    Li Zhou walked over strangely, and saw his mother holding Li Wei's arm to show him.

    Like a frightened hamster, Li Wei desperately retracted his arms.

    But Li Zhou still saw it.

    The fruit plate in his hand was not held firmly, so it fell to the ground and shattered.

    However, Li Zhou has no mind to care about it.

    He stepped over the debris all over the floor to Li Wei's body, and forcefully pulled her arm over.

    Looking at the shocking scars on it, was so shocked that was almost speechless.

    "Why did you hurt yourself so much?" Li Zhou asked in disbelief.

    However, Li Wei is like a tightly closed clam, stubbornly guarding its shell, and refuses to say a word.

    This incident finally alarmed everyone in the family, and they accompanied Li Wei to the best hospital under Li's family.

    The doctor measured the scale for her, and it showed that there was a psychological problem.

    So, they helped her make an appointment with the most famous psychological counselor.

    However, Li Wei was still unwilling to cooperate, and forcibly cast himself into an iron wall, resisting the invasion of outsiders alone.

    The psychiatrist is a gentle, middle-aged man, and he is not in a hurry, but just patiently observes her, testing her for possible problems.

    "I've read your profile. You are a very good girl, but goodness always comes at a price. The opposite must be enormous pressure. Is this your way of decompression?"

    As long as her core secrets are not touched, Li Wei will occasionally cooperate.

    So she shook her head.

    "People don't want to hurt themselves for no reason. They must be under great pain to use physical pain to divert psychological and spiritual pain."

    Li Weiwen fell silent.

    The psychiatrist observed her reaction and knew that it must be related to pain, but he was not in a hurry and continued to test slowly.

    "In fact, there are many ways to relieve pain. Eating, exercising, and traveling are all good ways. Of course, these are not the most fundamental ways."

    Li Wei also seemed to be curious about what the most fundamental method was, his expression finally changed, and he quietly raised his head to glance at him.

    Seeing that she finally had a reaction, the psychiatrist continued, "The most fundamental way is to cut off the source of pain."

    "You can think about what is the source of your pain? What is it that makes you so painful? Is this really a dead end? There is no solution? Why can't you choose to stay away from it or face it?"

    Li Wei lowered her head, not giving the doctor a chance to see her expression.

    But the tightly knit fingers still revealed her mood at this time.

    The doctor knew that it was not easy to pry open the patient's heart, so he didn't force her. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said to her, "Today..."

    However, before he finished speaking, Li Wei suddenly hesitated and said, "I tried to stay away..."

    Having said that, she unconsciously touched her left arm.

    The doctor instantly understood what was going on. He was already about to end today's visit, but when he saw this, he sat back again.

    Then he asked tentatively, "Have you failed?"

    Li Wei shook his head, but nodded again, looking extremely confused.

    While observing her carefully, the doctor guessed the source of her pain based on her information and family background.

    Adopted by such a family since she was a child, she is smart and outstanding, so what would trap her?emotion?

    Thinking of this, the doctor pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "You can't stay away from him, can you?"

    Unprepared, Li Wei subconsciously shook his head.

    Immediately after realizing something, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head as if guilty.

    The doctor knew that he had guessed right. It was just love between a man and a woman, which is normal. Besides, it was not the age of puppy love that parents would stop. Why did he feel pain and resistance?

    Unless it's a person who can't like and can't stay away from.

    Can't like and can't stay away?

    Combining so many years of experience, the psychiatrist checked in his mind bit by bit.

    Girlfriend's boyfriend?It doesn't seem like, although this kind of relationship is immoral, there is no taboo that cannot be crossed at all, so that it produces such deep pain and self-blame?

    Why do you blame yourself?

    "Then do you want to try to face it or break it?" The doctor continued to ask.

    Li Wei answered quickly this time, shaking his head slightly.

    "Why?" asked the doctor, trying to speculate.

    Li Wei fell silent again.

    The doctor knew that this was her mental forbidden zone, so she could only stop temporarily.

    He looked up at the time, and it was about the same time. If it continued, both of them would be exhausted, so he stood up and said to her, "We'll be here first today. Your mother and brother are waiting for you outside."

    "Okay." Li Wei also stood up and walked towards the door.

    The psychiatrist followed her out, and Li Zhou and Mrs. Li were already waiting at the door.

    The psychiatrist took a look at Mrs. Li and wanted to talk to her.

