“I had no other appointments in the afternoon, you don’t have to feel bad about it,” Gu Xingyun took the blazer with a smile and hung it up.

 “But…” she shouldn’t have occupied his place and time either.

 “Take a seat, let’s talk about your test results,” Gu Xingyun didn’t give her the chance to mull it over.

 Recalling the purpose of her visit, Tang Xin sat in front of him a little anxiously, her clear eyes looking at him with both urgency and fear.

 “Don’t be nervous,” Gu Xingyun gave her a reassuring smile again before opening the file in which he had recorded her test just then. “I have read your previous files in detail. You don’t come often, unless there was something unusual.”

 Tang Xin reflexively moved her gaze elsewhere, as those warm eyes seemed to have seen through her.

 “Tell me, are you under a lot of pressure lately? What kind of pressure is it? Will you cooperate with me?” Gu Xingyun guided her with a smile.

 “I…” Tang Xin looked at him and held back her words.

 Could she really tell him?

 “I can only help you if you tell me,” Gu Xingyun encouraged her.

 Maybe it was his warm eyes and with his gentle encouragement, Tang Xin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and mustered the courage to speak of the fear in her heart.

 “A girl, whenever I close my eyes, I see a girl with blood all over, she… was grabbing my neck… Ah!!”

 She opened her eyes in horror, her face pale.

 Since the girl’s photo had been placed on the bedside table, within a few days, she would see this image whenever she closed her eyes.

 “It’s okay, it’s okay now,” Gu Xingyun quickly held her hand and calmed her down.

 Tang Xin gradually calmed down. Realizing that her hand was being held by a man, she quickly drew it back.

 “I’m sorry,” Gu Xingyun apologized politely before continuing, “Your mental stress has caused you to be too nervous and have such hallucinations. Take this back and wear it at night, and you won’t see things that you don’t want to see. Don’t think too much, relax as much as you can, and let yourself sleep peacefully, all right? ”

 With an eye mask in her hand, Tang Xin froze.

 Right, why hadn’t she think of wearing an eye mask so that she wouldn’t see that photo even if she opened her eyes?

 “Thank you,” she thanked him sincerely, and glanced at the files below his hand again. After a long hesitation, she asked, “Do I…”

 “There’s nothing wrong with you at all,” Gu Xingyun passed the test file to her, and then softly explained the test results in detail to her.

 After explaining and seeing her heave a sigh of relief, he couldn’t help but laugh, “You are oversensitive because you are too nervous, don’t imagine things and don’t be affected by gossip, just believe in yourself.”

 Tang Xin was stunned, and she looked at him with her clear, bright eyes. How had he known that she was troubled over gossip? How had he known that the reason she couldn’t sleep was most likely because she was afraid of seeing things she didn’t want to see?

 Could a psychologist also read a person’s mind?

 Otherwise, there was only one possibility—he clearly remembered her!

 “I’m leaving, thank you, Doctor Gu!” With her guard up, Tang Xin took her bag and left.

 “Xinxin!”

 She stopped suddenly, froze on the spot, and grabbed her bag tightly. She didn’t look back but just showed a mocking smile, “Senior, even you think it’s fun to tease me?

 “Xinxin, you would have run away if I hadn’t done this. It is because I understand the sensitivity inside you that I didn’t acknowledge you right away…” Gu Xingyun walked behind her in a few steps, placed his hands on her shoulders, and gently turned her around…
