Chapter 229 He Doesn’t Want You to Know
Before this, I had only seen Zhao Xitao’s psychological counseling room on TV or on screens.
But I saw it for the first time today.
Still more surprising than expected.
It's not luxurious, nor is it amazingly spacious.
But.
The greening rate reaches 50%, making it seem like a single low-rise building sitting in an ecological garden.
Rao is someone who often deals with plants.
Just stepped through the door.
Also subconsciously relax your consciousness.
It feels like you are in the middle of a forest, smelling the fresh fragrance and looking at the lush scenery.
"Hello, is this Miss Mu?"
Mu Yuan stopped and looked around, her sight falling on a boy in casual work clothes who came out to greet her.
Pursing her lips lightly, she said, "Hello."
Pang Duo raised his hand towards the inner room and said, "Hello, I am Dr. Zhao's assistant Pang Duo. Dr. Zhao is inside. Please follow me."
Mu Yuan smiled: "Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
As the door opened.
Mu Yuan saw Zhao Xitao standing by the sofa, looking at her with a smile: "Welcome, sister-in-law, please take a seat."
Mu Yuan walked to the sofa, her eyelashes lowered in thought: "Hello, Xitao, I'm sorry to bother you."
"We're family, so let's not talk about that. By the way, sister-in-law, the nurse told me that you stayed in the hospital all night last night to take care of my aunt. You must have worked hard."
"I'm worried about going back anyway, so I might as well just stay in the hospital."
Zhao Xitao smiled knowingly: "Sister-in-law, do you want to drink Yiwu or Banzhang? I'll have someone prepare it."
Mu Yuan's eyes paused slightly, and she chuckled, "Do you always serve raw Pu'er when you entertain guests here?"
Zhao Xitao laughed: "Then I'll go bankrupt. You love tea, right? I have a few cakes in my collection. Since you rarely come, I invite you to taste them."
Mu Yuan curved her eyes and said, "Thank you. I can do anything."
Zhao Xitao immediately looked up and told Pang Duo, who was still waiting at the door, "Xiao Pang, have my cake of Yiwu aged tea."
"Okay." Pang Duo closed the door.
I heard the door close.
Mu Yuan raised her eyes again: "Did he tell you that I like drinking tea?"
Zhao Xitao admitted generously: "Yes, to be honest, I also know that you like Cantonese food, watermelon, and watching old movies, etc."
Mu Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Does he...come to your place often?"
A hint of deep meaning flashed behind Zhao Xitao's glasses: "I came here quite a few times before I married you, but less often after we got married."
Mu Yuan's expression gradually became solemn.
This is the psychological counseling room.
Huo Min often comes...
She was distracted.
But then I heard Zhao Xitao jokingly saying, "After all, this is practically my home. If he wants to find me, he can only come here."
Mu Yuan pursed her lips, a faint smile spreading across her cold face. "Fortunately, you're his cousin, otherwise he'd be in and out of here so often. If he were photographed, there would be a stir. After all, the media likes to exaggerate things these days."
Zhao Xitao's smile faded a little, and he probed: "But it's really nothing. People eat whole grains, and they often have minor illnesses even if they are not seriously ill, not to mention mental illness."
Mu Yuan added a sharp tone to his voice, and smiled deeply, deliberately: "It's still different. Physical illness can be cured by taking medicine, but psychological illness can't be cured."
Zhao Xitao was helpless: "Sister-in-law, you have been led astray. I suddenly felt like I saw my aunt. My aunt thought the same thing. She never quite understood why I was engaged in this line of work."
Mu Yuan smiled and followed his lead: "Can I ask why you wanted to get into this line of work?"
Zhao Xitao relaxed, folded his hands behind his head, and looked up at the ceiling with his chin slightly tilted back. "Ah~ Why?~ Let me think about it."
"Knock knock." Pang Duo brought in two cups of tea.
