At the end of 2006, Xu Dongcheng replaced Shen Qi with a psychologist.

Shen Qi had been treated in Dr. Bai's consulting room for three years. He had taken all kinds of medicines at home and abroad. Over time, various side effects appeared.

Shen Qi's anorexia became more and more serious. At the beginning, he could force himself to eat as much as he wanted for a year. Later, he vomited whatever he ate. The weight of a 1.7-meter-three man was only in double digits, and his hypoglycemia was so severe that he often passed out.He gradually began to lose his hair, he was easily startled, dreamy, and broke out in cold sweats.

Ruan Changling was so anxious that she hung up the expert number and asked to stop the medicine, but Dr. Bai said that Shen Qi's condition was not stable and the medicine could not be stopped.

She was so anxious that she quarreled with Dr. Bai. She didn't know what it meant for her son to be in a stable condition after taking the messy medicine for almost three years.

Later, Xu Dongcheng decided to stop the medicine and changed the psychiatrist.

The new psychiatrist is a returned overseas returnee, a humorous young man named Zhang Hao.Zhang Hao was recommended by Xu Dongcheng, an old professor of psychology at Tianjin University. It is said that he learned some new type of psychological counseling abroad, and he advocated the principle of less medication.

Shen Qi went to meet Zhang Hao a few times, and now he is no longer hysterical, sitting in front of a stranger, holding his palms, can calm himself down, and sometimes he can even make a few harmless jokes with him with a smile.

Zhang Hao's first impression when he saw Shen Qi was that he was a young man who was so clean that he was almost transparent.So later when he chatted with his friend Zhong Chenglin and brought up the topic of beauties, he casually said: "A beauty is in the bone but not the skin, like a deep dwelling."

Zhong Chenglin immediately asked: "Who is Shen Qi?"

Zhang Hao's mind was spinning rapidly. His good friend is an out-and-out homosexual. After coming out of the closet many years ago, he has never met a suitable person. He remembered that in the medical records left by Shen Qi's former doctor, there was something about Shen Qi liking the same sex. Record.

Zhang Hao suddenly slapped his thigh, and said to Zhong Chenglin: "Shen Qi, one of my current patients, in line with professional ethics, I can only tell you that he is very good-looking."

Zhong Chenglin smiled and didn't take it to heart, he really didn't believe that a man could be so good looking.

A few months later, Zhong Chenglin met Shen Qi who came for treatment outside Zhang Hao's consulting room.

At that time, Shen Qi couldn't resist Ruan Changling, so he came to Zhang Hao's consultation room for the last psychological meditation, which took more than two hours, and before he got up and took a few steps, his eyes were dark, when he opened the door and saw someone outside, he subconsciously wanted to get out of the way.

Zhong Chenglin watched him leave all the time, and asked Zhang Hao who was that after entering the door.

"Shen Qi."

It was only then that Zhong Chenglin understood what it meant to be a beauty with bones but not skin.

Seeing Zhong Chenglin like this, Zhang Hao suddenly felt that what he was thinking before had something to do with it. He gossiped and said to Zhong Chenglin, "In two days, Mrs. Xu invited me to my house for dinner, do you want to come together?"

"Mrs. Xu?"

"It's Shen Xi's house, do you want to go?"

Zhong Chenglin said: "Go, why not go."

Ruan Changling invited Zhang Hao to dinner mainly to thank Zhang Hao for taking care of Shen Qi. In her opinion, after Shen Qi changed to a psychiatrist, he became much more energetic.

When Zhang Hao came to Xu's house, he was accompanied by a well-mannered young man.

Ruan Changling was very fond of Zhong Chenglin who was wearing glasses and a casual suit, and Zhang Hao expressed Zhong Chenglin's sexual orientation to her. She looked at it carefully and felt that if Shen Qi liked men, at least he had to be like this to be worthy Go to Shenqi.

Ruan Changling became interested, and deliberately introduced Shen Qi and Zhong Chenglin to each other at the dinner table.

Xu Dongcheng had a headache, he felt that even if Shen Qi liked men, there was no need to introduce him to someone in such a hurry.But looking at Ruan Changling's posture, he is probably very satisfied with Zhong Chenglin.

Shen Qi was still in a trance, and exchanged phone numbers with Zhong Chenglin. After nearly two months of intermittent contact, he still hasn't figured out whether his surname is Zhou or Zou.

When Zhang Hao heard his name was Zhou Chenglin, he reminded him politely but still awkwardly: "Zhong Chenglin, thank you."

Shen Qi let out an "oh".

Zhong Chenglin couldn't straighten up laughing when he heard Zhang Hao talking about this conversation, he suddenly felt that the cool and cold Shen Qi was so cute.He said that when he heard Shen Qi call him Zou Chenglin before, he didn't think that Shen Qi didn't remember his name, he thought it was Shen Qi's accent.

"God damn accent." Zhang Hao said.

Zhong Chenglin smiled and said nothing.

He was in his early 20s when he came out, and wanted to give the person he liked a future. Only after he was beaten to death did he realize that that person had compromised with his parents, so he thought, let’s give this future to the person he likes in the future.Then at the age of 24, he met Shen Qi.

He felt lucky, fortunately he survived alone, if he could be with Shen Qi in the future, those terrible things would not have to go through a second time.

However, he found that Shen Xi's world seemed to be impenetrable, and he couldn't get in no matter what.But I don't want to give up. In this world, it is very difficult to meet someone who I like at first sight.

Years splash ink and leave blank, you have to meet someone.

Time flies by, time flies like an arrow, everything is advancing little by little, taking some things away and leaving some traces.

