Chapter 355 Back to Reality (6) - Going to See a Psychologist

Si Zhong felt that since Ning Shu was willing to acknowledge this place as her "home," what did it matter if he was scolded a little?

He had been holding Ning Shu in his arms, and Ning Shu tried to pull away but couldn't, so he pinned her down.

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately and neglected you. I won't do it again."

"I'll help you find your parents. Tell me which city, street, and neighborhood they live in, and I'll send someone to their door."

Ning Shu quieted down because she couldn't remember.

She didn't know why she had even forgotten which city they were in, and she was even more afraid that the last scene in her dream would become reality.

"I can't remember. I'm so scared. I've been held captive for so long. What if something happens to them? Waaah~"

She cried her heart out in his arms, her former strength shattered in that moment.

Si Zhong felt a pang of sympathy and gently comforted them, "They'll be alright, don't be sad. If they find out, they'll be heartbroken."

Ke Ning couldn't stop crying. He knew she needed to vent, so he let her cry.

After she stopped crying, he looked down and found that she had fallen asleep.

He guessed that she had cried too much and tossed and turned all night, and finally couldn't stay awake any longer.

Si Zhong tucked her into bed, washed up, and then came back to hold her as they fell asleep.

The next day, when Si Zhong got up and saw that Ning Shu hadn't gotten up yet, he told Xia to call him when Ning Shu woke up.

When Ning Shu woke up, she found that the back door of the room was locked and she could only enter and exit through the front door. There were many more bodyguards at the front door and inside the manor.

Xia was particularly good at reading people's expressions. When she saw Ning Shu frowning, she explained, "Mr. Si was worried about your safety, so he sent some bodyguards over to protect you."

Ning Shu knew perfectly well that all this talk about protecting her safety was just a way of worrying that she might run away again at the slightest provocation.

This man is so cunning!

While she was still eating, Xia handed her a personal terminal: "Miss Ning, Mr. Si is looking for you."

Ning Shu put down her chopsticks and took the personal terminal: "Hello."

"Are you up? Are you feeling better?" Si Zhong's voice came from the other end of the line, clear and pleasant.

"Hmm, much better. When are you coming back?" Ning Shu's voice was muffled, sounding a bit childish.

"...I'll be going back in the evening." Si Zhong was flattered and remained silent for a while before answering, then added, as if that wasn't enough, "Did you miss me?"

"...You go to work." Ning Shu hung up the phone after saying that, her face slightly red.

Si Zhong couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, showing no annoyance at her hanging up the call.

Ning Shu's rehabilitation training has been completed, and Xiao Guo no longer comes to her home to provide training. Feeling somewhat idle, she begins to think about how to find her parents.

She remembered that her therapist had a technique called hypnosis, and wondered if she could try hypnotizing herself to perhaps regain her lost memories.

She mentioned this to Si Zhong, and Si Zhong did not object: "After I finish these few days of work, I will accompany you to see a psychologist."

Ning Shu felt it wasn't necessary for him to accompany her: "I can go by myself. Professor Su said I'm fine."

She didn't want to be treated like a disabled person, needing him to accompany her everywhere.

She has to be self-reliant eventually, but for now, she needs to find her parents and then consider finding a job again.

As a result, Xia and several bodyguards accompanied Ning Shu to see a psychologist. The psychologist was named Zhang Li, a very young woman.

Ning Shu had a prejudice against doctors' ages, feeling that the doctor was so young and worried that his medical skills might not be up to par.

As a result, Si Zhong gave him a lecture: "Prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a mountain."

Ning Shu rolled her eyes at him, but Si Zhong still explained properly: "She looks young, but she's actually over 50."

Really?!

"Did this doctor eat preservatives?" Ning Shu asked incredulously, looking at him with a "don't try to fool me" expression.

Si Zhong chuckled: "She has a great reputation. Without my help, you might not even be able to become her patient."

Hearing this, Ning Shu became more expectant: "Then I'll definitely be able to remember where my parents are very soon."

Si Zhong's smile suddenly froze, and he awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if agreeing with her.

Because of her illness, Si Zhong hadn't touched Ning Shu for a long time. Now that she had recovered, Si Zhong couldn't resist anymore.

On the spacious bed, two figures were entangled together, their limbs intertwined, making love.

At first, Ning Shu could withstand Si Zhong's madness, but gradually she couldn't take it anymore and began to push him away.

Si Zhong was somewhat disappointed by her lack of cooperation, but this time he didn't act forcefully; instead, he feigned grievance:

"You've been recovering from your injury for so long, and I've been enduring it for so long. How could you bear to do this to me?"

The voice was full of accusations against Ning Shu for refusing.

Ning Shu thought that during this period, he no longer left early and returned late, but basically came back to be with her as soon as he got off work.

He even accompanied her to see a psychologist, which was indeed a great service, so she let him do whatever he wanted.

When Si Zhong saw that Ning Shu had taken the bait, he was overjoyed. Thinking that this was a golden opportunity, he treated himself to a meal without hesitation.

The next day, Ning Shu got up, tidied up, and went to the window. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside, she fell into deep thought.

Did she really leave the game?

If it really is true, why does everything around her always feel somewhat unreal to her?

She didn't know where the problem lay, and could only keep adapting to it all.

"You're up? Have breakfast first."

Suddenly, Si Zhong appeared behind her and affectionately put his arm around her.

"I'm going to Dr. Zhang's for a follow-up appointment today, will you come with me?"

"certainly."

Si Zhong answered readily, but as they were about to leave, Si Chen stopped him. Si Zhong looked at Ning Shu with some difficulty.

Ning Shu thought it was just a follow-up appointment and nothing serious: "Go ahead, Xia can come with me."

Si Zhong nodded: "Let Bai Chi and Bai Hai accompany you."

The Bai brothers were bodyguards assigned to Ning Shu by Si Zhong, and she almost always took them with her when she went out.

Ning Shu felt that this follow-up visit still had no effect.

The things she dreamed about during hypnosis were basically the same as before; even the appearance of her parents didn't become clearer.

Ning Shu felt that Dr. Zhang was trying very hard to throw a punch, but only managed to hit something that looked like cotton.

She was very distressed, wondering how long it would take before she could reunite with her parents.

On the way back, Ning Shu suggested that she wanted to wander around by herself, but Xia Xia dared not agree and privately consulted Si Zhong.

Si Zhong nodded and told them to follow along, so the three of them accompanied Ning Shu around.

This was the first time Ning Shu had walked alone on the street since leaving the game.

At first, her body wouldn't allow it, but later, when her body was fine, she had to see a psychologist.

The rest of the time she spent was either at the manor or with Si Zhong.

"Excuse me, young lady, how do I get to this place?" an elderly woman asked, pointing to a spot on a map.
