"Come on in!"

"No, no, I'm not mentally prepared yet!" Shi Nan blushed and shook her head.

Xiao Tu looked at Shi Nan holding a large cardboard box in his hand, standing at the door and hesitating left and right, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't eat people, at least give me the cardboard box in your hand, it looks weird." ”

Xiao Tu directly took the cardboard box in Shi Nan's hand and entered the house, Shi Nan was empty-handed, and he had no idea in his heart, his eyes glanced at the open door of the room a few times, gritted his teeth and walked in.

"If there is a courier next time, it is better to send it to me directly to the address, and you will not have to take it again, or tell me in advance that I will pick you up. Xiao Tu put the cardboard box into the study where he usually hoarded sundries, and then went out to see that Shi Nan had entered the house, looking around like a rabbit with two eyes, his little face was red and fluttering like an apple, and he couldn't help but tease in his heart.

The door slammed shut with a bang, and Xiao Tu took a few steps closer towards Shi Nan, holding his arms around her between himself and the wall, and the breath between the two was almost audible.

"Xiao, Teacher Xiao?" Shi Nan was caught off guard by Xiao Tu's sudden appearance, and the whole person was hot as if it had been cooked, "Too, too close......"

"Nan Nan, is it because I look too scary, or is the place where I live too scary?" Xiao Tu was imposing, but his appearance was a little aggrieved, and the two were not in harmony at all.

"Mr. Xiao is the most handsome in the world, how can it be scary......" Shi Nan turned his face away and told the truth.

"Oh, that's my dorm room is scary, huh...... Next time, why don't I take you back to my house, my family hasn't seen you yet, how about it?"

After Xiao Tu finished speaking, Shi Nan's face turned even redder, and she could even hear the "buzzing" sound of blood rushing to her eardrums, does Teacher Xiao mean to take her to meet her parents? Also, it's too fast! Shi Nan immediately shook her head, she felt that she had to explain, otherwise Xiao Tu might really take her home directly, and she had no power to fight back.

"Come home with me, don't you want to......" Xiao Tu showed a hurt expression.

"No, I'm nervous because Ms. Shi has taught me since I was a child that I can't go to a boy's house casually, isn't it the first time I haven't listened to her, I'm always a little apprehensive in my heart, understand, Mr. Xiao?" Shi Nan's eyes rolled when he said this, and he looked at Xiao Tu's heart and lowered his head to imprint a kiss on her forehead.

"Then when are you going to turn me into a regular?" Xiao Tu asked softly in Shi Nan's ear.

"Huh?" Shi Nan was stunned.

"On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will pay an official visit to your mother as my boyfriend. ”

Shi Nan blinked, looking at Xiao Tu's extremely serious expression, she nodded: "Okay." ”

Xiao Tu took Shi Nan's hand and took her to visit his dormitory, Xiao Tu's dormitory was the same as himself, two bedrooms and one living room, simple and clean, the windows were bright and the lighting was excellent, although simple but very warm, the table was also very clean, except for a laptop and a set of recording equipment, everything else was cleaned up, even the kitchen was spotless, if Xiao Tu hadn't told her that she often fired at home, it is estimated that she would not believe it.

Xiao Tu poured a cup of hot milk and handed it to Shi Nan, and poured himself a cup of coffee: "What is today's plan?

Since a few days ago, they had been discussing how to overcome Xiao Tu's stress disorder, and they also made some attempts, such as abdominal breathing, illusion training, but they all ended in failure.

"Well, in the past two days, I've looked up a lot of information, and the information says it's called post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, and there's a way we might be able to give it a try. Heather apparently did her homework, and continued, "It's called exposure therapy, which is to go back to the traumatic scene, re-enact the traumatic event, and re-practice it until you are no longer afraid. ”

Xiao Tu was stunned: "It was an accident at the time, how can this happen again?"

"We can start simple, I bought some lights, I can simulate spotlights, want to try it out?" asked Heather.

"Good. Xiao Tu readily agreed, even if he reassured Shi Nan, he was willing to cooperate with her.

Unpacking the express box only to find that this is an LED spotlight that needs to be assembled, Shi Nan was a little stunned for a moment, God knows that what she is most afraid of is doing handwork, but for Xiao Tu no matter how difficult it is, she has to overcome it, so she gritted her teeth and sat on the floor, poured the parts on the ground one by one, and installed them step by step according to the complicated instructions, Xiao Tu looked at Shi Nan's frowning and serious little face, and couldn't help but smile.

It was obviously a slightly cool autumn, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on the back of the heather because of the anxiety, and the soft sweater became prickly on the skin.

"Need help?" Xiao Tu said as he sat down next to the heather, leaned over and looked at the instruction manual in the heather's hand, then picked up the light bulb and lampstand on the floor, a pair of big hands with distinct knots turned over dexterously, as if by magic, a bunch of scattered parts disappeared, and the spotlight that was exactly the same as in the picture was erected.

