Chapter 812: Chapter 813: If you’re , I’ll become vulnerable again
Xia Yangyang hung her head low, “Gu Qichen, you’re always , and I’m going to become fragile again.”
Gu Qichen took Xia Yangyang’s hand, “With me here, you don’t have to be strong.”
Xia Yangyang felt a bit like crying, feeling she was really too weak.
It wasn’t about being misunderstood by everyone, but that feeling of being protected.
It was the feeling that the whole world could betray you, yet there would always be one person standing behind you.
Xia Yangyang said, “Gu Qichen, thank you.”
Gu Qichen had already started the car, “Saying thank you to me is not as good as giving me a kiss.”
Xia Yangyang was amused by Gu Qichen and her mood inexplicably lightened.
Only when Gu Qichen’s car got on the overpass did Xia Yangyang finally ask, “Was Zhang Xinyi found?”
“Yes, she was at the cinema, watching ‘The Lonely Road’ all by herself, claiming that she had never watched her own movie in a theater before.”
When Gu Qichen said this, Xia Yangyang suddenly felt very sad.
The mental image alone was heart-wrenching.
Loneliness, for some people, is an incurable sickness.
“Did she see that news article?”
Gu Qichen frowned, “She must have.”
“I don’t know, the psychologist is doing an intervention, and Fang Zhengdong is with her. She said she wants to see you.”
Xia Yangyang said, “So we are going to see her now?”
“She’s now at River View Villa. I’ve already explained the news wasn’t written by you, but she still insists on meeting you.”
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen both fell silent.
It was a long time before Xia Yangyang finally asked, “Zhang Xinyi actually likes you, do you know that?”
Gu Qichen’s face showed no change.
But Xia Yangyang clearly saw his eyes narrow slightly.
Xia Yangyang had her answer.
Gu Qichen must have known.
Perhaps he had always pretended not to know.
The car soon entered the River View Community.
Here, each house was a detached garden villa.
The villas were built by the river, with an excellent environment.
The car stopped in front of one of the villas.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen got out of the car together.
And then they walked in.
Fang Zhengdong was sitting on the sofa downstairs.
Upon seeing Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen, he quickly stood up.
Gu Qichen asked, “How are things?”
Fang Zhengdong looked serious, “Dr. Anmie said it’s not great, but Xinyi seems normal, even capable of a smile.”
Xia Yangyang felt a heaviness in her heart.
During her time in the United States, she had done some interviews with the depressed population.
Some people don’t show it on the outside.
On the contrary, some who look normal and love to smile are the ones who cut their wrists with knives at night, covered in wounds.
Those without depression can hardly understand their feelings.
The opposite of depression isn’t happiness, but vitality.
They live like zombies, unable to muster any interest in anything.
Even communicating, walking, even breathing takes a tremendous amount of effort.
Living year after year has made them lose confidence in life.
Xia Yangyang said, “I’ll go see her, I’ve had three months of contact with depression sufferers, maybe I can talk her through it.”
Xia Yangyang went upstairs.
As Xia Yangyang entered,
The psychologist just came out from inside.
