Sweetie, sleep with me tonight.

Jiang Youxi immediately supported him, completely panicked and disoriented: "He Zhuo? What's wrong? Wake up? He Zhuo!"

A group of people caught up with them, shouting and yelling.

"Officer Lin, that madman Chi Kuo is here! He just kicked me, and this woman also verbally abused us terribly. Please arrest them immediately!"

Lin Qi pushed through the crowd and saw He Zhuo lying unconscious on the ground. His pupils dilated in shock.

He quickly helped He Zhuo up, pinched his philtrum, and called He Zhuo's name while asking Jiang Youxi about the situation.

Jiang Youxi told the truth, and Lin Qi paused, looking up.

Suddenly, I saw that secluded alleyway in front of me.

He instantly understood, and forcefully hoisted He Zhuo onto his back: "Let's go to my house first!"

Jiang Youxi looked puzzled, but seeing that he was wearing a police uniform, she didn't suspect anything and immediately followed him.

Lin Qi carried He Zhuo home and laid him down on the bed: "A Yue, Chi Kuo's illness has flared up again, you need to come back right away."

Li Yue asked in confusion, "Did he go back to Fish Village?"

"Yes, he's unconscious, in the same condition as before."

Li Yue rushed home and saw the grown-up man lying on the bed. Without thinking, she immediately began to treat him.

Jiang Youxi grabbed her arm: "Who are you?"

Li Yueliang showed her identification: "I am Li Yue, a psychologist at Qingren Hospital and also Officer Lin's wife."

Lin Qi gave a brief self-introduction and explained that he had saved He Zhuo in this way back then.

Jiang Youxi exclaimed in surprise, "So you're the Officer Lin Qi that He Zhuo mentioned?"

"Yes, he mentioned me to you?"

Jiang Youxi nodded: "He mentioned your name, saying you are a good policeman and that you once saved his life."

He Zhuo rarely mentioned his childhood in Yuzhong Village to her; the only time he did was when he was half asleep and mumbled a few words about it.

Jiang Youxi only knew the name Officer Lin Qi; she knew nothing else about him.

Lin Qi sighed. Time was of the essence, so he didn't explain much and immediately went to fetch all the blankets from the house, as his wife had instructed.

Li Yue skillfully piled all the blankets into a high wall, surrounding He Zhuo and giving him a sense of physical security.

After doing all this, she took out a handpan and gently placed her fingers on the plate.

Soon, a soft and pleasant sound drifted out, gently echoing throughout the room.

The man who had been lying on the bed in a curled-up position with a pained expression gradually relaxed as the butterfly made its sound.

Lin Qi made a gesture, indicating that they should go out first to give them a completely safe environment.

After leaving the room and returning to the hall, Lin Qi invited her to sit down and poured her a glass of water.

Jiang Youxi accepted it: "Thank you, Officer Lin."

"You're welcome. What's your relationship with Chi Kuo?"

"I am his girlfriend."

Lin Qi paused, looked at her a few more times in surprise, and then smiled with relief: "That's good. The fact that he can date you normally means he's almost over it."

Jiang Youxi held the warm water glass, still glancing anxiously towards the room: "Officer Lin, is He Zhuo... alright?"

Lin Qi then realized the form of address she used: "He Zhuo?"

Jiang Youxi snapped out of her daze: "Yes, his name is He Zhuo now."

Lin Qi realized: "I almost forgot, his father's surname is He. Back then, when his father came to pick him up, I personally took him into his father's arms."

"With my wife here, he'll be fine," Lin Qi glanced at the time. "If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up in two hours."

"Have you treated him like this before?"

"Yes. This will give him enough security, allow his mood to gradually calm down, relax his body, and prevent him from stubbornly getting stuck in this painful emotion and finding it difficult to break free." Lin Qi's tone was weak. "After that incident, he was only 12 years old. Although his body recovered, his psychological trauma was severe. It took A-Yue three whole months to provide him with psychological counseling before his condition improved."

"What exactly happened back then?" Countless questions swirled in Jiang Youxi's mind, unresolved. "And why was he so terrified when he saw that alleyway? And why did he faint because of it?"

Lin Qi asked in surprise, "He didn't mention it to you?"

Jiang Youxi lowered her head, somewhat disappointed: "He said he didn't want his dirty past to affect my mood."

"After all these years, he still has this mentality?"

Jiang Youxi nodded: "For the first few months after he came home, he always slept in the closet. Last year, he often had nightmares and could only sleep for three or four hours with the help of sleeping pills."

"Even now, if I don't sleep with him, he still has nightmares and can't get a full night's sleep."

Lin Qi never expected that He Zhuo would be in such pain after returning to his original home.

"Didn't the He family hire a doctor for him?"

He always thought that the He family was so rich, and could be considered a wealthy family in Jianghai City, so how come they couldn't even cure their own son's illness?

"I consulted a doctor, who said it's a psychological issue. He's had this unresolved issue for years."

Jiang Youxi took the initiative to tell Lin Qi about the specific circumstances of He Zhuo over the years.

Lin Qi's expression was solemn, and he sighed, "These doctors are right, Chi Kuo has always had a knot in his heart that he hasn't untied."

"What's bothering you?"

"His unresolved issue is Zhao Yuan, the eldest son of the Zhao family in Yuzhong Village."