"Thank you." Mu Yuan thanked Pang Duo at the invitation of Zhao Xitao.
Holding the exquisite ceramic teacup, he lowered his eyes and took a sip of hot tea.
The aroma of tea is everywhere, intertwined with the fragrance of silk flowers.
A smile appeared on her brows as she praised, "The tea is delicious."
"Pfft, then my brother is really good at picking. He picked something that suits your taste."
Mu Yuan's smile froze: "Did he bring this tea?"
"To be precise, I picked them up. He often goes to various famous tea auctions and collects a lot of good tea. I was curious, so I asked him to pick up a few cakes, but he was really stingy. He refused to give me more and said he would keep them for you to drink."
Mu Yuan's palms were burning.
She pursed her lips tightly and her eyes flickered.
Zhao Xitao had been observing her expression, and finally got straight to the point: "Sister-in-law, you came here today not only to ask me this, right?"
Mu Yuan suddenly clenched the teacup.
She swallowed hard. "I do have something I want to ask you."
"About my brother?"
Mu Yuan said softly, "Yeah."
Seeing her hesitate and conflicted.
Zhao Xitao sighed lightly and took the initiative: "Sister-in-law, but my brother has clearly stated that he doesn't want you to know about this matter."
Mu Yuan frowned slightly: "Why?"
Zhao Xitao looked at her and said, "I think it's because of low self-esteem and insecurity."
Mu Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter: "I don't understand."
Zhao Xitao stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "It's a long story."
Mu Yuan immediately said: "I have time!"
She spoke too fast and her urgency was obvious.
Zhao Xitao was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Then let me tell you slowly."
The light outside the window suddenly dimmed.
The sky is overcast.
After a while.
Drip.
Small raindrops covered the glass windows, gathered into clumps, and fell onto the leaves, causing the branches to bend under the weight.
The raindrops sank into the soil.
In the soil, it starts a new adventure of its own.
Mu Yuan didn't even remember how he left the psychological counseling room and returned to the hospital.
What Zhao Xitao said.
Every word was like it was burned into her brain.
She could even repeat it.
The rain splashed onto her white shoes, making them gray and dirty.
The rain is really heavy.
Even with an umbrella, her back was wet.
She stepped onto the steps of the hospital gate and was about to lower her head to close her umbrella.
"Yuanyuan."
The familiar, low-pitched male voice caused her to look up in response.
Huo Min stood in the corridor.
Just standing still.
They have become the most eye-catching, prominent and outstanding existence wherever you look.
The next second when they looked up.
He strode up to her.
His brows furrowed, and without a word he took off his suit jacket and put it on her.
His well-defined features were filled with worry: "It's raining so hard, why don't you find a place to hide first?"
The coat that carried his warmth and the faint scent of fir wood instantly warmed her up even though she was feeling a little cold.
Huo Min's dark eyes glanced at her shoes, which were obviously soaked with water and had a darker color, and his eyes became even gloomier.
"You didn't get enough rest last night. You'll get sick if you get caught in the rain again."
"I..." she began and then stopped.
The pupils twitched violently.
Before leaving.
Zhao Xitao said, "Sister-in-law, please keep this a secret for now. If my brother knew I told you, I would be finished."
She asked, "But why are you willing to tell me?"
Zhao Xitao smiled and said, "Because it was you who pulled him from darkness to light. I tried for a long time but couldn't do it. Only you can do it. Sister-in-law, please believe that he likes you, more than you think. As for betrayal, it is impossible, because anyone who has seen the light will never be willing to return to darkness."
He finished speaking.
He smiled broadly, "I do my best to help anyone struggling in darkness return to the light. That's why I'm in this line of work. Not to mention, the reason he got involved with Don Nana was all my bad idea. I only wanted to distract him from his pain and rekindle his emotions, but I didn't expect to push him into another abyss myself. Thank you for showing up, so I have the opportunity to atone for my sins."
