"Okay." Ye Jin said seriously, "You are my wife, and this is what you should do."

You are my wife... Xia An was at a loss for words. She just said it casually. Who knew that Ye Jin would answer so seriously, especially the second half of the sentence.

They just agreed to get married and signed it in black and white. Sometimes Ye Jin herself ignored this point. She realized that her statement was not rigorous enough. Later, she added an explanation with a meticulous attitude, "During the agreement, I will bear all your expenses."

expenses.”

Therefore, it is always an agreement.

Xia An helplessly looked at Ye Jin on the bed and said stubbornly, "No need."

With Xia An's temper, Ye Jin also expected such an answer.

The relationship between the two at this time was indescribably delicate.

Before signing the contract, Ye Jin thought she would maintain an absolutely pure contractual relationship with Xia An, and Xia An thought so too.

In fact, neither of them did it.

No one has the right to judge anyone else, and they agreed not to interfere in each other's private lives, but they both crossed the line again and again, and willingly allowed the other to get closer to them.

Their current relationship is far more complicated than what was stipulated in the agreement. In other words, there is a lot of ambiguity between them that should not be there. Xia An and Ye Jin are not slow and are more or less aware of this problem.

Look at each other for a moment.

Xia An smiled and said, "Get up, I'll go down first."

"Yes." Ye Jin lowered her head and responded softly. When Xia An turned around to leave, she raised her head and looked at his thin back until he disappeared from her eyes.

Ye Jin leaned on the bedside and thought thoughtfully for a while. He couldn't help but think of Xia An's smile and the hug just now, which he couldn't get rid of.

In the blink of an eye, November has passed, and it is already early winter in Nancheng.

The sky is gray and overcast, the cemetery in the suburbs is empty and desolate, and a cold wind is blowing, making it much colder than in the city.

Standing in the cold wind, Ye Jin held a bouquet of lilies in one hand and put his other hand in his pocket, looking at the black and white photo on the tombstone. His slender figure was tightly wrapped in a black coat, but he still couldn't help but feel the chill.

The young woman in the photo is Ye Jin's mother. Ye Jin looks down on her and looks down on her cowardice.

Ye Jin's mother was only thirty-two years old when she committed suicide. Her age was always fixed at thirty-two, which is Ye Jin's current age. Ye Jin still remembers when she was only seven or eight years old. Since then, she has

I have been living with my grandma and aunt.

There is nothing that time cannot fade.

More than twenty years have passed, even if it is life or death, it is time to let go. Ye Jin also feels that she has let go. The anger and sadness have become the past, but it is those past events that have cast an indelible shadow in her heart. For many years

After that, he was still a shadow in her life.

It won't break you, but it will feel like a chronic torture.

Ye Jin placed the lilies in his hand in front of the tomb, stood alone for a moment, then turned and left.

After leaving the cemetery, Ye Jin drove to a private villa in the suburbs. The style was elegant and elegant. If you pay attention, you will find that the decoration is quite Zen-like.

It's a good place to relax and have a rest.

In the living room on the first floor, a long-haired woman was leisurely making tea. When she heard footsteps coming from the path outside the house, she stood up and said with a smile, "You are still as punctual as ever."

"Know that your time is valuable."

"Wherever, even if you don't do consultations, Mr. Ye is always welcome to come."

Ye Jin just smiled politely and didn't say much.

The woman in front of her is called Ji Shuang, Ye Jin's personal psychiatrist, and she has known her for several years. No one else knows that Ye Jin has been in contact with the psychiatrist, and not many people would believe her if she told her.

Ji Shuang charges by the minute, which is expensive. Ye Jin said that her time is precious, and she is indeed right.

In the reception room on the second floor, Ji Shuang made a pot of green tea. She smiled and asked Ye Jin, "How are things going recently? Have you made any breakthrough?"

When she met Ye Jin, Ji Shuang felt that she had faced the biggest challenge of her career. She was already well-known in the industry and had an excellent reputation. However, when dealing with Ye Jin's case, the results were very little, almost negligible.

"have."

Ji Shuang thought Ye Jin would still say no like before, but she suddenly became interested, "Can you accept close contact?"

