Chapter 114 Plan
Zhou Ran's words didn't make her feel much at ease.
Yan Nian knew what was happening to him: "Why not just forget it? Maybe one day it will all get better."
Given Xu Yiqing's current attitude towards her, maybe she won't be afraid when she wakes up one day.
Zhou Ran looked at her without saying a word.
Their eyes met again in the dim light, and finally, Yan Nian lowered her head and said dejectedly, "I don't want to take medicine." She didn't want anyone to know that she had a problem. Being able to talk about this with Zhou Ran was already the limit.
Don’t want to be tired Zhou Ran.
I once heard Xu Yiqing and Yan Qilin arguing. Yan Qilin asked her to see a doctor, and Yan Nian also questioned countless times whether she was also sick and needed to see a doctor.
Not an ordinary doctor, but a psychiatrist.
Zhou Ran patted her back with concern: "You don't need medication to treat it. This is just a small problem. Yanyan is not at the point where she needs to take medicine yet, understand?"
Yan Nian's fingers were cold. Perhaps it was because of her frequent failures that she began to feel repulsed. Even her determination to overcome the difficulties was deflated after she finished talking to Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran stopped there and kissed her forehead: "Sorry Yanyan."
The last thing Yan Nian wanted to hear was Zhou Ran apologizing to her, so she separated from his embrace: "What?"
Zhou Ran: "I told others."
Yan Nian knew what he was referring to and shook her head: "Mu Chen and my cousin are not others. They helped me a lot when I was in college. It's okay."
Xu Ke and Mu Chen helped her a lot without Xu Yiqing knowing. If it weren't for them, Yan Nian didn't know how she would have survived that period.
Yan Nian added: "They all know about my family's affairs."
She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood: "You must be very curious about why my mother is like this!"
Zhou Ran wanted to end the topic. Since she was willing to talk, he was willing to listen.
Yan Nian said slowly, "I have an older sister named Yan Meng, who died when I was four years old. That's why mom is like this."
Yan Meng was gone, and Xu Yiqing soon had her. She was like an accessory to express his grief. Although she was not like Yan Meng, Xu Yiqing often called her by the wrong name when she was young.
"Yan Meng, are you being naughty again?"
"Sisi, come to mommy."
The two chatted until the early morning. When Zhou Ran gently closed the living room door, Yan Nian had already fallen asleep in the quilt.
He smoked a cigarette beside the car and then returned to the driver's seat. He looked at the voice message sent by Mu Chen and clicked it to listen.
"More optimistic than I expected." Mu Chen knew Yan Nian's character and was better at disguising than anyone else.
Mu Chen first asked what kind of environment he was in when he asked Yan Nian. After getting Mu Chen's confirmation, Zhou Ran directly followed up on the voice message.
Mu Chen picked up the phone.
Zhou Ran said, "I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Mu Chen: "It's okay."
Zhou Ran asked: "Is this a stress disorder?"
He did his homework before asking.
Mu Chen was quite surprised and replied, "Yes."
Zhou Ran recounted the situation at that time. The three options Mu Chen gave were desensitization therapy, exposure therapy and drug treatment.
Zhou Ran directly rejected drug treatment and exposure therapy.
Exposure therapy involves placing people in a noisy environment with their cell phones on full blast.
Zhou Ran asked, "Is there a good way to treat Teacher Mu with desensitization?"
Mu Chen said, "Yan Nian's situation is actually the same as most children in other families. The ultimate cause is her mother. She's afraid of the phone because she's afraid of being oppressed again in the name of concern. All her actions are choices of escape. It will take time to get her to face her escape. Without her mother's cooperation, I think the results will be very slow."
"She often tries to overcome it, which is a good sign, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that she might feel frustrated and reject it."
Zhou Ran: "That's true."
"I heard that Teacher Xu is not in Lindu now. Now, you can take her out to relax more, meet with friends, and maintain a good lifestyle. She will naturally regain her confidence slowly."
Mu Chen's analysis was spot on. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ran looked at Huayue Mansion through the windshield for a long time and sent a WeChat message to Wang Hongyu.

When Yan Nian woke up, it was already bright outside. She could still clearly remember the conversation with Zhou Ran last night. She felt depressed and turned over in the quilt, staring at the mobile phone on the cabinet. She fell asleep first last night, so where was Zhou Ran?
She took her phone, opened WeChat and sent a smiley face to Zhou Ran. She saw that it was already past ten o'clock.
Zhou Ran replied immediately: [I'll be downstairs at your house right away.]
When Yan Nian saw the message, the depression in her heart disappeared instantly, and she got up quickly to wash, change clothes and put on makeup.
After packing up and going downstairs, Zhou Ran took her directly to the gate of No. 1 Middle School in the city.
Yan Nian got out of the car and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing that she was the same as usual, as if what happened last night had never happened, Zhou Ran felt relieved. "Who said they were coming to see Cheng Xiao last night?"
Yan Nian suddenly realized and quickly took out her phone: "I forgot to tell her."
Zhou Ran took her hand and placed it in his arm: "I've already said that."
No. 1 High School in the city was the high school that Zhou Ran and Wang Hongyu attended before. Because it was a holiday, the shops in front of the school gate seemed deserted, but the jacaranda tree above their heads was lush and leafy.
Yan Nian came here for the first time: "Is Cheng Xiao's store here?"
Zhou Ran pointed ahead and said, "Over there."
Yan Nian looked in the direction he pointed and saw the 'Xiaoying Handmade Dumplings Main Store'. The storefront didn't look big, but it gave people the feeling of a century-old store.
In just a short while, several people came in and out with takeout, so their business was pretty good.
Apart from the dumpling shops I often see in Lingyun, this is the first time I have seen one in Lindu.
Yan Nian heard the elders talking at a previous wedding. Cheng Xiao opened her own dumpling shops all over Lindu. The food was delicious, and she also opened her own management company.
