Chapter XXVI: Keys and Locks
Ran Sinian first called Rao Pei'er, who was shopping in a nearby shopping mall, and then walked a few hundred meters to a street garden, sat on a wooden chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for his car and driver.
Within ten minutes, Rao Peier's car stopped on the side of the road, and Ran Sinian got into the car.
"Send me home to rest, and by the way, we'll sign the rental contract." Ran Sinian looked at his watch, it was already close to noon, maybe he should have asked this rich star to invite him to a meal first.
"Don't worry, you better accompany me to a place first." Rao Peier started the car and headed in the opposite direction of Ran Sinian's house.
Ran Sinian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, "You want to go to Miao Mei for hypnosis?" Wouldn't you go with your mother for hypnosis? β
"That's right, anyway, you're thinking about that Miss Miao, isn't there just a reason to go and meet people now?" Rao Pei'er looked like a benefactor, waiting for Ran Sinian to thank her, "As for my mother, forget it, she said that she didn't want to be hypnotized, and she and my grandmother have always been at odds, and we have met no more than ten times in more than 20 years, and it is in vain to go, so I still don't count on her." β
Ran Sinian subconsciously cut his hair, a little apprehensive, after all, he hadn't seen his ex-fiancΓ©e for four months and seven days.
Along the way, Rao Peier kept asking about the progress of Changqing's case, and Ran Sinian had to tell Rao Peier about their achievements this morning in order to clean his ears.
Rao Peier was also embarrassed after hearing the story of Bai Yifeng's father and son, and even her hands holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.
"Bang" Rao Peier smashed the steering wheel, and said angrily with a little crying: "It's all forced by money, if it weren't for the livelihood, such a tragedy would not have happened!" β
Ran Sinian felt that the car shook obviously, the female driver's driving skills were not very good, and now he was emotional, which directly led to the threat to his own life.
"Pull over in front, I'll drive." Ran Sinian pointed to the side of the road in front of him, and glanced sideways at Rao Pei'er, this girl was really emotional and emotional, just listening to him tell Bai Yifeng's story so plainly, it was already like this. In the future, if she watches sensational TV shows in her living room, what will it be?
With a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped on the fourteenth floor of a high-rise office building.
There were only three people in the elevator, in addition to Ran Sinian and Rao Peier, there was also a tall woman. The three of them were silent, all the way up from the first floor to the fourteenth floor.
Rao Peier stepped out of the elevator first, and the tall woman also passed by Rao Peier, leaving Ran Sinian still stunned in the car.
"What's wrong?" Rao Peier blocked the elevator door with her hand, "Isn't it the fourteenth floor?" β
Ran Sinian came back to his senses and stepped out of the elevator, "It's nothing, it's just that it feels familiar, I come here every night, and now I'm really back here, it's just a little nostalgic." β
Rao Pei'er pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled teasingly: "It seems that you are really affectionate enough for this Miss Miao, and you have to come here every night to meet her in a dream, which is really romantic." β
Ran Sinian didn't bother to explain to Rao Peier, walked in front and led her straight to Miao Mei's office.
When he walked to the front desk, Ran Sinian realized that he was only a customer now, and he should inform the front desk lady, maybe he had to wait in line, maybe he had to pay.
"Mr. Ran, Ms. Miao, please go directly to her office with your friend." The unfamiliar front desk lady took the lead in greeting Ran Sinian with an unfamiliar voice.
Ran Sinian smiled silently and bitterly, this front desk lady is definitely not the one from a year ago, and the new front desk also knows herself, the ex-counselor who was fired, what does this mean? I'm a celebrity in the industry, but I'm just a celebrity with a bad reputation, in other words......
"Shame on the industry," Rao Pei'er joked with a smile as she chewed gum, "I searched the Internet last night for you, a former psychological counselor, and now a dream god stick." They gave you such a title, saying that you are a shame in the psychological counseling industry, and everyone in the industry knows about it. You see, even this front desk lady is snickering when she talks to you. It seems that it is unlikely that you want to get back together with that Miss Miao. β
Ran Sinian shrugged his shoulders and shot back as he walked towards Miao Mei's office, "I also searched for your name on the Internet last night, and it made me know that Rao Peier is just a stage name given by the company when you debuted, and your real name is what to do, what flower to rao, oh, by the way, Rao Chunhua." Now that your first and final film hasn't been released yet, you've earned a reputation as box office poison. I heard that when your contract expires next month, the company's boss will only renew your contract if you take the wrong medicine. I'm sorry, but that's Yu Ji's exact words, I'm just paraphrasing. β
Rao Pei'er laughed loudly: "Hmph, sooner or later, one day he will regret that he didn't take the wrong medicine!" Wait and see, there will be a day when I turn over! β
"Dangdangdang", Ran Sinian, who didn't pay attention to Rao Peier's arrogant words, knocked on the door and stood at the door waiting for the echo inside.
"Please come in." The soft and melodious voice of a woman who was incomparably familiar to Ran Sinian came from the room, like an invisible summoning, and the soft wings gently wrapped the body as pleasantly.
The moment they pushed the door, Ran Sinian and Rao Peier were stunned for a second, wasn't this woman sitting behind the desk smiling at them the tall woman in the elevator just now?
Rao Pei'er glanced at Ran Sinian with a wicked smile, this man is really sad enough, he doesn't know the woman he has been thinking about for a long time.
"Si Nian, long time no see," Miao Mei stood up, walked towards them, and reached out to shake Ran Sinian's hand, "It's a pity that your facial agnosia still hasn't improved." β
Ran Sinian smiled awkwardly, but his heart was overturned, at this moment, he told himself for the Nth time that he should die to Miao Mei for the last time, he actually couldn't even recognize the woman he used to be, and the woman he still remembered, what qualifications and face did he have to remember others?
