The doctor is in a hurry to go home under the bright moon and the counselor is slow to react against the strong wind.
"Ahem..." Ke Yike greeted him and asked, "Where's Ying'er?"
"I went to the factory." Lin Yiyi answered concisely.
"Oh... there's something new on the window."
"Decoration, love."
Ke Yike seemed to understand, but not quite, and just squinted his eyes to deal with it, "Oh..."
Xue Jiuyue leaned weakly against the sofa. She was exhausted from suppressing her heartache. She swallowed her tears, finally sorting out a thread of thought from the tangled web. If the "spitting star" was Liu Che, then he had known everything from the beginning, and this misunderstanding could be easily cleared up. If the "spitting star" was not Liu Che, then no matter how difficult it was, an explanation was necessary.
Xue Jiuyue went backstage, took out her cell phone and logged on.
I have already found the avatar of "Spit Star" among the few contacts, but he still hasn't popped up and flashed like usual.
He's not online! After all, he's not a machine that can be online 24 hours a day. Or maybe he's angry and hasn't come online yet. Xue Jiuyue feels a little more hopeful.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Xue Jiuyue was already sitting alone in the car parked outside with her mobile phone in her hand, but she still hadn't waited for this "military advisor" to come online.
As her patience was exhausted by the flashing clock on her phone, Xue Jiuyue also gathered up the courage to implement Plan B. She called Liu Che directly. The excuse she prepared was to ask Liu Che if he needed lunch delivered at noon.
Unfortunately, the notification tone actually meant that the phone was turned off. Xue Jiuyue was completely panicked. When she switched back online, "Spit Star" was still motionless.
Xue Jiuyue returned to "Inch by Inch of Time" and walked straight to Ke Yike. "Ahem, is my takeout order ready?"
"What time is it now, Sister Yue? It's not time yet!"
"If we do it now, how long will it take to heal?"
"Half an hour."
"Okay, let's do it now. I'll deliver it myself." Xue Jiuyue made up her mind.
"Okay!" Ke Yike took the order and started working, calling out, "Ying'er, help me."
"Zhou Ying went to the factory. Yiyi, please help with the coughing."
Only then did Ke Yike remember that Zhou Ying was not there.
Xue Jiuyue took the prepared lunch and went straight to Xinru Mental Health Counseling Center, but when she arrived at the gate, she was told that Liu Che was not there.
"Doctor Liu went out in the morning and never came back. Later, Director Gao came to inform me that he had taken leave, but he didn't tell me when he would be back." The old man at the door told Xue Jiuyue.
He sat back in the car dejectedly, took out his cell phone, and finally this time he got the response from his military advisor.
"Okay, Miss Yue!"
"Why did you just come?" Xue Jiuyue spoke frankly.
"Why, has the beautiful Yue been waiting for me? Wow, I am so lucky to have the favor of Princess Yue."
Xue Jiuyue ignored the other party's nonsense and turned the emotions she had been holding back for the whole morning into simple and direct words, "Are you him?"
"Who is he? Why does Princess Yue ask this again? What happened that made you bring up the same old question?"
"My psychiatrist, are you him?! Tell the truth!"
"I'm not!" "Spitting Star" answered concisely and formally.
Since they met, Liu Che had never lied to Xue Jiuyue, at most he would try to be clever and take advantage of loopholes. But Xue Jiuyue asked so clearly, if Liu Che was just a "spitting child", he would have no loopholes to take advantage of unless he lied.
Xue Jiuyue was still thinking when "Spit Star" sent another message: "What happened? Can you tell me?"
"It was actually a misunderstanding. I brought it to him this time..."
Xue Jiuyue recounted the entire story to "Spitting Star". After typing a long paragraph, Xue Jiuyue's panic gradually calmed down.
"He has poor eyesight, how did he leave? Was he waiting for a taxi on the roadside?" "Spit Star" asked a detail, as if to prove again that he was not Liu Che.
"He was walking along the road with his hand outstretched. Soon a taxi stopped and he got in." When Xue Jiuyue finished describing what happened based on her memory, she understood Liu Che's state of mind at the time, and a wave of heartache made her feel uncomfortable.
"Spit Star"'s analysis confirmed Xue Jiuyue's feelings, "Well, he didn't even want to wait, and was eager to leave your sight. He really believed that what he heard was the truth!"
"What should we do then?"
Spit Star didn't answer. "My young master, I'd like to ask, what are you worried about? Are you worried that the doctor will get angry and ignore you?"
"A little bit. His phone has been off for over two hours."
"Well, that's about right. He should have changed his flight ticket and flew back home!"
"Is this true? Are you so sure?"
"Please, Princess Yue, are you two just playing house? Or are you just online friends who can't talk to each other and block each other if you have a falling out? Like me? What happened this morning was just a misunderstanding. If the doctor loves you, even if he doesn't know the details between you and Jun, even if he misunderstood your angry words before, he will at most be angry for a moment and will listen to your explanation. He won't block you without knowing the truth. My lady, there is no need to worry like me, living in fear all day, afraid that any words will offend you and get you fired."
"Spitting Star"'s persuasion, which was three parts false and seven parts true, not only made Xue Jiuyue listen, but also made her burst into laughter. "So what you mean is that it's okay, just explain it?"
"Well, strategically we must despise the enemy, but tactically we must take the enemy seriously! It's okay to deal with the problem, but a radical solution can't be achieved overnight."
