After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Are You Not Happy?

“Ahem… Mr. Song, just now Mrs. Song merely choked on water accidentally; you don’t need to be so anxious,” Doctor Tian’s gentle words made Lu Zhaozhao’s little face turn red again.

She couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth upward and continued to speak to Song Sinian, “I know you and your wife are very close, but I think she might need some personal time to have a chat with me as a psychologist.”

When Lu Zhaozhao heard the words “psychologist,” she suddenly lifted her head, “You’re a psychologist?”

Doctor Tian was taken aback, “Uh… didn’t he tell you?”

Lu Zhaozhao shook her head, then shifted her gaze toward Song Sinian.

He only said he was taking her to see a doctor; he never mentioned a psychologist!

No wonder Doctor Tian kept saying that she needed regular check-ups.

Perhaps Qian Hong told Song Sinian about her and Xiao Jinglan’s conversation?

In her previous life, unaware of the truth, she had indeed suffered greatly and certainly needed psychological guidance, but now that she understood the experiences at the Lu Family were not her fault, the pain from the past would only fuel her revenge!

Song Sinian pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and slowly began to explain, “Doctor Tian is a friend of my mother and also my psychologist; she’s very experienced, and you can trust her.”

Upon hearing the word “mother,” Lu Zhaozhao seemed to have a sudden reaction and instinctively became alert.

Doctor Tian noticed this and quickly added, “I am a friend of his birth mother, sort of like a half-elder to him.”

“Oh, I see.” Lu Zhaozhao visibly relaxed.

She had thought Doctor Tian was also Xiao Jinglan’s person; thankfully, she was not.

Watching the expressions changing on her little face, Song Sinian slightly furrowed his brows and pinched her small face to turn it toward him, seriously asking, “Are you unhappy?”

“???”

Lu Zhaozhao, recalling Song Sinian’s similar action at the dinner table previously, couldn’t help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.

She awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “No, I’m not unhappy.”

Hearing this, Song Sinian finally let go of her face and slowly stood up, turning to Doctor Tian to say, “Then I entrust my wife to you.”

With those words, he left the room again.

For a moment, the whole consultation room was eerily quiet.

Doctor Tian stared at her without speaking a word.

She coughed gently, trying to break the silence in the room, “Ahem… Doctor Tian, what did you want to talk about just now?”

Doctor Tian suddenly snapped back to reality, chuckling lightly, “Let’s talk about your childhood… treat it like casually telling a story, just say whatever you want to say.”

Lu Zhaozhao was somewhat surprised at how quickly Doctor Tian slipped into her role, but she wasn’t ready to start what was dubbed ‘psychological treatment.’

“Doctor Tian, may I ask you some questions?” Lu Zhaozhao pondered for a moment before slowly speaking up.

Doctor Tian nodded, “As long as it’s within my ability, I can tell you.”

Her tone was still very gentle, sounding inexplicably soothing.

Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, looking seriously at Doctor Tian, “I want to know, how to communicate with someone who has emotional expression disorder.”

“…”

Her question clearly took Doctor Tian aback, a complex expression passing briefly through her eyes.

But that emotion quickly dissipated.

She still smiled gently, speaking softly, “People with alexithymia may not be able to express their emotions, but that doesn’t mean they’re unwilling to communicate.”

The profound statement from Tian Xiangjun made Lu Zhaozhao involuntarily frown, “But… because emotions are not shared, there could be many misunderstandings.”

Every time she thought about her recent interactions with Song Sinian, it seemed he always misunderstood her actions, even just a moment ago…

Thankfully, Song Sinian had mentioned that if it had been another public setting, he would have acted the same way…

At that thought, Lu Zhaozhao’s face flushed with embarrassment again.

Her hands uncontrollably clasped her own cheeks, feeling utterly ashamed!

Tian Xiangjun, observing her reaction, couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, “Actually, communicating with someone who has alexithymia is simple: just say what you need to say, ask for what you need, and they should do the same. This can avoid a lot of misunderstandings.”

Lu Zhaozhao pondered and found it made sense.

Song Sinian was just bad at expressing emotions, but it seemed he rarely rejected her requests.

Thinking about it, it appeared that in their past life… he had never turned her down.

Seeing that Lu Zhaozhao seemed to understand, Tian Xiangjun added another line, “Actually, physical contact is also very helpful for people with alexithymia; those with the condition often feel profound loneliness, and physical contact can help alleviate their anxiety.”

Lu Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly and immediately started furiously typing notes into her phone’s memo app.

“I still have a few questions…”

…

Lu Zhaozhao’s “psychological treatment” lasted for an hour and a half before concluding.@@novelbin@@

As soon as she stepped out of the clinic, Tian Xiangjun kept Song Sinian behind.

Seeing him seated on the couch, Tian Xiangjun chuckled lightly and asked as usual, “Nothing you want to talk about today either?”

Song Sinian took a medicine bottle out of his pocket and placed it on the table, “The medicine prescribed this time seems problematic; after taking it, my heart rate accelerates, and I keep experiencing some strange sensations.”

Although some sensations felt good, others were simply unbearable.

Tian Xiangjun’s eyes scanned the medicine bottle briefly before returning to Song Sinian, “You’ve been taking this medicine for a while now; when did these strange symptoms start?”

“…”

“Was it before or after you married Lu Zhaozhao?” Tian Xiangjun, observing Song Sinian’s silent demeanor, added another question.

Song Sinian’s brow furrowed instantly, “Are you suggesting that my symptoms have nothing to do with the medicine, and are because of Lu Zhaozhao?”

Tian Xiangjun nodded slowly, then suddenly smiled radiantly, “Such a good wife, don’t you want to know how to make her inseparable from you?”

Song Sinian remained silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Tian Xiangjun and slowly asked, “What should I do?”

“…”

Tian Xiangjun hadn’t expected Song Sinian to agree so readily.

She had initially thought Song Sinian felt somewhat special about Lu Zhaozhao, but it seemed she mattered far more than Tian Xiangjun had imagined.

She had always wanted to help him with his treatment, but he only accepted simple hypnosis when he couldn’t sleep after taking his medicine; at other times, aside from picking up his medication, he hardly communicated with her.

Even as a Divine Doctor, she was powerless.

She had feared that Song Sinian would completely lose his desires and motivations, continuing in this way… everything around him would become meaningless…

But now, with Lu Zhaozhao’s appearance, this young lady might just be the key to turning things around!

At least, she had made Song Sinian want to become a normal person again, and that was enough!
