fear of intimacy

When Chen Shu left from the School of Psychology that day, he seemed perfectly normal. He didn't mention Zhou Xu's refusal to teach after pushing him into the swimming pool, but Zhou Xu hesitated to speak many times. Explain and apologize and don't know where to start.

One more time and the class will be over, and it will be too late if I don’t say anything else.

Chen Shu was sitting in the rest chair on the set, holding a warm handbag and looking through the history of chatting with Zhou Xu, there were very few.Aren't I very good at finding something to say when I have nothing to say, Chen Shu despises himself, and notices Zhou Xu's nickname - "z6349426432622bslmx".It looks like a gibberish, but Chen Shu is not a stupid single-celled creature like Peng Bushuai, and Zhou Xu can be classified as a serious group who use his real name as a nickname. Anyway, he is not an avant-garde person who can roll his face on the keyboard.

Single Cell·Peng You worry about the boss, and enjoy the boss's joy: "Jiao Yuting has a few more NGs, we can have a holiday this afternoon!"

The idiot thought that his boss was in a good mood today because he didn't have to catch a show.

Jiao Yuting and Xin Hong's rivalry scene has been grinding for almost two hours. This person had secretly teased Chen Shu for being in a bad state.In the winter, Xin Hong wore a shirt and single clothes to accompany him, his face was paralyzed from the cold, and he might have expressed his dissatisfaction expressionlessly.

Chen Shu didn't bother to pay attention to these things, his attention was all on his mobile phone - Zhou Xu suddenly sent a message.

【z6349426432622bslmx】: Is the person who saw my mother fall into the mud with her own eyes right beside her?

Um?What is he thinking about?Chen Shu sent a question mark over.

【z6349426432622bslmx】: Isn't that what you said?

[Tell a story]: When did I say this?

During Zhou Xu's silence, Chen Shu thought carefully about the few exchanges he had with Zhou Xu about his mother, and was convinced that he had never said such a thing.He remembered that Zhou Xu himself made it very clear that his mother committed suicide because of depression when his son was in the fifth grade of primary school.

【z6349426432622bslmx】: You mentioned it in variety shows.

Variety show?What variety show?Oh, Chen Shu remembered that it was a reasoning variety show more than three months ago, but what exactly did he say in the show?As he recalled carefully, his head suddenly stabbed without warning.

The mobile phone fell to the ground, and the crisp sound of the tempered film hitting the ground startled Xiao Peng. "Oh brother, hold on tight."

Chen Shu picked up the phone and asked Xiao Peng to bring over the cold medicine.

[Tell a story]: Is there such a thing?

【z6349426432622bslmx】: What did my teacher teach in class?

Xiao Peng ran over holding the tinfoil tablet. Brother Chen's face turned pale, and he bent down with his knuckles touching his temples.

"What's the matter, brother! Do you have a headache?" There were many staff around, and Xiao Peng asked as quietly as possible.

Chen Shu closed his eyes slowly, waved his hands, and said in a weak voice, "...it's okay."

He hung his fingertips above the phone screen, and didn't type for a long time——

[Tell a story]: I don't remember...

After a while, Zhou Xu asked him to come to his house sometime, so that he could do a memory review.

Chen Shu leaned against the back of the chair, feeling a dull pain in his head.

Zhou Xu asked him to take time to go there.But the crew couldn’t help themselves. Chen Shu spent the last week with Xu Nanzhu. He wanted to live Xu Nanzhu’s life when he opened his eyes, and Xu Nanzhu’s dream when he closed his eyes. When he washed his face in the mirror in the morning, he felt that Xu Nanzhu was too soft and weak. Xiao Peng had to call him Brother Xu to get a timely response.

Xin Hong was in almost the same state as him, more and more in line with the noble and glamorous Zhang Bosi himself, and he looked down on everyone with an air of condescension.His speech became more concise, even with a vaguely commanding tone. "Change the lines here?"

Director Huang: "..."

Xin Hong lowered his head and wiped his face: "Sorry."

Director Huang expressed his understanding: "Tomorrow, you will have a day off, so you can catch up on sleep."

Chen Shu finished the camera and passed by, and Director Huang was stopped: "When will your class with Teacher Xiao Zhou end?"

"One more time."

"Then take advantage of tomorrow's break and end the class, so as not to delay too long." Director Huang suggested.

Chen Shu agreed, but his mind was not clear enough, and he always felt as if he had missed something.It wasn't until I went back to the hotel after the show that I saw Zhou Xu covering his face with a scarf leaning against the door of the room waiting for him.

Chen Shu: "!!!"

Without raising his eyebrows, Zhou Xu said very naturally: "The address given by your assistant."

