It's not too late to meet in the book

Sunlight filtered through the half-drawn curtains of the treatment room, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of warmth to the somewhat heavy space. The interior was remarkably cozy, with several paintings depicting natural scenery hanging on the pale blue walls, evoking a sense of tranquility and tranquility. The soft sofa, cozy pillows, and a pot of lavender in the corner, each contributing to a relaxing atmosphere. Yet, despite this apparent harmony, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's eyes were filled with wariness and unease.

"Children, welcome here." The doctor stood at the door with a smile. His voice was gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate the haze in the children's hearts. "I am your therapist, my name is Uncle Li. This is a safe place. You can express your feelings here without fear."

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan hugged each other tightly, their faces filled with tension and fear. Seeing this, the doctor gently walked over to them, squatted down, and looked at them with equal eyes. "I know you may be a little scared, but please believe me, I will help you. We can start with something simple, like listening to some music to relax your body."

As he spoke, the doctor walked to a corner of the room and gently pressed a button on the music player. A gentle melody slowly flowed out, a song about tranquility and hope, the melodious melody seemed to heal the scars in one's heart.

"Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine that you are standing in a beautiful sea of ​​flowers, with the sun shining on you, making you feel warm." The doctor's voice was like a spring breeze, gentle and powerful.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, but finally closed their eyes as instructed by the doctor. Their faces gradually relaxed, and their breathing became much smoother. The music seemed to have a magical power, temporarily dispelling the fear and anxiety in their hearts.

"Now, I would like to ask you to imagine the happiest day you have spent at school. What did you do that day? Who were you with? How did you feel?" The doctor continued to guide, his voice full of patience and care.

A picture emerged in Lei Xiaoyue's mind: she was running and playing with her classmates on the school playground, the sun shining on them, and laughter echoing in the air. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I... I was having fun playing on the playground with my classmates." Lei Xiaoyue's voice was a little trembling, but there was a gleam in her eyes, which was a yearning for a better life.

Lin Yuxuan recalled the time he played basketball with his father. His father's smile, words of encouragement, and the crisp sound of the basketball going into the basket all made him feel extremely happy. A long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"I was playing basketball with my dad, and he praised me for making a good shot." Although Lin Yuxuan's voice was not loud, it was full of pride and joy.

Seeing this, the doctor felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew this was just the beginning, but the children had already taken an important step. He gently patted the children on the shoulders and said, "Very good, you've done a great job. Now, I'd like you to use your paintbrushes and paint what you're feeling. Whatever it is, it's fine."

As he spoke, the doctor took out a box of painting tools from the drawer and placed it in front of the children. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the paintbrush.

Lei Xiaoyue gently sketched a dark abyss on paper, representing the fear and helplessness she felt over that horrific experience. However, at the edge of the abyss, she drew a small image of herself. Though her face was filled with fear, her eyes gleamed with an unyielding spirit. She knew she couldn't remain trapped here forever; she had to fight her way out.

Lin Yuxuan drew a tangled web of chaotic lines, interwoven into a complex web. This represented his inner turmoil and confusion. However, within the gaps between these lines, he secretly drew a few rays of light, representing his hope and vision for the future.

The doctor looked at the children's paintings quietly, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that these paintings were not only a reflection of the children's inner thoughts, but also their efforts and struggles to overcome their fears.

"Children, you draw very well," the doctor said gently, his eyes full of admiration and encouragement. "These drawings show me your inner courage and strength. Please believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and overcome them together."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan raised their heads and looked at the doctor with resolute eyes. Their eyes gleamed with hope and confidence for the future. They knew that from this moment on, they were no longer alone, because someone was willing to listen to them, understand their feelings, and accompany them through this difficult time.

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan said in unison. Although their voices were childish, they were full of gratitude and trust.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do," the doctor said with a smile, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction. From that moment on, a bridge of trust had been built between him and the children, a bridge that would lead them to a brighter future...
