His breath tickled the again of his ear and Yi Zhize stated, “It was an opportunity assembly.”

“Oh, that is fairly a coincidence.” Ou Tingyun checked out Mu Xin and displayed simply the fitting well mannered smile, “I am sorry to interrupt you, however Mr. Yi is known as a bit busy at present and we’re going again to A Metropolis collectively. Proper, Zhize?”

“Let go.”

“What?”

“The wrist.”

“Did I harm you?”

Ou Tingyun frowned and took a more in-depth have a look at Yi Zhize’s proper wrist, which was certainly flushed with just a few pale purple fingerprints, “Shall I blow on it for you?”

“No want.” Yi Zhize pulled his wrist again from his grasp, “It is wonderful.”

Ou Tingyun mirrored on himself for some time, he did not assume he had used a lot power, did he?

Maybe Yi Zhize’s pores and skin was extra delicate and extra liable to marks?

The elevator beeped and reached the underground automobile park within the basement. Yi Zhize took the pc bag from Ou Tingyun: “I am going to take it.”

Ou Tingyun requested, “Zhize, what was the identify of that man simply now?”

“Mu Xin.”

When he received into the automobile and fixed his seat belt, Ou Tingyun stated, “From an expert standpoint, he might have some psychological issues.”

“Psychological well being is a dynamic idea, nobody is totally wholesome.”

“What about your self?”

The car pulled into the exit of the basement, the place the sunshine and darkness had been intertwined like a chaos of black and white.

“Do you need to hear the reality or the lie?”

“Why would I need to hear a lie?”

“Most individuals love falsehoods.”

“That is your prejudice,” Yi Zhize stated, “falsehoods do not final.”

“Zhize, you’re so easy, human nature is way darker than you assume.”

“How others are is none of my enterprise.”

“Okay, then I am going to let you know frankly.” Ou Tingyun’s voice was low, even a bit nice: “I’m maybe much more in poor health than you’re.”

Yi Zhize laughed in a low voice and raised his eyes to have a look at him, “Director Ou, I am going to take the freedom to remind you that you’re the psychiatrist and I’m your affected person.”

“That is true with regards to treating you.” The car pulled out of the underground storage and appeared to welcome the sunshine by means of the darkness. Ou Tingyun stated, “However not now.”

“And now, what’s it?”

“What do you assume?”

“What do I believe?”

“The connection between us.”

Yi Zhize spoke with a straight face, “Between us… it is a enterprise partnership, I am a lawyer and also you’re my shopper.”

“Zhize, are you intentionally offended with me?”

Yi Zhize feigned innocence and checked out him, “How may I be? Am I proper? Dr. Ou?”

“Sure, very proper, too proper.” Ou Tingyun requested him, “Do you may have plans for tonight? Let’s do one other hypnosis session.”

“Okay.”

“At your home or mine?”

The phrases had been spoken so matter-of-factly, as if the 2 of them had already been intimate.

Yi Zhize was misplaced in thought for a second, then stated softly, “Both is ok.”

Ou Tingyun thought for a second, “Let’s go to your home, in order that after the hypnosis, you possibly can go to sleep instantly.”

“I’ve another query.”

“Go forward.”

“What’s for dinner?”

“What do you need to eat?”

“I am going to eat no matter you make.”

“Okay.”

“Zhize is superior.”

“You do the dishes.”

“Deal.”

Arriving in A Metropolis, they went straight to Yi Zhize’s residence.

After dinner, the 2 of them went to the research.

Yi Zhize took an envelope out of the drawer and handed it to Ou Tingyun: “That is the primary letter I acquired.”

Ou Tingyun opened the envelope and took out the picture from inside.

It was a avenue scene from B Metropolis.

On the again of the picture was a line of small letters: [September 29, 2002, Lijing Road]

Ou Tingyun sat beside him, “You talked about earlier than that you just acquired a complete of three letters, what in regards to the different one?”

“It is gone.” Yi Zhize stated indifferently, “I burnt it.”

Ou Tingyun immediately recalled the evening not way back when he noticed him smoking: “Was it that day?”

“I do not know, I do not bear in mind.” Yi Zhize frowned, “Do not need to bear in mind both.”

“Okay,” sensing his nervousness, Ou Tingyun soothingly stated, “it is okay, then we cannot speak about that. Zhize, would you want to speak to me about what you bear in mind?”

Within the silence of the evening, Yi Zhize’s eyes had been downcast, his face hidden at nighttime mild.

At this second, his face was getting paler and paler, but it surely made the teardrop mole on the nook of his eye much more vivid and exquisite.

A very long time handed, so lengthy that Ou Tingyun thought he wouldn’t reply the query once more.

Yi Zhize’s tone was calm and husky: “The pictures from that evening all the time seem in my desires. However there are solely fragments, I am unable to see the individuals, and I am unable to bear in mind the sequence of occasions. There is just one factor that’s sure.”

At this level, he intentionally paused and raised his eyes to have a look at Ou Tingyun: “My mom died on September 29, 2002, on Lijing Street. It was a automobile accident, in entrance of me.”

“Was it an accident?”

“En, it was stated to be attributable to drunk driving by the motive force concerned.”

“And what was the motive of the one that despatched you these letters? Did you may have an issue with somebody in B Metropolis?”

“I do not know, I do not bear in mind.” Yi Zhize frowned, “I left B Metropolis after my mom died, it was my grandfather who raised me in A Metropolis.”

“What about your father?”

“Due to my mom’s loss of life, there was all the time a rift between my grandfather and him and we hardly ever contacted one another.”

Ou Tingyun put the 2 letters collectively, “Zhize, may or not it’s malicious revenge? Somebody in a earlier case you dealt with was sad with you and despatched a letter to intimidate you, to create nervousness for you.”

“Maybe.” Yi Zhize whispered, “Trainer, I am drained.”

“Okay, that is it for at present, I am going to hypnotise you.”

“En.” Yi Zhize took his jacket off and laid again in opposition to the couch.

Ou Tingyun gently blindfolded him and whispered steering in his ear.

Yi Zhize quickly fell right into a state, falling into an unconscious slumber underneath his steering.

“What are you taking a look at?” You Shirui took a more in-depth look, “Ah, Mr. Yi’s case evaluation report!”

“En.”

“Trainer, you’re so partial! There are such a lot of sufferers in our division, and people who need to register with you possibly can queue up from A Metropolis to B Metropolis, however you’re so beneficiant to spend all of your ideas on Mr. Yi.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Ou Tingyun immediately requested, “Have you ever analysed his state of affairs fastidiously?”

“That is for certain. I would need to analyse Mr. Yi inside and outside, simply due to his magnificence.”

“Do not be poor,” stated Ou Tingyun, “I think that his situation is said to psychogenic amnesia.”
