Chapter 328 The Most Important Thing is You

“You’re not abnormal, you’re just a little special.” Lin Jian smiled slightly and said softly, “The word ‘harm’ isn’t determined by outsiders, but by the person themselves.”

"From your description, he seems to be a very good person. Assuming he likes you too, isn't this unintentional harm to you also a form of harm to him?"

She looked at Qin Zhao: "Intimate relationships are a matter between two people. It is true that you need to consider the other person's feelings, but what is more important is your own."

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, the image of his wounded eyes flashing through his mind: "The problem itself still exists, doesn't it? If I could control it, I could make him understand. But I can't control it. Do I have to make him understand for three years?"

She lowered her eyelids: "These reactions may not completely disappear even three years later."

Intelligent people are more prone to being stubborn.

Lin Jianwei's eyes softened even more: "Zhaozhao, you are the most important person in this process."

"First, you must accept your body's reaction. It's not hindering you, but protecting you."

The mist in Qin Zhao's eyes turned into water vapor.

Lin Jianwei paused for a moment: "Admittedly, it places higher demands on partners. But it is also a form of selection in itself."

Lin Jianwei patiently said, "The first thing you need to consider is whether this person has the ability or potential to become your partner."

If needed, I can help you create a performance gauge to see how he performs. Then we can consider the next steps. How about that?

Qin Zhao gently shook his head: "No need."

Psychological counseling cannot be completed in one session, so Lin Jianwei did not insist.

At the end, Lin Jian smiled and said, "I'm glad you chose to continue trusting me. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

Qin Zhao hummed in agreement: "Thank you, Sister Jianwei."

She paused for a moment: "I hope this conversation will remain confidential, including with my family."

Lin Jianwei nodded: "Of course."

After Qin Zhao left, she pondered for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly and shook her head.

Qin Zhao didn't tell her everything at all; instead, he selectively concealed some of the information.

Is she afraid of worrying her parents, or afraid of affecting her boyfriend's image in her family's eyes?
-
Qin Zhao emerged from the consultation room, looking at the familiar building with a sense of disorientation.

Good news: It's not an illness.

The bad news: It's almost like an illness. It might not even get better.

The neon lights outside the car window quietly lit up, and Qin Zhao stared blankly for the entire journey.

She ate her meal and then lay down on the swing in the yard.

Summer days are long, and the sky at the end of the blue hour is particularly rich in color.
-
"These reactions may never disappear, but their frequency and intensity will gradually decrease."
-
"If I hadn't met you... wouldn't it be... better?"

The swing sways slowly, as if one can take a break from the slumber.

The phone rang.

Shen Yanci sent a photo of the sky, taken through a floor-to-ceiling window.

"Like the London sky?"

Qin Zhao: "It doesn't seem like it."

Shen Yanci: "I don't think so either."

"..."

Qin Zhao's smile froze before it could even fully bloom.

Does he want to go back to London?

She deleted the ellipsis in the input box.

Qin Zhao pursed his lips, raised his head when he heard footsteps, and met Qin Qiong's smiling eyes.

Qin Qiong laughed and said, "Want to play on the swing? Mom can push you around."

Qin Zhao: "Mom."

"Ah."

Qin Qiong responded and sat on the swing with Qin Zhao. Qin Qiong patted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Qin Zhao leaned against her and shook his head.

Qin Zhao's phone beeped with a message notification, and she opened it to check.

Qin Zhao's phone beeped with a message notification. She opened it to check. It was from Lin Shi.

He said he'd be back tomorrow so we could go out for dinner together.

She replied with an "okay".

Qin Qiong noticed her subtle shift from anxiety to disappointment.

She casually asked, "Xiao Shi is going home tomorrow. Should we invite Yan Ci over for dinner sometime? They haven't seen each other in a long time."

Qin Zhao tapped his phone: "I don't know what my brother's plans are. We'll see when the time comes."

Qin Qiong looked at her listless expression and seemed to be deep in thought.

They sat in the courtyard for a while before returning to their room.

Qin Zhao returned to his room, turned on his phone, and saw several updates on his WeChat Moments.

She clicked on it.

Below is a selfie from Liang Shiyu's WeChat Moments, showing a photo of a dining table. The post is filled with photos of her surroundings.

The caption reads: "Turns out we haven't changed at all."

I was wearing a familiar watch in the selfie.

Qin Zhao didn't look for long before his eyes started to feel sore.

Yesterday I wanted to break up, today I miss the London sky.

So roundabout.

She dialed the number and heard Shen Yanci's deep, magnetic voice.

That energy suddenly vanished. She said, "Is there something you haven't told me yet?"

Shen Yanci was silent for two seconds: "What?"

"Do you expect me to say it?" Qin Zhao pursed his lips. "I'm giving you this one chance. If you don't speak up, you won't have another chance."

Shen Yanci held his phone, paused for a moment, and pretended not to understand: "I have nothing to say."

"I'm really busy right now, I'll hang up now if I don't have time."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Qin Zhao stared at the extinguished phone for two seconds, stunned.

A surge of evil fire rose.

He has time to eat with other people, but not time to answer her calls.

Two days ago he asked if I could kiss him, but today there's nothing to say.

This is how you treat someone when you're about to break up.

Qin Zhao sent him an emoji of someone throwing stones at him.

Shen Yanci's phone beeped, and a line of small text appeared in the pinned chat window: "[Get lost.]"
He didn't even open the phone, but turned it face down and drank a glass of wine.

Seeing this, Kuang Xu quickly pulled him away, saying, "That's enough. I don't want to carry you back."

Shen Yanci glanced at him: "Didn't you say she likes me?"

They've even broken up with each other at each other's doorsteps.

Even if you ask him to bring it up, he won't.

Kuang Xu: "..."
-
Qin Zhao had a poor appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice at noon.

Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng exchanged a glance, both with expressions of heartache and helplessness.

Qin Qiong: "Baby, has the food been a bit unpalatable lately?"

Qin Zhao glanced at the half-eaten bowl of rice in his bowl and pinched his chopsticks: "It's too hot."

“The weather can definitely affect your appetite,” Qin Qiong asked softly. “Is there anything you’d like to eat? Mom will have someone prepare it.”

Lin Zheng chimed in, "That's right, Zhao Zhao. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Dad's also feeling a bit tired of the dishes lately and wants to try something different."

They both looked at her. Qin Zhao said, "Wouldn't Southeast Asian style food be better?"

"Southeast Asian cuisine is characterized by its sour, spicy, sweet, and fragrant flavors, which is indeed more suitable for hot and humid weather," Qin Qiong praised. "Baby really thought of everything."

Lin Zheng also laughed and said, "That's right, Zhaozhao is still the smartest. She saved Dad's appetite."
