Li Tianfeng continued calmly, "Life is short. People say that we are born to experience hardships. That's why we should eat more sweets. If we are hard-hearted, we won't feel it is too bitter."

A big pear was eaten up in Xu Yao's mouth in no time, leaving only the core. With a beautiful parabola, Xu Yao threw the core into the trash can,

"This pear is not sweet enough."

Li Tianfeng seemed to have been prepared, and took out two chocolates from his pocket. Long strips of coffee-black chocolate burst out from the golden wrapping paper. He handed them to Xu Yao and said,

"Try this."

Xu Yao took the chocolate and asked in confusion, "Li Tianfeng, you are quite strange, a grown man always carries chocolate in his pocket."

Li Tianfeng didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "In your impression, it is very strange for an adult man to carry chocolate with him, right?"

He tore open the wrapping paper while speaking, took a piece of chocolate and put it into his mouth, tasting it with relish.

"Try it, you will feel much better immediately."

Xu Yao peeled off the wrapping paper and did as he said. Li

Tianfeng said again: "I don't really like sweets, I only eat chocolate."

Xu Yao knew that Li Tianfeng had a habit of eating chocolate, but he never told the specific reason, so he raised his head and stared at him intently with raised eyebrows.

Li Tianfeng replied calmly, "I seldom had the chance to eat chocolate in my childhood. Only during the Chinese New Year or when I went out to pay New Year's greetings to others, would my grandparents give me chocolate. Some uncles and aunts would also pass me one or two pieces of chocolate."

He continued to tell his story in a soothing tone and voice, "I read a book in which a celebrity once said: In fact, people are all similar, and unfortunate people have their own misfortunes.

In fact, we often only see the surface of people. Often in places you don't see, there are actually many people who are more unfortunate than you, and they may not all be living well now."

Xu Yao was a little confused about the situation, and his eyes widened. He didn't understand why Li Tianfeng told him all this?

Xu Yao's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a little sympathy.

Li Tianfeng continued, "My childhood was miserable. My father was a gambler and violent. He was also lazy and never went out to earn money. My mother played both the role of a father and a mother after she gave birth to me, and she raised me up.

But the good times didn't last long. In this tragic environment, my mother eventually had a mental breakdown. Later, I studied psychology and learned that it was called bipolar disorder, a type of mood disorder with both depressive and manic episodes.

I was very young at the time, about five or six years old, and I only have a vague impression of it. I only remember that she was very gentle to my brother and me when she was not ill, but most of the time she was very kind to me and my brother. , she didn't remember who we were.

This was not the most unfortunate thing. When I was six years old, my father died unexpectedly in a pond, and my mother was told by my grandmother to marry a bachelor from another town.

I still remember that day when it was snowing heavily. The matchmaker came to the room to see my mother. The relatives in my father's village did not agree to let us brothers go, saying that at least one should be kept.

My brother said to me at the time, "Fengfeng, I will go to see mom off and buy you some delicious chocolates by the way."

Li Tianfeng said it lightly, even with a smile, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are red.

"Am I stupid enough to abandon myself just for greedily eating a piece of chocolate! Guess what happened later..."

Xu Yao could no longer laugh, his heart was heavy, "Your brother didn't come back in the end, right?"

Li Tianfeng's thoughts drifted far away, "It was snowing heavily outside at the time, and I refused to go into the house. I firmly believed that my brother would not abandon me, but when it got dark and I was frozen into a popsicle, my brother didn't show up.

I had a high fever the next day, and all I could say was 'Brother, brother!' At that time, I hated my mother and my brother, but later I realized that my brother also needed his consideration and care, and I should understand him."

"Maybe your brother has unspeakable difficulties, or maybe something unexpected happened." Xu Yao felt that his comfort was in vain.

Xu Yao felt upset as he listened. He called himself Li Tianfeng's buddy, but he never tried to understand his inner world. On the one hand, he thought that Li Tianfeng himself was a psychologist and would be able to adjust himself. Li Tianfeng

suddenly stared at Xu Yao and was silent for half a second. When he spoke again, he turned into the calm and composed Professor Li.

"Xu Yao, you are right. Why should I let hatred occupy my mind and make myself unhappy?

In fact, you are the same. You don't need to put all that unnecessary pressure on yourself."

