You Caught My Attention

Tan Yin felt that Chu Hang was a little weird today.

She watched him open a book, then close it; turn on his computer, then close it again. Now he was leaving before he even had time to warm up his chair in the library

Tan Yin had no choice but to stand up and follow Chu Hang out of the library. How did he study to get such good grades? What was his secret? She had to try harder to find out.

It was still thundering outside, and Tan Yin, as usual, nimbly got under Chu Hang's umbrella and followed him closely.

But Chu Hang was a little bit unusual today. His expression was quite solemn. Although he looked straight ahead and was as cold and unapproachable as ever, his hand holding the umbrella was so strong that his knuckles turned white. He seemed to be testing something, deliberately walking and stopping along the way, forcing Tan Yin to stop and start as well.

Tan Yin was a little suspicious at first. Could it be that Chu Hang had discovered something

However, it was not until she saw Chu Hang walking towards the school's psychological counseling room that she finally realized something and felt relieved. It seemed that his stopping and starting were not a test, but a result of Chu Hang's inner struggle! This young friend seemed to have some difficulty in his heart!

*****

Chu Hang looked at the huge words "Psychological Counseling" in front of him, took a deep breath, and finally walked in.

The layout of the psychological counseling room was quite cozy. On duty today was a middle-aged female counselor who was kind and approachable. She made tea for Chu Hang with a smile, which dispelled some of the awkwardness between the two when they first met.

The other party did not ask Chu Hang directly what psychological problems he wanted to consult like a doctor, but was ready to chat with Chu Hang like a friend.

Unfortunately, Chu Hang didn't appreciate it. He pursed his lips, obviously not interested in talking about anything else. He said bluntly: "I have some problems recently."

The psychologist was stunned: "What kind of problem is it?"

"I've been having inexplicable hallucinations lately, and today it's even worse. Not only am I having auditory hallucinations, I'm also having visual hallucinations. I went for a physical examination to check, but all my physical indicators were fine, so these auditory and visual hallucinations should be psychological problems." Chu Hang raised his head, looking a little serious, "How can I cure these visual and auditory hallucinations caused by psychological problems?"

"If there is no physical problem, and it is just psychological factors that cause the hallucinations, then once the psychological factors that bother you are resolved, your hallucinations will heal on their own." The psychologist counseled, "But first, I need to know what kind of hallucinations you have and what specific symptoms you have. Let's take a look at what exactly causes the hallucinations, and then we can overcome them little by little, and slowly, it will get better."

Chu Hang pursed his lips, his face expressionless: "I have a classmate. She is obviously not next to me, but I can always hear her voice chirping in my ear recently. Today, not only did I hear her voice, but I could also see her. I was obviously alone, but just now I saw her hiding under my umbrella and following me to the door of the psychological counseling room. She walked when I walked and stopped when I stopped... But as soon as I entered the counseling room, she disappeared."

"This is easy to explain, because her appearance is due to psychological reasons. Once you decide to seek psychological counseling to solve your problems, you will subconsciously feel at ease, so the auditory and visual hallucinations will disappear temporarily under your self-psychological suggestion. Psychological problems are not scary. As long as you are willing to face them, you can overcome them."

It seems to sound a bit like that...

"So is this a female or male classmate?"

"Female."

“Does it look good?”

Chu Hang frowned: "Is this question relevant?"

The psychologist nodded solemnly and said, "Student, I need to know the whole situation. Some information that you think is unimportant is often crucial to our judgment of your situation in the eyes of professionals. So, is this female student pretty?"

"It's OK."

"If we use a scale of 1-10, with the higher the score, the prettier it is, how would you rate this female classmate?"

Chu Hang was somewhat reluctant, but facing the psychologist's convincing face, he reluctantly said, "9 points."

"What about the body shape?"

"…" Chu Hang continued reluctantly, "It's barely okay."

The psychologist understood and gave another score of 9 on his notebook.

After going through all kinds of miscellaneous questions, the psychologist finally looked at Chu Hang and made a shocking conclusion -

"My friend, you can rest assured. Your situation is not serious." The psychologist pushed his glasses and said, "You just met love."

"impossible!"

Chu Hang was furious. What kind of psychological counselor is this? With this level and this conclusion, Xu Yu can also get a certificate to work!

"Don't rush to refute me. I know you said you hate her and it's impossible for you to like her. But the fact that you hate her may just be that you can't face the fact that you have been attracted to her for a long time, and it's a psychological suggestion to yourself."

