Lin Wanxing blinked. A doctor who doesn't give injections, just chatting, shouldn't be too scary. He'd been afraid of doctors in white coats since he was little because they would prick his little bottom with long needles, which hurt terribly.
But then Lin Wanxing thought again, wasn't her second brother going back to the old house tomorrow?
He asked, "But aren't you going back to the Shen family's old house tomorrow to celebrate your birthday, Second Brother?"
Shen Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "How about we go see the doctor in the morning and celebrate the birthday in the afternoon?"
"Second brother is worried about Xingxing. Talking to her might make her feel better. Also, if there's anything on your mind that's making you unhappy or confused, the doctor will help you resolve it."
Shen Huai'an is very concerned about the children's mental health; what happened yesterday was truly terrifying.
Xingxing is a carefree, innocent, and adorable child; he shouldn't have to go through those terrible things.
Especially since all of this was orchestrated by his biological father, Chen Shuhua, Shen Huai'an was afraid that those things would hurt the child's young mind.
So he wanted to take Xingxing to her former psychologist for counseling.
"So, what do you think? Want to go?"
Lin Wanxing nodded and obediently agreed.
That day, Shen Huai'an made a point of sleeping with Xingxing. He was afraid that Xingxing would have nightmares, so he stayed by his side, telling him stories like he was coaxing a child, and patting him to sleep.
Everything was quiet; the stars were sleeping soundly.
The next day, Shen Huai'an took Xingxing to see a doctor.
Xu Xian is a well-known psychologist in Jiangcheng. He used to be a lecturer at a university and later became a well-known doctor in many influential circles.
Shen Huai'an had been his patient before, but although he was a skilled doctor, he could not cure Shen Huai'an.
However, during the years when Shen Huai'an was most lost and in the most pain, she did her best to help him get out of the shadows. As one of her many patients, Shen Huai'an was the most difficult to deal with, but Dr. Xu never gave up on him.
Therefore, Shen Huai'an always trusted her. Dr. Xu was indeed a very responsible doctor.
"Xingxing, don't be afraid later. Just do whatever the doctor tells you to do."
The sun was strong outside, so Shen Huai'an applied sunscreen to him before he went out and put a Mario-style hat on his head. Lin Wanxing skipped and hopped around Shen Huai'an, the red hat standing out even more in the sun.
Shen Huai'an, leaning on his cane, laughed as he watched his little red hoodie run around. Ever since the stars appeared, his world had slowly changed, transforming from a gray sky into a colorful one, with bright colors appearing all around him.
"After you see the doctor, your second brother will take you to eat snail rice noodles first, and then we'll go back to the Shen family. How about that?"
Recently, Xingxing has been a big fan of that food vlogger, watching him explore different restaurants every day. After watching the vlog yesterday, Xingxing has been craving snail rice noodles ever since. He mentioned it to Shen Huai'an, so Shen Huai'an arranged everything for them today.
"Okay, I want to eat snail rice noodles and duck feet too."
Lin Wanxing wants to eat whatever he sees eating in mukbang videos. He's actually very greedy and thinks about food every day. He's recently become obsessed with mukbang videos and has stopped watching cartoons. He watches those mukbang videos every day.
Lin Wanxing became a little nervous after arriving at the psychological counseling center.
Shen Huai'an had made an appointment with Dr. Xu yesterday. When they arrived, Dr. Xu's assistant greeted them.
The two of them sat in the rest area, drinking hot tea and waiting for Dr. Xu. Lin Wanxing leaned on Shen Huai'an's shoulder.
"Huai'an, you're here." Dr. Xu pushed open the glass door and came out to greet Shen Huai'an with a smile.
“Dr. Xu, this is my husband. I thought you could help him, so I brought him here.”
Dr. Xu was a young woman. She smiled and nodded to Lin Wanxing, "Come in!"
Just as Shen Huai'an was about to walk over, Dr. Xu smiled and said, "The family members can just wait outside."
Lin Wanxing glanced back at Shen Huai'an, and finally obediently followed the doctor into the consultation room.
"What would you like to drink? We have lemonade, coffee, and tea?"
Dr. Xu asked Lin Wanxing with a smile, "She doesn't look like a doctor at all; she looks more like a gentle and kind older sister."
"Lemon juice, please, thank you, sister!" Lin Wanxing sat up straight and answered seriously.
Dr. Xu's smile deepened when Lin Wanxing called him "sister." This boy was completely different from Shen Er outside. She really didn't know how this child could be with Shen Er.
Dr. Xu skillfully poured Lin Wanxing a glass of lemonade and brought it over. She sat down opposite Lin Wanxing.
A table away, Dr. Xu picked up a notebook from the table and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
Lin Wanxing answered truthfully, "I slept very well!"
Dr. Xu wrote in her notebook: "Has anything bothering you lately?"
Lin Wanxing thought about what happened yesterday. He thought about it carefully. Although some unpleasant things did happen yesterday, he later received a great piece of good news, so the two things canceled each other out and his unhappiness was successfully resolved.
"there is nothing!"
"What is your father like? How is the relationship between you and your father? Do you think he is a good father?"
Lin Wanxing hesitated because this question was troubling him. He frowned and thought about it seriously for a long time but still didn't know how to answer.
"Let's change the question. Do you think Shen Huai'an is suitable to be your husband?"
“It suits me, I like him!” Lin Wanxing answered without hesitation. His answer was very straightforward, which surprised Dr. Xu a little.
Dr. Xu then asked a few more questions, gently guiding Lin Wanxing to express her unhappiness before analyzing the situation.
Lin Wanxing seemed like a normal child. He appeared a little silly, but after nearly two hours of communication, Dr. Xu discovered that the child was not silly at all. He was worried that he might be a little slow, but in fact he was thinking seriously.
Moreover, this child seems somewhat ignorant about family affection, and he is even unfamiliar with the image of his father, which makes it impossible for him to answer any questions about his father. He lacks family affection, which makes him crave love and care, so he sometimes gets very nervous and has a sense of gain and loss.
He is very dependent on his lover, and only Shen Huai'an can give him a sense of security.
Dr. Xu told Shen Huai'an everything truthfully. Lin Wanxing had a slight anxious attachment style, but otherwise she was fine.
Dr. Xu looked at the record book in her hand and said seriously to Shen Huai'an, "Huai'an needs to pay attention to his emotions. He is very attached to you. You may be more than just a lover in his eyes. You have filled many missing roles in his life, such as a friend or a family member."
Shen Huai'an asked Lin Wanxing to sit outside and wait for him. He was having a serious conversation with Dr. Xu, and he was most afraid that the child would be unhappy because of what happened yesterday.
"It's a good thing that he's attached to me. Anyway, I'm his support. Xingxing is timid and always afraid of being abandoned, which is why he acts this way. Since there are no other problems, I think that's fine."
Dr. Xu didn't say much. Shen Huai'an is a very self-centered person, and no one can change him. Now, because of Lin Wanxing's appearance, he has changed a little, which is a good thing.
