If you are still together when you wake up

Chapter 5 Psychological Assistance
After getting up the next day, and simply washing with cold water, Xia Huixi went to knock on Su Ruhao's door.

Before he knocked on it with his fingers, he found that the door was only ajar, and it opened with a push.

The window of his room was wide open, and as soon as he entered, he felt cold, as if the cold air had frozen his internal organs.And Su Ruhao stood in front of the window, motionless, probably admiring the mountain scenery facing him.

After being washed by the autumn rain, the bamboo in the distance does not show decay, but becomes more and more green. Against the sapphire blue sky, it seems to wash the sight clearly and refreshingly. People feel cool.

The landscapes in the south really deserve the words "beautiful without reason".

And the young man standing in front of the window was also tall and straight.Against the light, his figure was tall and tall, and his shadow fell on Xia Huixi's feet all the time, as if he could touch it if he stretched out his hand.

He turned his head in a timely manner and saw Xia Huixi, with a smile on his solemn face: "Are you up? Is it still cold?"

She shook her head, maybe because she slept warmly, her cheeks were slightly red, like the petals of peach blossoms that did not exist after this solar term.

Government staff accompanied them to the hospital.Found the oncology ward.It was exactly as Yu Ke said.In a small county hospital, almost all the patients in the oncology department were villagers from Cuixiang, some old and some young, and they had just been transferred from the provincial hospital, filling half of the wards.

Standing at the door of the ward, Xia Huixi saw an old man wearing a starched Chinese tunic suit, wiping the small table beside the bed.It was a typical old farmer with dark complexion, and when he lowered his head slightly, his forehead with ravines was exposed, as if it was the piece of yellow land cultivated by his ancestors for generations.

She hesitated suddenly, she couldn't take that step no matter what.

Su Ruhao gently stroked her shoulder, and said with concern, "What's wrong?"

She calmed down slightly: "It's okay."

After chatting for a while, I realized that the facts were even worse than imagined.

The old man obviously knew Yu Ke, his cloudy eyes flickered a little, and he sighed and said: "That girl is promising and has a good conscience. She brought a lot of things a few days ago. She also talked with them for a long time. ...they'll be happier after talking."

He pointed to his son and daughter-in-law again, sighed, and didn't shy away from the volume of his voice: "Now I'm relying on analgesics. I just fell asleep."

Xia Huixi followed his fingers and looked over. The two supposedly strong young men fell asleep with their eyes closed.The old man unbuttoned his clothes again, and showed the two people a large area of ​​red spots on their necks, "It all came from drinking the polluted water. I'm fine, why are the two babies sick..."

Xia Huixi glanced at the hideous skin, and couldn't help but gasped: "Is there anyone else in the village?"

The old man coughed, "Yes. The chemical plant stopped production, but the village can't return to its original state..."

While they were talking to the old man, a teenage boy woke up beside him, crying out for pain, and the child's mother wiped his face distressedly and comforted him in a low voice.

The old man glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Little baby suffers from blood cancer."

The eyes fell on the ground, as if they were dried rock chips or soot blown by the wind.It's so haggard that people can't bear to look at it.

Xia Huixi was holding back her thoughts, and couldn't squeeze a smile anymore.The phone kept vibrating, she stood up, and whispered to Su Ruhao, "I'm going to answer the call."

After talking on the phone for a long time, she stood in the corridor and did not go in again.

The voices in the ward gradually became noisy and lively.She listened attentively, but she didn't know what method Su Ruhao used, as if she blended into the group of miserable people in just a short moment.

This made her feel even more mixed, like self-loathing and envy.

When Su Ruhao came out to look for her, he seemed to see that she was in despair, so he tugged at her hand: "Let's go, let's go to the village to see."

He kept silent all the way until he turned off the road, and the small village was already visible in the distance. Xia Huixi suddenly said, "What can I do for them..."

It seems to be a question, but it doesn't look like it. It looks like a weak exclamation, and it slowly dissipates with the airflow continuously drawn in from the window.

Su Ruhao was not in a hurry to reply, he parked the car on the side of the road without haste, turned his head to look at her, reached out to stroke her hair, and said gently: "You have been working hard."

Today she is really unusual.The pupils seemed to be slackening layer by layer, and his eyes swept across his face with emptiness, completely different from the previous capable and neat.This made Su Ruhao a little distressed, and his palm moved down slightly, and slid to her cheek.Her face is small, and most of it is almost covered by this handful.Somewhat uncontrollably, Su Ruhao wanted to lean over and hug her, his thin lips moved slightly, his eyes flickered, and his expression was complicated.

Xia Huixi was in a daze, thinking back to the phone call just now, those executives who had been on the show and expressed interest in the charity project seemed to have made an appointment. They called her at this time and declined politely.

