"I don't think Arun will go to the big casino to play, he has less than 50,000 yuan in his hand, he can only look for medium-sized casinos to bet, I think let's look for medium-sized casinos around the Imperial Palace Casino first, what do you think?" asked Robert who was driving the car.

"Your analysis makes sense, so let's do it, and when we get there, we'll split up and look for it. ”

After arriving in the new city, Wuwei got out of Robert's car, and the two went separately to look for Aaron, who searched for more than an hour, and ran to more than a dozen casinos and found no trace of Aaron. He wondered to himself where this kid was going to gamble, and he suddenly remembered that Aaron had mentioned a casino he used to go to. Everyone has the habit of being familiar, and the familiar environment makes people feel safe. This kid must have gone there. Thinking of this, Wu Wei immediately took a taxi to the casino that Alun had mentioned.

The sky has already darkened, the neon lights are starting to flicker everywhere, and the most beautiful moment of Las Vegas has just begun, in this inverted black and white world, and the day of many people after night falls really begins.

Wu Wei's eyes scanned both sides of the street, hoping to find the target he was looking for. Before the taxi arrived at the casino where Wuwei was going, Wuwei saw a figure stretched by the street lamp, like a lonely, thin, and dying of thirst on the side of the desert, standing lifeless on the side of the road. He asked the driver to stop the car, handed the driver twenty dollars, and waved the taxi away.

Wuwei walked towards the demented figure, and Aaron staggered forward, his feet as if they weighed a thousand pounds. On the streets of Las Vegas, you often see such people, and at a glance you know that they are people who have lost all their money, but also lost their lives.

Looking at Aaron's dejected appearance, Wuwei guessed everything. He took a few steps from behind to catch up with Aaron and gently patted him on the shoulder. Aaron stopped, he was slow to react, and slowly turned around, his eyes hollow like the eyes of a dead man, without a trace of life. Aaron thought it was a beggar asking for money, or a thug teasing him. When he saw that Wu Wei was standing in front of him, there was an indescribable expression on his face, and remorse, excitement, and gratitude were accompanied by endless shame. Just like the first time Wuwei saved him, he grabbed Wuwei's arm and held it tightly and didn't let go.

"Big brother, I'm ...... I ......" Alun choked up for a long time and couldn't say a word.

Wuwei waved his hand, "Okay, don't say anything, go home first." ”

As he spoke, Wuwei took out his mobile phone and dialed Robert's number......

Half an hour later, when the three of them returned to the apartment, Robert put the fast food box he had bought on the way back on the table and said to Aaron, "You must be hungry, let's eat first!"

"Thank you, Robert, I haven't eaten for two days, why haven't I ever felt hungry, but now I'm hungry when I come back......" Alan said, not bothering to wash up, gobbling up a box of lunches, and in the blink of an eye, swept away a box of lunches.

The three of them couldn't help laughing when they saw Arun as gluttonous as an African refugee, Yang Yan pushed the two wheels of the wheelchair with both hands, came to the dining table, poured a glass of water for Arun from the cold kettle, and gently put it in front of him. Said gently: "Eat slowly, drink saliva first, don't choke." ”

Ah Lun glanced at Yang Yan gratefully, "Thank you." "Grab the glass and drink it down.

Seeing that Yang Yan was so good to himself for the first time, Aarun's heart was moved, not only did he not blame himself for deceiving everyone, but he was also so good to himself, Arun couldn't help but shed tears. He turned around and said ashamedly to Wuwei and Robert: "I'm sorry big brother, I shouldn't have deceived you, I didn't expect you not only didn't blame me, but also found me back, to be honest, after I lost all my money in the casino, I felt like I never had the face to come back to see you, and I didn't know where I was going." At that time, I had suicidal thoughts in my heart, alas, ......" Alun choked up and couldn't go on.

"Aaron, you are our brother, of course we can't ignore you, through this lesson you must remember that not everyone can play betting, if your psychological quality is not strong, and you can't control yourself, it is easy to destroy yourself in the casino. There was no reproach in Wuwei's words.

Ah Lun nodded like a chicken picking up rice: "Big brother, this is the second time you have saved me, I remember it, I must change it in the future, and I will never indulge in gambling again, otherwise I will not be human." ”

"Wu Wei is right, Aaron, we all really expect you to learn a lesson, it doesn't matter if people make mistakes, what we are afraid of is that we will always make the same mistakes. Robert doesn't talk much, but he always gets to the point.

Alun stood up, raised his right hand, and said loudly: "I swear, if I gamble again, I don't need everyone to chase me, and I will disappear from your vision immediately......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wuwei.

"Forget it, don't pretend to swear, go back to your room and go to sleep, you look like you have chicken plague, and you can't even lift your head. Wuwei looked at Aaron's tired demeanor and waved his hand to let him hurry up and rest. He knows what it's like to be alone after a day and a night of gambling, no easier than running a marathon.