    Mrs. Li naturally understood what he meant, and walked with him to the psychological counseling room.

    When closing the door, the psychiatrist subconsciously glanced in Li Wei's direction again.

    Li Zhou was bowing his head to say something to her, Li Wei's body was tense all the time, his head was lowered, and the fingers of his right hand tightly held his wrist, as if he was restraining something.

    At that moment, the psychiatrist suddenly blessed the soul.

    Pain and resistance, like but can not stay away...

    It's Li Zhou.

    What she likes is Li Zhou.

    "Doctor Chen, why is Weiwei?"

    It stands to reason that a confidentiality agreement has been signed before the psychological consultation, and the patient's situation cannot be disclosed at will.

    But the hospitals are all owned by Li's family, so the psychiatrist naturally dare not hide anything.

    "Madam, Weiwei is very uncooperative, so these are just my guesses."

    "You say."

    "Wei Wei, she seems to be in love with someone she shouldn't be in..."

    Mrs. Li was shocked all night when she found out about this incident, and accepted it the next day.

    I even started to think in a good direction to convince myself.

    After all, Li Wei and Li Zhou are not related by blood, so it is not impossible for them to be together.

    What's more, Li Wei is the child she raised since she was a child. She is good-looking and outstanding. She also knows his character and morality. It is much safer for her and Li Zhou to be together than Li Zhou's choice.

    What's more, Li Wei was also raised as her own daughter, and she is really reluctant to marry in the future. If she marries Li Zhou, I will not embarrass her. There is no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She is still my daughter, and they will always be a family.

    Mrs. Li thought about it for a few days, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. It didn't seem like a bad thing.

    So he told Mr. Li about it.

    Although Mr. Li also felt that what she said was reasonable, he always felt awkward. After all, he had raised her as his daughter since he was a child, but one day he was suddenly told that his daughter might become his daughter-in-law.

    It's not impossible, but it still feels weird.

    "Actually, I also think it's weird." Mrs. Li sighed, "But you have seen Weiwei's injury, and I don't want to see her in so much pain."

    Hearing this, old man Li sat down beside her, and sighed, "Actually, I don't object, but I don't know what Li Zhou thinks. What if he only sees Weiwei as a younger sister?"

    "It's not impossible. We can create opportunities for them, and leave the rest to fate."

    The two made up their minds, so they paid Li Zhou a large sum of money to accompany Li Wei to go around, and specifically explained that this was the psychiatrist's suggestion to let her relax more.

    As it was about Li Wei's health, Li Zhou naturally had no objection and quickly agreed.

    The night before departure, Mrs. Li came to Li Wei's room and said that she wanted to sleep with her, and the two had a heart-to-heart talk.

    Li Wei naturally agreed.

    At night, the two of them were lying on the bed, chatting nonchalantly, and they somehow ended up talking about Mr. Li.

    "Actually, I knew him before we met. I thought he was too tough-tempered. I didn't like him. He also said later that he had heard of me a long time ago and thought I was arrogant and arrogant. We thought we couldn't make it at first., As a result, when we meet, we actually like each other."

    Thinking of the past, Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile.

    Li Wei looked at her expression, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes unconsciously.

    Mrs. Li caught the change in her expression, raised her hand to brush the broken hair on her forehead, and said: "Actually, it's nothing, no matter what you like, just try it if you like it."

    Li Weiwenyan looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, always feeling that she seemed to know something.

    But Mrs. Li's expression was as usual, and she couldn't see anything at all.

    "What if it doesn't work?" Li Wei lowered his eyes, trying to cover up his lack of confidence.

    Seeing this, Mrs. Li held her hand, her voice was gentle but affirmative, "If you try, you may not succeed, but if you don't try, you will definitely not succeed."

    "Life is short, don't let it be all regrets."

    Li Wei didn't speak any more, after a long silence, he held Mrs. Li's finger instead.

    The siblings have traveled to many places.

    Mrs. Li often receives photos from them.

    Tibet, Lhasa, Wuzhen, Guangzhou...

    They have traveled almost all over the country.

    Mrs. Li looked at the photos they sent over, and the smiles on Li Wei's face grew more and more, as if the whole person had come back to life.

    On the day they came back, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li went to the airport to pick them up.

    Seeing Li Wei running towards them with a smile on his face, they also had a guess in their hearts.

    So at night, Mrs. Li called Li Zhou into the room, and asked tentatively, "You and Weiwei?"

