Chapter 18 Liu Yuan's Thoughts
After coming out of the office, Ms. Zhou had already calmed down. Except for the slight redness in her eyes, it was impossible to tell that she had just lost such a big emotional control.
When she came to the lounge, Liu Yuan quickly stood up, took her mother's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Mom... are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just talked about you and I'm a little worried, but mom believes you can overcome this disease."
Ms. Zhou smiled softly and touched Liu Yuan's head. Her daughter was sixteen years old and had grown as tall as her. Time really disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yuan glanced at her mother suspiciously, and then at Yuan Jia, who was waiting at the door.
Yuan Jia noticed her gaze, smiled and nodded, indicating that she could come over.
"Come over, Dr. Yuan is very professional. If you have any worries or questions, you can tell him." Ms. Zhou said, holding Liu Yuan's hand.
"Um……"
Liu Yuan stood up and walked over, her eyes turning, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yuan Jia closed the door of the lounge and took Liu Yuan into the office.
Liu Yuan sat where her mother had just been sitting, with her hands folded on her legs. She was a little nervous. She even looked through the office window into the lounge. Ms. Zhou seemed to be thinking about something and not looking at her.
I was sitting on the sofa drinking water.
Yuan Jia brought Liu Yuan a glass of warm water, stood up and closed the curtains in the office.
At this moment, the situation in the office could no longer be seen in the lounge. Liu Yuan felt even more nervous. She held the water glass and said timidly: "Doctor Yuan...I..."
Yuan Jia sat across from her with a smile and said softly: "Don't be nervous, just treat us as a normal chat."
That's what he said, but this time was different from usual. Yuan Jia deliberately made Liu Yuan nervous, because he judged that Liu Yuan was most likely lying, and making her nervous would make it easier for her to spot flaws.
"Well... Doctor Yuan, even I don't know what's going on. As soon as the exam comes, I get very nervous, my mind goes blank, my heart panics, and then my performance becomes abnormal..."
"You can call me Teacher Yuan."
"ah…?"
"Because you are not sick, why do you call me doctor?"
Yuan Jia deliberately used a pun to irritate Liu Yuan.
Ordinary guests will think that Yuanjia is considerate of them and says that he is just a teacher to help them solve their problems. This is not an illness.
But Liu Yuan was different. When she heard Yuan Jia's words, her body suddenly froze as if she was electrocuted. She raised her head that had been lowered and looked at Yuan Jia in disbelief.
How do you know?
Did your mother say something to you?
Or is there something wrong with my performance?
But we have just started talking...
A series of random thoughts quickly passed through Liu Yuan's mind, and then she continued to pretend not to understand Yuan Jia's words, and said: "Doctor Yuan... I will have insomnia before the exam, my head will hurt, and my hands and feet will be uncontrollable.
Trembling, palms will sweat a lot...I...I don't want to take the exam now..."
Liu Yuan was very nervous at the moment and her speech was a little incoherent.
Yuan Jia nodded and motioned for her to stretch out her hand and open it, and she could see the stickiness on her palm through the light.
"You are nervous when you are like this."
When Liu Yuan heard this, her heartbeat seemed to have missed half a beat, her head felt a little dazed, she took her hand back and hid it under the table, lowered her head and said nothing.
Yuan Jia said with a smile, then looked into her eyes, "You weren't nervous during the exam, were you?"
Liu Yuan's thoughts were confused and she couldn't figure out how Yuan Jia could tell that she was lying, but it was obvious that continuing to lie would have no effect.
Liu Yuan lowered her head and remained silent.
Yuan Jia didn't say anything, and gave her some time to readjust. He stood up, poured out the old tea in the cup, and made a new cup of tea.
The fragrance of tea drifted into Liu Yuan's nose, and her mood gradually stabilized.
Like a child who was caught doing something wrong, he lowered his head and refused to say a word.
Yuan Jia took a sip of tea, put down the cup and muttered to himself: "I once suffered from exam syndrome, so I can tell your situation at a glance. You don't have to worry about this."
Liu Yuan raised her head and glanced at him, but still said nothing.
"The office is soundproofed. You don't have to worry about your mother hearing the conversation here, and I won't tell anyone about our conversation, not even your parents."
Liu Yuan opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak.
"You should have seen your mother crying just now. Do you know why she cried?" Yuan Jia asked.
Liu Yuan finally spoke. She looked up at Yuan Jia and asked in a low voice: "Why? Is it because of me..."
"Well. She was under a lot of pressure. She wanted you to have a better life, but you suffered from exam syndrome. She didn't know you were lying. She only knew that you were everything to her, so you
Why do this?"
Yuan Jia did not tell Liu Yuan about Ms. Zhou and his wife, but changed his story.
Liu Yuan is not a mental patient. If you want to help her get out of her predicament, you must find out the reason.
Sure enough, after listening to Yuan Jia's words, Liu Yuan's eyes turned red. She was not as rational as her mother, as if she had been greatly wronged. She choked and said: "What happened to me lying... Aren't she and her father lying too?"
He said it was for my own good, but why didn't you tell me such a big thing... I just want the whole family to be together..."
Yuan Jia nodded and said: "I didn't tell your mother about you. Is it because your mother and father have a relationship problem? You are responsible for it yourself."
Liu Yuan could no longer control her emotions and said aggrievedly: "They thought I didn't know anything. I really didn't want to be like this... Why did it become like this..."
Ms. Zhou and his wife thought they had concealed the breakdown of their relationship well, but Liu Yuan accidentally discovered the divorce agreement they had hidden in their room.
The divorce agreement stated that when Liu Yuan is admitted to college and her personality matures, the two will automatically and peacefully dissolve their marriage.
Liu Yuan didn't know that her seemingly loving parents were hiding such a huge secret, so when she saw the divorce agreement, she was completely blinded. It felt like in The Truman World.
It seems like a good life is all an act.
Only she was kept in the dark and thought her family was harmonious and happy.
Liu Yuan thought of many ways, such as questioning her parents and asking them why they wanted to divorce and why they couldn't be together. But this would undoubtedly expose the truth directly. Her parents would no longer hide it from her, and they would just show their cards directly and the family
Just dispersed.
Because of this incident, Liu Yuan performed abnormally in one of her monthly exams. Ms. Zhou and Mr. Liu were both very concerned about her grades. It seemed that her parents could reach a consensus on her grades. They discussed and discussed her matters together.
Through communication, Liu Yuan felt that she had found a way.
So she pretended that she was suffering from exam syndrome, thinking simply that if her grades were worse and she could not even get into college, her parents would not be relieved and they would not get divorced again.
"Dr. Yuan... I really don't want to be like this... I also want to get my true grades and get into a good university. Every time I see the worried look in my class teacher's eyes when she looks at me, I feel so sorry for her.
...Why does it become like this..."
Liu Yuan cried so hard that her body twitched. After all, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl.
There was nothing she could do about her parents' feelings. She could only hope that this stupid method could tightly bind the family that was about to break up. She really tried her best.
"You're not sorry to anyone, just yourself..."
