As brainless plot-derived small worlds gradually multiplied, higher-dimensional viewers grew dissatisfied and critical:
"How can such a terrible personality be liked?"
"Spee...

After receiving a call from Teacher Huang, Xu Lou booked the nearest flight without hesitation.
He had fought hard for a chance to collaborate, but he decided to give it up.
He had already missed his sister's death because of that absence, and he couldn't lose another loved one because of work.
In the past few days, Xu Lou basically didn't sleep a wink. He tried his best to finish the work at hand and rushed to check in for the flight that was about to start.
Dr. Qiao had already sat in his seat, flipping through a thick psychology book.
She handed him an eye mask and said, "You should get some sleep first. Don't fall down before you see Xiao Wei."
Xu Lou took it, put it aside, pressed his forehead, and said tiredly: "I don't understand."
Doctor Qiao: “What don’t you understand?”
Xu Lou murmured in a low voice, as if possessed by a demon: "Is depression impossible to cure? No matter how hard I try, it will inevitably get worse..."
Doctor Qiao interrupted him: "Okay, boss, you've started talking nonsense, take a break."
Xu Lou was silent for a moment: "When I left, Xiao Wei was still fine."
He leaned back on the chair, letting go of all his strength, and spoke softly.
"Just like that morning, when I left home, my little sister looked fine too." He murmured to himself, "Depression, how terrible. The person who was smiling and flirting with you one second could jump off the ground the next."
Dr. Qiao sighed inwardly.
Yes, the illness of your relatives is terrible, but what about your own illness? You have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder for several years, but you still insist on not seeking formal medical treatment. You are so stubborn.
...Forget it. After all, the boss still has some rationality. Once Xiao Wei gets better, we can solve the big problems.
Now let’s focus on analyzing Xiao Wei’s sudden worsening condition.
Originally, according to Dr. Qiao's estimation, when Xiao Wei was first consulted, the child was in moderate depression. After such a long period of medication treatment, coupled with regular psychological counseling, the symptoms should have been alleviated, and the medication could be gradually changed. He could also slowly be told the truth about his mother's departure.
She planned it well.
When Xiao Wei's condition improves, she will suggest Xu Lou take a vacation and take the child out for a trip to relieve his mood. During the trip, he can witness the farewell in nature, accept a larger and richer world, and tell him the concept of "death" in a gentle way and observe the child's understanding.
If you can accept it, then on some starry night, let the boss hold the child and look at the moon, and in the gentle evening breeze that makes you sleepy, tell him what happened to his mother.
Xiao Wei's longing for his mother is essentially a longing for a sunny future, which Xulou can provide, and the child can also witness it with his own eyes during the journey.
He will know that happiness should be within his reach and he does not have to be afraid.
She planned to take Xiao Wei away from the torture of illness in the most gentle and soft way.
So, what went wrong?
But her subsequent plans haven't started yet!
The only variable...
Dr. Qiao made a bold assumption: "Could it be that Xiao Wei's father did something?"
Xu Lou lowered his eyes and denied: "No, he has no reason."
He supported Xu's father and only asked him to take good care of his son. He was also fully responsible for the child's treatment when he was sick. What could Xu's father be dissatisfied with?
Doctor Qiao added, "After this incident is resolved, you can take Xiao Wei over. Even if you don't have time to take care of him, I can come over often."
Xu Lou hesitated.
In the short time they spent together, he could sense that Xu's father was of average character, and he could also vaguely sense that the other party was rejecting him, but he didn't care too much.
...After all, he is Xiao Wei's father.
The experience of losing his father at a young age has made Xu Lou have a filter for this identity. He is always worried that if he really takes Xiao Wei away out of his own selfish desires and separates the father and son from each other, Xiao Wei will repeat the tragedy of his sister's lack of fatherly love during her growth process, which led to sensitivity and suspicion.
So he just said, "We'll see when the time comes."
In any case, it's better to have something than nothing.
Doctor Qiao also knew that he couldn't say anything more, so he urged Xu Lou to wear an eye mask to sleep. He read a book himself, but he was thinking about how to test Xu's father later.