Chu Hang almost gnashed his teeth: "There is no way I can get along with her. She has no good qualities at all."

"Although you feel that you are not a good match, love does not consider differences in class, IQ, excellence, etc. Love is irrational. It is an instinctive hormonal attraction." The psychologist said, "Only when you really get along with each other will the factors you mentioned have an impact. It's useless for you to not believe it. When there is no physiological problem, such auditory and visual hallucinations can only be explained by psychological reasons. If you want to overcome it, the first thing is to wait for your love for her to gradually dissipate, but it's hard to say when. If you become more and more obsessed and the symptoms become more and more serious, it's not impossible. Secondly, my advice to you is to try to get in touch with this girl more. With more contact, you may understand her better. If you find that it's not suitable, you will naturally become rational again."

The psychologist looked at Chu Hang with a loving face: "If you can't come back to your senses, then have a relationship with her, young man, because maybe this is the love and fate you can't resist."

After being tortured by auditory and visual hallucinations for a long time, Chu Hang felt very confused. For a moment, although he could not accept it at all, he actually felt that what the psychologist said sounded logically explainable

Just dating Tan Yin? Chu Hang thought, I might as well die.

*****

Tan Yin waited outside the psychological counseling room for a long time before finally seeing Chu Hang walking out with heavy steps. His face looked very ugly, as if he had suffered a blow to his outlook on life and the world.

"Shouldn't psychological counseling make you feel refreshed and enlightened after the consultation? Why do you feel more and more depressed the more you consult?" There was still a thunderstorm outside. Tan Yin quickly followed Chu Hang and got into his umbrella again. She looked at the rain curtain outside the umbrella and said, "Look, Chu Hang, I am really nice. I could have followed you in, but I thought about your privacy, so I waited outside. It's windy today and I'm freezing."

Because of the invisibility, this was naturally just Tan Yin talking to herself. Chu Hang was still walking in the rain with an umbrella with a stern face, but his slight frown made him look like he was struggling a little.

"But you raised your voice just now, so even though I didn't want to eavesdrop, I still overheard it by accident." Tan Yin looked at Chu Hang and blinked. She imitated Chu Hang's tone and said angrily, "'I can't possibly like her'!"

"… "

"So you're going to counseling because you've fallen in love with someone you shouldn't? The kind of love that your mind tells you you shouldn't fall in love with, but you don't even want to admit you've fallen in love with?"

"… "

"So she's a married young woman?"

"… "

"Or a handsome straight guy?"

"… "

Although Chu Hang gripped the umbrella handle more and more tightly, Tan Yin did not pay attention to this detail. It was windy today, so it was normal for Chu Hang to hold the umbrella tightly.

"Hey, Chu Hang, I suddenly feel like singing."

"… "

"Forget it, I can't help it anymore, I'm going to sing."

"… "

Tan Yin cleared her throat, put her hand to her mouth to make a microphone, looked at Chu Hang and said: "The following song "When I Wake Up from a Dream" is dedicated to you who are drowning in love - you said that you loved someone you shouldn't love, and your heart is full of scars; you said that you made a mistake you shouldn't have made, and your heart is full of regrets; you said that you have tasted the bitterness of life and can't find anyone you can trust; you said that you feel extremely depressed and even began to doubt life; if you had known that sadness is always inevitable, why did you fall in love so deeply..."

"Hey hey hey! Chu Hang!!! How are you holding the umbrella!!! The umbrella has been blown away!!!"

Tan Yin was singing with great concentration, but Chu Hang's hands suddenly shook, and the umbrella was blown away by the wind! Suddenly, the cold rain slapped Tan Yin's face...

While wiping the rain off her face, Tan Yin ran away from Chu Hang and immediately found a roof not far away to hide from the rain.

And Chu Hang...

Chu Hang was probably too traumatized by the unrequited love that he didn't even chase after the umbrella. He let the wind blow it further and further away. He walked alone in the cold rain with an expressionless face, going further and further away.

Tan Yin was amazed. Although he suffered a serious injury, she had to admit that Chu Hang's back was still quite resolute.

*****

Because the umbrella was gone and Chu Hang seemed to need some quiet time alone, Tan Yin and Chu Hang parted ways. Fortunately, after waiting under the eaves for a while, the thunderstorm stopped. Tan Yin straightened her clothes and returned to the dormitory calmly.

As soon as she opened the dormitory door, Jiang Yilu gave her a bombshell news.

