Chapter 141 Doctor Xiaoyun treats F4. Want to hear the Chao family's story...
As the morning light approached, a calm and restrained scent of agarwood enveloped Yun Fuyu.
When Yun Fuyu met Zhaohui before, this man's appearance was always meticulous, even his hair was never out of place.
However, since entering the clubhouse, Zhaohui's behavior has become much more casual. His shirt buttons are undone, and his tie is a little loose, revealing a little of his collarbone.
It turns out that people like Zhaohui are not so tense in private?
Yun Fuyu thought silently.
Yun Fuyu looked at Zhaohui for a few times and always felt that there was something awkward about this posture.
But never mind, our bodies didn’t touch, we just needed to shake hands.
Yun Fuyu's fingertips rested on Chaohui's fingertips, maintaining the minimum necessary contact.
Then, close your eyes.
......
"Sense of distance" is just a disguise for Zhaohui.
If there was a third person present, they would not be able to see even a trace of Yun Fuyu, because the morning light had completely blocked Yun Fuyu.
Chaohui silently moved his hands, held Yun Fuyu's hand, and held the slender and slightly cool hand in his palm.
Judging from the appearance alone, Yun Fuyu's hands are slender and white, with delicate joints, making people suspect that the touch is similar to that of cold jade carvings.
But when you actually touch it, you will find it is incredibly soft.
Chaohui restrained himself and pinched it lightly, then stopped.
Um.
If you can keep pinching it, it will be a great way to relieve stress.
Especially when handling official business, if I could hold Yun Fu Yu in my arms, squeeze her hands at any time to relieve stress... then the annoying official schedule would simply become a vacation.
It's very heart-warming.
Yun Fuyu didn't care about Zhaohui's secret actions, and seriously gave Zhaohui superficial guidance.
The more he tried to persuade her, the more silent she became.
Given the level of chaos in Zhaohui's spiritual realm, if one wanted to clear it all out at once, it would probably exhaust the counselor from being in excellent condition and making him collapse.
...Why is it so messy?
The spiritual realm was like being swept by a hurricane, thoughts were heavy and complicated, and images were chaotic and broken.
The outer layer was already so messy, and the inner layer seemed to be wrapped in something black.
It seems that it is many times more chaotic than the mental realm of a psychopath like Adrian.
Yun Fuyu was even a little curious about how Zhaohui managed to appear normal.
Fortunately, although the spiritual realm is chaotic, it is not very aggressive.
The two of them have a high degree of compatibility, so Yun Fuyu's mental power is also very smooth... Although this analogy may not be appropriate, Yun Fuyu is just like returning to his own home. He can tidy up whatever he wants without feeling too many obstacles.
Gradually, Yun Fuyu became more and more adapted and began to relax.
Chaohui's body temperature was continuously transmitted along the palm of Yun Fuyu's hand.
But at this moment, Zhaohui's mental power seemed to touch him in return.
Yun Fuyu did not open his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed.
What's going on?
After a while, Chaohui used his mental power to touch Yun Fuyu's mental power again.
Yun Fuyu was originally concentrating on guiding Zhaohui, but after being poked, his mental tentacles seemed to be slightly flattened.
“…”
Yun Fuyu opened his eyes.
"Be serious."
Zhaohui also opened his eyes, clenched his other hand into a fist and pressed it against the corner of his lips. There was an obvious smile in his amber-colored eyes.
"Excuse me."
Afterwards, Zhaohui's mental strength became much calmer.
......
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Fuyu finally managed to guide a small part of Zhaohui's spiritual realm back to a state close to that of a normal person.
This is a big project.
Yun Fuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The expression on Zhaohui's face revealed a hint of joy.
Yun Fuyu: “?”
Zhaohui: "Your psychic power... is adorable."
Yun Fuyu: “???”
What a fresh description.
Zhaohui described it as "like a small round ball of light, running from here to there, always working hard to organize things. So I couldn't help but poke it a few times."
Yun Fuyu solemnly declared, "Your mental domain is very chaotic. You must concentrate when you are conducting mental counseling."
Zhaohui looks quite steady, why is he poking others randomly?
Zhaohui nodded, his smile deepening.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Xiaoyun."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Originally, Yun Fuyu was the "patient" who was eager to resolve the agitated period.
As a result, in Chaohui's words, Yun Fuyu was the doctor and Chaohui was the patient.
The invisible swap of identities seemed to intentionally hand the initiative to Yun Fuyu, making him feel more secure.