Seeing Ah Lun go back to the room, Wu Wei and the others returned to the living room, Yang Yan whispered to the two: "I don't know if Ah Lun can change? ”

"It's really hard to change a person who gambles like a lot. Wuwei echoed.

Robert thought for a moment and said with certainty: "No, I think Aaron can change himself this time." ”

"Robert, you're not the roundworm in Aaron's stomach, how can you be so sure he can change?" Yang Yan asked curiously.

"I'm not a worm in Aaron's stomach, but I can tell from his words and expressions. Don't forget that language is a true reflection of a person's thoughts, and if you listen carefully to a person's language, you can understand their inner world. Robert said seriously.

"I didn't hear anything from Aaron's words. Yang Yan shook his head and said.

Wuwei believed what Robert said, and knew that since he said this, he must have his reason: "Robert, can you tell us why you said that?"

In fact, it is not as difficult for a person to change as people think, people can change in an instant. There are active and passive changes in people, no matter what kind of change, as long as the method is correct, it is very simple to change a person. ”

Robert's words immediately aroused the interest of Wuwei and Yang Yan, and both of them stared at him with wide eyes, waiting for his next step.

Seeing that the two were listening intently to what he was saying, Robert continued: "Aristotle found that all human actions have a purpose, that is, all human actions are in pursuit of some goal or result, and he pointed out that the ultimate goal of every human being is to live a happy life. Modern behaviorists have found that all human behaviors have only two direct or indirect purposes, either to pursue happiness or to escape pain. Studying, working, making friends, reading, exercising, traveling, shopping, surfing the Internet, including gambling, and so on, all of these actions are directly or indirectly aimed at pursuing some kind of happiness or to escape the pain of not doing these things, just as reading books and studying are for the sake of pleasure and the pain that comes from ignorance. ”

"Yes, Robert, you're right, I feel this way no matter what I do, but I don't see how this has anything to do with Aaron's change?" Yang Yan said anxiously.

"Haha, you'll soon know what's the connection. I have said before about Wu Wei that it is the inner emotions that control people's behavior, that is, constructive emotions and destructive emotions, and our living beings feel happiness for constructive emotions and pain for destructive emotions. Therefore, it is the two forces of pain and pleasure that control all our actions. For example, a person who likes to gamble because gambling can bring him happiness and hope. The fundamental point of controlling people's behavior is to recognize the emotional cognition of this behavior in the heart, and then reflect it on the external behavior. Therefore, the easiest way to control behavior is to use the power of pleasure and pain, to put happiness on the behavior you want, and put pain on the behavior you don't want. Using this method, you can break bad habits and develop good behavioral habits in a very short period of time. ”

Seeing that Wuwei and Yang Yan seemed to understand or not, Robert smiled and said, "Let me give you a simple example." Quitting smoking is something that many people think is difficult to do, some people have quit smoking many times without success, they also know that smoking is not good for health, and a friend has quit many times without success. Once I asked him why he couldn't quit smoking, and he said, 'You don't know, it's so hard to quit smoking, you can't sit down, you can't stand, it's like a little hand scratching you.' He thought in his heart that quitting smoking was such a painful act, and he must be running away from it in his mind, so he couldn't quit smoking. Another friend had been smoking for many years and then quit smoking, and I asked him curiously how he quit smoking? He replied, 'I couldn't hold back a day without smoking, and the next day I suddenly felt less phlegm in my throat, and I was refreshed, and after a few days of not smoking, I stopped coughing and my chest was no longer stuffy.' People have also become refreshed, eating is fragrant, and the body feels much more relaxed. It turns out that quitting smoking makes him feel so happy, can he not quit smoking? Whether you can quit smoking depends on whether you associate the act of quitting smoking with happiness or with pain. In fact, this is true of any kind of behavior, if our heart interprets this behavior as happiness, then we will chase this behavior, and if we interpret it as pain, we will definitely run away from this behavior. Aaron just said that he even had suicidal thoughts after gambling, so you can see how much pain this behavior caused him? That's why I said he would change himself. ”

After listening to Robert's words, Wuwei and Yang Yan both nodded again and again, and both of them admired Robert for explaining profound things simply and clearly. "Robert, how do you feel like a psychiatrist, not like a surgeon. Yang Yan jokingly said, "I still have a question, you just said that people can change in an instant, can it be so fast?"

"Haha...... Of course, faster than you can imagine, this kind of change often happens after experiencing some violent stimuli, such as car accidents, huge injuries, the death of loved ones, and of course, some girls will suddenly change a lot after suffering the blow of falling out of love, right?" Robert asked Yang Yan with a certain meaning in his smile.

"Okay, Robert, there's something in the words, but I haven't tried to fall out of love, so I don't know. Yang Yan tilted his head and said mischievously to Robert.

Wuwei said thoughtfully: "I hope that Arun can change himself after this ordeal." ”
