Chapter 108 Happy New Year

After Su Momo recovered, she came to the police station to record her statement. She pointed out that the sisters Qi Fang and Qi Fen had kidnapped her, and her statement matched that of the Qi sisters. The case was closed.

The New Year came soon.

This was Mu Mian's first New Year's Day in Jiangzhou. Chen Xue and the others insisted on taking Mu Mian to the square to celebrate the New Year. Even Xiao Zhang, who had a leg injury, came on crutches.

The square was very lively at night, with all kinds of colorful lights flashing, and beautiful and grand fireworks in the sky.

There were too many people in the square, and all kinds of sounds came from all directions in the west. Mu Mian was nervous and hurriedly avoided those who wanted to approach her.

Fang Rui hugged Mu Mian and helped her block the rush of people.

"Mu Mian, let's leave here."

"But I promised Chen Xue and the others that we would count down together."

"Then hide in my arms."

"Okay."

Mu Mian reached out and hugged Fang Rui's waist, burying her head in his arms.

Fang Rui was stunned.

"Fang Rui, help me cover my ears."

"Okay."

Xiao Zhang on the side winked at Chen Xue and whispered, "See, my method works, isn't it? Isn't this just hugging her?"

Xiao Zhang was so proud that he didn't hold his crutches steadily and almost fell down. Fortunately, Chen Xue hugged him.

"Chen Xue, I'm standing firm. You don't have to hold me so tight."

"I know."

Xiao Wang also hugged his girlfriend, "Xiao Shu, I have social phobia. There are so many people here. I'm scared."

"..."

After the New Year's Eve event, Fang Rui drove Mu Mian home.

Through the car window, Mu Mian saw Shen Xinyin and Lin Sen walking hand in hand on the side of the road. From time to time, colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the entire night sky and her sister's bright smile.

Mu Mian hasn't seen her sister smile so happily for a long time. Obviously, her sister used to love to laugh. When Mu Mian didn't like to talk to people, her sister smiled brightly at her every day.

"Fang Rui." Mu Mian's voice was a little low.

"What's wrong?"

"The time for me to grow old alone may be advanced." Mu Mian sighed.

Her sister's friends have reminded her that her sister will start a family with someone else in the future, and there will be no place for her in that family. So she must learn to be independent and learn to take care of herself.

Oh, she may be alone in the future. But Mu Mian doesn't like being alone, and she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life. If she really can't do it, she will discuss with her sister and consultant Lin that she can sleep on the floor in their new home, she will only take up a small space, and promise not to disturb them.

Fang Rui also saw the two people outside the window. Not long ago, he was still laughing at Lin Sen for being heartbroken, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, Lin Sen would win Shen Xinyin back.

"Mu Mian, you won't be alone for the rest of your life. Didn't you say that you would stay with me?"

"Yes, but what if you have a girlfriend? You normal people will get married."

"I can marry you in the future."

Another huge firework exploded in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.

"No, we autistic people can't get married. My former therapist said so. She said so to the parents of another autistic person," Mu Mian said, imitating Ms. Michelle's tone, "Even you as parents can't love her unconditionally, do you expect another man to love her, take care of her, and not abandon her? You are not fulfilling her love, you are getting rid of the burden."

"She is not right."

"Fang Rui, you have to believe what the therapist says. Ms. Michelle is the most authoritative autism therapist."

Mu Mian returned home and found that Shen Xinyin had not come back yet. Mu Mian sat on the sofa, she was a little angry, why didn't her sister tell her that she had a boyfriend?

She was so strict and she wouldn't tell anyone. Is her sister planning to elope with Consultant Lin and no longer want her?

Mu Mian saw that everyone in the WeChat group was sending New Year's greetings. She also sent a carefully edited blessing, and then decided to share this gossip she discovered with everyone.

Mu Mian: Shockedjpg. Let me tell you a little secret, Consultant Lin seems to have a girlfriend. He doesn't have to grow old alone. Guess who his girlfriend is?

Chen Xue: Remove the word "seems". Mian Mian, you actually think this is a secret and cover your facejpg.

Xiao Zhang corrected her: Mu Mian, why call him Consultant Lin, you should call him brother-in-law.

Mu Mian: ...Why do you all know this?

Chen Xue: Comrade Mu Mian, you should reflect on why you didn't know?

Mu Mian: No one told me...

Mu Mian: @Fang Rui, did you know about it too?

Fang Rui: Yes.

Xiao Zhang: Do I need someone to tell me this? Can't I see it with my eyes? Haven't you noticed that Consultant Lin has been smiling very frivolously every day for more than a month, which is seriously inconsistent with his aloof personality?

Lin Sen: @Mu Mian, yes, I have to call him brother-in-law from now on. @Xiao Zhang, please don't project yourself too much. If you don't know the meaning of this word, please open a browser and search.

