Stealing the moonlight into my arms

A day passed, and when Xiao Jingting finished his work, it was already approaching evening.

When he was free, Chu Yi dared to express his doubts: "Boss Xiao, should we postpone tomorrow morning's regular meeting?"

Chu Yi has not been with Xiao Jingting for too long, but in the past two or three years, President Xiao has been very serious and strict in his work, and it is rare to see him like this.

When Xiao Jingting heard Chu Yi ask this, his face remained calm, but he began to feel irritated.

"No, I'll try to be on time."

He used the word "try his best" instead of "must".

"Okay." Chu Yi agreed.

Xiao Jingting sat alone in the office, opened the software on his mobile phone, and accessed the surveillance equipment outside the Fu family villa.

The time displayed is morning.

He drove the car to Fu Runing's house, parked it in the yard, and then took a box out from the back seat.

As Fu Runing said, he came to her house and gave the cat to her.

Afterwards, the two of them stood outside the yard, talking about something, and then walked into the house together.

Xiao Jingting watched this video over and over again, frowning slightly. He was wondering what the two of them were talking about at that time?

There was no quarrel, it looked like a normal chat.

There is no surveillance at home, so I don’t know what happened afterwards.

Xiao Jingting thought that one or two times might just be accidents, but this was the third time.

This kind of dissociation occurred twice within 24 hours, which made him unable to ignore it.

He called a psychiatric clinic.

After confirming the time, he hung up the phone.

As if reacting subconsciously, he opened the chat box with Fu Runing. Their last conversation was before their divorce. She told him that the pineapple egg tarts at home were delicious, asked him where he bought them, and said she would bring them back for her family to try.

He replied to her that he would bring it back next time.

But who knew, there would be no next time.

Not knowing what emotion was driving him, Xiao Jingting casually clicked on Fu Runing's circle of friends, and saw that she had posted a few photos in her latest update.

He clicked on the picture, which showed three wooden sculptures in the shape of kittens. They were beautifully carved and looked simple and adorable.

Especially the last photo, she put three kittens and three wood sculptures together and took a photo together. The photo is funny and vivid.

Just like her life, vivid and colorful.

Xiao Jingting once again felt the urge to delete her contact information.

He suppressed the restless dark emotions and placed his phone upside down on the table.

He seemed to hear that person's voice again in his ears——

"If I were you, I would just grab it."

Xiao Jingting's chest heaved as he tried to calm his emotions. He looked at the sky outside with deep eyes, and his pupils gradually darkened.

He couldn't control himself during his dissociative attack and kept looking for Fu Runing.

He thought to himself with self-mockery that this was all he was capable of.

……

Xiao Jingting did not choose a Grade A hospital because there was a possibility that he would be discovered.

He walked into a psychiatric clinic.

The environment of the clinic is mainly decorated in soft colors, and the environment is comfortable, making it hard to tell that it is a psychological clinic.

The primary therapist is a psychology professor in his forties or fifties.

After the detailed questioning, time seemed to stretch on forever.

Xiao Jingting watched the hourglass in front of him as time passed by little by little, and there was extreme silence in his ears.

When he regained consciousness, the sand in the upper half of the hourglass was completely empty.

Meanwhile, the therapist had several more sheets of paper filled with writing.

Xiao Jingting looked a little confused. He felt as if he had slept for a long time, but also as if he had not slept at all.

The therapist turned the hourglass over, the sand fell down little by little, and time began to flow again.

The therapist put down the pen and said, "Deep down in your heart, you don't seem to reject your other self. You don't show any strong desire to expel this personality. Are you envious of him? Do you envy his freedom and unconstrainedness?"

"He doesn't carry the worldly pressures that you do, so he'll naturally do what you want but dare not do without restraint."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingting subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute.

But the funny thing is that he seemed unable to refute it, and in the end he just laughed at himself, as if he was laughing at his own incompetence.

"Don't rush to refute me. He's also a part of you. There's no need to completely deny the meaning of his existence. Besides, he's been around for a long time, which means you two can coexist."

"You haven't had this happen in the last three years. That's the crux of the matter. You have a key that is also a lock."

Key, lock...

Xiao Jingting frowned slightly when he heard this.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he seemed to vaguely know what the key and lock were.

The therapist continued, "What makes us human is that we aren't programmed. Everyone's brain is wired differently, their past experiences are different, and their inner worlds are all unique. It's human nature to have desires, and we can't blindly suppress them. But we can't let desires take over either. You can save yourself."

The therapist gathered the papers on the table and folded them neatly.

He picked up a pen and wrote two words on the top piece of paper, then pushed it in front of Xiao Jingting.

Two lines were drawn under the two words, clearly marking the key words.

【moon】

Xiao Jingting stared at these two words and pondered for a long time.

Although it was a concrete word, what emerged in his mind was a figure that illuminated the long dark night he had experienced.
