Campus Alliance-Never Fall North Star

Ren Qifeng invited Lan Yi to meet in a private room of the coffee shop. The coffee beans in the glass jar shone in the sunlight, but could not dispel the depression between the two.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)." Lan Yi's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and the ash fell on the tablecloth printed with latte art. "Her flashback symptoms are very typical, and cognitive behavioral therapy must be involved."

Ren Qifeng looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling guilty: "It's my fault that I didn't protect her well..."

"This is not your fault." Lan Yi patted his shoulder. "The important thing is that you have to face it together now. The doctor will make arrangements for you. Don't be too deliberate. Take your time!"

……

By the eighth week of psychotherapy, Shen Jiaqi finally no longer felt bitter when eating sweets.

This was an important breakthrough, meaning that some kind of repression deep in her heart was gradually dissipating.

Ren Qifeng sat opposite her and looked at her quietly.

He noticed that Shen Jiaqi scooped up a piece of chocolate cake with a silver fork and carefully put it into her mouth. When the cream melted on the tip of her tongue, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a satisfied look.

At that moment, Ren Qifeng saw fine icing sugar on her eyelashes, making her look like a butterfly that had just spread its wings again, light and beautiful.

"Try it! It's so sweet!" Shen Jiaqi suddenly shouted excitedly. She handed the cake to Ren Qifeng's mouth, with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Ren Qifeng smiled slightly and took a bite obediently.

Sure enough, very sweet!

Shen Jiaqi looked at Ren Qifeng's reaction, and the smile on her face became even brighter. She seemed very happy that she could taste the sweetness, and this simple happiness made her whole body exude a relaxed atmosphere.

After eating the cake, Shen Jiaqi stood up and walked to the bathroom door to wait for Ren Qifeng.

While waiting, she felt a little bored and started walking around.

The tiles at the bathroom door were as smooth as a mirror, reflecting her figure clearly. Her reflection swayed on the tiles, swaying slightly with her steps.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a voice in Shen Jiaqi's mind calling her, guiding her to the railing.

Her heartbeat unconsciously quickened, and her throat became a little dry.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow the voice's guidance and walked slowly to the railing step by step.

Standing under the railing of the shopping mall on the fifth floor, Shen Jiaqi looked down at the ground below.

At first, she only saw the bustling crowds and colorful shop signs. But gradually, her vision began to blur and the surrounding scene became distorted.

Red bloodstains spread from nowhere and gradually occupied her entire field of vision.

Shen Jiaqi stared at the ground on the first floor, holding the railing tightly with both hands, his breathing became rapid, and even his body was shaking slightly, as if he was struggling intensely in his heart.

She was thinking: If I jump from here, will I die?

If I jump from here, will it be very painful?

in case……

When Ren Qifeng rushed over, her knuckles had already turned white from clenching the railing, and the blurry crowd on the first floor was reflected in her pupils, just like the swinging shadowless light outside the emergency room.

"I saw some scenes, or rather pictures, all bright red..." Shen Jiaqi's voice echoed on the benches in the mall's rest area, as if carrying a hint of fear and confusion.

Her body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to have not yet recovered from the horrific scene.

Ren Qifeng sat quietly beside her, listening to her story with a frown on his face.

He reached out and gently wiped the chocolate stains from the corners of her mouth, but accidentally discovered the new bite marks hidden on her sleeves. Those were the new marks she left in the closet when he was asleep last night. It was obvious that she had experienced another painful struggle.

As if she felt Ren Qifeng's gaze, Shen Jiaqi shrank her body and buried herself deeper in his arms. Her voice was muffled and trembling a little: "I dare not tell you..."

Ren Qifeng hugged her tightly and comforted her softly: "It's okay, you can tell me, I will always be by your side."

Shen Jiaqi was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to continue: "When they cut the baby out, I can still feel it... the pain was like my body was torn apart... I still remember Soma's appearance, she was so small, so fragile... I still remember the faces of those boundless people in the alliance, they were so indifferent, so ruthless... Those children in the dungeon, their eyes were full of fear and despair... I still remember Zhao Junye, his eyes seemed to want to devour me... And Chenghuan, Haichen, Junhao... I remember every one of them..."

Her words flowed out of her mouth like a flood, and every word was filled with endless pain and sorrow.

Ren Qifeng listened quietly, his heart filled with heartache for Shen Jiaqi and resentment towards those people.

“Those images are filled with blood, and every day they seem to want to take over my body and tear at my head… I can’t control it…” Shen Jiaqi’s voice became lower and lower, almost turning into a whisper.

Her body trembled in Ren Qifeng's arms, as if she would collapse at any time.

"I don't have the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with you now; I don't have the physical strength to go to the front line. I can't be myself now... When I stand on a high place, I can't help but imagine the scene of myself falling down! When I picked up the kitchen knife, I actually saw myself cutting my wrists in my mind! Even when I pass by the road, I wonder when I will be hit by a car and die! When I was pregnant, I was full of hope that my child could live safely, but it seems that I have lived enough and don't want to continue living in such pain..."

Every word of Shen Jiaqi was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Ren Qifeng's heart.

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of crying, as if these words had been accumulated in her heart for a long time and finally found an outlet.

Ren Qifeng listened quietly, he could feel the despair and helplessness in her heart.

Her voice was filled with tears, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally found an outlet and poured out like a flood. She recounted the pain she had endured during this period of time, and every word was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting Ren Qifeng's heart.

Ren Qifeng listened to her crying quietly, feeling a pain in his heart as if it was torn apart.

He could feel her helplessness and despair, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He could only call her name softly, hoping to give her some strength and courage.

"Jia Qi, I'm here! Look at me, I'm by your side, can't you feel it?" His voice was gentle and firm, like a bright light in the darkness, illuminating the haze in Jia Qi's heart.

Hearing his call, Shen Jiaqi's body trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred by tears, but she could still see Ren Qifeng's concerned gaze.

Ren Qifeng held her tightly in his arms with heartache, feeling her body trembling. His arms became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and protect her from any more harm.

He secretly swore in his heart that from today on, he would love her well and never let her suffer any grievances or pain again.

He wanted to use his love to warm her wounded heart.

"Feel me well!" Ren Qifeng did not give Shen Jiaqi another chance to speak. He gently held her face and kissed her lips tenderly.

This kiss was filled with endless love and tenderness. He hoped that through this kiss, she would forget all her worries and pains and only remember the warmth and happiness of this moment.

Ren Qifeng kissed her very seriously, kissing and biting her lips with his eyes closed, then he took her hand and gently placed it on his waist, and then he hugged her back tightly.
