Chapter 30: What is Love?

Looking at Xu Jianan again, it's not the first time that he has walked so chic, I remember not long ago...... When she left Zhang Ke, it was a similar scene. It's just that this time, there is no feeling of being "dumped". But Xu Jiannan is still not very comfortable, obviously a person who thought he was very good before, became so unbearable in front of him overnight, even if he is not a boyfriend and girlfriend, it doesn't feel too good.

While going downstairs, Xu Jiannan reflected on herself in her heart, what was going on with her, and how could the people she met have such and such problems? Thinking of Lin Weizhou's somewhat false face just now, she felt uncomfortable.

went downstairs, and just as he was about to walk out of the company's gate, Xu Jiannan saw a shadow squatting at the door from a distance......

This scene...... It's a little familiar. If memory serves, I've seen this once in the morning when I came home to work. Xu Jianan thought.

The black shadow squatted on the ground, and even if it didn't rain heavily drenched him, it still looked like a self-pitying death. Xu Jianan stepped forward helplessly, clasped his hands and asked, "I said, didn't Lu Yan pick you up, why did he release you again?"

Cheng Tao raised his head, put on a young and pitiful and helpless look, and said to Xu Jianan: "Lu Yan is busy and can't take care of me." And he said that he should solve his own affairs by himself and don't cause trouble to others......"

"Oh, then he has a point. But you didn't take it to heart at all. Xu Jiannan said this politely. Cheng Tao squatted at the gate of the counseling center, of course waiting for her. Xu Jiannan didn't decide to tell him about Chen Fei's past, so he didn't have anything to say to him. Chen Fei's past, unless Chen Fei said it himself, it would be impossible for Xu Jiannan to reveal half a word.

Cheng Tao took advantage of the fact that his legs were not numb, and stood up while rubbing his legs, while begging at Xu Jianan and said, "Doctor Xu, you can do it, help me...... I've never been so determined to pursue anyone when I've grown up, and I've never been rejected so iron-heartedly...... I need to know why, right?"

This is true, Xu Jiannan also thinks that a son-in-law like Cheng Tao has probably not been humble to the dust on the emotional road, let alone has not had many opportunities to squat by the gate day and night like a mourning dog......

Sighing slightly, Xu Jiannan said frankly to Cheng Tao: "Everyone has their own past and secrets, and Chen Fei's affairs should be told to you by herself." If she doesn't want to say, it's useless for you to ask me. From the perspective of me as her friend, I just want to tell you, do you think the two of you are really suitable? Like me and Chen Fei, we are ordinary people in ordinary families, and I know her very well what she wants. She doesn't like to compromise because she's rich, so she doesn't care how much money you have, but at least you have to make her happy. ”

When Cheng Tao heard this, he also tried to argue with reason: "Doctor Xu, you see that you are biased. If the family environment is a little better, will it affect whether I will be good to her? Why can't rich people give ordinary people the happiness they want? You guys are completely prejudiced! At that time, I confessed to Chen Fei that everything was going very smoothly and everything was fine, but after I confessed my family background and personal experience to her, she suddenly seemed to be a different person! She avoided me like a plague, and finally put down her cruel words and chased after her, and she made me never see her again! In this way, I will stay downstairs and dare not chase after you!"

This kind of process is similar to what Xu Jiannan imagined. If it weren't for Chen Fei suddenly remembering the past at that time, in fact, Cheng Tao's opportunity was indeed a little bit...... Because it is not difficult to see that Chen Fei is indeed very happy when he is with him.

Xu Jiannan said to Cheng Tao with deep regret as he walked: "What about this matter, I think no matter who you are, you should respect the choices of others." The important thing is how Chen Fei decides. I'm a good friend of hers, but I don't influence her decisions. I will neither persuade you to give up, stop looking for her, nor will I persuade you to continue to pursue, keep up the good work, and stalk you. The only thing I could do was watch all of this and protect her as much as I could. ”

Cheng Tao always followed Xu Jianan, and still did not give up: "Even so, you have to give me a direction, let me understand her, right? She didn't give me a chance to get to know her at all! Doctor Xu, you can help me, let her gradually ...... me."

Listening to Cheng Tao's low-voiced request, Xu Jiannan stopped a little puzzled, looked at Cheng Tao very strangely and asked: "I don't quite understand, how long have you known her? Just like this, love is turned upside down and died? Is this really love at first sight? Do you go back and think about it for yourself, do you really like her so much? What do you like about her? You can't even talk about it, why do you like her? Do you like her, or are you unwilling to be rejected for the first time?"