    Li Zhou knew what she was asking and nodded, but there was no joy on his face.

    Madam Li's heart sank when she saw it, and she asked, "Don't you like Weiwei?"

    Li Zhou shook his head, "I like her, but I always regard her as my younger sister."

    "Then why did you agree?" Mrs. Li turned serious.

    When Li Zhou heard this, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, "We grew up together, and I don't want to see her continue to hurt myself."

    "But...it's not fair to you." Mrs. Li felt a little sad when she heard that, "We are just creating opportunities for you, but you should decide whether you should decide for yourself, Li Zhou, mom is not forcing you."

    "Mom, I understand." Li Zhou looked up at her, "Anyway, I don't have anyone I like, if it makes Weiwei feel better, I don't mind being around her."

    Mrs. Li was also silent for a while, everything was developing in the direction they expected, and now this result seems to be the best.

    But don't know why, but always feel a little uneasy.

    After their mother and son finished talking, Li Zhou pushed the door and walked out, and then saw Li Wei waiting at the door.

    "Brother." Li Wei saw him, his eyes lit up instantly, and walked towards him.

    However, before he got close, Li Zhou took a step back calmly.

    "What's wrong?" Li Zhou asked.

    "It's okay, I just want to say that it's time for us to go back to school. Have you packed your luggage? Do you want me to pack it for you?"

    "No, it's already packed." Li Zhou said to her.

    After speaking, he walked past her to his room.

    From the corner of the eye, I caught a glimpse of the wall, and there was a single thin shadow on it.

    It looks extremely lonely.

    Li Zhou's footsteps paused slightly, but he couldn't turn around no matter what, so he could only force himself to continue walking forward.

    At first he really thought that Mrs. Li wanted him to take Li Wei out to relax.

    It wasn't until one time that the two of them were regarded as boyfriend and girlfriend when they ate in a restaurant that Li Zhou realized that something was wrong.

    If you want her to relax, why doesn't Mrs. Li come?

    Shouldn't the whole family be together?

    There is no reason for brothers and sisters to come out alone.

    In addition, the mother vaguely revealed that the scar on Li Wei's arm was due to relationship problems, but after talking with the psychiatrist, she asked them to come out alone to relax.

    Immediately more memories were linked uncontrollably.

    Why did Li Wei suddenly alienate herself?Why would you cut your own arm with a knife?

    An outrageous and absurd idea emerged in his mind.

    Does Li Wei like herself?

    The thought startled him, but for a moment he couldn't find a more reasonable reason.

    So in the following trip, there was so much on my mind.

    He thought about the possibility of this idea for a long time, and the way to solve it.

    But whatever?Seems like a dead end.

    On the last night before they go home, Li Wei walks with him by the seaside.

    Facing the boundless sea, Li Wei plucked up his courage and expressed his feelings to him tremblingly.

    Before he could answer, tears fell from his eyes.

    The whole person was shaking so much that he almost passed out.

    Li Zhou could see how much courage it took for her to say these words.

    She was also afraid that her refusal would push her into a deeper abyss.

    Therefore, the words that I had turned over and over in my heart countless times these days were still stuck in my throat, and then swallowed again.

    "Don't cry." Li Zhou raised his hand to wipe away her tears like when he was a child, and finally accepted her heart.

    He said, "My brother likes you too."

    Forget it, anyway, he doesn't have anyone he likes. If he can pull her out of the quagmire in this way, it doesn't seem to be such an unacceptable thing.

    Maybe she was just caused by adolescent hormones. When this relationship fades away, maybe it will become a memory of them teasing each other when they get old.

    At that time, Li Zhou still hadn't got rid of the recklessness and childishness of a young man, and his thinking was too simple.

    Therefore, he did not understand that everything should not be concluded prematurely, after all, the world is the most impermanent thing.

    He joined the company after graduating from college and learned to handle company affairs with his father.

    It was also at that time that met father's secretary, Chu Yin.

    Chu Yin was three years older than him, and graduated from a prestigious school with a master's degree. At that time, it was a remarkable thing.

    She looks like a very gentle southern beauty, but she was actually born in a remote town in the north.

    It looks weak, but the whole person has an extremely strong tenacity. No matter how difficult the job is, he never refuses, and he will work hard to complete it no matter how difficult it is.

    He is one of Mr. Li's most capable assistants.

    After he came to the company, Mr. Li asked Chu Yin to follow Li Zhou to familiarize him with the company's affairs.

