Chapter 41 | 0041 A Tendency to Embrace the New

It was 7:00 AM on Friday.

Wu Qian stood neatly dressed in front of the full-length mirror. She wore a high-necked, long-sleeved, and trouser-lined outfit that tightly covered her skin, revealing almost nothing. She was very satisfied with the clothes her master had chosen for her the night before.

She looked at her face, her hand tracing the outline in the mirror from bottom to top: legs, genitals, waist, chest, and finally neck.

In her dream, Mr. H kissed her, choked her, and made love to her.

Wu Xian roughly ripped off the high collar. She turned around and looked in the mirror. There were no marks on her neck, only two small, bright red circles on the back of her neck, with a certain gap between them.

When she was taken home for a check-up, she told Ms. Wu that it was a birthmark.

The mother, who knew nothing about her daughter, accepted the explanation without hesitation, even though the child was born from her womb.

Only Wu Xian knew that these were two teeth marks, Mr. H's teeth marks.

One night he dug his fangs deep into her neck, leaving an indelible mark.

Now, it is fading, and the change is not very noticeable, but Wu Qian can tell at a glance that it is fading.

Just like her memory of Mr. H.

She had frequent dreams about their past, those blissful memories. In her dreams, everything was so clear except for Mr. H's face, which she couldn't make out, and she couldn't remember his name.

This is the opposite of reality. She can remember the man's appearance and name, but the things that happened in the dream are gradually fading away. When she opens her mouth, she can only remember the happiness. The more dreams she has, the less she can recount the details.

She couldn't remember the content of her previous dream, it seemed to be about buttocks... but Hobert had also done SP training with her, so the details became blurry even faster.

Perhaps one day, she will wake up and forget even the happy feelings.

She was forgetting, Wu Qian concluded, and she didn't know why this was happening.

Wu Qian didn't think too deeply. She was actually somewhat avoiding her past with Mr. H. Another reason was that the door opened, and her brother, Pei Wenbo, walked into the house and asked her, "Are you ready, Qianqian? Shall we go now?"

Wu Xian nodded. It was fine for the good brother to enter his mentally ill sister's house without knocking.

She simply missed Hobart because of this.

Hobert wasn't with Wu Qian, and they hung out together—that's how Wu Qian described it. They hung out for many days. Hobert had things to do during the day, so he still came over at night.

Today is also the day Wu Xian goes to see the doctor.

In order not to waste time with her master, she decided to schedule her useless activities during the day. This was also the first time she took the initiative to suggest to Pei Wenbo that she go to see a doctor.

Pei Wenbo believes this is a very optimistic sign, meaning his sister is recovering, while he himself knows nothing about it.

Wu Qian was taken to the clinic, where Jiang An was already waiting. He hadn't arranged for any other patients since he took over Wu Qian's care.

They went into the office to begin the meeting.

Wu Qian remained silent, and Jiang An asked the questions. This was not the normal procedure for psychological counseling. Logically speaking, after so long, they should at least have some deeper communication.

But now even during routine consultations, the doctor's answers depend on his mood.

The patient had no objections, the patient's family had no objections, and Jiang An dared not have any objections either.

"How have you been feeling lately, Miss Wu?"

"..."

How have you been sleeping lately?

"Um……"

"Are you eating?"

Jiang An is already preparing for the next one. As for food, it's a good thing that Wu Xian didn't mention that she ate a spider today.

"He ate a sandwich and steak," the owner said as he fed him.

"Oh, that's great! Have you been craving food lately? What kind of sandwich or steak?"

Wu Xian fell silent again.

Jiang An ended his conversation with "Miss Wu, remember to take your medicine," and waited for the patient to leave.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xian stared directly at him, her lips moving.

She frowned, "I..." and then closed her eyes again.

What does it mean if you can't remember what you dream about?

"It's perfectly normal not to remember what you dream about; it's just how our brains..."

“Oh,” Wu Xian interrupted him.

Why do I lose interest in things that I used to like?

"What?" Jiang An was not quite understanding.

"Is it because there are new things you like? Is that a good thing? The new replaces the old."

"It's certainly a good thing if you have a new hobby, Miss Wu. You should relax and go out more."

Wu Xian had already reached a conclusion, and unwilling to listen to any more nonsense, she left directly.

With Hobert and a new master, it's only natural that Mr. H was forgotten.

And isn't it a good thing to be happy in your dreams too?

This way, the owner won't punish Cloud for being disobedient and not sleeping properly.

——

Cloud is a woman who seems clingy but is actually quite cold; be careful not to be abandoned by her.
