Fantasy and Depth

On Monday morning, Yi Zhize was in his workplace coping with his work.

An Rong knocked on the clear glass door earlier than pulling it open and strolling straight in: “Barrister Yi, what are you engaged on?”

Yi Zhize raised his eyes from his papers, “Good morning.”

An Rong was Yi Zhize’s associate and buddy for a few years.

She was wearing a trendy and delightful method with out dropping her dignity, had a cheerful and assured character, was clever and eloquent, and was well-known within the authorized and political circles of A Metropolis.

It is uncommon to search out somebody who may be buddies with Yi Zhize due to his detached temperament and his refusal to let folks in.

Nonetheless, An Rong has managed to take action, and sometimes defends Yi Zhize within the circle, saying: “Our Mr. Yi has beauty and expertise. He has a high-calibre popularity, and is known as the flower of the excessive mountain, so he is very beneficial, you realize? He is nonetheless single, so if any of you’ve got an appropriate match, are you able to introduce him?”

At this second, An Rong had simply completed a case and received the lawsuit. She was in excessive spirits and mentioned to Yi Zhize, “I’ve received one other case! I am 999 instances away from catching up with you!”

Yi Zhize knew that she was intentionally exaggerating and smiled flippantly, “Congratulations.”

“Thanks!” Taking a look at his state, An Rong guessed that he did not need to make small speak, so she correctly obtained all the way down to enterprise: “You have got a customer, and he is ready for you. I’ve come to remind you, in case you’ve got been busy and forgotten once more.”

Yi Zhize appeared on the time, “There are nonetheless 10 minutes earlier than the appointment time, I will not be late.”

An Rong shrugged, “I do know you’re at all times on time.”

When Yi Zhize arrived on the reception room on time, he did not anticipate to see Ou Tingyun right here in any respect.

He took a more in-depth take a look at the customer’s data once more; the registrant was Du Wenkang, the authorized consultant of Sihai Hospital. The entrusted case was a dispute over patent rights, mental property rights, and popularity rights.

He immediately realised that the holder of the patent was most likely Ou Tingyun and that Du Wenkang was simply the pinnacle of the hospital.

When the 2 events met, Du Wenkang took the initiative to introduce himself, “Good morning, Mr. Yi. I’m Du Wenkang from Sihai Hospital and that is Dr. Ou Tingyun.”

A playful smile held on Ou Tingyun’s lips as he whispered, “Mr. Yi, good to satisfy you.”

In an effort to facilitate the cooperation, Du Wenkang did his finest to flatter him, “Dr. Ou Tingyun is the chief doctor of the hospital affiliated to the medical college, and a professor on the medical college! One of the authoritative figures within the psychology discipline in Metropolis A!”

Yi Zhize’s smile was gentle: “Professor Ou, good to satisfy you.”

Du Wenkang bragged once more, “Director Ou, the person in entrance of you, Yi Zhize, is not any bizarre individual both. For those who ask round within the authorized circles of Metropolis A, there is no such thing as a one who can overshadow him when it comes to capability and appears.”

Ou Tingyun provided him his hand: “It is higher to see him than to listen to about him. I am impressed by his type.”

Yi Zhize reached out to shake his hand, “You’re too variety.”

The case was clear: Ou Tingyun’s newest remedy patent for consuming problems had been transferred to Du Wenkang of Sihai Hospital. Not too long ago, Du Wenkang had found {that a} competitor had stolen this patent with out permission and needed to fee Yi Zhize to sue him.

After the dialogue, it was already time for lunch.

Du Wenkang provided to deal with the 2 of them to lunch.

Yi Zhize was going to refuse, however due to Ou Tingyun, he modified his thoughts on the spot: “Not for lunch, however for dinner.”

Du Wenkang requested, “Does Director Ou have time within the night?”

Ou Tingyun kindly mentioned, “I am going to do what Yi Zhize says.”

The information that Yi Zhize had agreed to have dinner along with his shopper instantly unfold all through the workplace. This was an unprecedented first!

An Rong instantly ran to Yi Zhize, “Yi Yi, I heard that you just agreed to have dinner with the shopper from Sihai Hospital? You were not possessed, had been you?”

Yi Zhize: “No.”

An Rong instantly breathed a sigh of aid: “So it wasn’t a promise, they did all the pieces they may to unfold the phrase blindly.” (Angel: The promise used was 答应, which it the title of feminine eunuchs and palace maids within the Ming Dynasty. I imagine the writer was making a joke about being possessed by one in all them and so they agreed to the dinner.)

Yi Zhize: “I did not get possessed.”

An Rong froze: “May or not it’s that you’ve a crush on that man, Du Wenkang?”

