Chapter Twenty-Six: Life History

Coming out of the psychology classroom, Wen Xun and Qin Yanlan walked side by side in silence. When she walked to the corner of the corridor, Qin Yanlan suddenly stopped, turned around and smiled at Wen Xun, "Okay, look at your curious and undaring look, just ask me if you have anything you want to ask." ”

Wen Xun asked directly. "Yan Lan, how can you be interested in psychology?"

"Do you have any classes in the afternoon?"

Wen Xun shook his head.

"Well, it's a long story, if you want to hear it, let's talk about it slowly in another place. ”

They left school and went to a bubble tea shop outside the school together. After sitting down, Qin Yanlan ordered two cups of milk tea and some desserts, and after the things she ordered came up, she opened her mouth to tell the long story.

"I'm not actually from City B. I'm from H City - you probably haven't heard of it, after all, you're from the south, so you don't know much about it. In short, it is a small place next to City B, which is rural. My parents had a very serious patriarchal mentality, and after giving birth to my younger brother, they threw me and my sister to my grandmother, took my younger brother to the city to work, and never came back. ”

"My name was not originally called Qin Yanlan, but Qin Zhaodi, and my sister was originally called Qin Pandi, I didn't understand the meaning of these two names when I was a child, but I later learned that it meant that I hoped we could recruit a younger brother. Later, my parents went to work, and my grandmother took us to change our names, my name is Yan Lan, and my sister's name is Yan Yun. ”

"I remember when my parents left, I was 10 years old, and my sister was 5 years old. As she grew up, my grandmother and I found that she was different from ordinary children, she was extremely afraid of life, except for being able to communicate with us normally, she didn't talk to anyone, and she would cry and yell when she was scared. Later, when she reached the age of elementary school, she went to three or four elementary schools without anyone accepting her, and then she couldn't go to school. ”

"At first, my parents would occasionally send money to the family, but then my grandmother passed away and my parents cut us off. I waited a long time to accept the fact that we had been abandoned. I had already been admitted to university at that time - also in City B, the largest of the Z, which was already very good for me. I took a little savings from my family and came to City B with my sister, thinking that I could apply for a bursary, and then study while earning money to support my sister and treat her illness. ”

"I said it, it's delusional. Later, there was a shady bursary, and I didn't apply because I always went to work, and the course was very delayed, so I had to make a choice. In my sophomore year, I dropped out of school. ”

"I couldn't find a job because I didn't have any education or qualifications, and then I ...... I got a job that wasn't very good, the kind that relied on my body for money. Wen Xun, I want to apologize to you, the day we first met, the man you saw was not my blind date, but my former ...... Guest. I've only been in that business for a year, and I've saved a little money and then I don't do it, but the relationship is clear, and that man is one of the people who has been pestering me. ”

"After saying this apology, I have to say another ...... I'm really embarrassed to hide so much from you after knowing you for so long. It's the ticket for Jiang Xiangyang's concert a while ago, in fact, I bought it for me and my sister - because my sister likes to listen to his songs, and I also knew about him because of my sister. I was going to take my sister to a concert to make her happier, but she was afraid of the noise of the concert and refused to go at all, so I found you to join me. ”

"I don't have the money to hire a psychiatrist for my sister, so I hope I can be her own psychiatrist. So then I went to learn nursing and became a nurse, hoping to be closer to the hospital. I got to know some psychiatrists, but they didn't pay much attention to me, and I realized that it was useless for me to go to the hospital to work. Later, I bought my own books to teach myself about psychology, and then I met you. ”

"Wen Xun, I haven't known you for a long time, but I think you're different from those I've met. You're not arrogant, you don't have the scheming, you don't just associate with people who have a stake in you – and of course, it's possible that almost all students do. But I really don't have the opportunity to meet the people on campus anymore, so you're unique to me. Well...... I've told you so much at once today, I don't know if you will have a psychological burden. ”

"This is the first time I've spoken these words to anyone. ”

After Qin Yanlan finished speaking, she pursed her lips and her eyes were red. Wen Xun looked at her, and the two of them were silent for a long time.

After a long time, Wen Xun sighed. "Yan Lan, you don't need to apologize to me, I don't think there's any need to talk about everything with people I've known for a short time - it's just an act of self-preservation. Hearing you say so much, I really have mixed feelings, but I don't want to talk to you about my feelings now, but think about some things I can do to help you. ”

- "If you want to come to our school in the future, I will definitely help you find a way." I can also find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Xiangyang about your sister, although there may not be a way for them to meet, but maybe I can let Jiang Xiangyang record a song or add a contact information with your sister to talk occasionally. Also, if you encounter financial difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Although I haven't made any money yet, I still have a surplus of living expenses every month, and it's useless to save it. ”

"Wen Xun, thank you, but I'm not telling you this......"

"I know. Wen Xun interrupted her and attached his palm to hers, "I know you're not here to ask for sympathy or help, I just want to do something for you when I can, because we're friends." It's not you begging me, it's me thinking. ”

Qin Yanlan looked at Wen Xun and smiled.

"As I said, you're not the same as anyone I've ever met. ”

Wen Xun also smiled, she felt that if this continued, the two of them would hug their heads and cry in the milk tea shop, so they quickly ended the sensationalism, "That's you, there are too few people I've seen." ”

She withdrew her hand and tried to settle the bill with the waiter. However, Qin Yanlan stopped her, she said, "This is the afternoon tea that I thank you for taking me to class, how can you pay for it." Seeing that Wen Xun wanted to stop talking, she tilted her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I can still afford an afternoon tea, it's a big deal if you invite me to dinner next time." ”

Wen Xun knew that fighting for such a small amount of money would only leave him embarrassed and unfamiliar, so he didn't say anything more and let Qin Yanlan settle the bill.