Li Tianfeng's bottomless black eyes kept staring at Xu Yao, as if he could see all his emotions from his eyes.

This time, all the disguises on Xu Yao's body have collapsed, and he couldn't help but confess,

"Can I really release the pressure? That's because you didn't see the scene of your most beloved person dying in front of you.

Now whenever I fall asleep, those painful scenes are always playing in front of my eyes.

Their desperate screams keep lingering in my ears, and they keep crying for me to give them back their lives."

Xu Yao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his body trembled and shrank back to the back of the bed. Li Tianfeng hurriedly walked over and pressed Xu Yao's shoulders with his hands.

"Xu Yao, calm down and listen to me. Don't keep everything in your heart. You will feel much better if you tell it out."

Xu Yao finally let down his guard and began to talk slowly. Mo Xiaoqing, who had just returned from shopping, was just outside the door. She didn't dare to come in, so she had to wait outside. It just so happened that she heard everything Xu Yao said.

"I have had three serious girlfriends, and each time I dated them with the intention of getting married.

But things don't always go as planned. My first girlfriend's car broke down and she fell off a cliff. My

second girlfriend was traveling and I just walked away for a while before I heard her calling. I ran over and found that she had fallen down the hillside, holding a sapling tightly in her hand.

She called out my name and asked me to rescue her quickly.

But in the end, before I could reach her, the roots of the sapling were pulled out and she fell into the abyss. When I saw her again, she had become a wet, pale corpse.

I originally thought it was just an accident because I am a materialist. But when my third girlfriend, Li Mengyao, broke her legs on the stage, I began to reflect on myself. "..."

Li Tianfeng interrupted, "Could it be that you have been a policeman for so many years, and you were beaten up in retaliation?"

"I thought so too, so I spent a lot of time, but no matter how hard I tried, the result showed that these were all accidents.

Therefore, the only explanation is that I am an ominous person and I don't deserve love."

Li Tianfeng said: "So, you chose to escape, you chose to put all the responsibility on yourself, and in the end you were overwhelmed by the pressure and suffered from insomnia, right?

Xu Yao, are you a policeman? I just said that you are an ominous person, which should not come out of your mouth at all.

You have to believe that those were just accidents."

Li Tianfeng moved another stool, sat beside the bed and said: "

So you feel guilty, this is a typical post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD).

PSTD has several clinical symptoms: difficulty falling asleep, or difficulty sleeping; irritability or anger; difficulty concentrating; over-vigilance, excessive fright reaction.

Xu Yao, if you don't untie this knot deep in your heart, your psychological problems will become more and more serious. Do you know what the final result of psychological problems will be?"

Li Tianfeng's tone immediately became very serious,

"In the end, the patient will show drug abuse addiction, severe aggressive behavior, self-mutilation or suicidal behavior, etc., and will also be accompanied by severe depression symptoms."

Xu Yao was also frightened when he heard it, and asked quickly: "Then Professor Li, how do you say it should be treated?"

"According to current evidence-based medicine, psychotherapy is the most effective way to cure PTSD. Commonly used psychotherapy for PTSD includes cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, psychoanalysis, etc. Drug therapy is definitely effective in relieving patients' symptoms and strengthening psychological treatment. The combined use of the two should be the first choice. Currently, the preferred treatment drugs are SSRIs, among which sertraline, paroxetine, and fluoxetine have better therapeutic effects...."

Xu Yao listened to Li Tianfeng talking a lot, but he had already told him what he had always wanted to hide in his heart. Now he felt relaxed and felt like he was alive again.

But he still wanted to fight for discharge: "Fengfeng, I want to discuss something with you. After listening to your talk just now, I feel much more relaxed now.

I promise that I will honestly follow the steps you said and let you treat me wholeheartedly. But I hope you can give me ten days to finish the review of this case, okay?"

Li Linfeng's eyes suddenly widened, "You really don't want to live, you know this time you are only a line away from death."

Xu Yao rolled his eyes, "It's just a coma for a day, why do you say it so seriously."

"Mental illness may not seem like a big deal, but it can be very powerful. What's more, your condition is already very bad. My suggestion is that you start treatment immediately."

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't convince Li Tianfeng. Xu Yao became a little anxious and his voice was many times louder. "Why doesn't your explanation make sense? I told you that just give me another ten days."