Cheng Tao was not happy to hear this, so he also stood still, and crossed his waist and raised his head to retort: "Prejudice! This is prejudice again! Doctor Xu, you are a psychiatrist who is not qualified, why are you so prejudiced? Why can't I really like her? Not to mention that I am not a playboy, even if I do! There is still a prodigal son who does not change his money! Also, am I the kind of superficial person who is unbalanced because of rejection, and I have to get my hands on it? Like is like, why does there have to be a reason? ? All love with a purpose is a hooligan!!Doctor Xu, I suspect you don't understand what true love is!"

Looking at his indignant look, Xu Jianan held his hands and smiled: "Eh, you are really wrong about this." The essence of the so-called love is actually the secretion in our brain, like dopamine, which is directly related to emotions. All your actions in love, hugging, kissing, sweet words, will make the brain produce dopamine, so you will have a so-called sweet sense of happiness. But in fact, a lot of things can give you dopamine, a luxury car that you like, a beautiful woman passing by, a food you love, it's total. Also, dopamine controls the impulsive decision-making of the human brain. That's why you're so stupid as to be a chicken hanging out of the door in the rain all night. As a simple example, you would have liked to eat steamed buns today, but on your way to buy steamed buns, you see steak on a billboard in a western restaurant. That image is visually conveyed to the brain, which stimulates your dopamine secretion, so you change your mind on the way, give up the bun and go for a steak. This is the short-term impulsive decision-making, and it is the same as emotional derailment or love at first sight. You may think that you have fallen mad and lost your mind by now, but in fact, you are just taking over impulsive decisions. ”

"......" Cheng Tao was completely dumbfounded, standing in place and looking at Xu Jiannan in a daze, his face full of "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing......".

But Xu Jiannan didn't care, she looked at Cheng Tao's face and said: "Look at your anxious and confused state, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't do something to think about Chen Fei for a moment? Because in the process of your so-called love, not only will there be dopamine in your brain, but it will also reduce a substance called serotonin. The main function of serotonin is to regulate people's emotions and make people calm. You see a perverted and calm person like Lu Yan, probably because there is too much serotonin. Love not only increases dopamine in the brain, but also makes people impulsive. It also inhibits the secretion of serotonin, making it difficult for people to control themselves and calm down. Therefore, people who are in love will be like being sick, dying of happiness for a while, and jumping off the building for a while when they are sad. One moment anxious, one moment suffering from gains and losses, and at the same time that life and death promises at every turn, they will also fight at every turn. ”

Xu Jianan said these words to Cheng Tao very professionally, but Cheng Tao was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word. But there is another clear and clear realization in his mind, and that is...... When Xu Jiannan said that Lu Yan was perverted, it was better to see if his serotonin was too vigorous......

Looking at Cheng Tao's appearance of being said to be demented, Xu Jiannan added and continued: "By the way, also, purposeful love is a hooligan? What kind of logic do you have? Is purposeless love a hooligan? Two people are together, each taking what he needs." There must be a reason for being obsessed with someone. Perhaps, his voice makes you addicted. Perhaps, his character is something you admire. Perhaps, the other party's conditions can give you the life you want. Perhaps, the other person's appearance can make you feel pleasing to the eye. It is even possible that it is the other person's smile is warm, the smell is clean, the gaze is attractive, and so on all the trivial conditions. In short, there must be a reason for the infatuation, otherwise, there are many single women and single old ladies on the roadside, why don't you pursue it casually? Isn't it purposeless? So who is different?"

“......”

"You're right?"

“......”

"Hey, are you still alive?" Xu Jiannan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Cheng Tao.

Cheng Tao looked at Xu Jianan with a loveless expression and said, "Doctor Xu, I was almost told to die! What kind of mess is this in your head...... With your view of love, I can completely understand why you are still single!"

"......" This time, it was Xu Jianan's turn to be speechless.

Cheng Tao continued: "I advise you, let's give yourself a good psychotherapy! You just said that Lu Yan is calm and perverted, in fact, I think you may be more perverted than him! At least he has never said that love is such a thing. ”

Xu Jiannan coughed a little embarrassed and said: "Ahem, in short, I just want you to understand the truth of this, and popularize your so-called love at first sight and inextricability." You'd better go home and think about it and think it through. I'm here, don't follow me. After saying that, he snorted, turned around and left.
