"At the beginning of the treatment, my friend's resistance was very severe. She resists all treatments, but is superficially obedient. This negative confrontation was quickly discovered by the counselor, so the counselor temporarily stopped the behavioral therapy and focused the therapy on conversation counseling in the consultation room.

"The counselor was really patient with her...... In the first few unsuccessful consultations, he also gave complete support and companionship, which made my friend feel fully understood again after many years. ”

"That's rare." Wei 14 said. 
"It's rare. Bai Ling nodded, "In the years when I grew up, my friend kept thinking, is my aunt still alive?" Is my aunt free? Did my aunt later live the life she wanted with her lover? She can't make herself better until she has answers to these questions, and she can't leave herself alone to live a normal life. ”

"I understand." Wei Shishi lowered his head and took a sip of wine, "Sometimes it is easy to forgive others, but it is difficult to forgive yourself. ”

Bai Ling's lips stiffened slightly, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Fourteen—she really didn't expect Wei Fourteen to say such a thing.

In other words, she didn't expect Wei Shixi to be able to understand this layer not long after hearing it for the first time.

Wei Shixi looked at Bai Ling's slightly surprised expression, and took off the black brocade hat on his head with a smile.

"Can I understand how strange these are?" Wei Shixi's pale hair shone in the moonlight, and he said softly, "I'm not a normal person. ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little distressedly.

She didn't know how the white-haired and white-faced Wei XIV grew up, but from these words, she understood that it must have been very difficult.

Wei XIV put his hat at his feet, "And then, did she understand?" ”

"Well," Bai Ling nodded, "but it took a long time to understand that she was paying off her aunt's debt on behalf of her parents." Not to mention that this account can't be repaid at all, even if it has to be repaid, it can't be counted on her head. I understand the reason, but I still can't stop self-torture. ”

"She shouldn't have to carry this burden, but she did." Wei Shishi's voice didn't fluctuate, "As for the person who should bear the burden, he probably only feels that he is righteous and awe-inspiring. ”

Bai Ling's eyes sank and he didn't answer immediately.

Fourteen is indeed true to his words, and his parents have never had even the slightest reflection from beginning to end.

Perhaps the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, but Bai Ling prefers to understand it as the arrogance and fear of the majority against the few.

She sighed, and continued, "But once we found the crux of the problem, the effects of the treatment began to progress rapidly...... The whole process is about a year and four months. This counselor was also my teacher and later became my supervisor. ”

As he spoke, Bai Ling leaned back, "I don't know why, I've been dreaming about this friend of mine lately, dreaming that when she was thirteen years old, she was standing alone on the podium and watching people rush in and take people away. ”

Before the words fell, Bai Ling suddenly felt a big cold hand pressed on his head.

Wei Shixi patted Bai Ling's little head, "You don't have to be afraid, no one can take you away under my nose." ”

Bai Ling laughed, but suddenly felt a little sour.

Some friends are able to bring freedom to others, even if they are in heavy chains.

"Then please Fourteen." Bai Ling propped his face and said softly.

……

When the moon rose above the two of them, Wei XIV put out the fire and returned with Bai Ling the same way.

It's almost time, and the palace is still awake at this time, except for the masters who have insomnia, I'm afraid there are only the palace people on duty in sleepiness.

Bai Ling was still lying on Fourteen's back, following him lightly across the half of the court. She looked up at the moon moving with her overhead, and suddenly knocked on the back of Tawei XIV.

"By the way, have you ever thought about what you're going to do if you don't do Jinyiwei?"

"Nope." Wei Fourteen said softly.

"Why not?"

"Because it's impossible." Wei Shixi suddenly raised his hand in the air and motioned to Bai Ling not to speak.

In silence, a group of soldiers passed under their feet.

It wasn't until they completely disappeared from the field of vision of the two of them that Wei Shixi jumped up again, walking along the undulating palace walls and scattered trees towards the Chengqian Palace.

"There are many accidents in life." Bai Ling smiled, and then said, "Like me before, I would never have imagined that I would enter the palace one day, think about it, think about it and don't suffer a loss." ”

Wei Shixi was silent for a moment, then jumped on the branch of an old locust tree in a few steps, and then dodged and fell into a deserted road.

In the steady running, he suddenly spoke, "If I don't become a brocade guard, I may go north." ”

"North? Why do you want to go north? Bai Ling asked.

"I have also heard from some old people who have lived in the north," replied Wei 14 earnestly, "they say that in the bitter cold of the far north, autumn is followed by eternal night, and spring and summer are often cloudy. I don't like the sun, so I've always wanted to see it...... It's nice to be a hunter galloping through the snowfields there. ”

Bai Ling nodded.

"You can get some dogs, build a house near a water source, or just find a small village to make a home in." Wei Shixi thought for a moment, "But you can't grow food in a place that is too cold, so how to make wine is a big problem...... I've heard that the locals make wine from potatoes and corn, but I don't know if it will work out. ”

Bai Ling nodded again.

This is not just a thought, this is obviously a careful thought.

Wei Shishi's eyes sank slightly, and then continued, "I do think about these things occasionally, but I only think about it. My life was saved by the Queen Mother, and as long as she was in the world, I would obey her for one day; If she is Bintian, I will go to guard the spirit of her old man, which is the duty of the secret guard. ”

Bai Ling was silent.

Before long, Wei Shixi had already taken Bai Ling back to the window in the east side hall of Chengqian Palace.

The night was already deep, and except for the occasional crow's chirping, it was quiet all around. The window was still as open as they had left, and Burling rolled over and leaped in.

"Wait!" Bai Ling looked at the back of Fourteen, who had already turned around, and suddenly shouted, "There are two more things, I still want to verify with you." ”

Wei XIV turned around and signaled that he was listening.

"Who is that young man in a guard uniform this morning, does Fourteen know?"

"So you don't know him......" Wei Shixi frowned slightly at this time and said softly, "Then how do you know that he is noble?" ”

Bai Ling scratched his head, "He appeared in a place like the Imperial Garden twice in a row, and the last time he said that he was a guard, this time he can come directly in a guard uniform...... The status should not be low, right...... Which prince is it? ”

"Not the prince." Wei 14 directly denied Bai Ling's conjecture, "It is the emperor's grandson, the son of Prince Gong's mansion." ”