    At first, Li Zhou just felt that there was a kind of bright vitality in her character that he liked very much.

    Later, I found that my gaze always seemed to follow her figure unconsciously.

    after that……

    Li Zhou found that he seemed to have given up his heart without knowing when.

    They once worked overtime together until late at night, and when the task was completed, they each slumped in their chairs and exchanged tired smiles.

    Do your best together for a common project.

    We have been to various wine bureaus together.

    After Li Zhou noticed his thoughts, he suddenly understood why Li Wei avoided him in the first place, because his first reaction was to avoid him.

    He started to travel frequently, negotiating contracts alone, and even in the company, he tried to stagger occasions where she was present.

    However, once he was drunk, his consciousness was blurred, but he still couldn't control the thoughts in his heart.

    He came to Chu Yin's house alone and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.

    In the end, was so sleepy that sat on the stairs, like a stray dog who had lost its home.

    Looking at the closed door, he finally dared to say that sentence, "Chu Yi, I miss you very much."

    The next day he was woken up by the old lady who was going downstairs to buy vegetables.

    The old lady looked concerned, "Is something wrong? Why are you sleeping here?"

    Li Zhou opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, then stood up while leaning on the railing.

    He looked around his surroundings, his brain was still dazed, but it was still enough for her to remember what happened last night.

    "I'm looking for someone." Li Zhou rubbed his temples and said.

    "Who are you first?"

    "Chu Yin."

    "She moved," said the old lady. "She moved away three days ago."

    "Really?" Li Zhou asked in a daze, "Where did you move?"

    "I don't know? The girl didn't say anything."

    For some reason, Li Zhou suddenly felt a little bad, he hurriedly thanked the old lady and ran out.

    He didn't even bother to change his clothes and ran back to the company.

    However, when she arrived at the company, she found that the seat she used to sit at was empty.

    Li Zhou looked at her empty desktop and suddenly realized something.

    He casually grabbed a passing employee and asked, "Where's Chu Yin?"

    "Secretary Chu has resigned."

    "Resign?"

    "Yes, the resignation application was submitted three days ago, and she has gone."

    It was an era when communication was extremely inconvenient.

    If a person deliberately wants to leave, there is nowhere to look for her.

    Li Zhou went crazy and searched many places, but there was no news of Chu Yin.

    This day he spent another night searching outside, and the next day he came directly to the company with his eyes darkened, but he didn't expect to see Li Wei in the office as soon as he entered.

    Li Zhou didn't react until he saw her, even though they hadn't done anything so far.

    But at least in name, his girlfriend is Li Wei.

    "Why are you here?" Li Zhou avoided her eyes and walked in.

    "I'll send you some clothes, you haven't been home for a long time." There is a suitcase next to Li Wei, which contains Li Zhou's toiletries and clothes she packed.

    "I... will go back in a few days." Li Zhou belatedly felt a trace of guilt.

    "Okay, I know you are very busy, but you still have to pay attention to your body." Li Wei looked at his relaxed expression, his eyes turned red, but he immediately lowered his head, so Li Zhou didn't see clearly.

    She didn't stay too long, and left after speaking.

    When Li Wei passed by him, a strong premonition suddenly rose in Li Zhou's heart, and she already knew it.

    But neither of them said anything.

    City A is too big, it is difficult to find someone, but Li Zhou never gave up.

    He found a one-inch photo of Chu Yin when he joined the job and put it in his wallet. Every time he knew someone, he would take it out and ask.

    "Her name is Chu Yin, have you met her?"

    However, for a whole year, he never heard from her.

    He came to Jiangnan on a business trip that day, because the original hotel had a problem, so the assistant temporarily booked another hotel with a lower grade for him.

    Li Zhou usually doesn't live there, but it's late at night, so he can only make do with it.

    He and his assistant entered the hotel, and the assistant went to check in, while he rested on the sofa in the lobby with his eyes closed.

    However, before closing his eyes for a long time, he suddenly heard a middle-aged male voice: "What's going on here? The water leaked all night, and you still keep people from sleeping? Where's your manager? Find your lobby for me."manager."

    The front desk seemed to be trying to persuade him patiently, but the man didn't pay attention at all, and just kept yelling loudly.

    Li Zhou was a little impatient with the noise, and when he was about to open his eyes, a gentle but capable voice suddenly sounded, "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

    "I'm the lobby manager, Chu Yin."

    The author has something to say:
