After about half a month, Shen Qingnian gradually realized that some strangers weren't so scary after all. He was still somewhat timid, but with someone he could rely on by his side taking him out, Shen Qingnian didn't feel so afraid.
Unlike before when I would cover myself up completely before going out, this time I did some sun protection and went out confidently.
Shen Qingnian saw a barbershop and, thinking about her hair, decided to get it cut short.
Wan Ge touched his smooth, long hair. His hair was really good. It seemed that good-looking people even had perfect hair. His hair was so long, yet there wasn't a single split end.
When Shen Qingnian was sitting in the barbershop, even the hairstylist asked him if he really wanted a haircut.
Shen Qingnian nodded without hesitation, and the hairstylist gave him a hairstyle that perfectly matched his temperament. He looked like a young and handsome boy, much more sunny, and overall quite good-looking.
But more importantly, Shen Qingnian is naturally very beautiful. For a hairstylist, any hairstyle would suit someone as beautiful as her, even if she were bald.
…
Wan Ge then took Shen Qingnian to other places, including a shopping mall and a restaurant.
Because almost all her interactions with others were handled by Wan Ge, Shen Qingnian didn't have to face them herself, so going out didn't seem so scary anymore.
Because he used to go out alone, and had to face and communicate with everything by himself, he found it terrifying, but now...
Shen Qingnian looked down at their tightly clasped hands. With Wan Ge by his side, he felt truly safe. When people asked him questions, Shen Qingnian remained composed.
However, what Shen Qingnian heard most along the way was that people said he was very good-looking, and Shen Qingnian's cheeks would unconsciously turn red when she heard such words.
What he experienced most as a child was that people told him he didn't have parents and didn't want to play with him. He felt inferior at that time. He didn't understand why his parents couldn't be like other people's parents, why they couldn't be with him.
Why are other people so scary? Why do they say he's an unwanted child when he clearly has parents too?
…
As Shen Qingnian rode the elevator home, he looked at his reflection in the elevator. He had never thought about whether he was good-looking or not, and he had never cared about his appearance.
But now everyone says he's very good-looking. After glancing at Wan Ge standing next to him, does Wan Ge also think he's good-looking?
"What are you thinking about?" Wange asked softly, looking at the boy who was deep in thought.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian immediately snapped out of her daze and subconsciously shook her head.
Wan Ge smiled and patted his head: "Are you tired?"
Shen Qingnian shook her head again, then grasped her hand and placed it next to her cheek: "With you here, I'm not tired."
He didn't intend to say anything sweet; it was just his most direct feeling. With Wan Ge around, he felt happy no matter what he did.
Wan Ge was even happier. She was already happy to see the boy's change and to feel that he was less resistant to going outside, so she knew that her treatment plan was effective. Now that he had said these words, she was even happier.
