"The truth is, right now, you’re in my arms." He lowered his head, his moist and soft lips landed on her lips, face, and forehead.
He, without a shirt on, exuded the cool and sophisticated scent of shower gel.
...
That day.
The autumn sky was clear and the clouds were light, and the breeze was gentle.
At the National University of Science and Technology, in Ning Youguang’s office.
The couple, who always shirked responsibility when discussing core issues, were briefly sent outside the room.
Ning Youguang squatted next to the boy who appeared as frail as a child, though he was already a teenager, and gently asked:
"Xiao Qi, now that your parents are outside, can you tell the teacher, what is the most morable thing before you vomited for the first ti?"
Xiao Qi was the child whom Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue had encountered at a hotel in Europe, the one who would vomit whenever he ate.
...
Previously in Europe, the hypnosis Ning Youguang perford on the child had been effective.
So, after returning to the country, this couple contacted her.
Today was the day Ning Youguang officially started a case with this child.
After about an hour of in-depth conversation with Xiao Qi’s parents, Ning Youguang had a clearer understanding of the child’s original family situation.
Xiao Qi was born into a very wealthy family in Guangdong Province and was quite pampered at ho.
More accurately, it shouldn’t be called pampered.
It should be said—he was the apple of their family’s eye.
Guangdong Province is a region that values the inheritance of offspring, where most local families are prosperous in their progeny.
But Xiao Qi’s family was slightly different; they were the only child for four generations.
By the ti of Xiao Qi’s father’s generation, having descendants beca even more difficult.
Because Xiao Qi’s father had azoospermia.
After Xiao Qi’s father and mother married, they spent countless money, took nurous dications, and underwent nurous injections before using technology to have Xiao Qi.
It was said that after having Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi’s mother’s health deteriorated significantly.
It can be said that Xiao Qi’s birth destined him to be extrely doted upon at ho.
The situation indeed was such; Xiao Qi was deeply cherished at ho, his parents, including his grandparents, adored him beyond asure.
So much so that when Xiao Qi’s health issue arose, the entire family was very worried.
The whole family took him to nurous doctors because of his illness.
However, it was of no use.
Otherwise, Xiao Qi’s problem wouldn’t have persisted for two years without being cured.
...
Their unexpected encounter with Ning Youguang at the holiday hotel in Europe was a chance incident.
But it was this chance that gave Ning Youguang the opportunity to treat Xiao Qi, allowing him to eat normally the very day after being hypnotized.
This brought imnse joy to Xiao Qi’s parents and gave them hope of a cure for Xiao Qi.
Especially since Xiao Qi’s condition improved significantly over the following month compared to the past two years.
This fird Xiao Qi’s parents’ resolve to take him northward to the National University to seek out Teacher Ning for diagnosis after returning to the country.
Thus, the scene in front of us ca to be.
...
According to Ning Youguang’s perspective, if it wasn’t due to Xiao Qi’s original family, his situation after being hypnotized once should have been better than what is seen now.
She hasn’t ntioned this to Xiao Qi’s parents yet.
Because the more thoroughly she understands Xiao Qi’s original family, the more she realizes that the only way to resolve Xiao Qi’s psychological issues is to start at the root.
And given Xiao Qi’s parents’ personalities, it is not yet the ti for her to confront them.
...
Quietly waiting for quite a while,
Xiao Qi slowly said, "Dad and Mom often fight at ho, and that ti was the sa. They fought so fiercely that Dad smashed everything at ho. He even hit Mom with a chair, making her cry terribly. I was so scared then, I climbed to the window, thinking of jumping down so I wouldn’t have to see them fighting ever again."
As he spoke, he cried, his tears falling like broken beads onto his neck and clothes.
In Ning Youguang’s mind, images continuously erged from his account—of a couple fighting at ho, dostic violence, and a scared young child climbing onto the window sill, intent on jumping down...
What kind of despair is this?
Ning Youguang felt a bit suffocated, yet she tried her best to control her emotions.
She is a psychological counselor now, no matter how much it hurts inside, she must stay composed.
Otherwise, it might distract the child’s thoughts.
"Later, it was Dad who first saw standing on the windowsill, he imdiately ran over and carried down. After carrying down, they stopped fighting."
"And then?" Ning Youguang gently asked.
"Then, a week or so later, I started vomiting." The child, after being bewildered for a mont, slowly lowered his head and said.
...
Ning Youguang understood.
There is a term in psychology called "somatization symptoms."
It refers to a person having emotional problems or psychological disorders, but without psychological symptoms manifesting, they are instead converted into various bodily symptoms.
Psychoanalysis views the formation of somatization as a subconscious process, whereby individuals transform their internal conflicts or contradictions into visceral or autonomic nervous system dysfunctions, thereby escaping their dilemma.
By using somatization symptoms to replace inner unpleasantness, it relieves emotional and psychological pressure and pain; this is also a way for patients to achieve the suppression of subconscious psychological goals.
Just like in reality, many people experience symptoms in one of their bodily organs every ti they encounter unpleasantness psychologically.
And Xiao Qi’s issue, quite clearly, is a manifestation of somatization symptoms.
Just as Ning Youguang was contemplating, the child sitting in the chair cautiously asked:
"Teacher, is my vomiting related to my parents arguing, or is it related to wanting to jump off the windowsill?"