Yi Zhize: “No approach.”

An Rong pursued, “Blah blah blah, Du Wenkang like that, certainly unimaginable. May or not it’s that you’ve a crush on Ou Tingyun?”

Yi Zhize’s eyes flashed, “Thoughts your personal enterprise.” (Angel: He mentioned this in English)

An Rong swallowed, her temper uncontrollably excited: her previous associate, has the iron tree lastly blossomed??

———

That night time, on the appointed time, Yi Zhize arrived on the Western restaurant.

Nevertheless it was solely Ou Tingyun.

When he did not ask, Ou Tingyun defined, “Du Wenkang had one thing surprising come up and could not come, however the meal was placed on his tab. Such a coincidence that it was truly Mr. Yi who took my case. What would you wish to eat?”

Yi Zhize was solely right here for Ou Tingyun, he did not care concerning the others: “It does not matter what we eat. It is solely been a day since I left your house and my insomnia has positively subsided, however the anxiousness stage continues to be the identical as ever.”

Ou Tingyun added two steaks, some dinner buns, dessert and wine to the digital order: “You’re so skinny, you might want to eat extra.”

“I heard at present that you’ve a patent for consuming problems. Professor, how about attempting that patent of yours on me?”

Ou Tingyun smiled, “Zhize, name me instructor, not professor.”

“Does it make any distinction?”

“After all, professor is simply my job title. In counselling relationships, my guests usually discuss with me as instructor. Do you’ve got any taboos?”

“No.”

Ou Tingyun completed putting his order and continued the place he left off, “Do you’ve got an consuming dysfunction?”

“Not precisely…”

“I see, I feel you’re referring to the lack of urge for food because of the results of tension.”

“En.”

“And even together with your insomnia, the basis trigger continues to be anxiousness.”

“Sure.”

“Nervousness dysfunction syndromes are divided into panic dysfunction, generalised anxiousness, social anxiousness, particular fears, obsessive-compulsive dysfunction, and stress dysfunction. Which one do you belong to, Zhize?”

“What you mentioned is so tutorial, I do not know, perhaps all of them.”

Ou Tingyun opened the purple wine: “Have a drink?”

“Okay.”

When the glass was a 3rd full, Yi Zhize pushed again and mentioned, “That is sufficient.”

“That is solely a bit, how gentle is Mr. Yi’s alcohol tolerance?”

“En.”

Ou Tingyun clinked glasses with him, “Advanced anxiousness syndromes are usually extra problematic. Maybe it’s kind of presumptuous to ask, however Zhize, have you ever ever had a traumatic expertise?”

Yi Zhize silently took a sip of his wine: “So what if I’ve?”

“The one strategy to eliminate this syndrome is to eliminate the trauma as soon as and for all.”

“Not possible.” Yi Zhize’s tone was calm, “It could possibly’t be executed.”

Ou Tingyun checked out him significantly, “Why are you so positive?”

“There is no such thing as a purpose.”

“You have got a alternative… Belief me.”

Yi Zhize’s eyes had been chilly: “If I did not belief you, I would not have come tonight. However there are limits to belief, and I am sorry I can not inform you the rest.”

Ou Tingyun smiled helplessly, “I am sorry for being abrupt. Let’s not point out the explanations, we are able to additionally begin immediately with the outcomes. There are a number of therapies for anxiousness, would you be inquisitive about attempting them?”

“In right here?”

“After all not. After dinner, at my place.”

Yi Zhize was bowled over by this assertion; he was self-conscious of their relationship, which didn’t appear to have reached this stage.

How might Ou Tingyun not perceive his response, however he nonetheless intentionally added, “Or, it will be high-quality to go to your own home.”

For the whole meal afterwards, Yi Zhize fell into a definite silence.

Ou Tingyun was having fun with his dinner whereas secretly observing, additionally having fun with himself.

It was solely when the meal was over that Yi Zhize made his determination, “Let’s go to your own home.”

Ou Tingyun could not assist however smile, “Okay.”

His place was in a villa by the ocean in A Metropolis.

He took the person into the remedy room and closed the door, and the environment fell silent.

Ou Tingyun requested Yi Zhize about his desire for music and, with permission, performed a soothing piano piece.

For a medical fanatic obsessive about the human psyche, Yi Zhize was a uncommon and ideal topic for research.

He was like an enigma: delicate, fragile and hard.

He was additionally like a locked treasure field. What would be the shock when he opens it?

Ou Tingyun was trying ahead to that day.

He smiled a mild, innocent smile, “Zhize, do you are feeling uncomfortable on this atmosphere?”

“No.”

“Good, then shall we start?”
