Chapter 1255: What A Coincidence

The psychologist was someone that he had consulted with and kept in constant contact with for these years. She was a middle-aged woman with an extremely good temper. Her round face was likable to others. She had done much research about social anxiety and had managed to cure a man with social anxiety. Hence, Li Chen invited her over to have a chat with Fifth Brother.
Due to some special reasons, no one ever entered his home. Other than Yun An, no outside people had ever come for all these years. When Yun An lived here, he did not even bring his friends over.
Fifth Brother’s situation had aggravated recently. It was not feasible to invite him outside, and it was impossible to go over to the Gu Manor. If it was held in the psychologist’s office, it was unsuitable and also insincere. Hence, Li Chen invited them to his home and personally cooked for them.
Fifth Brother sat on the sofa and was nervously communicating with the psychologist. The two kept a very safe distance. He hugged the pillow like a little pitiful person, occasionally glancing over at Li Chen in the kitchen.
He was so nervous that his palms were full of sweat.
The psychiatrist gave him a few test questions and asked him some common questions. Social anxiety was a psychological problem, and there were usually triggering reasons for it. Fifth Brother said, “I was very shy when I was a kid, and I was always timid. I did not like talking to people too. ”
The atmosphere of Ghost City had always been better. There were several brothers above him who were all capable, so there was nothing to worry about as a younger brother. His problem was actually caused by a bullying incident on the school campus.
When they were young, Second Old Master Gu was too busy.
Fifth Brother’s studies were not very good, so he went to an art school. The art school was connected to a sports school. A group of bullies from the sports school would regularly stop them, extort money, abuse them, and bully them.
The fifth brother was blocked by them for a while, and he became the target of these people because he looked like a young master of a rich family. He was pampered growing up, and his luck was not good. That period of time happened to be the busiest time for Ghost City. Compared to being retaliated against and targeted by rivaling families, the bullying incident became a relatively small matter in Ghost City.
Second Old Master Gu had many sons, and it was inevitable that there was some negligence. No one discovered his problem for a long time. By the time Big Brother found out, Fifth Brother had suffered from bullying on campus for nearly two years.
Gradually, he did not like to talk or communicate with others. He just liked to read books and paint. Excluding his few brothers, he barely had any friends. This state continued into adulthood.
The psychiatrist made a simple record and asked casually, “When did the problem of social anxiety surface?”
Fifth Brother hugged the pillow tightly and was unwilling to speak. Li Chen leaned in front of the white kitchen doors and windows and looked at him gently. The light fell in his eyes and was dazzling, coaxing him down.
Fifth Brother took a deep breath. “After my Big Brother died.”
“Did anything happen?”
Fifth Brother refused to say anything else. Li Chen’s fingertips trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists. He turned around and brought the dishes up, calling out softly. “Come and eat. Let’s talk while eating.”
His words were like amnesty to Fifth Brother. The psychiatrist also knew that she could not force him too tightly, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Fifth Brother and Li Chen had only gotten acquainted recently. After exchanging business cards and WeChat, Fifth Brother would occasionally chat with Li Chen, and they became close after chatting. He guarded against others strongly, but he was not a fool. He knew that Li Chen was a good person and that he was also very concerned about him. Today, Li Chen said that he had found a psychiatrist and asked if he would like to come and have a chat. In fact, he had seen many psychiatrists to no effect, but he was still willing to go.
The few people were about to eat when suddenly, the sound of keys was heard from the door. Li Chen became stunned. Yun An had already opened the door and entered the doorway with unsteady footsteps. Yun An, having braved the cold wind back, paled when being met with the room filled with warmth.