There were three of them, and Xiao Peng was suddenly given back to Chen Shu by the cue, which meant that he was such a competent assistant, who took care of the boss's life comprehensively and thoughtfully, and I will answer all the news for you before you have time to read it haha !

Xin Hong also went back to the hotel together. He was still regretting with Chen Shu that he had a holiday tomorrow but couldn't make an appointment to have a meal.After walking two steps, he turned his head and saw Chen Shu brushing open the door to let Zhou Xu in, with one hand on his shoulder.Chen Shu was a bit shorter, and the back of his jet-black head reached to the tip of Zhou Xu's nose. The visual effect looked like he was leaning into Zhou Xu's arms.Xin Hong narrowed his eyes.

Turning around again, I found a narrow gap opened in the door of a room in front of me, and a pair of eyes were rolling around in the gap.

It was Jiao Yuting's room.

Those eyes also saw him, seemed to back away, and quickly closed the door.

Xin Hong frowned.

After dinner it was time to take medicine, Xiao Peng poured a cup of warm water and stuffed it into Chen Shu's hands.

Only then did Zhou Xu notice: "Are you sick?"

Chen Shu took the medicine and didn't speak.

"The hot spring I went to last time didn't have a hair dryer, so I caught a cold when I came back with wet hair," Xiao Peng said.

Even Zhou Xu didn't speak anymore.

After taking the medicine in silence, Chen Shu pretended to cough twice, telling Xiao Peng to go back to rest first.Xiao Peng figured it out, every time the two got together, they didn't know what confidential content to learn, anyway, idlers couldn't be present.

The heating was actually turned on in the living room, but Zhou Xu still covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, stared at Chen Shu's water glass on the table and said, "I asked you to come over last week..."

"I was busy and forgot." Chen Shu was very calm.Of course Chen Shu has no burden, he thought to himself, now you are holding the handle in my hands.

Zhou Xu seemed to have nothing extra to say. Looking around the room, Chen Shu knew that he was looking for a comfortable recliner that could be used as a hypnotic tool.

"The chairs all have straight backs and no elbows, so it seems inappropriate." Chen Shu remembered the reclining chair in Zhou Xu's study, and asked, "Is it okay to lean on the bed?"

Zhou Xu paused, he didn't expect Chen Shu to have such a proposal.

They put two pillows on the head of the bed, and Chen Shu leaned on them to try it out, and found it to be pretty good.Zhou Xu turned on the heater in the bedroom again, and played soothing music on his mobile phone.

"That's unnecessary," Chen Shu lay on the pillow for a while, then turned his head to Zhou Xu, "In this way, I will fall asleep within a second." He is very sincere: "Really, I didn't lie to you, recently It's really tiring."

Zhou Xu silently turned off the music.

"Is there anything else you need?" he asked.

Chen Shu thought, if it was Zhou Xu who was before taking a hot spring with me, he should care about anything at this time.Sure enough, Chen Shu was still awkwardly alone without saying a word, Chen Shu sighed inwardly.

"I want Teacher Zhou to hold hands."

He looked at Zhou Xu with a smile.

Zhou Xu raised his eyebrows.

"If I fall asleep, you just shake it."

The heating light rose up to the beige ceiling, and then melted like snow on Chen Shu's coat hanging on the vertical hanger.Zhou Xu hung the scarf and coat next to Chen Shu's clothes, moved a chair and sat down on the bed, and held Chen Shu's hand with a slight chill.

"Put your body weight back, and slowly calm down your breathing..."

Zhou Xu's voice during hypnosis was softer than usual.

"You feel a heavy weight on your shoulders...Imagine you are in a dark corridor...the end of the corridor is far ahead..."

"You're almost at the end of the tunnel...that's a door, push it open and you'll be back to the day you were in class in A201 a week ago..."

"3...2...1, now, tell me what you saw."

Chen Shu fell into the snow-white pillow on his back, his expression peaceful as if he had really fallen asleep, only Zhou Xu's voice was still clear in his dim and silent consciousness.The subject who maintains a high degree of excitement to the suggestion of the caster is obedient and knows everything.

Zhou Xu held Chen Shu's hand and listened to him talking intermittently about meeting Professor Xiang Dong.Greet the usual hello, and then ask about the content of the previous class.Then Professor Xiang mentioned Zhou Xu's mother who committed suicide and asked Chen Shu what he thought of this matter.

The reason why Xiang Dong suddenly proposed to take over the course was because Zhou Xu told him Chen Shu's opinion.

Zhou Xu asked, "What did you say?"

Chen Shu suddenly tilted his head, like an emergency reaction after being stimulated, his lips were tightly closed.

Resistance reactions are not common in hypnosis. If it is not the subject's unwillingness to recall, there may be external factors.This made Zhou Xu reaffirm that Chen Shu's abnormal memory loss in the chat last week was not simple.