In fact, she knew in her heart that when recording the program, she just mentioned it casually, and she didn't make a final decision with those people.If they don't want to, it's a better way to say no than to pretend the topic hasn't been said.

They don't have to make this call.

She seemed to have seen Pei Yueze's expression, her beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, and they slid across the brow bone, with a perfect arc, matched with the mockery at the corners of her lips: "There are many ways to abort a project. You can try them all."

Her gaze seemed to penetrate Su Ruhao's body, she was at a loss, and seemed to be muttering to herself: "I'm going to find him."

Su Ruhao's body froze there suddenly, and Su Ruhao breathed out lightly, as if he hadn't heard what she said, and finally spoke calmly, looking straight at her: "Don't worry, there will be a solution."

When he said these words, he seemed to be in control of everything, with a strange power, and his composure was unbelievable.Those two-way gentle and beautiful eyes are shining brightly at this moment, as if they have insight into everything, and they are like gods, with great power.

Xia Huixi didn't notice his strange eyes and intimate movements at the moment, and turned his eyes hastily, full of satisfaction, regretting the weakness at that moment just now.

But the young girl immediately raised her face, her eyes were full of burning hope, she slightly moved away from his hand, and looked sideways at the village that was getting closer and closer, as if she had infinite courage to burst out of the embankment in her heart. out.

Cuixiang's situation is as expected.This is almost a dead village.The sick people were treated outside, and the rest of the villagers actually got some sickness more or less, relying on the only tap water pipe leading to the village from the outside world to survive.After the report was over, the hustle and bustle also went away, leaving only the lingering despair, like a nightmare, hovering over the village, which has not dissipated for a long time.

Because of the rain, the water in the stream seemed thicker, like the rusty green of bronze, with a strange and gorgeous color.There was no fresh breath of "new rain in the empty mountain" between breaths, and Xia Huixi could smell an unspeakable sour taste sensitively.

She was wistfully reminded of the leak at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.Experts say that within 800 years, this city, once adorned with modern civilization, will become a silent, veritable ghost town that can only be annihilated with time.

This is a thrilling specimen, standing quietly in the history of human civilization.

However, here, in this once warm and living village, no experts will come to judge how long it will take for the ecology to recover.Unless these villagers are diagnosed in the medical records, it seems that everything can only go on as usual.

Su Ruhao was talking to the village chief. She blinked her sore eyes, moved to a place in the leeward direction, and took out her phone.

beep...beep...beep...

Xia Huixi knows that only when people are nervous and anxious, they will notice the orderly things in the outside world.This is the source of OCD.But she won't get there.

After a while, Pei Yueze's comfortable and easy-going voice came along with the not-so-good signal.

"I thought I'd have to wait longer."

Xia Huixi felt her nose sniffling slightly, and smiled helplessly: "People are under the eaves."

His voice seemed distorted and slightly cold: "Miss Xia, I'm not interested in knowing how you figured it out in the end. I'll let my assistant and you determine the time for future consultations. In addition, if you have any requirements, you can also contact me in detail. explain to him."

The phone hung up abruptly.

Moody.

Holding the phone, Xia Huixi felt a little confused.Previously, Pei Yueze gave himself the impression that he was calm and direct, and seemed to be an excellent hunter, neither arrogant nor impetuous, always patiently waiting for his prey.But the tone on the phone just now was full of suppressed irritability.

She faintly felt weird, shook her head, walked back to Su Ruhao, and said in a low voice, "The problem of psychological assistance has been solved."

Su Ruhao raised his eyebrows, he didn't seem to be surprised, but just repeated: "It's solved?"

Xia Huixi pressed the center of her eyebrows wearily.Because of the water vapor last night, the mountains in the distance are foggy and misty, lingering in the clouds, and there may be a lot of disturbing thoughts that even I can't figure out.

When going back, Su Ruhao's car was covered in mud stains as if it had been off-road.Before getting into the car, Xia Huixi sighed: "A good car has been tossed like this."

He nodded indifferently: "Just wash it." Before starting the car, he suddenly heard her soft voice say, "Thank you."

Su Ruhao's hands rested on the steering wheel, and he didn't move for a while.He remembered that very early on, he said to her: "...I'm here to see you!" This was the first time he saw her dumbfounded, with her lips slightly open, perhaps just the size of a cherry in her mouth , so playful that he wanted to kiss her.He suddenly remembered as if he couldn't help it, this "thank you", maybe she also said it to that person, and it was so sincere and gentle.

This kind of thought made his face restrained and serious, and soaked in a little coolness, so that the side face looked amazingly handsome, as if condensed by time.

After driving all the way to the national highway, Xia Huixi was almost drowsy, but suddenly heard his reply.Su Ruhao's tone was a bit difficult, but very slow and clear: "Don't be polite to me. It will be the same in the future."