Doctor Xiaoyun temporarily accepted this title and commented conscientiously:
"Your mental state is very dangerous. Even if you don't trust others, you can't delay treatment like this. Otherwise, you'll be in the hospital before your political opponents can do anything."
The Chao family's way of training their heirs is really hard to agree with - one of them resisted so hard that he had mental problems, and the other was trained to become a psychopath who walked on the edge of the law.
By the time Chaohui reached this stage, the drainage medicine was almost ineffective.
It is estimated that not only does he not accept spiritual counseling, but he also rarely vents his mental energy through fighting and other means.
Chaohui maintained this extremely close distance and just looked at Yun Fuyu and smiled.
"I can't help it. Others aren't in such a bad situation. For example, Adrian, he's the only heir to the Fenrir family and doesn't need to worry like I do."
Yun Fuyu ignored the complaints or grievances in the words and confirmed the exemption again:
"You should know that I can't just provide you with mental counseling. If you're worried about your memories being exposed, it's best to stop here."
Zhaohui rested his hands on his knees and looked at the shadows of the trees outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"No…I just don't trust the others."
He seemed to be in a trance, tapping his knees with his fingers from time to time.
Yun Fuyu also looked out the window.
The island is always like this during the day, with the scorching sun lasting for a long time and the overly dazzling light filling every corner.
But this is a comfortable sanctuary.
The shadows of the trees filtered the hot light, leaving only a soft layer, which swayed with the sea breeze and shone on the wooden floor.
Chaohui shifted his gaze back to Yun Fuyu's face. The smile on his lips was faint, but real.
"But I trust you."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
He was quite wary of Zhaohui.
Yun Fuyu had been deceived by Chao Zhao's acting skills before, and no matter what, she would never believe Chao Hui's words again.
Even if Zhaohui looks like a good person, it won't work.
After a long time, Zhaohui suddenly asked:
"Want to hear a story?"
Yun Fuyu: "What story?"
"The story of the Chao family."
The color of amber gold is light and bright, but its emotions are unfathomable, like amber that has gone through tens of millions of years, with all true purposes sealed within it.
Zhaohui curved his eyes, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
"I've never told anyone this in all these years. Would Dr. Xiaoyun be willing to listen?"
Yun Fuyu: "Is this an exchange?"
Zhaohui: "No, it's about sharing. I trust you, so I'm willing to tell you."
Without waiting for Yun Fuyu to reply, Zhaohui looked at Yun Fuyu with a smile and added.
"The story is a bit long, and I need to sort out my thoughts. So - tonight, I can come and tell you a bedtime story."
Yun Fuyu nodded calmly.
Zhaohui’s “bedtime stories” can basically be equated with family secrets.
But he had to wait until before going to bed to tell her... Yun Fuyu really didn't understand this.
*
Familiar scene.
Yun Fuyu was lying on the bed, wrapped in a quilt.
Chaohui sat on the edge of the bed, his back against the headboard. His figure blocked the warm light of the bedside lamp so that Yun Fuyu would not be dazzled.
Yun Fuyu quietly moved to the other side of the bed to keep some distance.
Zhaohui didn't speak for a long time.
It was not until Yun Fuyu felt a little sleepy and her eyelids felt heavy that Zhaohui seemed to be brewing a good mood.
"Zhao Zhao and I are twins."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
Yun Fuyu: "Tell me something I don't know."
Zhaohui smiled lightly.
“Our mother is a member of the Chao family aristocracy, and she is an offensive psychic.
After she came of age, she refused to allow her family to interfere in her marriage and left the Chao family, defying the wishes of the upper echelons.
The sleepiness disappeared.
Yun Fuyu listened to Zhaohui's story carefully.
"After leaving the family, she met my father. My father is a commoner and an offensive psychic.
It may sound like a story of a noble lady eloping with an ordinary person, but it is not actually the case.”
“They both have similar interests.
My mother was dissatisfied with many things in the nobility and wanted to make changes.
My father happened to be a leader among the common people and a member of the Seven Towers Council, and he had always worked hard to promote the rights of common people.
My mother must have been attracted by this aspect of him. So, they got married.”
The voice was soft and hoarse, with occasional pauses, and he spoke of the distant past in a somewhat unfamiliar manner.
These stories all happened before Zhaohui was born.
For Zhaohui, it only exists in a few words of records.
"After marriage, my father's political image was that of a rising star among the common people. My mother, a close-knit aristocrat, repeatedly provided aid to civilians affected by pollution and publicized the deeds of civilians assisting the military in combating pollution."
