- "Rose Boy"
Zheng Mengran had a special visitor at her clinic, someone familiar.
"Speaking of special, it's not that there is any special connection between them, but the girl's outfit is quite different from the last time Zheng Mengran saw her. Her jet-black long hair has been cut into a bob, held back with a black headband, and she wears an earring on her left ear. Despite this, she is dressed in a pristine white long dress, giving off a sense of both heroism and elegance.
After sitting down, the girl smiled and greeted Zheng Mengran, placing her hands flat on her knees. The July sun poured in through the window, but it couldn't warm her pale complexion."
"Su Xiao, don't be nervous, you can say whatever you want."
Zheng Mengran noticed the girl's unease and, after glancing at the name on the medical record, comforted her in her usual gentle tone. Every patient who comes to the psychological clinic needs someone to reach out and help them slowly reveal their wounds and untie those knots.
"Doctor, do you think my outfit is strange?"
Su Xiao's first words made Zheng Mengran's heart tremble. The calmness in the words was a far cry from the timidity of hiding behind others when they first met six months ago. Inside and out, it was as if she had become a different person.
"Why would you say that?"
Zheng Mengran is unclear about Su Xiao's intentions, so she can only use questioning to slowly probe her inner thoughts. What kind of situation could cause such a dramatic change in a person's life in just six months?
"When I arrived, I noticed people whispering and casting strange glances at me."
Su Xiao seemed to casually state the situation, but Zheng Mengran could hear the helplessness and a kind of inexplicable indifference in the words.
This girl doesn't care about how others see her, Zheng Mengran noticed.
"So your feeling is..."
Even though she could sense Su Xiao's attitude, Zheng Mengran still wanted to make an effort to get closer to the girl whose heart remained tightly closed at the moment, stopping at just the right moment and throwing the conversation back to the girl.
"Every time like this, I think of what Mei said, it's too hard to be a qualified person in the eyes of others, being yourself is the easiest."
Su Xiao responded with a smile, brushing the hair blown into her ear by the air conditioning with her left hand, and speaking her inner thoughts. Meanwhile, her right hand, resting on her knee, slowly grasped her skirt.
This person named " Mei " should be someone very important to the girl. Zheng Mengran thought to herself as she observed Su Xiao's emotional fluctuations, and at the same time, a girl's figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
Half a year ago, Zheng Mengran's clinic was invited to provide psychological counseling at Twelfth Middle School in the city. Most of the students had the attitude of not needing to attend the session and just casually looking around, not paying much attention to it. Among the students in blue and white school uniforms coming and going, two stood out.
One was Su Xiao, along with a slightly taller girl who was with her at the time. It's been a while, so Zheng Mengran can only recall her basic outline, remembering that she, like the current Su Xiao, had short hair, possibly even shorter.
If Su Xiao's heroic spirit is dressed up, then that girl's heroic spirit is formed by her natural appearance, and a slight carelessness could easily be mistaken for a boy's level.
The girl was holding Su Xiao's hand as if persuading him, trying to lead him into the psychology classroom. It was at that moment that Zheng Mengran saw Su Xiao fearfully hiding behind the girl, took a quick glance at the psychologist inside, and quickly looked away.
That girl seemed to be at a loss, sighed, patted Su Xiao's head, said something to her, and then they walked away holding hands.
"Do you remember when you came to our school to provide psychological counseling, doctor?"
Su Xiao took a deep breath, as if preparing to go all out, and opened up a corner of his heart.
Zheng Mengran saw that Su Xiao took the initiative to bring up the topic, and understood somewhat in her heart, nodding in response.
"The people with me at the time were Mei and Lin Meiluo."
Su Xiao held onto her skirt tightly, still wearing a smile on her face, even though the smile was filled with bitterness and loneliness, showing that this girl was very important to her.
Zheng Mengran understood in her heart that Su Xiao's emotional burden was probably related to a girl named Lin Meiluo. The next sentence from Su Xiao made the pen she had just picked up fall onto the table, creating a jarring sound in the small space.
"She committed suicide last month, by jumping off a building."
Su Xiao's eye sockets turned red all of a sudden, but she still forced herself to face the situation, her fingers gripping her skirt tightly. After taking a deep breath again, she managed to calm down a little.
A chill ran down Zheng Mengran's back. She wasn't sure if the air conditioning was set too low, but the air in the room suddenly seemed to freeze.
Although Zheng Mengran didn't have much of an impression of Lin Meiluo, she remembered seeing her comforting Su Xiao in the classroom, and now she had become so cold. "Back then, when we were talking outside the classroom, it was actually her... She advised me to seek psychological counseling, worried that suppressing my emotions for too long would... would not be good for me..."
Su Xiao was immersed in her memories of the day she first met Zheng Mengran, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but choke up. Her hands trembled as she took the tissue from Zheng Mengran and softly said, "Thank you."
"So why didn't you listen to her advice?"
Zheng Mengran calmed Su Xiao's emotions and gently encouraged her to release the pain in her heart. This girl's wounds should be more than just the loss of a friend.
"Because at that time, I was still very timid and scared. Although Mei was with me, I didn't dare... to dig out the pain deep inside and show it to others... just thinking about it made me feel uncomfortable... so I refused."
Su Xiao Wiping away the fallen tears, I choked up for a while before finally finishing my words.
Zheng Mengran Tried my best to make my eyes as gentle as possible, patiently listening to the girl as she opened up about the scars in her heart.