At the end of 2007, Shen Qi's treatment had come to an end. He had calmed down many things in his heart. Forget what he couldn't get, what he lost, what he couldn't let go of, let it go.

As Zhang Hao said, the reason why people torture themselves must be to use this pain to let themselves remember something.

But being in a cocoon is the most meaningless thing.Those things that cannot be forgiven, then I will not forgive them, I will not forgive Shen Qingzhu, and I will not forgive those people who stripped their dignity.

The treatment is over, Zhang Hao is no longer Shen Qi's doctor, he is clamoring to be Shen Qi's friend.

Shen Qi didn't refuse, but he subconsciously felt that Zhang Hao was pitying himself.He was afraid of the word "friend", and he could still think of every subtle expression of Lin Yuan and Ning Zhe accusing him.

In April, one of Xu Dongcheng's partners gave him several tickets to famous scenic spots, and he spared time to take his family to visit together.

Ruan Changling likes Zhang Hao and Zhong Chenglin very much, and even called them together for family activities.

Xu Dongcheng knew that she hadn't died yet to match Zhong Chenglin and Shen Qi's heart.

Lingshan is a natural scenic spot. Now it is the peak season, and there is a lot of traffic. There are many people taking pictures in the peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain.Ruan Changling spread a picnic cloth at the foot of the mountain, placed a lot of desserts and snacks, and prepared water for everyone.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Yang pestered Shen Qi to play, and followed Shen Qi like two little tails.

Lingshan has a winding stone ladder to go up the mountain. Ruan Changling wanted Zhong Chenglin and Shen Qi to be alone, so she stopped Xu Xiaoxiao and Xu Yang, and suggested that Zhong Chenglin take Shen Qi up to have a look.

Shen Qi walked very slowly, Zhong Chenglin was beside him to cooperate with his steps.None of them are talkative people, and they hardly spoke along the way.

There is an ancient temple on Lingshan, where many gods and Buddhas are enshrined, and many tourists who come here for the name begin to kowtow outside the temple.

Shen Qi stood outside the ancient temple and began to put his palms together, Zhong Chenglin asked him after he opened his eyes: "Do you believe this?"

Shen Qi said: "I didn't believe it before."

"Then do you believe it now?"

"I believe it."

"why?"

"Because I want to ask for something."

Zhong Chenglin felt very strange, he once thought that Shen Qi was a person who had no desires or desires, how could he want to ask for anything?Even if you want something, how can you ask the gods and Buddhas?

Shen Qi followed the people who prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, kowtowed five steps from outside the temple to the inside of the temple, knelt in front of the Buddha statue, put his hands together, devout and humble.

Zhong Chenglin felt that he seemed to have seen a real Shen Qi.

When going down the mountain, Zhong Chenglin couldn't help asking Shen Qi curiously: "Can you tell me, what are you asking for?"

Shen Qi said: "One is to ask my adoptive mother to rest in peace, to be free from suffering, to complete her merits and virtues, and to have a smooth next life."

"What about two?"

Shen Qi said: "The second is to ask the person I love to meet someone who truly loves him."

Zhong Chenglin frowned slightly, but still couldn't help asking him: "Why did you ask for this?"

Shen Qi gave a rare smile, tilted his head and said playfully, "Because he has a bad temper, is domineering and petty, and is not likable at all."

Zhong Chenglin lost his mind for a moment in Shen Qi's smile, felt a little empty in his heart, subconsciously asked him: "Then... he is so bad, why do you still like him?"

"Who can tell."

"Then will you still like him in the future?" Zhong Chenglin asked tentatively.

Shen Qi stared at the blush below the mountain, and walked forward slowly, he seemed to be speaking to Zhong Chenglin, but also seemed to be speaking to himself.

"I don't like it anymore, I don't deserve it." Life is so difficult to meet, and if he is so young, the so-called liking or not is actually meaningless.The person he likes is in the sky in the clouds, and his love is just a speck of dust.

After returning from Lingshan, Shen Qi fell ill. Maybe it was because the wind on the top of the mountain was blowing too much. After returning, he developed a high fever, which lasted for more than a week.

Zhong Chenglin is an interior designer by profession, and because of Shen Qi's illness, he almost moved his work to Xu's house.Ruan Changling saw it and liked this young man even more.

After Shen Qi recovered from his illness, Ruan Changling even directly recognized Zhong Chenglin as his godson, and set up a feast to treat the guests in a serious way, taking it very seriously.

Zhong Chenglin couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't catch up with Shen Qi, but he became the godson of the Xu family.

Xu Dongcheng's Xuye Group is in the building materials business. In 2008, when the imperial capital reported the global event of the Olympic Games, his company cooperated with several real estate companies in the imperial capital. Taking advantage of this Dongfeng, it turned over several times and became a The most competitive building materials company in Jincheng.

Zhong Chenglin set up his own studio, focusing on the interior design of small and medium-sized apartments. He participated in everything from material selection to decoration, and had some intersections with Xuye Group's market.

Xu Dongcheng also likes Zhong Chenglin very much. Influenced by Ruan Changling, he also hopes that Zhong Chenglin and Shen Qi can get together.So at work, he more or less helped Zhong Chenglin's studio.

In fact, Zhong Chenglin deliberately avoided suspicion, he didn't want to be taken care of by Xu Dongcheng, he liked Shen Qi only because he was Shen Qi, not because he was someone's son.

But it seems that he and Shen Qi have not made any progress directly.

The only progress is probably that Shen Qi will no longer call him Zhou Chenglin or Zou Chenglin.

Thinking of this, Zhong Chenglin felt that he couldn't help but laugh.
