With the intervention of Gu Chen's psychotherapy, Chen Jie's condition is gradually improving.
Moreover, because he spends a lot of time with Gu Chen, Gu Chen is now the person he trusts most, besides Xiao Ruanruan, Chen Danqing, and Grandpa Chen.
Once his psychological problems disappeared, the recovery treatment for his nerve damage was naturally put on the agenda.
Although he agreed to let Gu Chen treat him, he still made a request that Xiao Ruanruan accompany him.
So, Xiao Ruanruan had no choice but to accompany him as well. Although she was supposed to be Gu Chen's assistant, her main task was to hold Chen Jie's hand so that he wouldn't be too nervous and affect his treatment.
By the time Chen Jie's treatment was completely finished, it was already the Lantern Festival.
Although Chen Jie's physical and psychological problems have been resolved, because he missed five years of growth, his understanding of things is still at the level of an eight-year-old.
Moreover, even after his recovery, the memory of that terrible fire remained, so he was no longer as silly and lively as before. Instead, he became taciturn and somewhat gloomy.
However, after the treatment ended, Xiao Ruanruan didn't have much time to spend with Chen Jie, because Chen Jie had agreed to the skin grafting and cosmetic surgery arranged by Grandpa Chen, and was sent to a closed, top-tier cosmetic surgery hospital's treatment ward to restore his appearance.
"Why are you still researching time machines?" After seeing Chen Jie off, Xiao Ruanruan frowned and looked at Chen Danqing with some annoyance.
She went to great lengths to cure Chen Jie so that Chen Danqing would give up her research on the time machine. But now that Chen Jie has recovered, Chen Danqing says she still wants to continue researching the time machine.
Little Ruanruan felt a surge of anger rising within her. She clenched her tiny fists, feeling an urge to hit someone and wake up Chen Danqing, this stubborn fool!
Chen Danqing looked at Xiao Ruanruan with her clear black and white eyes. "Xiao Ruanruan, you won't understand until you've done something wrong. You always have to make amends for what you've done wrong, otherwise you'll be uneasy for the rest of your life."
Xiao Ruanruan looked into Chen Danqing's eyes and suddenly couldn't speak. Actually, if you put yourself in her shoes, when she learned that her parents and brothers had died so tragically, even though their deaths had nothing to do with her, she would still have done anything regardless.
Moreover, the fire that destroyed the Chen family home was caused by Chen Danqing.
Little Ruan Ruan later learned from Grandpa Chen what exactly happened during that fire.
As a child, Chen Danqing had a boyish personality, being lively and active. In addition, she showed a strong interest in various electrical appliances at a young age.
So that weekend, while her parents and Chen Jie were still asleep, she secretly got up and played with the hair dryer. She even took it apart and took out the heating element to play with it separately.
She set the bedsheets in the room on fire. She was young at the time, and she had been scolded quite a bit for playing these kinds of games. Afraid of being scolded by her parents, she closed the door and ran out by herself.
The servants were all on the first floor, so they all ran out when the fire started.
Only Chen Jie, who was taking a nap on the second floor, and his parents were among those who survived. Chen Jie's survival was due to his father shielding him and his mother with his own body as they rushed out of the flames. After his father collapsed, his mother used her body to protect him. In the final stretch, his mother's back was already ablaze as she threw him out of the inferno...
Although I didn't experience it firsthand, just listening to Mr. Chen's calm narration, I could imagine how tragic the situation must have been.
No wonder Chen Jie was so frightened.
In fact, if she were Chen Danqing, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself either.
After learning of Chen Danqing's decision, Grandpa Chen came over to Xiao Ruanruan and said, "Xiao Ruanruan, thank you, but if Danqing wants to continue her research, let her go!"
Perhaps after she fails a few times, she'll figure it out herself.
Although that's what she said, Xiao Ruanruan knew very well that Chen Danqing wouldn't figure it out on her own, because Chen Danqing's current state was too similar to her state before she transmigrated. That was no longer an obsession, but madness!
Her soft, cherry blossom-jelly-like lips moved slightly. She still had questions to ask, but after thinking about it, she realized that asking so many questions seemed inappropriate.
Although she didn't ask, Grandpa Chen noticed her confusion and said, "Right after the fire, I found a psychologist to provide counseling for Danqing, and even tried to hypnotize her to make her forget about it."
My original plan was to hide the existence of her brother from her once the hypnosis was successful.
However, her willpower was too strong, and even though she was only three years old at the time, hypnosis had no effect on her.
Moreover, after that incident, I found that Danqing's memory had become even better than before.
Later, I took her for a professional examination and learned that she had developed hyperthymesia after that traumatic experience.
Xiao Ruanruan was startled when she heard this term.
People with hyperthymesia have an extraordinary memory. Anything they experience is permanently stored in their memory, like it's on a hard drive, and they can't forget it.
However, this extraordinary memory does not actually help their studies at all; all they have are painful memories from life that they cannot forget.
Therefore, for people with hyperthymesia, they live in the past every single day.
Moreover, Chen Danqing went through such an ordeal; her past is far more painful than that of other hyperthymesia patients.
