She suddenly felt like her major was a perfect match, and knowing who the other person was actually made her less afraid.

only……

She glanced at the man in front of her. If she told him what she was thinking, would he believe her? Would he just assume she was mentally unstable and send her to their hospital?

After thinking for a moment, Geng Miaowan decided not to say anything for now.

So she took another bite of her apple and asked calmly, "How do you plan to proceed with the treatment?"

Peng Yuxian said a lot, including a lot of technical terms, which she didn't quite understand. The gist of it was that while taking medication, he would be guided mentally to gradually come out of his fantasy world.

There were so many medicines she'd never even heard of before. If she actually took them, she might get sick even without medication. Geng Miaowan couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if she should tell him about her discovery.

Fortunately, he added at the end, "If treatment is to be carried out, his parents' consent is required, because many things require their cooperation to be implemented."

Geng Miaowan breathed a sigh of relief.

Peng Yuxian didn't notice her unusual behavior because he quickly returned to writing Lu Shuaishuai's treatment plan. Seeing that Lu Shuaishuai wasn't in immediate danger of being harmed, Geng Miaowan swallowed her words again.

So, for the next few days, Geng Miaowan spent almost every spare moment with Lu Shuaishuai every night, playing games with him. Xiaoming didn't come every day, but whenever Lu Shuaishuai told her that Xiaoming was there, she would let him join the game.

Although she couldn't see anything, Lu Shuaishuai would tell her what he was doing and what he wanted her to do.

After dinner, Geng Miaowan found a jigsaw puzzle and placed it on the living room table. She and Lu Shuaishuai waited for Xiaoming to arrive, as Xiaoming had told her yesterday he wanted to play with a jigsaw puzzle today. Peng Yuxian, on the other hand, remained in the living room, handling matters at his psychological clinic while also observing Lu Shuaishuai's behavior.

But Xiaoming still hadn't arrived by 8 o'clock, so Geng Miaowan asked Lu Shuaishuai, "Has Xiaoming arrived yet?"

Lu Shuaishuai shook his head. Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he looked towards the door. "Xiao Ming is here!"

“Let’s start playing then,” Geng Miaowan said, reaching for the puzzle pieces, but Lu Shuaishuai spoke up again, “But Xiaoming is too scared to come in.”

Afraid to come in?

Geng Miaowan then remembered that Peng Yuxian was also in the living room besides them. She originally wanted to ask him to go out for a moment, but then she thought that the chances of him listening to her were almost zero.

So she picked up the puzzle and said to Lu Shuaishuai, "Let's go play in your room."

"Ah."

The two walked towards the living room door together, but Peng Yuxian stopped them.

"Geng Miaowan!"

Geng Miaowan turned to look at him, and seeing that he seemed to have something to say, she handed the puzzle to Lu Shuaishuai, "Take the puzzle and go play in the room with Xiaoming for a while. I'll come find you after I finish talking to my uncle."

Soon, only Geng Miaowan and Peng Yuxian remained in the living room.

Peng Yuxian looked very angry. As soon as Lu Shuaishuai left the living room, he questioned her, "Geng Miaowan, do you even know what you're doing?"

Geng Miaowan was taken aback, wondering where his sudden anger came from. How could she not know what she was doing? "Of course I know."

"You know? You know and you still go along with his nonsense! Do you know that what you're doing will only make him sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself!" His tone suddenly rose, startling Geng Miaowan.

He had never been so furious before, not even when she had clung to him desperately.

She glanced towards Lu Shuaishuai's room, then turned back and closed the living room door. Only then did she approach Peng Yuxian and whisper, "Why are you suddenly so angry?"

"You have the nerve to ask me why I'm angry?" Peng Yuxian retorted, his eyes sharp as he stared at her. "I also want to ask you what exactly you're doing!!"

"I'm with Lu Shuaishuai and Xiaoming..." She didn't finish her sentence because Peng Yuxian interrupted her.

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!! Are you also suffering from delusions?"

Looking at Peng Yuxian in front of her, Geng Miaowan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if she were seeing Jiang Lan yelling at Lu Xiaoming in the supermarket that day. Their tone and demeanor were almost identical. She couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"What are you laughing at?" Peng Yuxian thought to himself that he was angry, so what was so funny? However, her charming smile unexpectedly caught his eye and entered his heart.

Her arched eyebrows and her captivating eyes, narrowed into slits with a smile, seemed to possess a magical power that easily dissolved his anger.

"Are you concerned about me?" She looked up, her long eyelashes fluttering, making one want to peek into the wonderful world within her dark pupils.

Peng Yuxian turned his gaze away somewhat awkwardly. "Who cares about you? I'm concerned about my patient."

“Alright then,” Geng Miaowan shrugged, indicating that she didn’t mind his indifference. “Whatever I do is my freedom.”

"But you're affecting my patients."

"How did I affect your patient? Can't you see that he's improving?" she asked. Lu Shuaishuai's behavior at kindergarten these past few days has been exceptionally good. Although he hasn't fully integrated into the group of children yet, he no longer squats alone on the playground and even engages in simple interactions with other children, no longer rejecting their approach.

Even when other children occasionally mention Xiaoming, he no longer shows the obvious unusual emotions he used to. The kindergarten principal and teachers felt it was a miracle, and even Peng Yuxian herself was surprised by her performance, managing to get Lu Shuaishuai to accept and try to open up in such a short time.

So when Geng Miaowan asked him that question, he couldn't think of a way to answer it, because she didn't seem to have the kind of influence he was worried about on Lu Shuaishuai, and Lu Shuaishuai was making progress in a good direction.

but……

“I know you’ve done a good job,” he softened his tone slightly, his eyes still showing disapproval, but his expression was more gentle. “But you shouldn’t indulge his nonsense every night. You need to lead her out of the world with Xiaoming, instead of letting yourself enter it.” (To be continued.)