She responded vaguely, and a quiet and soft feeling suddenly fell, which was a peace of mind she hadn't tasted for a long time.

Now that the psychological aid charity organization is named after CRIX, all operations immediately appear to be formal.The group has specially assigned someone to be responsible for all contact matters.Including website construction, social donation channels, and volunteer recruitment, everything seems to be in order.As for Nantah University, it also intends to use it as a training base for students.

The students' registration was very active. On the afternoon of the first weekend, volunteers rushed to Cuixiang.Xia Huixi met them at the school gate, and a group of people were waiting in line to get on the bus.A student greeted her, and she watched them get into the car from across the road, with a smile on her lips, like a heroic mother sending her children off to war.

The autumn wind swept over in gusts, sticking to the neck like cold water, making people shiver for no reason.She looked at the time a little irritably, and she was 5 minutes early.I remembered that Pei Yueze's assistant called me in the morning, with a polite tone, as if reminding me like a robot: "Miss Xia, at two o'clock this afternoon, I will come to make a final confirmation."

At that time, I was a little impatient. Since yesterday, I have confirmed it three times, and her memory has not deteriorated so much.As for his schedule, he won't be as busy as Pei Yueze.These small details are actually deepening my unconscious disgust.She took a deep breath and saw the car approaching.

In the end, he still took her to the mansion where he had been.

The time I came here in a hurry, I thought it was just a neat courtyard.Stepping in this time, she took a little thought to look around, only to realize that this old house is really magnificent, as if it was a prosperous Jiangnan garden in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.And similar gardens are now either being requisitioned as popular tourist places, or they have become museums with unique characteristics.

In fact, whether it is a villa or an apartment, once it is casted with modern reinforced concrete, it will always be inseparable from that similar smell.Only the ancient Chinese houses, with wood as bones and soil as flesh, will have a living soul, which will be handed down along with the changes in the world.

Isn't it extravagant for someone to enjoy such a mansion all to himself?

Xia Huixi pushed open the door of the wing room, as if unable to adapt to the light all of a sudden, she closed her eyes slightly.

The lighting is very good.Large swaths of light crawled in along the window sills, and the floor was also made of terrazzo, as if someone took a brush and dipped it in water, and traced a fine brushwork that looked like plum blossoms and vines.

The sitting man looked at her motionless, his eyes seemed to be condensed into thin needles and threads, and fell on Xia Huixi's face, almost bringing out a slight tingling sensation.

She was wearing a dark blue sweater, and her hair was tied up casually. She didn't wear a headband this time, but took two of the most common black hair clips, and pinned her slightly long forehead hair to one side, with the ends slightly raised , like the tail of a velvet duck sold in the market.

Under such gaze, Xia Huixi felt a little clumsy in taking down the backpack.She smiled uncomfortably, and said hello: "Mr. Pei."

Pei Yueze gave a low "hmm".

When they sat down face to face, Xia Huixi had regained his composure, and said in a clear tone, "Let's start?"

Pei Yueze glanced lazily at the notebook she had taken out, the fountain pen she was holding solemnly, and finally smiled lowly: "Isn't psychological counseling just to chat with you to relieve boredom?"

The small ink drops landed on the snow-white book with a snap, and the dye slid away along the fine paper lines, blooming like a blue lotus in an instant.

She answered calmly in a gentle tone: "It's not."

She was about to explain to him in detail when she was interrupted suddenly.

"I wonder why your attitude towards me has changed at all?"

Xia Huixi held her forehead with some headaches. She naturally knew that she should try to make the other party relax as much as possible during psychological counseling, but the current situation is very strange, and even the rhythm of the conversation is controlled by the other party.

Before agreeing to him, there was no relationship between them, and she had ten thousand reasons to resist and reject him.But now, she must dispel all the negative emotions in the past to prevent possible reverse transfer during the consultation process.What's more, if you count it carefully, then the previous dream has actually been counted as a reverse transfer.

The only thing that made him feel at a loss was that until now, he hadn't told himself why he needed a psychiatrist so urgently.She observed this man secretly, her speech was clear and clear, and her emotions were well controlled, like a vast ocean, hiding his heart in a very deep place.According to the case, such a person, even if he has a mental illness, will often reject help quietly.

He doesn't fit all the psychological profiles.

She simply put down her pen and answered him: "Professional ethics."

This answer did not surprise him. Pei Yueze thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "That is to say, from now on, you will be obedient to me?"

Xia Huixi burst out laughing with a "puchi".This was the first time that she smiled so relaxedly in front of him, without the slightest bit of guard, between her brows, there was a small and beautiful word "Chuan".

Pei Yueze flicked his fingers lightly, and seemed to restrain himself, followed her with a smile: "Sorry, I am indeed a layman."

