Chapter 199 Someone Built a House for Me
After Lin Shi left, the house became much quieter.

Qin Zhao felt a little uncomfortable; she sometimes had to admit that Lin Shi brought more laughter to the house.

But she didn't have that ability.

In the fourth week of medication, she felt hungry, and her dissociation symptoms became more pronounced.

Seeing how carefully Qin Qiong and Lin Zheng treated her, she couldn't help but lose her temper. She questioned them whether they thought she was sick and whether they regretted bringing her back.

After she finished speaking, she began to blame herself.

In the second month, she became angry and told Lin Zheng to sentence those people to death.

Her nightmares decreased, but she became more sensitive and couldn't help but cry.

In the third month, she cut off her hair, which she had been growing for months, making it even shorter than before, and returned to Jiang Ye's original appearance.

She felt a surge of emotion, a chilling yet cruel feeling washing over her.

When she saw Qin Qiong stroking her head while holding back tears, the tension in her heart suddenly eased.

She is Qin Zhao, Zhao Zhao, her mother's name.

She is not Jiang Ye who no one wants.

Her condition gradually improved.

Good times, bad times.

Sometimes she feels that there is nothing wrong with her, and sometimes she doubts whether she can become a normal person.

If she could, why couldn't she take off her corset?
Why would she make those around her suffer along with her?

She came out of the psychologist's office, and Lin Zheng was waiting for her outside.

During this period, Lin Zheng and Qin Qiong would sometimes accompany her for treatment, and sometimes they would take turns.

Lin Zheng stood there, turned around when he heard the noise, and smiled at her: "It's over."

For a moment just now, she suddenly felt that Lin Zheng seemed to have aged.

Lin Zheng pointed at the claw machine and asked her with a smile, "Zhao Zhao, do you want to try your luck?"

Qin Zhao shook his head.

Lin Zheng felt a little awkward thinking about her hairstyle, her unfamiliarity with her identity, and her past experiences.

"I was being inconsiderate," he said with an awkward laugh. "Zhaozhao doesn't like dolls."

Fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Lin Zheng's image in her eyes was different from anyone else's.

He was very dignified, that's all.

Even if he doesn't put on airs, he still exudes the imposing aura of someone who has been in a position of power for many years.

Qin Zhao felt that nothing could stump him, making him trustworthy yet impossible to be presumptuous, naturally giving off a sense of distance.

Once he revealed a vulnerable emotion, a certain concept in Qin Zhao's mind collapsed, and a sense of helplessness and concern arose.

Confusion, speculation... these are all difficult to describe this feeling; she couldn't distinguish what this emotion was exactly.

Her gaze simply lingered on him unconsciously.

Lin Zheng stretched out his hand in the air as if to move forward: "Let's go home."

—Give them more requirements.

Qin Zhao looked at the doll in the glass window and pursed his lips.

She pointed to the round, pufferfish-like plush toy in the claw machine: "Can I have the purple one?"

Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise: "Of course!"

He exchanged the crystal coins, confidently unbuttoned his cufflinks, and folded them up: "The purple ones, right?"

"Ah."

The claws were manipulated to move, swung in the air, and stretched straight towards the dark fish doll.

It failed, by a hair's breadth.

"It's been a long time since we've made any arrests." Lin Zheng smiled. "The last time we made an arrest was many years ago when I was with your mother."

He inserted another coin, stared intently at the doll, and charged straight for the target.

"Oh?"

The claws precisely gripped the dark fish that Qin Zhao had pointed to, holding it firmly, and slowly moved it to the exit, delivering the doll out.

Lin Zheng then smiled and held out his hand to Qin Zhao: "Yay!"

Her expression was cheerful, much like the fathers she saw comforting children when she was a child.

Seeing that she didn't move, Lin Zheng somewhat disappointedly tried to pull his hand back. As he was pulling back, a slightly cool palm pressed against his.

His fingers were long and dry, with only a thin layer of calluses from golf clubs on the inside of his thumbs, and his palms were warm.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyelids slightly and withdrew his hand: "Is that so?"

"Yes! That's right." Lin Zheng's eyes suddenly reddened, his expression a mixture of excitement, emotion, and suppressed emotion. "Zhao Zhao did a great job."

Qin Zhao picked up the fierce-looking dark fish, hugged it to his chest, and whispered, "Thank you, Daddy."

Lin Zheng pressed his eyelids: "No need to thank me, I'm just glad you like it."

He paused for a couple of seconds, then perked up again: "Does Zhaozhao want any other dolls?"

Qin Zhao was silent for two seconds, then hummed in agreement.

Lin Zheng: "Which one do you want?"

Qin Zhao glanced at him: "Either is fine."

About ten minutes later.

Qin Zhao suddenly found himself holding a bunch of dolls.

On the way back, Lin Zheng talked more than usual, and when they got home, he described in detail to Qin Qiong what they had done at the claw machine.

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Really."

She looked at Qin Zhao with a happy expression.

Qin Zhao nodded.

Laughter, a rare occurrence, filled the house.

Qin Zhao looked at their smiles in a daze.

"Then you should make requests to them, and they will be happy."

Lin Shi really knows how to make others happy.

In the sixth month, she began to like snacks and things she had never eaten before.

She liked it when Qin Qiong held her while she slept.

The fierce-looking fish was placed next to her pillow.

……

The verdict was announced in May of the following year.

The legal team collected and compiled criminal evidence against all those involved in the bullying incident.

The perpetrator, being 16 years of age or older, bears full criminal responsibility.

Jiang Yu was convicted of intentional injury, provoking trouble, and insult, and sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay 80,000 yuan in civil damages.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Hao were convicted of intentional injury, provoking trouble, and insult, and were sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay 50,000 yuan in civil damages.

Those who repeatedly participated in school bullying were sentenced to 1-3 years in prison and were required to share compensation according to their proportion of responsibility.

The teacher involved in the incident at No. 1 Middle School was convicted of condoning violence and dereliction of duty, dismissed from public office, and sentenced to 1-3 years in prison. Civil compensation (with the school bearing joint liability) amounted to 150,000 yuan.

Wang Bin (Jiang Yu's mother) was convicted of bribery, abuse of power, and false accusation, and sentenced to nine years in prison, dismissed from public office, and fined 1 million yuan. She was also ordered to pay 500,000 yuan in civil damages.

Jiang Dahai was convicted of abuse, intentional injury, and insult, with an additional year of imprisonment, bringing his total sentence to three years. He was also ordered to pay 200,000 yuan in civil damages.

At that time, her hair had grown to below her ears.

She wanted to kill herself.

In August, she dressed in women's clothing in her room.

In October, accompanied by Qin Qiong, she went out dressed in women's clothing, her hair reaching her shoulders.

……

During a later treatment, Lin Jianwei asked her, "You said before that many people in this world may be sick. But they start to get sick on the day they are diagnosed."

"A confirmed diagnosis is like an umbrella that is suddenly opened. Some people feel sheltered, while others see the shape of the rain clearly for the first time because of the edges of the umbrella."

"Qin Zhao, what about you? What have you seen during your treatment?"

Tiny particles danced in the air as sunlight pierced through.

Qin Zhao lowered her eyelashes: "I felt cold. It turns out my clothes were always damp, and my umbrella was torn. But someone built me ​​a house with lots of clean and warm clothes inside."

"..."
