appreciate her up close appeared?

  Obviously, he doesn't deserve to be called brother!

  She got up and picked up a blanket beside her to cover Si Lu Chen, then leaned over and gently kissed his forehead: "Have a good dream, senior sister."

  He finished speaking and turned to leave.

  In dreams.

  Xia Lu Chen returned to her favorite room, where the pale blue walls were adorned with many colorful jigsaw puzzles.

  On the balcony of the room, my sister was still sitting quietly there, holding a book.

  Si Luo Chen walked up to the world map puzzle and curiously asked: "Sister, how did this puzzle get here?"

  Xiao Nian walked up to Xiao Luochen's side and stared at the puzzle on the wall, saying: "Luochen, do you want to hear a story about puzzles?"

  Si Luo Chen nodded.

  "There was a couple who had loved each other for decades, and their children had all grown up. However, the two elderly people always had one dream, which was to travel around the world."

  "Did they go?"

  He shook his head: "First, because of old age, there's simply not enough time and experience to travel to so many places. Second, the old lady fell ill and was hospitalized, remaining in a coma. But this was after all her dream, so the old man bought a world jigsaw puzzle and stuck it on the wall."

  "Every time they passed a milestone, the old man would say: 'Old lady, we've arrived in Rome. It's just like we imagined - the roads are very wide and the people are all tall and fair-haired, with hair of a different color from ours.'"

  Si Luo Chen covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Does every road lead to Rome?"

  "Exactly!" Si Ruo Nan smiled and nodded, continuing: "The old man had no idea what other countries were like, but he used his understanding and imagination to tell the comatose old lady... in the end, he completed the puzzle."

  "Is... his wife awake?"

  She pouted and shook her head, then nodded: "I'm awake."

  "Really?" Si Luo Chen exclaimed excitedly.

  The old lady woke up and saw the world map in front of her, smiled and said: "I had a very long dream, went to all parts of the world with you, saw many people with strange faces. I'm so happy..."

  The old lady's mouth was filled with a satisfied smile, and she finally closed her eyes.

  Si Luo Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he said: "......How could it be!"

  "This was just her afterglow. The old man was very happy about it, though, because he had succeeded. From start to finish, he hadn't let the old lady down."

  Xia Lu Chen: “......”

  Truly romantic, with a touch of sadness and desolation, only then will it be - etched in one's heart forever.

  Xia Lu Chen opened her eyes to find that the sky outside had already darkened, she had slept for a long time on this sofa, covered with a warm and soft blanket.

  Xià Luò Chén acknowledged that she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time. As she thought back to the dream, her mouth curved up slightly.

  This is where she starts chasing her dreams.

  I want to repeat that this is not a simple romance story. (Seems like I've said it before.)

  There is a psychiatrist, there is a detective, and there is a mysterious woman with exceptional skills.

  So... I hope everyone will be patient with me, and I'll fill in all the gaps to make the story more complete.

  Mumu da.
