Chapter 166 A New Date?

Seeing Qu He covering her forehead, Zhuang Bieyan's heart clenched painfully.

At that moment, he almost had the urge to tell everything!

However, the words he was about to say were ultimately swallowed back down, and everything turned into deeper pity and helplessness.

He stepped forward, gently pulled Qu He into his arms, and tenderly patted her back, offering silent comfort.

Throughout the entire process, Grandpa Yu's gaze remained fixed on Zhuang Bieyan.

His inner struggle was laid bare at this moment!

After Qu He calmed down, Grandpa Yu said, "If you still insist on trying hypnosis, you can go to the next room with Tianbao to do a small test to assess your subconscious state and suggestibility."

Qu He subconsciously looked at Zhuang Bieyan.

"I'll stay with you." Zhuang Bieyan immediately stood up.

"You stay." Grandpa Yu's tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority. "This test must be conducted alone."

Qu He gave Zhuang Bieyan a look and then left the living room with Tianbao.

Zhuang Bieyan's gaze followed her back until the door was closed.

He looked away and turned to meet Grandpa Yu's eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

Do you really want her to remember?

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Bieyan clenched his fist instantly.

A heavy, oppressive silence filled the air.

The quiz was short.

When Qu He returned to the living room, she saw Zhuang Bieyan and Grandpa Yu sitting opposite each other, chatting happily in a harmonious atmosphere.

Tianbao stepped forward and whispered the test results to Grandpa Yu.

After hearing this, Grandpa Yu nodded knowingly.

He looked at Qu He and said with certainty, "Child, given your situation, it's not difficult to recover that memory through hypnosis."

Qu He's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "When can I start the hypnosis?"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Yu chuckled twice, with a touch of humor: "You little girl, do you think hypnosis is like in the TV dramas, where you just wave a pocket watch in front of your eyes and the person falls asleep and spills all their secrets?"

Qu He wasn't embarrassed at all that her thoughts had been exposed. "Isn't that right?"

"It's not that simple," Grandpa Yu said with a smile, shaking his head and gently patting his back. "It's a very mentally taxing thing."

Qu He quickly replied, "I can do it."

“It’s not that Grandpa looks down on you! That Shang family kid has extraordinary perseverance, but after more than a year, he’s only reached the third deep hypnosis session. I’m getting old, and my energy is limited, so it’s your turn…”

He pretended to be deep in thought, counting on his fingers, and said slowly, "I reckon it won't be my turn until around March next year."

"Next March?" Qu He's shoulders slumped instantly, unable to hide her disappointment.

"However,"

Grandpa Yu changed the subject, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "It's not like there's no other way."

The situation took a turn for the better, and it became clear that God was still looking out for her.

Qu He immediately straightened her back, and hope rekindled in her eyes.

Grandpa Yu glanced discreetly at Zhuang Bieyan, who remained silent beside him.

With a meaningful look, he said, "Your situation isn't actually that complicated. As the old saying goes, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Since this lost memory is something you both experienced together, then he..."

He pointed at Zhuang Bieyan, "Perhaps, that is the best antidote to awaken your memories."

Qu He: "???"

She didn't quite understand.

"Then I'll be more blunt,"

Grandpa Yu stroked his beard and explained earnestly, "My suggestion is that during this waiting period, you might as well try to relive your past life."

Qu He listened with a sense of understanding but not quite.

Seeing her confusion, Grandpa Yu further explained: "Now that you know part of the past, take this knowledge with you and consciously repeat and experience the things you once went through together. You can also try some things you haven't done before."

The recreation of the environment and the resonance of emotions can sometimes touch upon deep-seated, sealed memories more effectively than any hypnosis technique. Who knows, a new turning point might just naturally emerge.

"Experience something you've never done before? For example?"

“How would an old man like me know about the lives of you young people? Just do whatever you do on your dates,” Grandpa Yu said.

"Dating?"

She subconsciously looked at Zhuang Bieyan.

It seems they've never dated.

Before, I felt we weren't familiar with each other; now, we're completely familiar...

Qu He frowned even more deeply: "Will this really work?"

"In psychology, no doctor can give a 100% guarantee."

Grandpa Yu frankly said, "Of course, you can also choose to wait patiently until next March, when we will conduct formal hypnotherapy."

Upon hearing that it would have to wait until next year, Qu He's expression immediately changed.

She quickly stood up, took Zhuang Bieyan's hand, and spoke in a lighthearted tone as if she were a different person: "I think Grandpa Yu is absolutely right, we can give it a try!"

Zhuang Bieyan was slightly taken aback by her sudden argument, and then a hint of helpless tenderness appeared in his eyes.

After saying goodbye to Grandpa Yu, the two left the small building hand in hand.

After seeing the guests off, Tianbao returned to the living room.

Grandpa Yu stood in front of the French windows, gazing at the ivy outside, and murmured to himself, "Tianbao, when do you think the last ivy leaf on this wall will fall?"

Tianbao followed his gaze and saw the lush greenery covering the wall. He replied, "Master, the weather forecast says a new typhoon is coming soon. I'm afraid it won't last more than a few days."

"Yeah?"

Grandpa Yu sighed softly, his tone deep, "Then go outside and add a windproof frame for them, so they can hold on for a few more days. Even just one more day would be good."

Okay.

Grandpa Yu took one last deep look at the lush greenery swaying in the wind, as if looking through it at something else, then sighed and turned to leave.

From the moment they stepped out of the small building until they got into the car, Qu He and Zhuang Bieyan held hands the entire time.

At first, she took the initiative to hold his hand, but later Zhuang Bieyan became reluctant to let go.

He only let go of her hand after he got into the car.

Qu He subconsciously rubbed her slightly warm palms, where his touch still lingered.

Zhuang Bieyan started the car, but did not drive away immediately.

He turned his head, his gaze complex, "If you feel that Grandpa Yu's method is not scientific enough, or if you are unwilling, I can immediately contact other psychologists to use a more direct approach."

Qu He met his gaze and saw the deep struggle hidden in his eyes.

She smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself. Zhuang Bieyan, let's just give it a try as Grandpa Yu suggested."
