It wasn’t until ten o’clock that Yin Tao crawled onto bed. It seemed that Bai Luo had to work overtime and wouldn ‘t be back for the night again.
The next day, Yin Tao went out at the agreed time with Feng Jing. They first went to fetch Xu Shan from the Children’s Home with Lin Jia. Then, the three of them brought Xu Shan to Feng Jing’s doctor friend.
Feng Jing’s psychiatrist friend was a woman who appeared to be in her fifties. Everyone called her Dr. Yu.
Yin Tao was surprised. She thought that Feng Jing’s friend wouldn’t be too old. She wasn’t expecting her to be about the same age as her parents.
Because Xu Shan was too shy with strangers, Yin Tao had to accompany her into the consultation room.
Dr. Yu seemed very gentle and amiable. Even Yin Tao felt that she was easy to get along with. However, Xu Shan still held Yin Tao’s hand tightly. It was obvious that she was still wary.
“Feng Jing has briefed me over the phone. Have some water first.” Doctor Yu smiled and handed Yin Tao and Xu Shan two glasses of water. He squatted in front of Xu Shan and asked her gently, “Child, what’s your name?”
‘Xu Shan…
Yin Tao could tell that Xu Shan was still a little timid. For some reasons, Xu Shan didn’t seem to like the environment in the hospital. Yin Tao felt that Xu Shan wasn’t this nervous when she first met her.
“Doctor Yu, Shanshan has never liked to talk. What do you think caused it?” Yin Tao was a little worried about Xu Shan’s condition. This time, Xu Shan appeared even more autistic. Yin Tao was afraid that if this continued, it would affect Xu Shan even more.
“It’s not a bad thing to not like to talk. Introverts and extroverts are normal characteristics of humans.” Doctor Yu sat opposite Xu Shan and Yin Tao. She didn’t treat Xu Shan as a patient in the way she spoke or her attitude.
For the rest of the session, Dr. Yu was mostly trying all ways to play games with Xu Shan. Yin Tao didn’t know her intentions, but Xu Shan’s mood clearly eased a lot and she seemed to have warmed up to Dr. Yu.
Dr. Yu and Xu Shan played no less than five little games within forty minutes. By then, there seem to be some answers from her expression.
Because Xu Shan was present, Dr. Yu didn’t immediately exchange opinions with Yin Tao. Instead, she called Feng Jing and Lin Jia in and asked them to bring Xu Shan out.
When there were only the two of them left in the consultation room, Yin Tao, who was sitting opposite Dr. Yu, took the initiative to ask, “Dr. Yu, do you think Shanshan has some psychological problems?”
Dr. Yu looked at Yin Tao and asked with a smile, ‘What psychological problems do you think this child has?”
Yin Tao shook her head. Other than feeling that Shanshan was very withdrawn, she didn’t see any other abnormal behavior.
“If you think there’s no problem, then there’s no problem. Xu Shan is very clever. In terms of intelligence, she even surpasses most children her age.”
Yin Tao didn’t quite understand Dr. Yu’s words and continued to ask, “Do you mean that Shanshan has no psychological problems?”
“That’s right,” Dr. Yu replied without hesitation. “There’s no problem. She’s just introverted. After experiencing some bad things, she’s become much quieter. As long as you give her more companionship in the future, everything will be better.’
Yin Tao didn’t expect the doctor to come to such a conclusion. After all, Xu
Shan was still rather strange in the eyes of the teachers of the Children’s Home, but Dr. Yu felt that she was completely normal.
“But this child is still different from other children.”
Yin Tao was just about to raise some doubts when she was interrupted by the doctor. “Every child is unique. Don’t underestimate children sometimes. They also have their own opinions. It might not be a bad thing. After all, many geniuses have childhoods that were not understood.”
Yin Tao couldn’t refute anymore, so she handed Xu Shan drawings to Dr. Yu.
“Do you think there’s nothing wrong with these drawings?” Yin Tao felt that these terrifying and dark images would change Dr. Yu’s attitude. However, Dr. Yu wasn’t surprised by these drawings. Her tone remained calm.
“I’ve come into contact with many children who like this style of work Xu Shan’s actions can’t be considered a psychological illness.” Dr. Yu returned the phone to Yin Tao and continued, “There are only three reasons why Xu Shan drew this way. ”
Yin Tao looked intently at Dr. Yu, eager to hear what she would say next..
