Tan Mo came out after washing up again. He had already changed his clothes, and the dull hair on his head was gone, and he returned to the icy and delicate youth of the past.
Qiao Lan was a little disappointed for a moment when she saw Tan Mo's neat hair.
Putting these aside and talking about the topic, Qiao Lan has been reading the book about Asperger's disease recently. The book says that this symptom cannot be cured and will never be cured, but there are other ways to make Asperger's disease. People with Berger's disease are closer to normal people and slowly understand other people's facial expressions or body movements.
If this disease is just regarded as a disease, and this disease cannot communicate with people normally, it will undoubtedly make people feel very heavy, but if you change your thinking, for example, consider communicating with people as a course, and treat other people as a course. The expressions and actions are regarded as another language that I have never come into contact with. It seems that it is not too difficult to understand in this way.
Because I haven't been in contact, I don't understand, but if you learn slowly, you may be able to communicate normally.
Tan Mo didn't know how Qiao Lan was going to teach him. He seemed to be sitting in front of the table obediently, but in fact his mind was in a mess.
Because Qiao Lan put her phone on the table when she went out, Tan Mo saw Qiao Lan read the big AS letters on the top of the book at a glance.
Then the whole person stayed in place.
He didn't know that Qiao Lan already knew that he was an AS patient, and he didn't want Qiao Lan to know, just like he didn't want Qiao Lan to see his weird legs and embarrassing scars.
But now I suddenly found out that Qiao Lan knew it for a long time, not only knew it, but also secretly understood it behind the scenes.
When did she know? How do you know? What did you think when you found out? Does she feel weird about herself? Do you feel like you are in trouble...
Not even a minute after Qiao Lan went out, Tan Mo had no idea how many thoughts flashed in his mind.
After a while, Qiao Lan never knew where to find a mirror, and then moved a chair and sat next to Tan Mo, wiping his arm from time to time, unlike wearing a school uniform when sitting at the same table, the home was very warm, but Tan Mo felt it. to Qiao Lan's warm skin.
Much warmer than myself.
Qiao Lan put the mirror in front of Tan Mo, "Okay, let's start with the most basic ones, that is to laugh, there are many kinds of laughter, smile, laugh, wry smile, sneer... There are many, many, we learn the easiest one. Just like the most basic smile, look at me!"
Tan Mo turned his head.
Ah, so close.
"No matter what kind of smile, the corners of the lips are generally raised. Some smiles have a larger arc and some are smaller. A smile is a common expression that everyone makes. The simple understanding is to smile a little, a little, understand, a little. It means that the curvature of the smile is not large, so the curvature of the corners of the mouth is not very large, which is how I am now."
Qiao Lan looked at him with a smile, and pointed to the corners of her lips, "The corners of the lips are raised, the teeth are usually exposed, and then the eyes are slightly narrowed, and the entire facial curvature is upward." Qiao Lan used both hands again. Signaled an upward movement,
"If a person's facial features are like this, then he is 80 to 90 percent smiling. Generally, when everyone smiles, they are in a good mood. A smile will make people more confident and better-looking. When everyone sees each other smiling, they are also in a good mood. It will make you feel better.”
Tan Mo looked away from Qiao Lan's face, which was close at hand, and looked away unnaturally.
He also thinks he looks better when he smiles alone.
Just like Qiao Lan now, Tan Mo feels that she is really good-looking at the moment.
And he seems to really be able to perceive emotions, and his mood is really good at this moment.
"Then let's learn to smile first, shall we?" Qiao Lan put the mirror in front of Tan Mo, still maintaining her facial expression, "Like me, the corners of your lips are raised..."
Tan Mo finally understood why Qiao Lan was looking for the mirror.
He moved his stiff facial muscles, turned his head to look at Qiao Lan, and felt that he had deeply imprinted Qiao Lan's face in his heart, but when he did it, it was far from simple.
Normal people don't need to learn these things at all. What they feel in their hearts, eyes and mouth, etc., will spontaneously make corresponding changes, but for Tan Mo, the feeling in the heart and facial expressions seem to be different hinges, he needs to send out The second command controls your facial features to make corresponding changes.
Not from the heart, but by imitation.
As Qiao Lan said at the beginning, compare this process to learning a new foreign language.
Remembering the facial expression corresponding to an emotion is like remembering a new word, but rethinking it and then trying to express it, that is, combining the new word into a sentence.
Tan Mo remembered taking pictures together at school when he was a child. The cameraman shouted at him to make him smile, but he didn't understand what a smile was.
If the photographer could give Qiao Lan a look at that time and tell him what to do when he smiles, he might also be able to leave a smiling expression in his childhood.
The corners of the lips should be raised, and the eyes should be slightly narrowed...
Qiao Lan sat next to him, tilting his head and looking at him seriously.
Tan Mo is very serious, but he has never studied like this before, so it was always difficult at the beginning, the corners of his lips were raised, but they went up and down, not like a smile, but more like a sneer, and his eyes narrowed more like a sneer. It's a purposeful look, not a smile.
"Well... not quite right," Qiao Lan said. She leaned forward a little, and her fingers suddenly landed on Tan Mo's lips. Tan Mo's strange smile suddenly froze on her face, and she turned her head mechanically to face it. following her.