It was not her job and it was an overstepping of her authority, but she really couldn't help it.
After raising a child for so many years, even if you are paid to do the work for him/her, you will develop feelings for him/her.
She would never tolerate if the bright future she had carefully planned for her children was ruined by some bastard.
As for him being the father of the child... humph, after working in psychotherapy for so long, she no longer had any filters for this identity. Instead, she deeply believed in the idea that "being a parent requires taking an exam."
Well, after landing——
The plane streaked across the sky, dragging a long white tail.
The sky is blue and the sun is high. Today is a sunny day.
"What a nice weather today!" Yang Xue smiled as she sat by the window. "It's a good sign. The party this afternoon will go smoothly!"
Jiang Xing said, "The weather forecast says it will rain a little, remember to bring an umbrella."
Yang Xue: ...
Yang Xue: "Well, a sun shower, wouldn't that be even better! Maybe there will be a rainbow! The sun always comes after the rain~"
Jiang Xing smiled and said, "Okay, I know you're nervous. Don't worry, I've checked with everyone, and no one blames Xiao Wei."
After all, we are all children, and anger comes and goes quickly. Knowing that the little classmate did not come to the competition because he was in the hospital, what is there to blame?
Instead, the next day they began to feel sad for Xiao Wei, saying that it was a pity that the young classmate missed the sports meet and that they would comfort him well at the party.
"Great, everyone is very conscious." Yang Xue smiled, and then she thought of her brief encounter with Xu Wei yesterday, and she felt a little worried. "Oh, but I'm still a little unsure, so I might as well steal the snowball out again..."
Jiang Xing:!
Jiang Xing: "Again? Steal? Isn't Xuetuan still injured?"
Yang Xue: "...Ahem, I can explain!"
-
In the evening, it was drizzling and Xu Lou and his companions finally arrived at their destination.
"Don't ring the bell, just go in."
Doctor Qiao stopped Xu Lou, took out the key from his arms naturally, and said in a serious tone: "Xiao Wei's condition is very critical, we can't waste time on irrelevant things."
Xu Lou was convinced.
As soon as they opened the door, they realized something was wrong.
There was a strong smell of alcohol in the air, and the ground at the door was covered with sand, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned it.
During the time that Xu's father stayed in Xu's house, he never drank.
Xu Lou's face started to look a little bad.
It is easy to lose control after drinking. Even if you don't commit violence, the drunken words in your mind can easily hurt others.
So he doesn't like alcohol, nor does he like people around him to drink.
I didn't see Mr. Xu on the first floor, but I saw a pile of empty wine bottles. Doctor Qiao picked one up and looked at it with a subtle expression: "The price of this brand... Well, let me think about it, Boss, you are not so kind as to add the cost of wine to the living expenses, right?"
Xu Lou realized that she had not said enough, and immediately said, "Before I left this time, I left some money for Xiao Wei separately." So that the child could give the kitten special treatment.
After saying this, he fell silent.
What about before that?
He hopes that Mr. Xu can take good care of the child, but could it be that Mr. Xu doesn't even spend living expenses on Xiao Wei?
If you can’t even do this, what about other things?
In the chaos, Dr. Qiao took a deep breath and said to Xu Lou seriously, "Before going upstairs, I must ask you one thing in advance. If he is a bad father and is guilty of Xiao Wei's worsening condition, will you punish him, boss?"
Xu Lou clenched his fist: "Of course."
Because of his previous guess, his tone was cold.
The aura was too scary, so Dr. Qiao gave a symbolic advice: "Obey the law, boss."
Xu Lou unbuttoned his sleeves and folded them up: "Well, I know the law."
...Is it because they know the law that they won't break it, or is it because they know the law that they can find loopholes? !
Dr. Qiao's eyes wandered, and he went upstairs with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.
Father Xu was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The room was extremely smelly, many cabinets were open in a mess, and items were scattered all over the floor.
Even when Dr. Qiao turned on the headlights, he was still sleeping soundly and even turned over while mumbling.
Xu Lou's face turned even colder.
He splashed cold water on the man to wake him up.
"Wang Yongcai, you slept soundly."
