Xu Tingsheng postponed his return to Yanzhou for five days.
Of course, he had to ask the "big boss" Lu Zhixin for leave because of this, and endured a few scoldings. This is the current internal ecology of Hucheng, and Lu Zhixin is the one who stands at the top of the food chain and eats everything.
Xu Tingsheng was worried about Apple's situation. The biggest difficulty was that he couldn't tell Apple his worries, let alone persuade Apple to admit his illness and go to the hospital for treatment.
Because once that happened, Apple would immediately come to the conclusion she had been suspicious of: I was sick, and Xu Tingsheng just took pity on me.
This only makes the situation worse.
Therefore, on the one hand, Xu Tingsheng collected a lot of information on the Internet and selected some daily treatments that might be applicable. On the other hand, he went to a few psychological consultations alone, described Apple's situation to the doctor, and then listened to the doctor's opinion.
The doctor's judgment gave Xu Tingsheng great comfort. In their view, Apple was originally very optimistic, positive and strong by nature, full of enthusiasm for people and things, which is a good foundation, and she should have no genetic problems.
Therefore, Apple's situation is a stress response caused by extreme depression in a short period of time. It comes urgently and seriously, but it is also possible to get rid of it.
"So you are very important. You are her current support. For a depressed patient, there is someone she is not willing to hurt and let down, which can prevent her from willingly going to the abyss in terms of self-consciousness and give herself more positive hints ."The doctor said.
"I know." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Then, if she is willing to do something for you, try to let her do it, so that she will have more affirmation of herself. Correspondingly, she will gradually recognize her own value and come out of the state of self-denial."
"Um."
"In fact, the most important thing is her herself. If her symptoms can be alleviated, you should let her do what she wants to do and realize her self-worth. Of course, in the initial stage, you'd better create a relatively smooth environment for her. environment, in short, she must not be allowed to encounter the same situation as before."
"Thank you, I remembered. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
"It's nothing special. In fact, the realization stage is to let her open herself as much as possible and get back to her original state of getting along with people, including with you and with other people. By the way, and the consulting fee this time is 5,000 , go pay the fee."
"..."
Xu Tingsheng wanted to say, damn it...it was exactly the same as what was said on the Internet.
In the next few days, Xu Tingsheng accompanied Apple back to Libei to visit his grandmother and mother. If Apple needed support, Xu Tingsheng felt that his grandmother and mother must have a lot to offer Apple.
Of course, this time, Xu Tingsheng just waited at the entrance of the village and did not dare to follow.
"Do you remember what you told me here before?" Apple asked Xu Tingsheng at the entrance of the village.
"Remember." Xu Tingsheng said, that time he said that he would prepare a huge dowry for Apple.
"And remember what I said?" Apple continued.
"Remember... you won." Xu Tingsheng smiled wryly, Apple said that time, when you fall in love with me, I will torture you to death.
"Huh, I still can't bear it now. You will suffer in the future. Who told you to bully me for so long?" Apple said, "Actually, grandma likes you very much. Are you really going to visit grandma with me?"
"Then if you bully me in the future, I will complain to my grandma," Xu Tingsheng said, "But this time I really dare not go with you. Mom is here too. We haven't reached the time to meet our parents yet? I can't even stand here. nervous."
After Xu Tingsheng finished speaking, he took out a card and handed it to Apple, and said: "Give this to Mom, there is 100,000 in it, and you can say that you earned it yourself, so that they can feel at ease, and Mom can continue to stay here to take care of grandma." .”
In the past six months, Apple did not earn much money, but spent a lot of money. The daily salary that Tianle gave her was only more than 2,000 yuan. In many cases, she even had to pay for the equipment.
Most of the share that Apple got through commercial performances was spent on these, and the rest, she had already handed in the rest in order to persuade her mother to go back to Libei to take care of her grandmother.
She originally dreamed of buying a house and taking her mother and grandmother out to live together. The mother and daughter once sat together and described that kind of life. Therefore, the current situation of Apple cannot let her mother know.
This point, Xu Tingsheng had already thought about it for her.
Apple hesitated for a while, wanting to refuse, Xu Tingsheng said:
"The password is your birthday. Remember what you said last time here? You said let me make money, and then it's all yours. I'm good at making money now, but you don't want it?"
"Yes." Apple said with a smile.
…
Leaving Libei, the two traveled all the way along the railway line, and the last stop was Shenghai City, because Apple insisted on taking Xu Tingsheng to a small bar to meet two gods.
"I used to go there to play tickets when I was here, and I sang there for a while." Apple said.
"So, go back and feel nostalgic?" Xu Tingsheng asked her.
"No, that bar is really amazing. You'll know when you go there. The two bosses are gods." Apple was very excited. On the way to the bar, he introduced the two to Xu Tingsheng with great interest. Fantastic bar owner.
One of the two people is called Zhang Daxian. Apple said that this person once had several girlfriends at the same time, and after feeling tired of dealing with it left and right, he considered confessing and letting them accept this situation.
He thought of a unified rhetoric.
Zhang Daxian will first say: "Do you know how women come from according to the Bible?"
Then his girlfriend would say, "How come?"
Then Zhang Daxian said: "God created a man first, called Adam. Later, he found that Adam was lonely, so he took one of Adam's ribs and made a woman, called Eve. Therefore, a woman is actually a man's rib. oh."
The woman would say, "That's it. Then I'm your rib. You must be in pain without me."
Finally, Zhang Daxian lifted his shirt: "But...you see, I have a lot of ribs."
"He said that to every girlfriend," Apple said.
"And then?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Then he was single." Apple glanced at Xu Tingsheng and said.
Then there was another one, another boss called Lao Ban, who used to write online novels. For a while, Lao Ban started to write a fairy tale novel, and only three girls were his readers.
In the novel of the old half, the male protagonist has gone through three reincarnations, and in each life, he and a female protagonist have gone through all kinds of disasters and obstacles, but they still swear to each other to the death.
Later, the plot developed into a very difficult situation, because Sun Wukong destroyed the book of life and death, and the reincarnation of the world was chaotic. This man and three women actually met in the same life.
"What should I do? I can't write any more. You can choose for me, choose one, and give up two. I... can't do it myself." The old man said to the girl, smoking a cigarette with his head down, frowning deeply.
"I, I... can't choose. They all love each other so much." The girl was deeply involved in the scene, and tears began to appear in her eyes.
"But he must be loyal to love, he can only love one. You know, I have never liked harem texts." There was a painful excitement in the old man's voice.
"But he wasn't unfaithful, and he didn't do it on purpose... If it wasn't for Monkey King, they wouldn't have appeared in the same life!" The girl argued anxiously, with tears in her eyes.
"Damn Monkey King." The old man said with righteous indignation.
"Yeah, it's all due to Monkey King." The girl echoed.
"Then what should we do now? Let's at least choose the first one to give up. Or... give up the first life first?" said the old man.
"No, it's not possible. Have you forgotten that she betrayed her master for the male lead and broke her own arm to apologize to the master who raised her? For him, she bears the spurning and pursuit of the entire Righteous Path!" The girl Seriously.
"Then, the second life, after all, she hurt the male lead." The old man said.
"No. That's right, she once hurt the male lead, but she gave him the love of her life. Have you forgotten that she was carrying the seriously injured male lead on her back and struggling to escape the devil's pursuit in the desert? The Demon Lord is so powerful, and the hero also persuaded her to let go of herself and escape, but she said that the concubine can die with the king, and cannot live alone. Can you forget this?" The girl is deeply trapped in the novel.
"Then give up the third life first, they are not really together after all, it's easier to separate." The old man said.
"That's the way to be more cruel, you know? She has loved the male lead silently for so long, and has done so much for him silently... The male lead just understood her intentions, and Sun Wukong destroyed the book of life and death. They have just begun. The male lead hasn't taken her to see the Nine Heavens and Seven Colors Sea yet, he promised her. Have you forgotten?" said the girl.
"Then, there is only one way left, although I am very hesitant... I am going to let the male lead die." After a long pause, the old man said sadly.
"No, how can you be so cruel? If he dies, do you know how sad and painful they will be? Maybe... maybe they will all die." The girl was excited and burst into tears.
"Alas. It's all due to Monkey King." Old Ban sighed, with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Can't, let them all be together?" The girl asked tentatively, "Let them all be together, okay?"
"Isn't it good?" the old man said suppressing his excitement.
"Why can't it? He didn't mean it, they all really love each other!" The girl said anxiously, as if the old man would make a fuss if he disagreed.
"What you said seems to make sense. It's true love, so no one is wrong. Is that what you mean?" Old Ban said.
"Yeah, so let's just keep them all together, okay? They're all going to be happy," the girl said.