Zhou Xu waited for a while and asked, "Can you hear your own voice?"

Chen Shu sank into the pillow and frowned uncomfortably, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and he muttered softly that he had a headache.If this continues, it won't be long before he wakes up from the hypnotic state, but Zhou Xu wants to try again: "Can you see what is in front of you?"

Chen Shu didn't seem to hear his question: "...it hurts..." Zhou Xu noticed that his palms were getting wet, and immediately emphasized his tone: "You will wake up when I count to three..."

Chen Shu opened his eyes without warning, the corners of his eyes were red.

Zhou Xu walked into the bedroom with hot water, and Chen Shu curled up under the duvet, only the back of his dark head was exposed.

"Drink of water?"

After a while, a muffled sound came from under the quilt: "Headache."

Zhou Xu felt a little guilty, holding the water glass and didn't know what to say.

Chen Shu raised his head and stared at Zhou Xu: "Headache!"

Zhou Xu raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head: "...I'm sorry."

Chen Shu still stared at him.

Zhou Xu rubbed it again, and said sincerely, "You have really much hair."

Chen Shu also put aside his paw sincerely: "You are quite good at boasting..." He took the water glass and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhou Xu became serious: "You were in A201 that day, you should have been hypnotized. The caster erased part of your memory and left an instruction in your mind. Once someone tries to hypnotize you to recall what happened at that time , you will end the hypnosis by yourself and wake up.”

Xiang Dong erased his memory of commenting on Zhou Xu's mother's suicide?Chen Shu, who had no impression at all, felt very unreal.Moreover, Chen Shu had no memory of what happened after he entered the office and exchanged pleasantries with Xiang Dong that day.

But Zhou Xu was even more dignified, every word he uttered seemed to have rolled between his teeth countless times, and his body was full of deep meaning like ghost needles: "The only person around you who can use hypnosis to recall memory is me."

Chen Shu immediately realized something, and grabbed the water glass tightly——Is there something Xiang Dong doesn't want Zhou Xu to know.

"But the times have changed, he forgot that the Internet has memory," Zhou Xu said, "You'd better review that reasoning variety show again, Chen Shu, I need your opinion."

Of course, Chen Shu held the tablet again and spent the whole morning in the hotel watching variety shows.Repeatedly breaking his professional habit of not watching his own shows.Director Huang originally arranged for him to use his vacation to find Teacher Xiao Zhou to finish his class, but his teacher is not free today, otherwise he would not have come to Chen Shu the night before.

Xin Hong learned that he had no class today, so he came to make an appointment for dinner. Seeing that he was watching the mystery variety show again, he was speechless: "Why do you like this script so much?"

"Do I like it very much?" Chen Shu held his flat head without lifting it.

"Yeah, I heard that I even asked the screenwriter for the original manuscript," Xin Hong said, "Goodbye, go watch your variety show, you will miss the most worthwhile foie gras beef in this city."

Chen Shu waved him back and sent him out.

In the afternoon, Director Huang called the crew to a dinner party in the group, and booked the most authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot restaurant in the city that is worth visiting.

Chen Shu was forced by Xiao Peng to drink a large cup of ginger soup in the hotel before he huddled in a woolen scarf and went out. Everyone gathered at the door of the hotel waiting to go.Xin Hong leaned against the half-person-high potted vase, stroking his stomach in particular melancholy: "I have eaten for too long at noon, and I haven't digested it yet."

Chen Shu congratulated him: "It's a feast for the taster to eat both the delicious foie gras beef and the most authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hotpot."

Jiao Yuting popped his head out from behind the potted plant: "Yes, Brother Chen, it's a pity that you didn't come with us at noon today! Having lunch with Mr. Xin is really a worthwhile experience, not only can you learn about various dishes , but also to exchange acting experience! Teacher Xin, thank you for inviting me to lunch!"

Chen Shu smacked the taste in these words, and felt that he, an outsider, should walk away with dignity?It happened that the car arrived, so they went out together with Xiao Peng, and heard Xin Hong say silently behind his back: "You thanked me five times today..."

The people in the same box as Chen Shu were all core members of the film crew. When Chen Shu opened the door and went in, Director Huang and several producers had already had a drink.Chen Shu was not surprised that there were people he didn't know during the meeting, probably representatives of the management. What was unexpected was that he saw an acquaintance beside Director Huang.

When Director Huang saw him coming in, he greeted him warmly: "This is the actor of our male lead, Chen Shu. Come on, Xiao Chen, I specially invited Professor Xiang here today. You have to thank the professor for his technical guidance!"

Xiang Dong stood up calmly, and stretched out his hand as if meeting Chen Shu for the first time: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
