walk across the bridge of fog

24.

When He Ren walked into the "Heart Bridge", she was holding a small cake box in her hand. She seemed to be walking in on time, 10 minutes earlier than the diagnosis and treatment time, no more than 1 minute, no less.

Unlike the usual silence, this time He Ren walked up to Qin Yue and put the small cake box on the desk, "This is my favorite thousand-layer cake. I hope it suits your taste."

Qin Yue raised his head in surprise.Every time He Ren came early, he sat there silently waiting for Duanmu, hardly talking to Qin Yue.Today's approach is very abrupt, and looks a little stiff and unnatural.

"Ah, thank you for your kindness. I don't eat desserts very much. You can bring them in to Dr. Duanmu." Qin Yue declined.

"Can you invite Dr. Duanmu out for afternoon tea?"

Qin Yue noticed that He Ren smiled a little shyly.

He Ren hastily added, "This mille-feuille cake is not very sweet. It will taste better with coffee."

According to Qin Yue's experience, Duanmu's diagnosis and treatment of He Ren began to be effective, and she was very happy.This is exactly their original intention of creating "Heart Bridge".

"Okay, let's go to the sofa to eat. I'll call Duanmu, and you go make coffee." Qin Yue was also blunt, and pointed to the coffee machine.

There is a coffee machine in the waiting area, as well as tea bags and hot water.Qin Yue originally thought that most people who came here would have sleep problems, and there would not be too many people drinking coffee.However, the reality is that it's roughly half the population drinking coffee and half drinking tea here.And He Ren is the half who drinks coffee.

"Hi, He Ren, today is so good, and afternoon tea?" Duanmu walked out with a smile.She was wearing a low-neck sweater, and a small silk scarf was tied around her clean neck. Her long hair had become a neat short hair.

Seeing Duanmu in a daze, He Ren finally said softly, "Dr. Duanmu is so beautiful today."

"Thank you. You too." Duanmu answered naturally.

He Ren just made a cup of bitter coffee and put it in front of Duanmu.

After Duanmu and Qinyue both glanced at the coffee, they exchanged glances with each other.How can He Ren be so sure about Duanmu's taste?Duanmu does drink bitter coffee.It's just that she couldn't remember when He Ren noticed her taste.

He Ren raised his head and asked Qin Yue, "What do you want to drink?"

"Cappuccino." Qin Yue replied.This is the normal state.

He Ren made two cups of cappuccino, one for each of Qin Yue.

The three sat down, and before starting, Duanmu glanced at his watch habitually.

"Doctor Duanmu, don't mind the time, it will be deducted from my consultation time." He Ren keenly noticed Duanmu's movements.

"Ha, am I really a miser in your eyes?" Duanmu joked.He Ren's performance surprised Duanmu. "I'll make up time for you today."

"No, no, forget about my rudeness." He Ren clasped his hands together and made an apology.

This is a harmonious afternoon tea, the cake is quite delicious, and it goes well with the coffee.

The consultation started in the most natural way possible.He Ren took the initiative to talk about his efforts to change this week.

He Ren invited his boss to have a simple lunch, and also briefly talked about his thoughts.The leader affirmed her work, but rejected her suggestion.

"How do you feel about this effort?" Duanmu asked.

"I don't have any feelings, I just speak out my thoughts according to your suggestion. I can't praise and flatter like others. My mother said since I was a child that I never have a good word for others."

"What do you think of this evaluation?"

"If I don't have anything good to say about a person, then simply don't say anything to him. This is my self-cultivation later on." He Ren replied.

"But last time, you told me that my practice has caused me a vicious circle." He Ren showed a mocking smile without malice.

"You have to make your own choice." Duanmu also smiled slightly.

"I made a choice, so I invited my boss to have a light meal. It seems that the effect is average." He Ren paused, and Duanmu smiled and saw her without making any excuses, and then took it by himself, "I just want to tell You, I am not in self-imposed exile, I use my everyday life to experiment and change old behaviors."

"He Ren, I'm glad to hear what you said." Duanmu flicked the bangs on his forehead.She hasn't fully adjusted to the new hairstyle yet.

He Ren seemed inspired, and continued, "I started writing this week. I wrote a book review for an official account. I felt smooth when I wrote it, but when I re-read it after it was published, it was actually very empty. I It should be able to write more convincingly. I have been idle for too long. But, I finally started to write."

He Ren is very talkative today, and she has a strong desire to talk.

But, slowly, Duanmu felt that He Ren's condition today was so good that it was faintly worrying.

"I told a story in the article, do you want to hear it?" He Ren asked earnestly.

"You talk. I'm listening." Duanmu's voice was flat.

"There used to be a famous poet, the Portuguese poet Pessoia. You probably haven't heard of it. In fact, I haven't read his poems. Pessoia has a set of Japanese porcelain cups with exquisite patterns. He couldn't put it down. He stared at it every day. The floral decorations on the porcelain cup built his own Japan day after day, and created a large number of beautiful poems. One day, he was fortunate to meet a well-known Japanese scholar. Pessoia was greatly disappointed by the scholar’s ​​description of Japan , completely different from the Japan he imagined." He Ren stopped, "Can you guess the ending of the story?"

Duanmu shook his head, she is not Yu Xiaobu, so she will not guess randomly.

"Pessoa decided to completely ignore the views of Japanese scholars and continue to stare at the set of precious porcelain cups that inspired him." He Ren smiled to himself after telling the story.

Duanmu stared at He Ren's smile, she was waiting for He Ren's experience.

"After I wrote this story, I suddenly realized that what you said was correct. Isn't Wenxin my set of Japanese porcelain cups? She..."

"He Ren, I never said such a thing." Duanmu interrupted He Ren.