"Their purpose is simple - under the current circumstances, the status of psychics and non-psychics, nobles and commoners, is inherently unequal.
But even so, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the system.
Therefore, they want to resolve the conflict as much as possible and give the weaker party fairer treatment."
“Of course, it’s difficult to find the right balance.
The number of psychics among the nobles far exceeds that of the common people. Even if one wants to fight for the rights of the common people, one must never set the nobles and the common people against each other.
Otherwise, if the nobles become dissatisfied, then the common people who need to live under the protection of the Seven Towers Army will not benefit at all."
Although their careers are very difficult, the two have a good relationship, support each other, and live a happy life.
The two looked forward to the birth of a new life.
But after the twins were born, the situation took a turn for the worse.
“The problem is, Chao Zhao and I were born.
The spiritual bodies of both of us are somewhat special, and they just happen to correspond to some prophecies in the secret books of the Chao family.
The prophecy said, "Twins with the spirit of the Golden Crow foreshadow the arrival of the true master of the Chao family."
But the prophecy also said, 'There is only one true master of the Chao family.'
If the Chao family's upper echelons discovered the existence of Chao Zhao and me, they would definitely take us away to train us and select the most suitable person."
Yun Fuyu raised his head slightly and looked towards the morning sun.
Chaohui paused, lowered his head and looked at Yun Fuyu, with a gentle smile on his face.
"What's wrong?
Yun Fuyu: "Golden Crow?"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of flapping wings came from behind Yun Fuyu's head.
He turned his head and looked.
The big golden bird stood quietly on the side of the pillow, slowly leaned over, and rubbed Yun Fuyu's face with the soft feathers on its neck.
Yun Fuyu wanted to say that I’m not calling you... I’m asking about your species.
But the golden crows are already here, so it's a good time to observe them more.
Zhaohui: "It can also be called the Phoenix or the Sunbird. Different legends have different names for it, but they are essentially the same species."
Jinwu's body temperature was warm, and he shrank to a size that could be placed in the depression of Yun Fuyu's shoulders and neck, pressing gently against Yun Fuyu's cheeks, looking very clingy.
Yun Fuyu wanted to ask what the Chao family's classics were, but that would be too off topic.
I'd better ask later.
So Zhaohui continued to tell the story.
"Although my mother wants to leave the family, as long as she wants to promote institutional reform, she is destined to be inseparable from the Seven Towers. How can she truly leave?"
"My mother understands the complex web of power within the Chao family and hopes that Chao Zhao and I will have the opportunity to grow up normally and not be drawn into disputes too early.
So, when we were young, we lived in a very ordinary house near a polluted area for a long time, and our parents did everything they could to hide our spiritual power."
"Those were particularly difficult years. But they were both very capable, and together they accomplished a lot."
Zhaohui changed the subject.
"But reforms inevitably go against the interests of the nobility in some aspects."
"When Chao Zhao and I were six years old, my father was attacked by political enemies. It wasn't even the upper class nobles who did it directly, but rather he was assassinated by local civilians while on an inspection tour of a certain area."
Yun Fuyu: “…”
He was originally stroking the fur on the Golden Crow's head, but stopped when he heard this.
"......civilian?"
Zhaohui's gaze wandered to a certain place in the room, as if he was thinking of the first few years of his life when he was homeless.
But his tone was very calm.
"Yes. Some civilian psychics don't want to work for the Seven Towers and might engage in some underground black industries, such as thugs, assassins, space pirates, etc.
The person who actually took action at that time was a civilian psychic.
The people who paid him to assassinate my father were a force in league with the local nobles."
“The area my father patrolled was quite chaotic and had many bad incidents.
After he took over, the local illegal industry was almost eradicated.
Logically speaking, the lives of civilians will be much more stable."
“But it’s quite the opposite.
After the incident, political opponents deliberately manipulated the matter on Star Network, making it appear that the local people's industries were destroyed.
Public anger was easily ignited.
They believe my father's move will further reduce already limited job opportunities and make life even more difficult for those at the bottom of society... They never mention how the black market oppresses other people at the bottom of society, nor do they mention the hard-won living allowance policies.
“My mother was… emotionally devastated.
In addition, the Chao family discovered the existence of Chao Zhao and me, which made the situation even worse.
The Chao family asked to take us and our mother back to their home.
Only in this way can we live with our mother."
“My mother had no doubts about the path she had chosen, but she always regretted not going on patrol with my father.
She felt that if the two of them had gone together, my father would not have been assassinated.