"There will be two days off next week for the school anniversary, which happens to be the weekend. The student union of the department is planning to organize a field trip to City C. Do you want to go?" Jiang Yilu winked at Tan Yin, "We're planning to live by the sea."

City C is not far from City A. It is a famous coastal city. The climate is pleasant at this time and it is most suitable for travel and vacation.

Jiang Yilu further explained: "The next major assignment for the design class is to build a high-end beach resort, so we plan to go to the beach in City C to collect inspiration, and the student union organizer said that some places are open to the public this time so that you can bring family members or friends." As Jiang Yilu spoke, he gave Tan Yin a look that said "you know what I mean."

The Department of Architecture has always had a tradition of conducting design field trips. However, although these field trips are under the guise of learning, they are actually half-tourism and half-relaxation vacations for students of the Department of Architecture. Every time they come back from a field trip, they naturally see a lot of buildings, but they can almost always arrange for a few couples internally. This time, they can openly bring friends who are not from the Department of Architecture to participate, which shows the good intentions of the student union organizers.

Tan Yin had just made up her mind to work hard on the next major design class assignment. She would naturally participate in this kind of field trip, but bringing a friend? She thought about it and decided to bring Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming usually stayed at home and had no entertainment activities. This time, she might as well ask him to bring his girlfriend to the beach to bask in the sun.

I called Zhou Ming, but he refused: "I really can't go next week. My girlfriend is sick and has left a lot of legal papers and case analyses unfinished. I have to help her catch up on the work. I really can't go next week."

"Okay, let's make an appointment next time."

"Come on, Tan Yin, come and help me take a look at this skirt. What do you think? Is it suitable for taking photos on the beach?"

As soon as she hung up the phone, Tan Yin was pulled over by Jiang Yilu. Both of them were looking forward to relaxing on the beach. Soon they had ordered a lot of things online and were looking forward to next week eagerly.

*****

Although she was looking forward to the field trip, Tan Yin was really determined this time. She spent all her free time studying during the past week. Because of her poor foundation, she could only study the difficult professional books bit by bit at the beginning. Although it was still boring, Tan Yin did not give up halfway this time. Once she got into the state, she slowly began to feel that she was getting better. Until she boarded the plane to City C, in the terminal, Tan Yin was still reading a professional book.

It was not until Jiang Yilu tugged at the corner of Tan Yin's clothes that she raised her head from the textbook.

Jiang Yilu nodded towards a place not far away, and Tan Yin followed her direction and saw Chu Hang walking towards them pushing a suitcase. Behind him was the gorgeously dressed Duan Yingfei, and on the other side was Xu Yu with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

Tan Yin was amazed: "Chu Hang is really amazing for bringing his family with him. It seems that he not only brought his girlfriend but also his boyfriend. He is enjoying the blessing of having two wives."

As soon as she finished her sigh, Duan Yingfei glared at her from a distance. It seemed that she had left an indelible impression in her heart, whether it was new or old. Xu Yu, on the other hand, waved to Tan Yin with a bright face, and Chu Hang…

Chu Hang was like a god who had descended to earth. He didn't even look at Tan Yin. He chose a seat very far away from Tan Yin and sat down with a stern face. Even though he was so cold and inhuman, his face was still very capable of fighting. Even with such a stinky expression on his face, he still looked poetic and beautiful.

Chu Hang really has the face of a male protagonist in a girls' comic. With his figure that is no less than that of a model, he is indeed very pleasing to the eye. Even his cold and hard-to-please personality is touted by many girls as a unique personality.

Tan Yin looked at Chu Hang twice again and couldn't help but sigh. If the construction industry was completely replaced by artificial intelligence in the future, Chu Hang would probably not be unemployed. With his looks, he should be popular as a catwalk model. After all, models are supposed to have expressionless faces and cold temperaments, and even have necrotic facial expressions like him. The uglier the model's face, the more popular he might be.

Fortunately, Tan Yin didn’t have any more time to think about these trivial things. Not long after, they boarded the plane, and the group flew to the beach of City C in excitement and anticipation.

The author has something to say: Starting tomorrow, manual highlighting will be restored and updated at 8 o'clock every night!

Small Theater

Xu Yu: Chu Hang, didn't you say you would never fall in love with Tan Yin? So what brought you together with her

Chu Hang looked hopeless: It’s electricity.

Xu Yu suddenly realized: What you mean is that you found that there is a special connection between you two

Chu Hang: It’s really just electricity.

Xu Yu:
