Three months later.
After reading the report in his hand, the psychologist told Lu Jingshen: "The results of this evaluation are not bad. The first course of treatment is over. The effect is within expectations. What about you? How do you feel?"
Lu Jingshen couldn't explain it, but compared to three months ago, he no longer felt nervous and repulsed even when stepping through this door. In this respect, he had indeed made a lot of progress.
"… fine."
The doctor continued, "Our previous goals were, first, to eliminate your reflex fear of past experiences, and second, to reduce the cognitive fear caused by this experience. As for the former, you have made great progress, and I think your own feelings should be the most obvious. As for the latter, the treatment effect varies from person to person, so we can only take it slowly. You have made considerable progress, but if you still feel that it is not working, we can move on to the second stage of treatment later to improve it in a targeted manner."
"Don't feel stressed. I have seen all kinds of patients, and you, Mr. Lu, are the most cooperative among them. It is a pleasant surprise that we can achieve the expected results in such a short time."
Lu Jingshen nodded, and after hesitating, he asked the other party: "If I can force myself to step out, does that mean I am healed?"
The doctor said: "Being able to take the first step is of course a big improvement, but the key is that you no longer have negative emotions about it and can truly face and accept yourself. Only then can you be considered cured."
Lu Jingshen let out a sigh of relief: "I understand."
After thanking the doctor, he stood up and left.
Feng Si was waiting for him outside the door, just like every time.
Facing this man's brilliant smile, Lu Jingshen felt relieved. He was able to get rid of the nightmare that had troubled him for years in just three months. The effect of psychological treatment was certainly a big factor, but more importantly, it was because of the man in front of him.
If it weren't for Feng Si, he wouldn't have reached this point.
Feng Si didn't ask anything, and said in a relaxed tone: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Lu Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let's have some porridge. I heard someone say there's a pretty good seafood porridge restaurant nearby."
Feng Si: “Okay.”
No longer caring about what to eat and saying whatever is fine is also a kind of progress. Perhaps Lu Jingshen himself did not realize it.
At the dinner table, Feng Si said that he had to leave after dinner. A friend of his was getting married today, and he had to be the best man. "Originally, I had to go over to help in the morning, but I pushed it to the afternoon."
Lu Jingshen: "If you had told me earlier, I could have come alone."
"Your business is more important," Feng Si said without taking it to heart, "Why rush? Wait until I'm full before going."
After coming out of the restaurant, Lu Jingshen offered to take him there, but Feng Si refused: "It's not on the way, I can just take a taxi there myself, so you don't have to make another trip."
Seeing that Lu Jingshen had been staring at him, Feng Si laughed: "You don't want me to leave again? Then how about you go with me, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Jingshen's eyes showed hesitation. Before he could make a decision, Feng Si denied it himself: "Forget it. You will feel uncomfortable in that kind of occasion. Go back to work. I will call you in the evening."
"See you later." He finally helped Lu Jingshen pull up his suit jacket, waved and called a taxi and left.
Lu Jingshen could only give up. After Feng Si’s car drove away, he drove back to the company alone.
