The new job is fulfilling and interesting, and Gu Nianxi has changed completely. Every day when she goes to work, she carefully chooses clothes, puts on exquisite makeup, and stands in front of the floor-length mirror wearing high heels. She seems to have regained her former self.
He Jianchen said that she and Lin Wei were very similar a few years ago, and both of them had a confident and independent temperament.
After a month, Gu Nianxi got along very well with her work partners and got to know them better.
The boss, Lin Wei, is a very thoughtful woman. She works resolutely and speaks decisively and straightforwardly. She never beats around the bush with others. She can speak straightforwardly about anything and there will be no misunderstandings.
Gu Nianxi's gentle personality and Lin Wei's fierce personality seemed to complement each other. After they got to know each other, they became good friends.
Xiaoyun at the front desk is a lively and cute girl with fair skin and rosy cheeks. When she smiles, she has two bulging apple muscles on her face, which is very attractive.
Xiaoyun has a sweet mouth. Every day when Gu Nianxi steps into the clinic door, she can hear Xiaoyun's praises.
"Wow! Doctor Gu, your dress is so beautiful!"
"Dr. Gu, the necklace around your neck is so unique."
"Dr. Gu, you look so beautiful today!"
These compliments put Gu Nianxi in a good mood every day and made her more and more confident.
In fact, Xiaoyun is also a medical school graduate, but she majored in ophthalmology, so her current job is not suitable. The reason why she applied for the front desk job is because she is very interested in psychology, so she wants to come to the clinic to study with Lin Wei
study.
Ever since He Xiaoyun found out that Gu Nianxi had a PhD in psychology, he had become her crazy little crush. He often brought snacks and coffee to Gu Nianxi, and would also give her small handmade gifts.
In order to thank her for her love, Gu Nianxi was not stingy. He took the time to help her sort out psychology books and encouraged her to take the postgraduate entrance examination in psychology. He Xiaoyun was so excited that he became Gu Nianxi's teacher and often called her master in private.
He Xiaoyun usually loves to read some psychology books and movies. The American TV series "Psychological Crime" was the enlightenment for her to fall in love with psychology. She often reads at the front desk during her lunch break. Sometimes Gu Nianxi and Sister Fang will chat with her when they pass by.
A few lines of the story excited her so much.
In He Xiaoyun's heart, psychiatrist is a very good profession.
One day, He Xiaoyun ran into the office and asked Gu Nianxi and Sister Fang mysteriously, "Have you ever come across a case of split personality? Just like the patients in the movie "Deadly ID"."
After hearing this, Sister Fang and Gu Nianxi looked at each other and smiled. They pretended to think for a long time, deliberately trying to offend him, and finally they gave her a unified answer.
"I'm sorry, as a psychiatrist, we must protect the privacy of every patient, and we must strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality."
Xiaoyun was stunned after hearing this and gave them a thumbs up, "That's so cool!"
Later, in order to satisfy her, the kind-hearted Gu Nianxi bought her several books related to split personality and gave them to her.
"Don't study psychology. People who study psychology can treat others but cannot cure their own illnesses."
This sentence was what Sister Fang said to Xiaoyun. When Gu Nianxi heard her say this, she knew that she was a person with stories.
Sister Fang is forty years old this year. She is quite good-looking, but she looks old-fashioned in what she wears. She likes to wear dark-colored professional attire every day, and when paired with black-rimmed glasses, she gives a very stereotyped look.
Sister Fang once worked as a psychological counseling teacher in a college, but later resigned due to her husband's job transfer. She said that she came back from a different place at the beginning of the year, and it happened that Lin Wei asked her teacher to recruit, and she was recommended here.
Colleagues have been working together for a long time, and getting along with each other is particularly important. When meeting Sister Fang for the first time, her seriousness and unsmiling attitude made Gu Nianxi a little worried, fearing that she would be difficult to get along with. After all, she and Sister Fang were in the same office and could not be contacted.
A few days later, Gu Nianxi discovered that Sister Fang was not as rigid as the first time they met. She had another side to her sister next door.
Every day before eating, she would silently set the dishes and chopsticks for everyone, and carefully pour them glasses of water and put them on their seats. Every morning when Gu Nianxi entered the office, there would be hot coffee on her desk.
Every day after get off work, Sister Fang would be the last one to leave.
She gave Gu Nianxi the feeling that she didn't like going home.
One day after get off work, Gu Nianxi took the initiative to organize a dinner party. Lin Wei said she had work to attend to but she did not attend.
That day, Gu Nianxi, Sister Fang, and Xiaoyun found a place to gather together.
During the meal, everyone chatted for a while. After drinking a bottle of wine, perhaps they were emboldened by the drink, and the three of them actually confided their thoughts to each other without reservation.
"It's funny to say that psychiatrists hear a lot about other people's worries and secrets, but they rarely tell others about their own worries. Let Xiaoyun be our psychiatrist today." Gu Nianxi said with a smile.
"Ah? I'm not as capable as you!" Xiaoyun quickly refused, "I'll just listen, I can't cure heart disease."
Gu Nianxi and Sister Fang burst out laughing. They looked at each other, and Sister Fang volunteered to raise her hand.
"Let me tell you first."
Next, Sister Fang told her story, which was a bit sad at the beginning.
Sister Fang ended her sixteen-year marriage half a year ago. The reason for the divorce was that her husband cheated on her. When Sister Fang was in her twenties, she gave up her parents and career in S city for her dear lover and ran to another place with him.
Living in a city, her ex-husband started a business and she worked as a psychology teacher in college.
The two people who were supposed to be happy had a very painful conflict. They had been married for ten years and had no children. The problem was Sister Fang.
At the end of last year, Sister Fang found out that he was having an affair with someone else. What was even more disgusting was that he had given birth to a son to her ex-husband abroad.
Her ex-husband fell in love with another woman. In order to protect her self-esteem, Sister Fang took the initiative to file for divorce and quit the triangle relationship.
"He hugged me and said he didn't want a divorce. He said he just wanted a child of his own. I don't blame him. I'm not qualified to criticize him. I didn't cry or make a fuss when I left, and I didn't take any money.
I really didn’t want to think that in the end, the sixteen years I had devoted would be stained. I didn’t expect that our children would be our biggest obstacle.”
Sister Fang told her story in an understatement, but Gu Nianxi and the others felt particularly uncomfortable listening to it.
How desperate can a woman be to laugh at her past like this?
Xiaoyun is an emotionally susceptible person and started crying when she heard what Sister Fang said. It is said that some public service announcements can make her burst into tears.
Xiaoyun's story is simple. She is from this city and has a boyfriend who is a college classmate with her. The story between the two of them is very sweet. The boy is a top student and she is a bad student. Xiaoyun secretly has a crush on the boy. After confessing her love, the boy asked her if
If you get into the same university as me, I will fall in love with you.
The love-minded Xiaoyun started to work hard and study hard in her second year of high school. After unremitting efforts and the stimulation of her top male idol, she succeeded in the college entrance examination and entered the university together with her male idol, who later became her boyfriend.
Now the boy has gone to Guangzhou to study as a graduate student, and the two have maintained a long-distance relationship.
Afterwards, Gu Nianxi also told them what was on her mind. She told them about the car accident and her current problems.
"My boyfriend and I love each other very much, but...I sometimes act distant from him. I just don't know how to get close to him. I'm afraid that there is something wrong with me." Gu Nianxi said with a frown, "He is really good to me.
,I like him too."
Gu Nianxi knew that they might have opinions about her after hearing what she said, but she felt that after she said it, she was really relieved, as if a big stone had been let go.
Sister Fang is a professional psychiatrist after all. She just looked at Gu Nianxi intently and listened to what she said before answering, "You are not my patient, and I can't talk to you in a professional way. I suggest you talk to Lin
Wei."
Gu Nianxi also agreed with what Sister Fang said, but feelings are like seeds, even if they don't sprout, they will take root.
She was just weird towards He Jianchen.
The three of them chatted until very late. Gu Nianxi, Xiaoyun and Sister Fang finally took a taxi and left the clinic.
………………
Three months passed quickly. Gu Nianxi had adapted to the profession of a psychiatrist. Her life was becoming more and more normal, and her relationship with He Jianchen was also stable.
The two of them were busy at their respective posts.
In the dim psychological consultation room, a tired body sank into the soft fabric sofa. Gu Nianxi stared at the ceiling, her eyes full of confusion and fear. Her long eyelashes trembled a few times and she slowly closed her eyes.
A few minutes later, the door to the consulting room was pushed open, and Gu Nianxi looked in the direction of the door alertly.
"You go to work early in the morning and you just lie here?"
Her boss, Lin Wei, walked towards her with coffee, the high heels on her feet making a clicking sound.
"Get up quickly."
Gu Nianxi straightened her legs and adjusted her body to the most comfortable position. Her red lips opened and closed. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to express her feelings. She turned her face to look at Lin Wei who was standing next to her.
, the dark and bright eyes are full of frustration.
"Lin Wei, I'm sure someone is watching me."
Lin Wei looked stunned, "What's wrong?"
Gu Nianxi recalled what happened in the morning and felt lingering fear.
Normally when she goes to work, Gu Nianxi will definitely leave the house before 7:30. Because the Jingxin Clinic where she works is halfway up Jinshan Mountain and is located in a remote area, she usually takes a taxi.
Today, Gu Nianxi got up extremely early and left the house before seven o'clock. She chose to take the subway to go to work.
This period is during the rush hours for work and school. There are many people on the subway. Some office workers stand or sit dullly, some look at their mobile phones with expressionless faces, some close their eyes to relax, and some students have dark circles under their eyes.
He was in a daze, looking like he was lacking sleep.
Gu Nianxi stood near the door, unable to move due to being squeezed. She was holding her cell phone and complaining to He Jianchen.
——I really regret taking the subway today. I was almost squeezed into a meat pie.
Gu Nianxi sent the message, and within two seconds, she received a reply from He Jianchen.
——Get off at the next stop and take a taxi to the clinic. Be careful of the subway se:'la:ng.
Gu Nianxi smiled after reading the message. In her opinion, He Jianchen's worries were unnecessary. How could she be so unlucky? It was rare to encounter him just once on the subway.
When the subway stopped, a group of people squeezed out, and a group of people rushed in. Gu Nianxi was squeezed and spun around in circles like a top. She was trapped in the doorway, unable to move.
A tall man stood beside her, blocking her way in.
"Please...give me a moment."
The man didn't seem to hear her words and continued to stand there with his chin raised.
He was wearing a loose black coat, and his face was covered by a black mask and a peaked cap. His appearance was the standard look of a cold-blooded killer in movies. Gu Nianxi was a little afraid to talk to him, so she endured it and continued to stand at the door.
