Yu Sheng pursed her lips, unsure of where to begin.
Seeing her reaction, Wu Xiaohong tentatively asked, "Could it be that Gu Ye has done something again?"
Seeing that Wu Xiaohong had misunderstood, Yu Sheng hurriedly said, "He didn't do anything..."
Wu Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought he had another personality disorder and had done something outrageous... Since it has nothing to do with him, what exactly happened?"
Yu Sheng let out a long sigh and looked out the window. Night had silently enveloped the earth. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something funny, she chuckled softly.
Wu Xiaohong asked curiously, "What did you think of?"
"Thinking about the reason why I agreed to Gu Ye's request to have you do psychological counseling."
After listening to what Yu Sheng said, Wu Xiaohong smiled warmly and said softly, "He thought you came to me for psychological counseling to overcome your psychological barriers when you were intimate with him, but actually your purpose was to confirm that he has a split personality and to find a solution from me."
"Um."
"But I don't understand what your point of laughter is?"
"I did come to you initially because of Gu Ye, but today I'm here for myself."
Wu Xiaohong immediately understood why Yu Sheng was laughing, but she still asked her, "Do you find it a little ridiculous that you didn't expect to come to me to solve your psychological problems?"
Yu Sheng had been feeling unwell for several days and didn't want to pretend anymore with Wu Xiaohong, so she openly admitted, "A little."
"Thank you for your honesty. Actually, there's nothing funny about it. Everyone has some psychological issues to some extent. If I told you that I also have a psychologist, would you believe me?"
Yu Sheng looked at Wu Xiaohong in surprise and asked incredulously, "Really?"
Wu Xiaohong nodded: "Really!"
It was probably Wu Xiaohong's openness that earned Yu Sheng's trust. She said, "Actually, I've always known that I have a problem."
Why do you think that?
After Wu Xiaohong finished asking the question, she saw Yu Sheng crying.
She pulled out two tissues, stuffed them into her hand, and asked, "What came to mind?"
Yu Sheng choked up: "I thought about how my mother and Qiao Weiyang argued when I was very young, how my mother forced me to practice the piano, how I took care of Xiao Cheng when he was just born, how Xiao Cheng drew a cartoon of our family of four, how I took Xiao Cheng to the ocean park, and so on..."
Yu Sheng couldn't continue speaking and covered her face, sobbing.
Wu Xiaohong pulled her into her arms and stroked her back to comfort her: "If you're feeling too bad, you don't have to say so much at once... Can you tell me who Qiao Weiyang is first?"
“My… Dad…”
It took Yu Sheng a lot of courage to say the last word.
Over the next hour, under Wu Xiaohong's guidance, she recounted her childhood environment, Xiao Cheng's car accident, and the predicament she was currently facing.
After listening, Wu Xiaohong finally understood why Yu Sheng had come to see her today—to ask for her advice!
Wu Xiaohong held her hand and said earnestly, "Yu Sheng, I really want to help you, but I can't. Not only me, but no one can help you. This decision can only be made by you, and I believe you will make the best choice."
When Yu Sheng heard Wu Xiaohong say that she couldn't be tied up, she panicked and said helplessly, "But I've been thinking about it for days, and I still can't make a choice."
Have you truly listened to your heart?
"I……"
"You're too hasty and too chaotic, so you can't hear your inner voice."
Yu Sheng looked at Wu Xiaohong, puzzled, and asked, "The voice in my heart? What voice?"
Wu Xiaohong smiled and said, "I suggest you stop thinking about anything from this moment on, go back and get a good night's sleep. Once you've woken up and calmed down, you might find the answer."
Yu Sheng said anxiously, "I can't sleep at all."
"If you're not trying to conceive, I can ask a psychiatrist friend to prescribe some sleeping pills for you, but since you're trying to conceive now, you can't take any medication without consulting a doctor, so you'll have to manage it yourself."
When I get back, I'll try to go for a run, work up a sweat, then take a shower and try to relax as much as possible.
Yu Sheng didn't think that if she slept well tonight, she would be able to make a choice when she opened her eyes tomorrow. She even felt that this trip had been in vain, but she still politely thanked Wu Xiaohong.
"Then I'll be going now."
As Yu Sheng got up and walked out of the room, Wu Xiaohong asked, "Did you convince Gu Ye to get psychological counseling?"
She had been so caught up in the painful decision-making process these past few days that she had completely forgotten about the matter. When Wu Xiaohong asked her, she quickly replied, "I've convinced her."
"How did you convince him?" Wu Xiaohong asked curiously. If Gu Ye really had a split personality, he certainly wouldn't have agreed to psychological counseling so easily.
Yu Sheng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I used a little trick, the excuse was that I suspected he had smiling depression."
Wu Xiaohong suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. Did he say when he would come for psychological counseling?"
"I haven't discussed a specific time with him yet. I'll discuss it with him after tomorrow." She has no idea how to spend tomorrow.
Wu Xiaohong noticed that Yu Sheng was uneasy, so she grabbed her shoulders and encouraged her, saying, "Yu Sheng, you have to believe in yourself. You can do it, understand?"
Yu Sheng looked at Wu Xiaohong and asked uncertainly, "Can...I really do it?"
Wu Xiaohong gave Yu Sheng an absolutely certain answer: "Really!!"
...
After saying goodbye to Wu Xiaohong, Yu Sheng went home.
It was a little after nine o'clock when she sat down on the sofa and started having random thoughts.
She felt she couldn't continue like this, or she would have insomnia again tonight.
