walk across the bridge of fog

28.

He Ren, who usually doesn't like to dress up very much, put a lot of thought into his clothes today.A navy blue vest was added over the white shirt.He Ren didn't wear the jeans he was used to, but a pair of navy blue slim-fit pants and a delicate light brown thin belt.I wore new moccasins on my feet.Compared with the usual casualness, it is more gentle and attentive.Moreover, He Ren also changed his hairstyle and dyed his hair.The whole person is refreshed.

Duanmu looked at He Ren with admiration, "You look good today."

"Do you like my outfit better today?" He Ren asked directly.

"I also like your casual and relaxed dress before."

"Then why do you think I look particularly good today?" He Ren's tone was not challenging, but more intimate and comfortable.

"It's not the clothes themselves that give me the impression, but the feelings behind your clothes. You pay more attention to others. That is, as you once said, the audience you care about. You realize that there are audiences in your life , and you are willing to present a better version of yourself to your audience..."

At first, Duanmu expressed her point of view on a case-by-case basis, but when she came to this point, she suddenly realized the possible ambiguity behind this sentence.So she closed her mouth vigilantly, and she saw the gleam in He Ren's eyes.

Duanmu wanted to end this dangerous topic as soon as possible, "Okay, let's continue the unfinished discussion last time..."

"I call today's outfit a peacock outfit." He Ren obviously didn't cooperate, she was eager to hear Duanmu praise herself.

Duanmu just mentioned the audience, this statement is very accurate.Duanmuqian is He Ren's target audience, and He Ren wants to please her.Exactly!

"Of course, I'm not saying the style is like a peacock, I'm talking about the intention. Before I came here, I went to drink a cup of coffee."

He Ren's desire to speak is very strong.

Duanmu had to listen, feeling uneasy.She realized that she might have fallen into He Ren's "trap" from the very beginning.

He Ren went on to say, "I received more attention than usual. Probably because of this peacock suit. You know, when I usually wear it like a dead tree branch, sitting in a cafe is like a transparent person." The same, it is a kind of 'non-existence', no different from a table and a chair."

"It may also be because you observe others today, so you find that others are paying attention to you. The 'non-existence' you thought you used to be is more likely to be caused by you turning a blind eye to others. You will not know a person you cannot see What do people pay attention to." Duanmu deliberately denied He Ren's point of view, she didn't want to continue this topic.She wanted to be vague about what she accidentally said wrongly just now.

"Doctor Duanmu, don't forget, I am a writer, and I am always observing. Even if I am not interested, I will observe."

"I will never forget that you are a writer, and I am still looking forward to your new works."

He Ren laughed, smiling brightly. "The audience I am most looking forward to is Dr. Duanmu, whether it is my peacock costume or my future new works. The eyes in those cafes are just a test, I don't care about their eyes, I don't care at all. When I am a dead tree People who never pay attention to me at all times, I will never open my screen for them."

Duanmu felt as if he was trapped more deeply.She changed her posture anxiously, and the center of gravity of her body, which was slightly leaning towards He Ren, changed, and she naturally distanced herself from He Ren.

Many patients often fall into two states during the diagnosis and treatment process: inaction and overreaction.After so long of inaction, He Ren seems ready to overreact today.

Duanmu anxiously refused to answer, and let He Ren go on talking on his own.

He Ren's thinking is very detached, talking about his writing for a while, talking about his embarrassing social interaction for a while, and talking about his feelings in a church for a while, it seems that he has also become interested in religion.

Although the topic jumps around, in Duanmu's view, He Ren is only doing one thing from beginning to end, which is to please Duanmu.

The unexpected situation is worrying.Duanmuqian's head began to feel dull pain.

Duanmuqian always avoids empathy from patients in diagnosis and treatment.Some psychiatrists are skilled at exploiting their patients' empathy, and some even relish it.But Duanmu didn't like it, so he tried to avoid it.She did not want to get involved in any emotional entanglement with the patient.

The coffee I drank before the treatment seemed to be clumped, which made my stomach ache.Duanmu Qian secretly glanced at his watch.Time flies so slowly, there are still 10 minutes.I can't say anything decent.She couldn't respond to He Ren's flattering words.

He Ren keenly captured Duanmu's movement of peeking at his watch, she was taken aback for a moment, but she chose to ignore this movement.

"Dr. Duanmu, you told me last time that things always have choices. This point of view is very good, and now I can make more positive choices."

Normally, Duanmu Qian would ask He Ren to give examples of positive choices he made, but now Duanmu is hesitant to ask questions.

He Ren observed Duanmu and found it difficult to interpret the expression on Duanmu's face today.

Duanmu changed his sitting posture again, and his body's center of gravity shifted further away from He Ren.

"He Ren, I am very pleased to see your performance today." Duanmu began to use hypocritical routines, but she couldn't think of a better way for a while. "I think maybe I should give you a suggestion. You can appropriately reduce the frequency of diagnosis and treatment. After all, such diagnosis and treatment are expensive. And your progress is very obvious, so there is no need to continue to come to diagnosis and treatment so frequently."

He Ren was completely dumbfounded, this was a reaction she did not expect, let alone Duanmu would make such a suggestion.She's not going to take this bullshit suggestion anyway.

"Is this why you are restless today? Is this why you have been secretly checking the time? You are going to abandon me!" He Ren's joy was swept away, and he began to attack Duanmuqian in anger.
