The next day, Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo went to Ye Xiao's office for their appointment.
When Ye Xiao saw them, she shook hands with them naturally.
Gu Baisheng and Qu Xiaobo both shook hands with her gently.
After welcoming them, Ye Xiao invited Qu Xiaobo to go into the consulting room.
Qu Xiaobo felt a bit nervous after following Ye Xiao in.
She was clutching the corner of her shirt.
She looked a bit childish, so Gu Baisheng encouraged her, "You got this, girl!"
Qu Xiaobo nodded at Gu Baisheng after hearing it.
Then she followed Ye Xiao into the consulting room.
Ye Xiao smiled at Gu Baisheng when she closed the door.
Gu Baisheng nodded back friendly.
Then Ye Xiao closed the door.
Gu Baisheng was waiting outside the room.
She took out her phone and called Song Shuang in a low voice.
Song Shuang had got up because he would meet up with a professor for coffee.
When he was about to leave, he received Gu Baisheng's call.
He picked up the call quickly.
Gu Baisheng said good morning to him.
Song Shuang smiled, "Good morning."
"What's your plan for today?"
Gu Baisheng asked him casually.
Song Shuang answered patiently, "I'll have coffee with Professor Yu today."
"Professor Yu?"
On hearing this, Gu Baisheng couldn't help recalling the time when she studied at the medical school.
Professor Yu was the most popular professor in the Clinical Medicine Department.
His classes were always full of students.
Gu Baisheng used to attend his lectures many times.
Professor Yu could recognize her.
He sometimes asked her to answer questions when he did lectures for students who were a year ahead of her.
Gu Baisheng could answer all his questions because she attended his lectures so often.
So, Professor Yu enjoyed her attendance.
Song Shuang married her later.
She took her child to visit her university once and came across Professor Yu.
When Professor Yu met the child for the first time, he said, "This kid looks exactly like Song Shuang."
She just smiled at it.
But she didn't care about it too much.
She always found it a bit weird when she recalled the memory.
"Do you want to join us?" Song Shuang asked.
"I'm seeing the therapist with Qu Xiaobo now, so I can't make it. But I'd like to visit this professor with you another day."
Gu Baisheng felt that even though she was someone else now, it was still reasonable to visit this professor with Song Shuang.
Song Shuang smiled and responded, "No problem."
"Oh!" Gu Baisheng told him about the Gui Town thing after a second thought, "I need your help."
"OK."
Song Shuang would always say yes to Gu Baisheng.
No matter what it took, he would offer her help.
Gu Baisheng said, "It's about Zhang Kai."
"What happened to him?"
Song Shuang knew that there were some little problems with the relationship between Zhang Kai and Qu Xiaobo lately.
But he didn't know anything specific.
Gu Baisheng explained to Song Shuang patiently, "Zhang Kai has been at Gui Town, but Qu Xiaobo can't reach him. She's worried and has been planning to go to Gui Town to visit him. But I always have a bad feeling, so I didn't let her go."
"What do you want?"
Song Shuang checked with Gu Baisheng.
Gu Baisheng was honest, "I want you to go to Gui Town in advance."
"To look for Zhang Kai?"
"Yes, do you have time?"
Song Shuang seemed to be very busy lately.
But she couldn't come up with anyone who could help her except for Song Shuang.
"I'll go there this afternoon."
Song Shuang was straightforward.
He felt that it couldn't be delayed, so he was about to go there.
"Remember to call me after you arrive there!"
"OK."
After reaching an agreement with Gu Baisheng, he hung up and booked the plane ticket.
There happened to have a flight at 2 p.m.
He could fly to Gui Town after having coffee with Professor Yu.
He could return tomorrow morning if he was lucky.
Gu Baisheng felt relieved after making the arrangement with Song Shuang. As long as Song Shuang was willing to help, she felt it was much easier.
She hoped that Song Shuang could find Zhang Kai at Gui Town.
It would make Qu Xiaobo less worried.
After he confirmed Zhang Kai's situation, it wouldn't be a big deal even if Qu Xiaobo didn't go there.
She was waiting for Qu Xiaobo to finish her session with her phone in her hand.
She was also waiting for Song Yi to arrive.
But Song Yi didn't show up after half an hour.
So, Gu Baisheng gave up.
It was not a problem because Qu Xiaobo didn't even ask.
The door was open after more than an hour.
Ye Xiao walked out while talking to Qu Xiaobo gently, "The session went well. Please come over again this week if you have time."
Qu Xiaobo looked a bit pale.