"Okay. You convinced me." The old man said.
"The old man also told all three of his girls about this conversation," Apple said.
"And then?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Then he was single too. Then the older half went out on a trip and met Zhang Daxian." Apple continued to look at Xu Tingsheng with her meaningful eyes, almost couldn't help the smugness on the corner of her mouth.
"Then...are they together?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
Apple was dumbfounded: "Xu Tingsheng, what are you thinking? They just opened this small bar together. It's a fairy-tale theme, and it also provides fortune-telling services by the way."
"Then have they each found a girlfriend?"
"Maybe not."
"That's why they're together."
"..."
The two began to discuss this question along the way: whether Lao Ban and Zhang Daxian are together. Until they reached the small bar deep in the alley. Xu Tingsheng looked up and saw the name of the bar: It's all because of Monkey King.
There is also a small sign hanging next to it: If you spend more than 500 yuan, you will get a fortune-telling for free. If you are not satisfied with the consumption, you will get 500 yuan once.
Xu Tingsheng finally knew what a strange thing was.
Surprisingly, the small bar's business is not bad. Apple and the two were old acquaintances, and introduced Xu Tingsheng to them. After chatting for a while, he went on stage to help sing, leaving Xu Tingsheng to drink and chat with the two.
"It can be seen that Apple likes you very much. So, don't cheat on me! Brother." The old man picked up the cup and touched Xu Tingsheng with his hand holding a cigarette, and said to him meaningfully.
"I... no." Xu Tingsheng took a sip of his wine, guilty of denying it.
"Hey," Zhang Daxian on the side smiled strangely, and said, "Is there any, let me do the math for you? There is no charge, just treat it as the salary of Apple's resident singing today."
"Isn't that impossible?" Xu Tingsheng said in embarrassment.
"It's too late, I'm already thinking about it." Zhang Daxian took a few bamboo sticks, closed his eyes and poked it, jumped up excitedly and said, "Oh, brother, your love path is hindered... Oh, this is so difficult... There is one thing that can overcome your feelings."
"Ah." The old man next to him cooperated with a long sigh.
"What? What restrained me?" Seeing the scene, Xu Tingsheng realized that both of them were extremely serious, so he was about to burst out laughing, and said cooperatively.
"Monkey King." Zhang Daxian said firmly.
"Sure enough, it's him again." The old man on the side echoed seriously, and said with a stronger tone.
"So, Monkey King is all to blame?" Xu Tingsheng asked.
"Um". In the corner of the small bar with dim lights, Zhang Daxian, a vicissitudes of life man, took a deep breath, took a puff of cigarette, and said to Xu Tingsheng:
"Originally, in a lifetime, one would only love one person, and would meet that person, and it happened to only love you. It is a pity that the book of life and death was destroyed by Monkey King, and the reincarnation of the world was messed up. That's why love is chaotic. wrong."
"It's all to blame Monkey King." The old man on the side handed over an extremely shoddy iron hoop, and said to Xu Tingsheng with a vicissitudes of life: "So, buy a diamond ring. It has been blessed, and it can hold it down."
Xu Tingsheng almost fell down the table laughing.
"Give him a dozen." Apple didn't know when he got off the stage, stood behind Xu Tingsheng, and said for him.
In the end, Xu Tingsheng was half drunk, and left the small bar with twelve iron hoops that he bought for 1,200 yuan. Apple walked beside him, jumping in steps, with an uncontrollable smug look on his face.
Xu Tingsheng liked to see her like this.
Of course, he also knew why Apple had to bring him here, this cunning girl, she and the two bosses had discussed it at all, and she said what she didn't dare to say directly.
"Apple." Xu Tingsheng called out.
"Huh?" Apple turned back.
"This", Xu Tingsheng raised the iron hoop in his hand and said, "Shall I wear one when I get up?"
"Yeah." Apple nodded excitedly.
Anyway, it was dark, and anyway, he was in another place, Xu Tingsheng put one on his head, Apple looked left and right, extremely satisfied, extremely proud. "Let's go back to Yanzhou," Apple said.
"Okay." Xu Tingsheng said.
"Can I see Xiang Ning? I want to see her, as long as I see her."
"Well, I'm sorry, it doesn't work now. Actually, it's not necessary."
"...that's fine, but..."
Apple snatched a handful of "diamond rings" from Xu Tingsheng's hand, and put them on his head one by one.