"Um."

"To what extent?"

"Hug..." Ye Jin thought about every bit of contact with Xia An. She found it incredible. Before, she felt uncomfortable even holding hands with others, let alone hugging.

When Ji Shuang heard this, she realized that this was more than a small breakthrough for Ye Jin. She continued to understand Ye Jin's situation and collect information, "Then do you still feel disgusted and sick?"

"No." Xia An's face appeared in Ye Jin's mind, but it had nothing to do with disgust. She told Ji Shuang truthfully.

"Do you remember things from the past?"

"Yes, but I still don't hate hugging her."

She Ji Shuang extracted a key point, "When you talk about hugs, do you mean a specific person?"

"Only when I'm close to her, I don't feel so disgusted. Even..." Ye Jin thought about it for a moment and said, "We can sleep in the same bed."

"Should I congratulate you?" Hearing what Ye Jin said, Ji Shuang asked tentatively, "Are you in love?"

Ye Jindan denied it calmly, "No."

"The 'him' you are talking about, is it someone you have known for a long time, or is it someone you have just met?"

"New acquaintance."

"Have you been in contact for a while?"

"Um."

"how long?"

"We met in September."

Ji Shuang played with the pen in her hand and sorted out the elements of Ye Jin's words in her mind, "I'll make a bold guess. It's just my guess. Let's see if you think it makes sense."

"You can have close contact with 'him', probably because you subconsciously have a good impression of 'him'. Theoretically speaking, when a person has a good impression of another person, the tolerance will increase. So when you take the initiative to overcome your own obstacles

, when you try to accept the other person's closeness, you will unexpectedly find that this is not too difficult, at least not as difficult as you imagined. I have also said before that overcoming your own psychological barriers to take the first step

This is the most difficult step." Ji Shuang continued to analyze, "Also, when you get along with 'him', you should be in a relatively comfortable state, right? Otherwise, it is impossible for someone you have known for a short time to be in a relationship with him.

Even if I hit your minefield, I can still continue to have contact with you."

Sleeping in the same bed is already a very intimate category.

Ye Jin did not deny what Ji Shuang said.

"Does what I say make sense?"

"That's right." Ye Jin admitted.

"Changing the question, do you have any thoughts or impulses about further development of 'him'?"

"Do you think I like her?" Ye Jin heard what Ji Shuang meant.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"She is just a little girl, almost ten years younger than me..." Ye Jin felt that she paid attention to Xia An and helped Xia An again and again because she was young and had the shadow of her own youth. In addition, she

and Xia An can indeed each get what they need.

"You don't need to explain anything, just answer yes or no."

Ye Jin fell silent.

"You don't have to hide anything from me. You can answer whatever you want."

Ye Jin thought calmly, and after a moment, "... maybe there is."

Maybe there is. Ji Shuang smiled happily. She had been in contact with Ye Jin for so long. This was the first time she saw Ye Jin being so hesitant. In fact, the hesitant reaction just showed that she had put her thoughts on it.

"It's not easy to meet someone you love."

Heartbeat...

Ye Jin never attributed his different treatment of Xia An to his heart, but Ji Shuang's analysis seemed to be correct.

Ji Shuang always felt that it would be good for Ye Jin to have an open-hearted relationship, but she just limited herself too much to her own inherent thinking and always felt that she was destined to die alone.

"You can try to relax, don't think too much, don't deliberately restrain your thoughts and impulses, just follow your feelings."

"There are some things I can't do, you know that."

"But didn't you come to me just because you 'can't do it' and want to change? I've said many times that when it comes to relationships, you can't have a resistant attitude from the beginning, because you won't be able to change it.

Besides, high-quality love will bring about many positive changes. Just like now, don’t you dislike hugging others? This is a good start.”

"Really?" Ye Jin naturally hopes that his situation can change, otherwise he will not come to see Ji Shuang often.

"Of course, this is a step-by-step process. In fact, besides me, you can occasionally talk to others..."

After chatting with Ji Shuang for almost two hours, Ye Jin got up and left in the evening.

"Ye Jin." When Ye Jin was about to leave, Ji Shuang suddenly stopped her.

Ye Jin turned around.