"That's amazing, Teacher Xiao!" Shi Nan looked up at Xiao Tu, revealing a look of adoration.

Xiao Tu was very useful, reached out and touched the soft top of the heather's soft hair and said, "Put it there, I'll install the rest." ”

"Then I'll pinch the shoulders of the hard-working Teacher Xiao!" Shi Nan instantly left the handmade battlefield that made her scalp tingle, moved behind Xiao Tu, stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Tu's shoulder again and again, and asked while pinching, "Teacher Xiao, are you comfortable?"

"Well, comfortable. Xiao Tu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, half-squinting his eyes and enjoying the quiet years at this moment.

One spotlight was installed under Xiao Tu's "magic hand", and the heather arranged them in a semicircle, so that all the lamp heads pointed to the same point, and Xiao Tu found a wiring board and energized each spotlight, which was considered to have completed the preliminary arrangement.

Shi Nan looked at Xiao Tu and unconsciously felt a little nervous, "Teacher Xiao, do you want to try it?"

Xiao Tu looked very relaxed, and calmly walked to the focus of the spotlight: "We spent so much effort to assemble it together, so naturally we have to give it a try." ”

Shi Nan nodded: "Teacher Xiao, you don't have to brace hard, if you can't bear it, just tell me, or make a gesture, we agree, if you can't make a sound, you stretch out your index finger, and I will understand, okay?"

"Huh?" Xiao Tu looked at Shi Nan, seeing that she was serious when she said this, her heart was really thinking too much, and nodded with a smile, "Okay." ”

"There are two gears for the spotlights, so I'll turn them all on first. Heather said.

Xiao Tu gave a thumbs up in agreement.

"Pa-pa-pa-pa-" All the spotlights were turned on in turn, and the lowest-grade white LED light shone softly on Xiao Tu's body, Shi Nan carefully observed Xiao Tu's expression, and saw that his eyes were in focus, and his limbs didn't look stiff, and he also looked at himself, and made an "OK" gesture, Shi Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher Xiao, then I'll turn on the most high-end lights!" Shi Nan's mood at this time was complicated, she hoped that this method would work, but she didn't want Teacher Xiao to suffer psychological pain again, reliving the departure of important people, it was too cruel.

Seeing Xiao Tu give himself a thumbs up again, Shi Nan's heart was horizontal, and all the spotlights were turned to the brightest level, and the room suddenly brightened up several times, at this time, Xiao Tu's body standing under the spotlight was so white that it was reflective and even transparent, and it looked a little unreal, Shi Nan saw him gently close his eyes, so a heart also hung up.

The spotlight pierced his eyes, and the heat generated by the glow of the bulb was like a layer of heat on his body, which was not exactly like the stage, Xiao Tu didn't have any special feelings, but after closing his eyes, his imagination took on wings, and the wind whistled in his ears.

Xiao Tu lowered his head, he found that the shadow at his feet was like a monster pulling his body, gradually changing shape, and there was a sense of undecided anxiety in his heart, subconsciously at this moment there seemed to be a crumbling spotlight hanging above his head, Xiao Tu subconsciously clenched his palm, and sure enough, that memory came again.

"Teacher Xiao! Teacher Xiao!" Shi Nan realized that the situation was not quite right, and shouted loudly several times, hesitating to make a decision, but Xiao Tu seemed to be insisting. After continuing for a while, Shi Nan saw Xiao Tu's palm loosen slightly, and then stretched out his index finger.

It was the agreed signal! Heather was pardoned and cut off the power cord of the power strip, and all the spotlights went out in an instant......

"Teacher Xiao, are you okay?" Shi Nan stepped forward to support Xiao Tu and asked.

Xiao Tu took his glasses and pinched the mountain roots, and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, it's okay, let's stop here today......"

"Teacher Xiao, if this method is too painful, let's give up, I feel sad to see you suffer. Shi Nan hugged Xiao Tu with red eyes, the last time she was in the Jinling Troupe had already frightened her, and it was really unbearable for her to come back at this moment.

"Nan Nan, it's okay, since I promised you that you will work hard to overcome it, I won't give up easily, don't be afraid, I just proved that this method works. The symptoms of shortness of breath due to the stress response had not completely subsided, and Xiao Tu's voice still sounded a little weak, but he still tried his best to smile and comfort Shi Nan.

The evening sunset shone into the room through the glass window, as if coating everything with a layer of warm color, heather and Xiao Tu snuggled up to each other and leaned against each other, Xiao Tu adjusted his breath through abdominal breathing without a trace and gradually recovered his physical strength, and heather was full of sadness, thinking about feasible ways to help Xiao Tu recover, the two formed a kind of tacit understanding, even if they didn't say a word, they could sense each other's moods.

"Nan Nan, accompany me to Uncle Lin's house again in a few days. Xiao Tu suddenly spoke.
