106. Psychological Counseling
The forty-minute roadshow ended quickly. Guan Miao said goodbye to a few familiar leading actors in the backstage and got on the return bus.
An Jing saw Guan Miao's expressionless face through the rearview mirror and said carefully, "Just now, Sister Chi Yi sent me a message saying that a friend went to visit her at home and asked us to bring some gifts back."
Hearing that a stranger was visiting, Guan Miao, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Okay, since he is Sister Chi Yi's friend, we should prepare some gifts. Let's go to the mall and buy some later."
An Jing carefully observed her expression, and after confirming that she didn't show any dissatisfaction or resistance, she looked away. "No problem."
The car was driving steadily on the road, but An Jing's heart was beating fast. Could it be that he was really overthinking it?
After walking around the mall, the two picked out a classic brown bag and a set of skincare products. "That should be about right, right?"
"That should be enough." Any more and it would be considered bribery.
An Jing thought silently in her heart while holding her cosmetics.
After the two returned home, they saw Chi Yi chatting with a strange woman. From the smiles on their faces, they knew that they were having a great time.
"Miaomiao, Anjing, you're back. This is Deng Qing, my good friend from college."
Deng Qing was wearing a light brown dress, and her slightly curly long hair fell softly beside her ears, making her look gentle and dignified, and she was very pleasing to the eye.
"Hello, Sister Deng Qing."
An Jing obediently called someone and sat down aside. Guan Miao, who originally wanted to just say hello and leave, had no choice but to sit down aside.
Deng Qing saw Guan Miao's surprised expression and turned to Chi Yi and said, "I didn't expect you to know Teacher Guan Miao. You're quite the hidden talent."
"Oh?" Chi Yi was also very cooperative, "I thought you knew it just now."
"I originally thought it was someone with the same name, but I didn't expect it to be Teacher Guan Miao himself. What a coincidence! I just took my daughter to see Teacher Guan's new movie yesterday. It was really good!"
"Really? Thank you Sister Deng Qing for the compliment." When talking about the movie, the smile on Guan Miao's face became more genuine.
Seeing that she was not opposed to it, Deng Qing continued, "Can I gossip a little bit about why Teacher Guan Miao decided to star in this movie?"
Guan Miao was stunned for a moment, feeling confused. Why would Deng Qing ask such a question?
"Teacher Guan Miao? Teacher Guan Miao?"
Perhaps because she didn't answer for a long time, Deng Qing called her name anxiously.
When she came to her senses, she realized that everyone sitting next to her was looking at her with concern, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay. As for why I wanted to act, there wasn't any particular reason. I just wanted to act, and then I approached the director for an audition opportunity. Everything just happened naturally."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
After Deng Qing finished speaking, she asked a few more questions related to the movie. Guan Miao originally wanted to deal with it with various official statements, but under her guidance, he finally told the truth.
Seeing that Guan Miao finally spoke out his true feelings, Chi Yi and An Jing looked at each other and silently picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea seriously.
It seems that Deng Qing is really capable and will give Chai Yue a red envelope in return.
Half an hour later, Deng Qing looked at the time on his phone and said apologetically, "It really is true. Such a long time has passed without me noticing."
Chi Yi said at the right time: "Huh, you are still talking, chatting with Miaomiao so well, if you don't know, you will think you haven't seen your good friends for seven or eight years."
"Sister Chi Yi is still jealous," An Jing chimed in. "It's almost time for dinner, why don't Sister Deng Qing stay and eat with us?"
"No, no, I have to go home to see my daughter, so don't bother me."
After Deng Qing said this, the few people naturally had no reason to keep her.
At the door, Deng Qing took Chi Yi's hand and said with a smile: "I just moved to City C not long ago, and I'm still seeing everything new. I'll ask you to go shopping in the future, and you can't refuse to come."
"Don't worry, I'll be there whenever you call me."
"That's fine, then I'm relieved."
After watching Deng Qing walk away, the three of them chatted as they headed home. Guan Miao, who was a step behind, closed the door and asked, "Deng Qing is a psychologist. Do you think I'm mentally ill?"
After just two sentences, Chi Yi and An Jing were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. Their backs were stiff and they dared not look back at her.
Miaomiao, when did she find out? Which step went wrong?
Just as they were reminiscing, Guan Miao's cool palms gently rested on their backs. His voice was low and mocking, "Have you forgotten what I do?"
After she reminded them, the two remembered that the person behind them was a serious actor, and none of them combined could compare to her in acting skills.
Chi Yi turned around and looked at her, "Miao Miao, when did you find out?"
“I noticed it as soon as we walked in. Although you all had smiles on your faces when we came in, your body language doesn’t lie.
When roommates who have been together for four years sit and chat, their bodies will lean slightly towards each other. Because they are familiar with each other, they will unconsciously get close to each other.
On the other hand, the way you two were sitting just now was not very proper, and Deng Qing's words were implicitly asking about things related to the movie, which is very suspicious."
Listening to her analysis, Chi Yi looked at An Jing in confusion, "Are we that obvious?"
"I think it's okay."
"Don't dwell on this. Tell me, what is the result Deng Qing gave?"
"Um, well," Guan Miao's frank attitude made Chi Yi feel a little embarrassed, "She thinks you might need a follow-up visit."
"It's time for a follow-up visit. It looks like the problem is very serious. Just tell me directly after you make an appointment. No need to go through all this trouble."
After Guan Miao walked away, Chi Yi was still a little shocked. "Miao Miao meant that she knew she was sick a long time ago, so why didn't she tell us directly? If we had taken her to see a doctor earlier, maybe she would be cured now."
An Jing came to her senses, "Maybe Miaomiao felt that she could recover at first, just like she would cry for no reason in the first two months, but now she doesn't cry anymore.
So she thought that she would be able to succeed with her own method, but she didn't expect that she would go to the other extreme.
Fortunately, Miaomiao is now willing to cooperate with the treatment. We should trust her and Deng Qing. There will be no problem."
[Meow? What are you two discussing? Is there something wrong with my biped?]
"San San?!" The two were shocked as they looked at the chubby San San who had already jumped onto the table. "When did you come down? Where's Yu Ning?"
[Oh, I used a little trick to make her fall asleep, so can we talk about Guan Miao now?]
San San's round cat face showed a kind smile, which made the two people feel nervous.
