Before the car had even come to a complete stop, she hurriedly pushed open the car door, climbed out, and her nimble movements made Old Xu a little scared.
She turned around and pulled the half-human-sized boy into her arms.
"You're doing something too dangerous!" Song Xingyao exclaimed.
The boy in front of her looked to be only in elementary school age. He didn't cry even after Song Xingyao yelled at him; he just stared at her blankly.
Looking around, she asked, "Where are your mom and dad?"
The boy fidgeted with his fingers and didn't respond to her.
Across the street, an anxious figure ran towards them; it was a woman with an artistic air about her.
Ignoring the traffic, she rushed to the boy, squatted down, circled him twice before speaking, "Su Nan, are you trying to scare your mother to death?"
Her voice was filled with anxiety and tears, "What will Mom do if something happens to you!"
Song Xingyao saw that the boy's eyes were red, but he still refused to answer. The man who had been following behind the woman was also standing to the side.
After she finished speaking, she noticed that there was someone standing next to her son. She grasped Song Xingyao's hands and said, "Thank you, thank you so much. I really don't know what I would do if something had really happened to him."
The woman kept bowing to express her gratitude, but when she looked up, she fell silent.
"Xingyao? It's you?" Su Li was also a little stunned when she saw Song Xingyao, because her eyes looked very unfamiliar, even though the two of them had just met a while ago.
For a moment, I didn't know how to greet them.
Song Xingyao quickly realized what was going on and asked, "You know me?" A hint of excitement also appeared in her eyes.
The hand that had been gripping hers was now being held tightly in return.
Su Li: "You...you don't remember me?" Her tone was hesitant, after all, this was really unbelievable.
Song Xingyao: "This matter... is a long story. Why don't we come to my office and talk about it slowly? I think you all need a quiet environment right now." Her gaze fell on Su Nan.
“Okay…” Su Li agreed, glancing back at the man who had been standing beside her. The man gave her a reassuring look.
So the three of them got into the car and went to Song Xingyao's office.
Su Li led the child in, looked around, and then said, "I heard Yiming say you were a psychotherapist last time. So you're a specially appointed expert here!"
Seeing her somewhat puzzled expression, I realized that she didn't remember.
Although Song Xingyao was puzzled, judging from her tone, she could probably guess that Su Li not only knew her, but also the people around her.
Heaven has been kind to us.
"Please sit down."
Su Li sat down and then remembered that she still had work to do. "Won't this disturb your work?"
"No, I didn't have an appointment this morning."
Song Xingyao's clinic appointments are by special appointment, so she can arrange her time freely when there is no appointment. This is why Song Xingyao has always felt that the hospital director's treatment of her, as a specialist, is a bit too good to be true.
Instead of asking, she turned to Su Nan beside her and said, "Why don't you answer my question first?"
Song Xingyao's gentle tone failed to elicit a response from him.
So she continued, "How about this, there's a small lounge next door with a sand table and books. Why don't you go over there and look at some books first, while my mom and I chat for a bit?"
His gaze was fixed on Su Li, and Song Xingyao caught the fleeting worry in his eyes.
Su Li nodded to him, and Su Nan then got up from the sofa and walked out.
He turned back twice after taking only a few steps, met Song Xingyao's gaze, and then went out and closed the door.
Su Li's expression was the same as everyone else's when they came for their first consultation; she didn't know where to begin.
It wasn't until Song Xingyao spoke up: "How did Su Nan suddenly appear there?"
Su Licai answered slowly, then sighed, "This morning, he ran into Liang Shen who was taking me home. Everything has been fine until now. Liang Shen has met him twice before and didn't react much. But this morning, for some reason, as soon as he opened the door and saw Liang Shen and me, he rushed out. Neither of us could catch up with him."
"Liang Shen? Is that the one who was standing next to me just now?"
"Yes, he is my boyfriend. I left his father in Su Nan when he was very young and came to Jiangcheng with him. We met Liang Shen by chance. He is a gentle and easy-going person. We have been together for more than a year, and he recently wanted to propose to me..."
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly added, "Su Nan might be so emotional because she heard that Liang Shen was going to propose to me this morning?"
As Song Xingyao listened, she quickly took notes of some of the details and then asked, "How did you and Su Nan's father separate?"
Su Li pondered for a moment, "My ex-husband was a very possessive person. After we got married, he wouldn't let me work and made me a full-time housewife. I loved him very much at the time and was pregnant with Su Nan, so I agreed and gave up my career. Later, due to company restructuring, he lost his job and beat and scolded me at home every day, even..." At this point, Su Li's emotions began to fluctuate.
“He even forced Su Nan to drink alcohol in front of me. He was such a young child! Later, with the help of my teachers and classmates, I was able to successfully divorce him and come to Jiangcheng.”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and the room fell silent for a long while.
Song Xingyao handed her a tissue and waited until she calmed down before putting down her pen and notebook.
"Sister Su Li, calm down first and wipe your tears, otherwise Su Nan will worry about you later. I'll let Su Nan in later and I'll talk to him."
Su Li hesitated for a moment, "Okay, but Xingyao is really introverted. Sometimes he can't say more than two words in a long time."
Song Xingyao smiled, "You've forgotten what I do! It's okay." She patted Su Li's hand and got up to get her a glass of water.
Once Su Li had calmed down completely, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, and both Song Xingyao and Su Li ran out.
He then realized that Su Nan was sitting on a boy who was even taller than him in the lounge.
He yelled at the boy, "Apologize! You can't do that!"
A thin woman lay beside the sand table.
Song Xingyao quickly went over and helped her up.
The woman's head hit the sand table; she was already somewhat disoriented, but she kept muttering, "Don't fight, don't fight..."
Two young and strong doctors separated the children.
The child who had just been lying on the ground felt extremely embarrassed when he saw that there were people all around him. In a fit of rage, he kicked Su Nan hard.
Fortunately, Su Li reacted quickly and pulled the person away.
The boy fell face-first to the ground, landing hard, and the next second, a piercing cry came from the lounge.
Su Li examined the child and found that he had no injuries, only two shallow fingernail marks on his face.
"Su Nan, what's going on?"