Xia Huixi didn't notice this. She put the cap on the pen unconsciously, twirled it between her fingers for a few rounds, and finally paused lightly: "So, what's bothering you?"

He repeated it in a murmur, and completely suppressed the smile in his eyes, which seemed as far away as two bottomless black holes: "Trouble?"

Xia Huixi is persuasive and patient, "Generally speaking, those who come to seek psychological counseling in your identity probably have a so-called 'mountain disease'. Anxiety, restlessness, and occasional dizziness. It's like standing On the top of the mountain, overlooking all living beings, looking forward to and fearing the future."

Pei Yueze was listening intently, expressionless, neither agreeing nor denying.This gave Xia Huixi a little bit of confidence. She straightened her mind and continued: "This kind of trouble is very common among successful people. Mr. Pei, do you dream?"

Speaking of dreams, Xia Huixi felt a little unnaturalness in his heart, especially when facing such a pair of clear and shining eyes, as if they were glass beads, in the bottom of his heart, the dreams of the past were fully illuminated.

He raised his beautiful eyes slightly, and stared at the bright pink on her cheeks, which looked like a complete and beautiful peach petal, so he unconsciously pursed his lips: "What dream?"

"Next time you can try to consciously remember your dreams, if we can't find an entry point for analysis..."

"I don't know how to dream. Besides, Miss Xia, I don't have any troubles. I came here just to find a chance to meet you. So you don't have to make so many preparations." Pei Yueze's voice interrupted coldly She, with sarcasm, seemed to be a sharp sword made of ice, "I don't want to be analyzed."

Unable to tell what emotion was entangled with her in an instant, Xia Huixi bit her lip and calmed down for a few seconds.She didn't pay attention to the sentence "I came here to find you, just to find a chance to meet you", on the contrary, the last sentence made her suddenly understand: "I don't want to be analyzed by others."

Still in line with my own profile of him.In this way, my heart gradually settled down.In this psychological pursuit, I have been hanging passively on the cliff, the bare rocks, no vegetation.But when she looked around, she finally found a place to rely on.The inexplicable joy seemed to glimpse a ray of light that was not so clear and bright in the dark shadows of the buildings, so he suddenly felt confident.

She finally raised her eyebrows: "I see. I will pay attention next time."

She was almost about to step out of the door, but the man behind her stopped her, with a hesitant and soft tone: "Are you angry?"

He was really asking her carefully, like the night wind lifting lace curtains, like flowing clouds passing by the endless sky, soft and peaceful.

She glanced back and smiled: "How could it be?"

Standing behind the chair, Pei Yueze has a slender figure, and his facial features are really perfect - he is so handsome that he doesn't look like a mortal, so there is a faint sense of distance.

And his expression - Xia Huixi thought a little confused, why so cautious?Like a disappointed child.This thought only slipped by for a moment, and her movements were still smooth, she stepped out and closed the door.

Those eyes turned and looked at her back intently, like a small lamp with a black jade cover, it went out with the sound of closing the door.

He sat down slowly, as if all his strength had been taken away, he stretched out his hand to support his chin, and suddenly heard another squeak.

"Mr. Pei, I also want to ask, if our psychological consultation is interrupted for some reason, will it affect the previous agreement?"

Pei Yueze was stunned. At this moment, he had recovered his usual calmness and rationality, and his tone was cold again: "It was interrupted for some reason?"

"For example, you feel that you no longer need my consulting help. Or..." She pondered for a while, "I'm going on a business trip for a few days."

"Business trip? That's okay." He smiled indifferently, "As for the reason above, you don't have to worry."

He said word by word: "Because, this is up to me to decide."

When Xia Huixi walked to the door, the driver opened the door for her, and she took the time to glance at her watch.Although the financial crisis is in, it is getting easier for her to make money.Three 10-minute consultation hours earned her a month's salary.

Although he didn't say a few words, he still felt exhausted and was so tired that he almost fell asleep until he answered the phone call from a colleague who was usually close to him in the hospital office.

After hearing a few words in a daze, she was so startled that she almost jumped up from the back seat: "How much did you say someone donated anonymously?"

"We are talking about it here. It is said that the money is designated to move out the remaining villagers who are still living. It is too much. These days, there are still people who do good deeds without leaving their names. Really..."

The phone was put on hold, and Su Ruhao called again in a blink of an eye.

She picked it up with a smile: "What's the matter?"

He also seemed to smile slightly: "Why did the phone turn off just now?"

Xia Huixi was in a hurry to tell him the good news, but Su Ruhao's reaction was a bit understatement, and there was no surprise: "Really? That's great."

She also felt a little excited, changed the subject, and finally said: "I have a case in my hand, which is quite strange, let's find time to study it together."

Su Ruhao was very patient, and immediately said: "Anytime." He paused, and finally said: "Actually, I'm here to remind you, have you packed your luggage?"