Faced with the "Spit Star"'s mysterious tricks, Xue Jiuyue cooperated with him for once, "Then what do you say we should do?"
"Like many scams, victims only need a little verification or even a moment's reflection to uncover the truth, but why don't they? Often, even after seeing the truth, they still refuse to believe it. Because they'd rather believe the lie! Misunderstandings are like scams. The doctor could get the answer with just a phone call, so why didn't he? The root cause lies in his own inner restraint and forbearance. He loves you dearly, but reason tells him that others can give you a happier life, and letting go is true love. He's deeply ingrained in the belief that his poor eyesight is a burden to you, which is why he claims to have a clear conscience. However, transference makes him doubt that your feelings for him are truly romantic. He constantly struggles with this contradiction, leaving everything to fate. So, a misunderstanding might be a sign for him to let go."
Tu Xinyue's theory was somewhat similar to what Tu Xinyue had said before. Xue Jiyue believed it. She had no choice but to believe it. The "Yuezhu Temple" incident was the best example. Xue Jiyue was at a loss. "Ah? You mean he will completely disappear from my world because of this misunderstanding? Didn't you just say he wouldn't... And I told him implicitly before that I didn't mind. He understood!"
"My lord, don't worry! Since he has this idea, the initiative is in your hands. What's there to panic about? As for your previous explanation, let alone telling him implicitly, even telling him directly would be useless! My lord, this idea is indestructible and will not be easily changed by your words. The last time you two misunderstood, I advised you to wait. In fact, I hoped that time would ferment the feelings into a turbulent wave that would break through his own defenses. I just didn't expect him to be so stubborn."
Xue Jiuyue thought for a moment and replied, "Then I can also call him first and explain everything clearly."
"My dear, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
This time Xue Jiuyue didn't confront him, "Go ahead."
"My lady, although it was just a misunderstanding, the doctor didn't express any objections when he left. So your rash explanation is tantamount to confessing your feelings. My lady, have you thought it through?"
Xue Jiuyue hesitated. "It's not that I can't take the initiative to confess, but I always feel that girls should be more reserved. I don't understand. I have no experience at all. Do you know?"
"My lady, it doesn't matter whether I know or not. What matters is, Princess Yue, have you thought it through? Are you sure your hesitation is due to your reserve? Are you sure the doctor is the one you love? Are you sure your current condition allows you to love without any worries?"
"Spitting Star's" question was very sharp and to the point. Xue Jiuyue pondered it carefully before slowly replying, "My physical condition is much better now. I can clearly feel that I am only one step away from recovery."
"The gradual improvement has given you confidence, so you want to make a choice in advance?"
"Not really. I can't really say... If I were to remain unwell, I wouldn't want to see him suffer. It's just that if I didn't hear from him, I would suffer."
"My lord, would you like to hear what I have to say?"
"explain!"
"Wait a little longer, wait for time to calm the impulse and let the longing become more mellow. Then you will be able to understand your feelings more clearly and understand each other's intentions better!"
"How long will it take?"
"That depends on your previous relationship. Wait until you can't wait any longer! Maybe it'll be a day or two, or maybe it'll be a lifetime! You two, alas, are in the same boat, and someone will always be needed to break the deadlock. My lord, I'm more optimistic about you!"
After a detailed and detailed analysis, Xue Jiuyue calmed down and felt much better. "You're really not him? Why do I feel like you're just a stooge?"
"Really? Why would I lie to you about this? If I were him, I would have known the reason behind your relationship with Jun. I would have known what you were really thinking. I wouldn't have lost my composure when I left just now. Unless I've read 'An Actor's Self-Cultivation'!"
"Spit Star" used props from Stephen Chow's movies to prove his innocence, but it aroused Xue Jiuyue's new interest, "Which university did you graduate from?"
"My dear, come on, you've just had a heated argument with the doctor, and you still have the time to care about my education level? Are you trying to find someone else to distract yourself from your pain?"
"Go to hell! I just remembered that there seemed to be a university that used Stephen Chow's movies as the first lesson for admission, so I asked you casually." After being hypnotized by Liu Che, Xue Jiuyue was confirmed that her previous dream was a memory. When her mood improved, she asked "Spit Star" to see if he could confirm it.
"I really don't know. I graduated from a second-rate university, otherwise I wouldn't be online every day. And I know that many college students really admire Stephen Chow's films."
Xue Jiuyue didn't care much about it, so she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she started to wonder about the times when "Spit Star" would appear. "You're not online 24 hours a day. You weren't here this morning! You were away at the same time as the doctor!"
"My dear, I am a human, not an AI. I need to eat and sleep!"
"Oh, right, AI, how do you prove you weren't AI-generated?" Xue Jiuyue wasn't kidding. "Spitting Star's" lightning-fast typing speed, incredibly long "standby" time, and broad knowledge base truly fit the profile of an AI. And these kinds of AI chat companions are already available, though I wonder if they can be customized. I'll have to ask my dad about that later.
"Princess Yue, are you calling me a non-human? I haven't done anything unscrupulous recently. At most, I occasionally fantasize about your peerless beauty and then fall into a deep sleep..."
"Go to hell!" The half-dirty joke of "Spit Star" successfully angered Xue Jiuyue and diverted all attention.
Not only Xue Jiuyue will call for help, but Qian Jianjun, who was praised by Tu Xinyue as "turning everything into his own use", will also call for help.
