Instead of him constantly giving so much to her, she didn't want him to love her so humbly... She felt like he was trying to please her all the time, like he was afraid of something, afraid that if he didn't treat her so well, she would leave him?
Yan Xiluo felt that he had been sick ever since he returned from the unfinished building project.
Lan Jingyan was at a loss. He didn't know what he had done wrong. Wasn't he just acting the same as usual, caring for her as always?
His departing figure was filled with sadness and dejection as he turned and walked away downstairs...
Yan Xiluo lost interest and went back to her bedroom.
for a long time……
"Hey Orange, are you free right now?"
Yan Xiluo silently dialed her friend's number; Chengzi was a well-known psychologist in China.
"Yes, Luo Luo, what brings you to me?"
Orange had just finished her work and returned home; she hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly.
"Would it be convenient for us to chat?"
Yan Xiluo only guessed that Lan Jingyan might have a mental illness, but she wasn't sure, since she wasn't in this industry.
"sure!"
Chengzi was eager to chat with Yan Xiluo. They hit it off immediately upon their first meeting, but both of them were quite busy and rarely saw each other.
"If someone suddenly becomes more clingy than before, and everything revolves around that person, and they're always taking care of that person, is that a sign of an illness?"
Yan Xiluo didn't know how to express what she wanted to say at this moment. She felt somewhat incoherent and her mind was in turmoil, probably because she was too worried about Lan Jingyan's condition.
Just a couple of days ago, Lan Jingyan was also clinging to her and hovering around him like this, as if he didn't need to work and was with her all day long.
"Huh? You mean your boyfriend?"
Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, they still chat occasionally. In addition, Yan Xiluo officially announced her relationship with Lan Jingyan on her WeChat Moments, so her friends all know that she is taken.
“Hmm, I think he’s changed… He seems to have become someone whose world revolves around me, who does everything around me, who is always serving me and trying to please me, and who seems to have no sense of security? This makes me feel that something is wrong with him.”
Yan Xiluo lay on the bed, muttering to herself, "I hardly recognize him anymore. He seems so unfamiliar. Has he suddenly changed his personality?" She was so worried about him.
"Has he suffered some kind of trauma? Are you having relationship problems?"
Orange frowned slightly. Shouldn't things have ended like this?
Unless Lan Jingyan's love for her has spiraled out of control...
"No, we've always had a great relationship. He used to take good care of me and show concern for me, but he would never neglect his work. Now it seems like he only serves me? Taking care of my daily needs... The main problem is that he lied... He said he was working when I was at work, but I asked his brother, and he hasn't been involved in the company's affairs for the past few days."
This was also the first time Lan Jingyan had lied to her. Right after Lan Jingyan left, before calling Chengzi, she sent a message to Lan Jingchen.
As she expected, Lan Jingchen's reply was exactly what she had anticipated... Lan Jingyan did indeed have a problem.
"When did we first notice he was like this? Or what happened in between?"
Orange also found it strange. Would the president of the prestigious Lan Group lie like this? Would he neglect company affairs?
Is this love that's gone to the point of obsession?
"I don't know how to explain it, but a few days ago my subordinate was kidnapped, and we went to rescue him. Then, my subordinate was strapped with a time bomb. Lan Jingyan and my cousin came with me. Lan Jingyan defused the bomb; both wires were red, and he couldn't decide which one to cut. I found the switch in the timer and turned it off. After that, I don't remember anything after I fainted. Ever since that incident, he's become incredibly clingy. Today, he even asked if I felt like he was a burden. I told him we should calm down and think things through, but sometimes he seems like I've abandoned him, and he's really depressed..."
Yan Xiluo's mind was in a mess. She didn't know where Lan Jingyan had gone downstairs. Her words seemed incomplete, and she couldn't sort out what she had said and what she hadn't said, or whether she had missed anything.
"His problem is quite serious... He's been traumatized... Why don't you go find him first? We can talk after he's asleep."
Chengzi felt that the most important thing was to ensure Lan Jingyan's safety. It was hard to say what was wrong with him. One possibility was that he wasn't sick and simply wanted to spend more time with Yan Xiluo. Another possibility was that he was terminally ill... suffering from a loss of self. Yan Xiluo was the only person he wanted to protect.
Orange thinks this is hard to judge...
However, Yan Xiluo's claim that Lan Jingyan lied made her think that Lan Jingyan was ill...
Moreover, Yan Xiluo's tone was flustered, and she didn't quite hear some of what she said, so she couldn't draw any conclusions.
"Okay, I'll go find him now. I'll contact you later. Thank you, Orange!"
Yan Xiluo hung up the phone, quickly put on her coat, and went out to find Lan Jingyan.
She rushed down to the living room, only to find it empty and dark, so she had no choice but to run out of the villa again.
This is the beach, which way will he go?
Yan Xiluo turned on her phone's flashlight and saw footprints on the right that matched Lan Jingyan's shoe size. She followed the footprints in that direction.
As they jogged along, Chengzi asked, "Could it be that Lan Jingyan might do something foolish?"
She was in such a hurry that she didn't even care that her shoelaces had come undone, and kept running forward, but she couldn't see Lan Jingyan anywhere.
This area of sea is too vast; it's hard to find.
Yan Xiluo called Lan Jingyan several more times, but no one answered...
Her heart suddenly felt empty...
I'm a little scared... tears are streaming down my face...
"Ayan!"
"Lan Jingyan!"
Where are you?
"Ayan!"
She kept running... kept searching...
"ah!"
Finally, she tripped over her shoelaces...
Lan Jingyan had just stubbed out his cigarette—his first time smoking, and because he was upset—when he saw a girl who had fallen in front of him who looked familiar.
"Luo Luo!"
Upon seeing Yan Xiluo's face, he was startled and ran over frantically.
"Where did you go? I've been looking for you for so long..."
Yan Xiluo complained, it was unclear whether she was crying from worry and anxiety or because she had scraped her knee...
"I...you said I needed some time alone, so I thought I'd come out first to give you some space. I was about to go back when I saw you..."
Lan Jingyan wiped away her tears, and when he saw her injured knee, he felt so sorry for her that he picked her up in his arms.
"Then why didn't you answer my calls? I've been looking for you everywhere!"
With tears streaming down her face, Yan Xiluo questioned him, "Do you know how worried I was about you? He's never failed to answer my calls before... I almost thought something had happened to him..."
"You said you needed some quiet time, and I was afraid of being disturbed, so I muted my phone..."
Lan Jingyan also felt wronged... He just wanted to reflect on his actions, and he did so...