Rao Peier looked at Miao Mei, this time she looked seriously, different from a glimpse in the elevator. This is a typical capable woman with the image of a strong woman, not pretty, but very temperamental and aura, with a mediocre figure, but quite elegant, combing her hair in a low bun, looking a little mature, I think it is a professional need, and you need to give customers who come to consult and treat a sense of calm trust. It's just that Rao Peier always feels that such a cold woman is completely different from a quiet and beautiful man like Ran Sinian, and it is correct to divide it.
"Doctor Miao, my name is Rao Pei'er, I am a friend of Ran Sinian, and I came to you through his introduction......" Rao Pei'er was only halfway through her words, but was interrupted by Miao Mei's gesture to stop her.
"Sorry to interrupt, please don't call me a doctor, we don't have a psychiatrist here, we're just a counselor. Miss Rao, if your problem has reached the point where you need to find a doctor, I suggest that you go to a regular hospital to hang up in a regular psychiatric department and find a psychiatrist for treatment. Miao Mei was polite on the surface, but in fact there was a sense of hostility, and said firmly.
Rao Pei'er was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ran Sinian beside her in confusion.
"Xiaomei, oh, Ms. Miao Mei," Ran Sinian corrected her title in time, explaining for Rao Pei'er, "yes, she doesn't have any mental illness, she came to you just to receive hypnosis, and she wants to explore a forgotten memory of her childhood through hypnosis." β
Ran Sinian sat and waited in the reception hall of the counseling center for an hour, and Rao Pei'er's first hypnotherapy treatment was finally over. Miao Mei personally sent out Rao Pei'er, who looked puzzled.
"How? What's the catch? Ran Sinian asked weakly, because he already knew the answer by looking at Rao Peier's demeanor.
Miao Mei replied patternedly: "I have done my best, but Miss Rao belongs to the type that is extremely difficult to be hypnotized, mainly because of the inability to concentrate, and there may be a subconscious resistance to me personally. In short, this hypnosis ended in failure. If Miss Rao is willing to continue to try, I will naturally open the door here to welcome her. β
Rao Peier followed behind Ran Sinian quite lost, said a few polite words of thanks to Miao Mei, and then said goodbye.
"Miss Rao, don't you mind if I talk to Mr. Ran alone, right?" After Miao Mei sent them to the elevator, she said to Rao Peier coldly.
Rao Peier has been immersed in the loss of her own inability to be hypnotized, thinking that the couple is going to talk about some past relationship problems, so she knowingly said that she will wait for Ran Sinian in the car downstairs.
"Go back to my office," Miao Mei said solemnly, "It's not convenient here." β
Ran Sinian vaguely felt that Miao Mei's demeanor was not normal, and I am afraid that things were not as simple as what was just said.
Closing the door of the office, Miao Mei sighed and got to the point, "I just hypnotized Rao Peier, that's right, the hypnosis just now was not a complete failure, and she is not the kind of person who is extremely difficult to be hypnotized, on the contrary, she is very easy to be hypnotized." But when I guided her back to her childhood to remember the box with the secret, she got stuck, and no matter how many times I tried to guide her through that obstacle, I failed. β
"Stuck? What do you mean......" Ran Sinian immediately thought of the answer, and the answer in his heart surprised his whole body. Sure enough, it was much more serious and interesting than he had imagined.
"That's right, there was already a highly skilled hypnotist who hypnotized her before me and sealed that crucial memory. It's like someone locked her memory, even though I have a lot of keys in my hand, but I can't open the lock, in this world, the only key that can open the lock is only in the hands of the hypnotist who created the lock," Miao Mei knew that Ran Sinian was also knowledgeable, and there was no need to explain too much in this regard, "It seems that Rao Peier does have a secret, and it is a very important secret, otherwise there would not be such a powerful hypnotist who would install such a firm lock in her memory." The reason why I didn't tell her about this fact was because if she learned about it, it would be tantamount to strengthening the lock again, and it would be even more difficult to unlock it in the future. β
Ran Sinian's face changed from solemn to interested smile, "This is very interesting, Rao Pei'er, it's a challenge." β
"What do you mean by that?" Miao Mei asked with a little displeasure.
Ran Sinian raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "You just said something I don't agree with, you said that the key to open the lock of Rao Pei'er's memory is in the hand of that hypnotist, I don't see it, maybe this key, I can find it in another place." β
Miao Mei paused for a moment, and immediately understood, "The place you are talking about is Rao Pei'er's dream?" Hmph, it looks like we're going to have another competition this time to see if my hypnosis is great, or if your dream interpretation therapy is better? But I warn you that if you think of Rao as a difficult puzzle or a challenge to pass the time, you have to be careful not to get into trouble. β
Ran Sinian shrugged innocently, "Rotten peach blossoms? β
"Yes," Miao Mei stared at Ran Sinian playfully, "I did hypnotize Rao Pei'er just now, for personal reasons, mainly curiosity, I asked her some questions about you, and her answer, of course, was honest from the heart, which made me very happy and worried for you." β
"Oh?" Ran Sinian smiled and asked, "What did you ask her?" β
Miao Mei walked up to Ran Sinian and whispered, "I asked her if she liked you." Her answer was yes. β
Ran Sinian's smile froze on his face, and after a second, he laughed dryly twice, "Okay, it's time for me to leave, I don't want her to wait too long below." β
Miao Mei pursed her lips, with a look of unconcealed jealousy, and sent Ran Sinian out of the office, seeing that Ran Sinian turned around to leave, she couldn't help but shout, "Si Nian, take care of yourself." β
Ran Sinian's footsteps paused, and he didn't look back, trying to respond in a brisk voice, "You too." β