Qiao Lan looked at it carefully, raised her left hand on Tan Mo's chin, and tapped the corner of his right lip with her right hand, "Rise a little more here, that's right, don't be nervous, don't be afraid to show your teeth, we ink your teeth. So pretty...hey, is it orange-flavored toothpaste?"
Tan Mo felt the position where Qiao Lan's warm fingers landed on his cheeks. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. Hearing Qiao Lan say this, he subconsciously said, "Orange."
"I also like orange flavor," Qiao Lan laughed, "Let's squeeze orange juice and drink it later."
Tan Mo's eyes were slightly curved, and he said hurriedly, "Okay."
"Don't move," Qiao Lan said suddenly, "Just keep it like this", Qiao Lan hurriedly took out her phone.
Tan Mo is always a little weird when he smiles, but at that moment, his smiling eyes were curved, and the curved corners of his lips were particularly beautiful. His facial features, which made people feel extremely cold because he had never laughed before, were also smiling at this moment. down, slowly dissolving.
Facing the sun, Qiao Lan recorded Tan Mo at this moment.
Sunshine, teenager, smile.
Qiao Lan handed the phone to Tan Mo, "Doesn't it look good when you smile?"
Tan Mo took the phone, looked at himself on the phone, raised his head and glanced at Qiao Lan.
It's really nice to laugh.
But he was thinking of Qiao Lan.
She smiles the best.
Uncle Chen came in from outside and was surprised when he saw this photo for a long time. When he was finished, he asked Qiao Lan to send him the photo.
Qiao Lan sent a copy of the photo to Uncle Chen and another to Tan Mo, and then stared at the photo for a long time.
He looks so good-looking, he should smile more, he looks better when he smiles, everyone will like him more if he laughs often, and there will be more friends, more understanding and people approaching him.
Every day after that, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo have a new course, which is to recognize facial expressions.
Begin to recognize, and then slowly learn to imitate.
When Qiao Lan was reading the book, he saw a recommended software in the book. This software invited the actor who played Harry Potter to show specific facial expressions, body language and speech characteristics related to emotions. In order to make it easier for people to understand emotions, corresponding small events are also written for each emotion.
For example, if you expect to get a gift from your parents on your birthday, but your parents forget your birthday, the feeling that arises at this time is disappointment; for example, you did nothing wrong, but everyone thinks that you did something wrong, The mood at this time is probably grievance.
Qiao Lan asked Tan Mo to read it first, and then asked him to guess what emotion the other party wanted to express, what emotion it was when he made this expression, and then read the correspondingly written story after Tan Mo answered.
Tan Mo is really smart.
Relying on this learning method, he quickly memorized the facial expressions and body language corresponding to many emotions, and gradually understood some emotions that he could not recognize before.
Although for ordinary people, this identification method is very rigid and there are many mistakes, but for Tan Mo, it is undoubtedly a kind of progress.
The summer vacation passed slowly day by day. When he was just on vacation, Tan Mo felt that the summer vacation was too long, but now it feels a little too short.
A few days before the start of school, Aunt Chen finally came back from her hometown, and when she came back, she saw Qiao Lan stunned for a long time.
It is said that adolescent girls look the same every day. They haven't seen Qiao Lan for several months, and Aunt Chen can't recognize them.
Qiao Lan's complexion should be very white. After all, Mother Qiao, Second Sister Qiao and Qiao Yuan are all white, and Sister Qiao is probably malnourished and overworked every day, so her complexion is a little worse.
Qiao Lan has been fed by Tan Mo for nearly a year. Every day is a nutritious meal specially matched by a nutritionist, and there are all kinds of nutritional products. All the girl's previous lack has been made up, and her complexion is no longer as dark as before. Huang lowered and finally regained the fair skin that a girl of this age should have.
As soon as the skin turned white, the originally excellent facial features became more open, like a dusty pearl that had been wiped clean for a long time, revealing its original appearance.
She was originally just a pretty girl, but she suddenly turned into a beautiful girl who couldn't take her eyes off her.
The facial features are exquisite, the figure is excellent, and the legs are slender. Walking on the street is definitely a stunning presence that will attract attention.
Qiao Lan looked in the mirror and finally believed in the description of Qiao Lan's appearance in the book, and finally believed in how much a person's skin color affects his appearance.
Tan Mo was sitting in a wheelchair, listening to Aunt Chen's praise of Qiao Lan's beauty over and over again, and she also felt a little proud, as if Aunt Chen praised that person was not Qiao Lan but him.
Finally came the last day of vacation, Qiao Lan packed up, returned to school ahead of schedule, tidied up the dormitory, and went to report tomorrow morning.
Speaking of which, I was a little nervous. I didn't know how many classes I was assigned to, and I didn't know if I could be assigned to the same class as Tan Mo.
Chen Bo happily sent Qiao Lan to school in person, and left a sentence when he left, and then walked away, saying that she should be at ease.
Qiao Lan walked in a hurry, didn't hear it clearly and didn't react too much. After the school officially started the next day, she went to the exhibition board to find out the class assignments, and saw that both her and Tan Mo's names appeared after class 18. Smile softly.
That's what it meant to reassure her.