Mu Mian: Self-projection refers to the externalization of the inner psychology, that is, judging others by oneself, projecting one's own emotions, will, and characteristics onto others, imposing them on others, and thinking that others are the same. It turns out that Officer Xiao Zhang's strange smile over the past month can be described as frivolous.

Xiao Wang: I think it is more appropriate to describe it as frivolous. Hehe.

Chen Xue: ...

Xiao Zhang: ...

Lin Sen sent several large red envelopes in the group, and then the two words "congratulations" were all over the screen.

When Shen Xinyin came back, she was holding a huge gift box. The box was grass green, with beautiful ribbons and bows tied on it. When

Mu Mian saw the gift, her eyes lit up, "Sister, is this a New Year's gift for me? I saw the card on the box, and it has my name on it."

"Yes. Happy New Year, Xiao Mian!"

"Happy New Year."

Mu Mian excitedly opened the box. Inside the box was a set of SpongeBob-themed Lego, with SpongeBob and his pineapple house.

"Sister, how do you know I want this gift?" Mu Mian likes SpongeBob because it always smiles sincerely at others, no matter whether that person is normal or abnormal.

Shen Xinyin glanced at the SpongeBob Band-Aid on Mu Mian's forehead. She just smiled and didn't answer.

After receiving the gift she liked, Mu Mian felt less angry.

Shen Xinyin sat down on the sofa and said, "Xiao Mian, sister has a boyfriend. You know that person, it's Consultant Lin."

"I knew it a long time ago." Mu Mian couldn't wait to start assembling her own building blocks. She asked curiously, "Sister, didn't you say you wouldn't marry Consultant Lin? Why are you with him now? Are you going to get married?"

Sister's friends often told her that she should get married. Mu Mian felt that marriage should be a very important thing for normal people.

If her sister is getting married, she will happily bless her sister, even if she may be alone in the future.

"Xiaomi, I used to think that the future is very important. If something has a bad ending, we should stop the loss in time and let it end. But when you were kidnapped that time, I suddenly realized that the future is unpredictable and uncontrollable. We never know what will happen tomorrow. All we can have is the present. My sister has always wanted to have him, so I reconciled with him."

"Will you marry him?"

"I don't know. The future is uncertain, and anything can happen. But one thing is certain, my sister will not abandon you. No matter what happens, my sister will be with you until you don't need her." Shen Xinyin's voice was firm.

"Then you can't lie to me. It's immoral to deceive autistic people."

Mu Mian breathed a sigh of relief. She was very worried that her sister would marry Consultant Lin and leave her behind. Just like her hacker friend, his mother got married and left him behind. He was very lonely for a while and almost imagined another self to talk to him. Fortunately, he later had her as a friend.

Mu Mian asked curiously: "Sister, so you and Consultant Lin are in love?"

Shen Xinyin smiled, "Yes."

Mu Mian said excitedly: "Then can you and Consultant Lin accompany me to the psychological laboratory of Jiangzhou University?"

Shen Xinyin frowned and asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to go there?"

"Sister, I also want to study love. I want to know how the brain in love is different from the brain of a normal person. Then I can know whether I have love. Can you and Consultant Lin be my subjects?"

Mu Mian thinks Zhou Junwei's idea of ​​studying love is very good, but his methods are too extreme. So Mu Mian designed an experiment to study love by herself.

"Love is a very complex emotion. It cannot be accurately defined by science, nor can it be quantified and studied. It is the superposition of many emotional states. Xiao Mian, you can't study love, you can only feel it."

Mu Mian quickly assembled SpongeBob, and she started to assemble Pineapple House. "But other emotions can be studied. Fear, happiness, sadness... these can all be used for research. Love can definitely be studied! I think Zhou Junwei is right. All human emotions come from the brain. As long as we observe the changes in the brain, we should be able to see love."

"Xiao Mian, why are you suddenly so interested in love?"

"You and Chen Xue are both in love. The forensic manual that Forensic Doctor Cheng gave me has a large section describing love. It seems to be a very important thing. I think I should have it too. Zhou Junwei said that autistic patients can have love." Mu Mian said, "But I have to know first what the definition of love is and what standards need to be met."

"Xiaomi, the order is wrong. You have to have love first before you know what it is like." Shen Xinyin reminded, "No one can accurately say what love is before you meet love."

"Okay!" Mu Mian assembled the Lego set and took a photo. She gave up the idea of ​​studying love.

Mu Mian sent a message to Fang Rui: Photo jpg. This is the New Year's gift my sister gave me. Isn't it beautiful?

Fang Rui: It's beautiful, but don't you think it's missing something?

Mu Mian: What's missing?

Fang Rui: Mu Mian, Happy New Year.

Huge fireworks were being set off outside the window again, and the sky was filled with dazzling fireworks.