She pressed her temples with her fingers.
After walking out with Ye Xiao, she smiled at Gu Baisheng, "Shengsheng."
Gu Baisheng noticed that she looked pale, so she went over and held her, "How do you feel?"
"I'm fine."
Qu Xiaobo smiled.
Gu Baisheng looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao knew that Gu Baisheng was worried about her friend, so she answered, "Although it's a bit tricky, Miss Qu is very cooperative. And the session went very well."
Gu Baisheng was happy, "She'll get over it quickly, right?"
Ye Xiao nodded, "Miss Qu, you can get over it at any time as long as you can understand what I said to you."
Ye Xiao had been in this field for a long time.
She was very experienced.
Qu Xiaobo's fear of marriage was rooted in her parents' failure in marriage.
Although now she had a boyfriend and a relationship, she still didn't believe that marriage would bring her happiness.
She viewed marriage as a tomb. As long as you stepped in it, all charm of love would be buried inside.
Influenced by this idea, Qu Xiaobo became very against marriage.
She was afraid and unwilling to get married.
She was unwilling to start a family with her boyfriend.
It was not a healthy mindset.
But if she could forget about her parents' marriage and get over her fear, she could overcome this.
She could then start to manage her relationship and marriage.
Qu Xiaobo nodded on hearing Ye Xiao's words.
Ye Xiao looked at her watch after confirming that Qu Xiaobo heard her words, "We'll finish today's session now. If you don't have anything else, you can go home and have a rest now."
Qu Xiaobo wanted to leave because her session was over.
She turned around and said to Gu Baisheng, "Let's go home."
Gu Baisheng nodded.
Although she agreed to leave, she didn't move.
Ye Xiao was about to turn away, but she noticed that Gu Baisheng didn't leave immediately, "Anything else, Miss Bai?"
"I..." Gu Baisheng told her after a second thought, "I want to consult my problem."
"Your problem?"
Although Ye Xiao was curious, she came to herself quickly. She looked at Qu Xiaobo who was equally confused and then guided Gu Baisheng with a gesture, "This way please, Miss Bai."
"Shengsheng..."
Qu Xiaobo wanted to follow them when she saw Gu Baisheng leaving with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao stopped her and smiled, "Miss Qu, please wait here."
Qu Xiaobo watched Gu Baisheng turn around with her mouth open. She nodded at her and stayed quiet.
Gu Baisheng followed Ye Xiao into the consulting room.
Ye Xiao asked her to lie on the couch and asked, "Anything I can help with, Miss Bai?"
"Dr. Ye." Gu Baisheng had been thinking about it for a long time, but now she decided to spit it out, "I've been having dreams a lot lately."
"Having dreams a lot?"
Ye Xiao smiled, "For many people, this problem is caused by stress. But for the other, it's because they're unique."
"I don't think it's because of stress." Gu Baisheng recalled her dreams, "I think my dreams are based on my real-life experiences."
She mistook Qu Xiaobo for that familiar guy last night.
That guy's face was so clear at that point.
It was so clear that when she looked at his face, her heart hurt.
The familiarity and pain rising from the bottom of her heart made her feel overwhelmed.
She was sure that at some point in her life, she was connected with this guy who showed up in her illusion.
But nobody told her.
Those experiences were like sealed by an ancient spell.
She didn't even know where to start.
"What did you dream about?"
Ye Xiao slightly bent over. Her eyes were very deep and concerned.
Gu Baisheng looked into her eyes and found them magical. She couldn't help recalling the fragments of her dreams.
"I dreamt about..."
...
Qu Xiaobo was waiting outside the room.
She played with her phone subconsciously.
Somehow, she called Zhang Kai when she looked down.
Nobody answered the call just like the previous times.
She stared at the words on her screen.
She put it on the speakerphone.
The voice suddenly became loud.
She was the only one waiting outside the room.
The sunlight poured in through the window and reached her feet.
She could sense the warmth of the new year everywhere.
But when she heard the prompt tone about nobody answering the call, she suddenly felt that the sunshine darkened around her.
She held her phone tightly and sighed gently with her head down, "Why don't you answer my call?"
"What case is so important that he can't even talk to me?"
"You completely forget about me because of your work?"
She wanted to ask Zhang Kai in person.
But she could only find out the answer on her phone or after she went to Gui Town.
In the consulting room, the clock was ticking.
Gu Baisheng frowned and couldn't stop crying subconsciously with her eyes closed.
Ye Xiao was surprised when she looked at her.
