This coffee shop is backed by the CBD. Most of the people who drink coffee here are white-collar workers. There is no noisy sound and it is very quiet.
Li Xiwu was already mentally prepared on the way.
Facing Jiang Ce's words, she took a sip of coffee, put it down and nodded calmly: "Okay."
Jiang Ce: "Then let me ask?"
Li Xiwu: "Okay."
Jiang Ce knew in his mind which sentence was the most appropriate to start with, and would not be too direct, so as not to make Li Xiwu feel repulsed and disgusted.
What followed was more than twenty minutes of questions and answers——
"Mrs. Pei first experienced memory fluctuations. Do you remember the day?"
"I went to Liangshan to record a program and was injured accidentally."
"Injured on the head?"
"Yes, the head."
"What did you remember at that time?"
"I remembered..."
It was quiet during this period. After about two minutes, Li Xiwu slowly answered: "I remembered the last time my father and I met in country T, and he disappeared in front of my eyes."
Jiang Ce knew very well that these memories were too sad, which was why Li Xiwu did not immediately answer directly.
After a while, Jiang Ce continued to ask: "Do you recall the past in the form of a dream every time?"
Li Xiwu nodded: "Yes."
"Do those fragments that appear in your dreams make you sad every time?"
"……yes."
"Every time?"
"Every time."
Jiang Ce said: "Because those things are unforgettable to you."
Li Xiwu choked, and the smile at the corner of his mouth turned bitter: "...Shouldn't it be the mixture of sorrow and joy that is unforgettable? Why do I only think of...sadness?"
Jiang Ce remained silent and did not give her a complete answer immediately.
He was worried about Li Xiwu's emotional disorder, so he temporarily changed the subject: "Do you need a snack?"
Li Xiwu shook his head: "No need, thank you."
She looked directly at Jiang Ce: "Go on, don't worry about my emotions, I have remembered most of them, nothing can affect me."
Jiang Ce clasped his hands on the table and said in a serious tone: "You have remembered most of them. In fact, I mean most of your experiences in country T. There has never been a fragment of your life in the capital, right?"
Jiang Ce's words brought up the important point.
This is also something Li Xiwu has always ignored.
She had a dream not long ago. She dreamed that her mother had passed away and she had just given birth to a child...
Everything that happened in the dream was very sad, as if she was born in pain and experienced all kinds of bitter consequences. Now that she has lost her memory, she can live a peaceful life.
Seeing that Li Xiwu had realized it, Jiang Ce smiled slightly: "After talking here, let's turn this topic to the question you asked me just now. You said that dreams are full of sadness, and I said that is what you have experienced.
Unforgettable, you ask me again, shouldn’t it be a mixture of sadness and joy? Yes, it is a mixture of sadness and joy, joy, anger, sorrow, ups and downs, it is your complete life.”
Li Xiwu frowned, and she seemed to gradually understand the meaning of Jiang Ce's words.
Jiang Ce continued: "Your sorrow happened in country T and ended in country T. That is the cause and end of everything, so everything you see in the dream is destined to be tragedy. From the first time you
In the dream, when you met your father for the last time in country T, all you cared about was everything that happened to you in country T, which also caused your subsequent dreams to be filled with sadness."
These are points that Li Xiwu has always ignored.
She suddenly became enlightened, and the bitter smile on her lips turned into relief: "Since I have been thinking about those past events intermittently, I have always felt that the first twenty years of my life were miserable, but in fact, only that year was a hurdle that I couldn't get over.
, From then on, it became a gap that I could not cross. I never thought about my life before that year..."
Jiang Ce was pleased: "Yes, your understanding is correct."
Li Xiwu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ce: "Dr. Jiang, do you have anything else to ask?"
"I've roughly understood everything." Jiang Ce said, raising his hand to look at his watch: "It's exactly twelve o'clock, I'll make a reservation for the restaurant first."
Li Xiwu responded: "Okay."
After coming out of the coffee shop, Li Xiwu learned that Jiang Ce had come by taxi, so she invited Jiang Ce to take her car.
Jiang Ce did not refuse and got into the car with Li Xiwu.
Jiang Ce was fastening his seat belt, and Li Xiwu adjusted her route and prepared to drive, with her hands on the steering wheel, when she noticed a familiar vehicle appearing in the rearview mirror.
Convinced that she had read it correctly, she turned to Jiang Ce and said, "You can drive my car."
Jiang Ce was a little surprised.
But I soon understood the reason, because Li Xiwu said: "I'll take the car at the back."
Jiang Ce couldn't see the car behind him in the rearview mirror on his right, but he guessed who it was. He unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Okay, I'll drive."
Li Xiwu opened the door and got out of the car.
Jiang Ce walked around the front of the car to her side, got into the cab, closed the door, and said to Li Xiwu, "Mrs. Pei, I'll wait for you and Mr. Pei in the restaurant."
Li Xiwu nodded: "Okay."
The car drove away, and Li Xiwu turned around and walked to the car behind.
When Chen Xin saw this, he got out of the car immediately and opened the door for Li Xiwu: "Mrs."
Li Xiwu said thank you, then bent down and got into the car.
Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways and whispered, "You can pretend you didn't see me."
Li Xiwu curled her lips: "If it's so obvious and you don't see it, you won't have to be nagged by Mr. Pei for two or three days when you go back?"
Her tone was brisk, her brows and eyes were bright, and she could tell she was in a good mood.
Pei Jingzhou asked softly: "Do I seem like a nagging person?"
Li Xiwu took the initiative to hold his arm: "That's hard to say."
Pei Jingzhou covered her hand with his palm and held it gently: "Where are you going?"
"Oh, right." Li Xiwu almost forgot to give Chen Xin his address, otherwise Jiang Ce would have to wait too long.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at the address Jiang Ce sent her, and then reported it to Chen Xin.
After Chen Xin received it, he adjusted the navigation and set off.
Along the way, Li Xiwu had a lot to say to Pei Jingzhou, including what she had talked about with Jiang Ce in the coffee shop, and some of her own thoughts.
Pei Jingzhou could clearly feel some changes after the conversation between Li Xiwu and Jiang Ce.
This is probably enlightenment in a sense.
After being enlightened by Jiang Ce, Li Xiwu opened up all her worries. Those meaningful conversations made her understand many things that she had previously ignored.
The car arrived at the restaurant Jiang Ce had booked.
Chen Xin parked on the side of the road and had no intention of parking in the parking lot.
Li Xiwu saw this and turned to look at Pei Jingzhou: "Aren't you going to have dinner with me?"
Pei Jingzhou shook his head.
Li Xiwu pursed his lips: "You asked Dr. Jiang to contact me. After the meeting, I talked to him alone. On the way here just now, you just listened to me and didn't ask me anything."
Pei Jingzhou pulled her closer: "So what do you want to express?"
