The 902nd Round

In the days after returning to New York, the pace was about the same as before.

After the start of the school year, Zheng Pianqi began to prepare for the competition, and spent most of his time in the studio to create, but he still went to school to pick up Sansan every day, and Zhou Yi did the same - Zhou Yi's words seem to have become a lot less recently, and he was a little cautious when getting along with her, Zheng Pianjiao was very clear, but he didn't know why he was like this.

It may be related to the conversation with Zheng Rinxu that day, or it may be because of the lack of heart that he did before.

Zheng Pianqi did not pester Zheng Rinxu to ask about the content of the chat that day, and Zhou Yi and Zheng Rinxu also developed a tacit understanding, and the two did not mention this matter after that day.

Zheng Pianqi goes to see the counselor once a weekend, because she is open-minded this time, and every time she passes, there will be obvious gains, and by June, the problems that have bothered her, and those knots that have not been untied for many years, have been dealt with 70 percent.

Zheng Pianqi learned to look back at the relationship between her and Zhou Yi from the third perspective, and when she broke away from the perspective of the "victim" of the relationship, she would have a new understanding of Zhou Yi's various behaviors - as the counselor told her, this is the inevitable result of two people with different emotional needs, and Rong Yue is just the fuse.

Zheng Pianqi did not have the stage of changing his perspective at the beginning, and he did not accept this view, but if he did not accept it, he would never be able to get rid of the victim's psychology, and it would be impossible to really get out of that incident.

Zheng Pianqi once asked the counselor in confusion: "Are you trying to prove to me that he is not wrong?" ”

The counsellor replied with a firm "NO": "Of course he was at fault because he understood your emotional needs and insecurities very well, but he never tried to really address them – what we're talking about now is that you shouldn't punish yourself for the emotional neglect and 'abuse' he once 'abused' you." ”

"You have to accept that you have had a relationship that did not end so well, in which you have pain but also happiness, and this is only a very small experience in your life, you can not forgive him, but you don't have to continue to be trapped by him."

Counseling requires a certain amount of understanding, and visitors must be willing to open themselves up cooperatively.

Zheng Pianqi later seriously thought about these words, recalling her experience over the years, and she suddenly found that the counselor was right.

She and Zhou Yi haven't seen each other for more than six years, she thought that if she didn't meet, she would forget, but in fact, her soul and spirit have been trapped in the past all these years, and her later relationships and dates are all a kind of forced repetition.

——

The past few months since Zheng Pianqi returned from Berlin have been very fulfilling, and her daily life, creation, and consultation have lifted her spirits a lot.

People's emotions and states will be directly reflected in the creation, Zheng Pianqi participated in the competition to prepare the work is an architectural landscape oil painting, the tone is visible to the naked eye is much brighter than before.

The results of the competition were announced in mid-June, and Zheng Pianjiao won the gold medal in the encirclement, and the organizers sent her an invitation to the award ceremony.

According to Zheng Pianji's previous style, she would not go over this occasion in person, she participated in the previous competition, basically absent from the award ceremony, and the organizer sent her certificates and medals afterwards.

But this time, Zheng Pianqi changed his mind and decided to take Sansan with him to participate.

The day of the award ceremony was June 20th, and the 33rd School had just finished its final exams and entered the holidays.

Zheng Pianjiao participated in the award ceremony and prepared a very simple white halterneck dress, with long hair curly and makeup that was not strong, but very exquisite.

Sansan's little skirt is the same color as Zheng Pianjiao, and when the mother and daughter stand together, they are very eye-catching.

The award ceremony was held in the evening, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, when Zheng Pianqi and Sansan were about to leave, Zhou Yi also came over.

"Daddy?" Sansan was surprised when he saw Zhou Yi appear: "Why are you here?" ”

"I made ice bread and brought it to you." Zhou Yi handed over the bag in his hand to Sansan, and said with a smile: "Let's go and put it in the refrigerator first." ”

Sansan took it, as if holding a little baby, and quickly ran to the kitchen with the bag.

As a result, only Zheng Pianqi and Zhou Yi were left in the living room for the time being.

Zhou Yi's gaze turned to Zheng Pianjiao, and after a moment of silence, he took the initiative to praise him: "Today's style is very suitable for you." ”

Zheng Pianqi nodded.

Zhou Yi: "Are you ready to go?" ”

Zheng Pian: "Well, right away." ”

Zhou Yi subconsciously touched his watch and fiddled with it, and casually proposed: "Why don't I send you over." ”

Although he didn't look shocked on his face, only he knew how much psychological preparation he had made before saying this.

In the past few months, although they have met more frequently, Zhou Yi has not "entangled" Zheng Pianqi as before, although they can talk and get along daily, but the emotions of both parties are very light, just like a divorced couple raising children together, they have the same tasks, but they have no feelings for each other.

In this mode, Zheng Pianqi's attitude towards Zhou Yi is okay, but Zhou Yi is not sure if Zheng Pianqi will still be like this when he makes a "further" proposal.

"Do you have time?" When Zhou Yi's nerves were tense, Zheng Pianjiao spoke.

Not a refusal.

Zhou Yi immediately answered: "Yes, yes." ”

Zheng Pianji: "Then trouble you." ”

Her attitude was good, but her politeness was a little detached, as if she was talking to someone she didn't know very well.

Zhou Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he reluctantly smiled bitterly, "You don't have to be so polite to me." ”

Before Zheng Pianqi could respond to this sentence, Sansan had already put the bread and came back.

Sansan naturally walked up to Zheng Pianjiao, took her hand, and said to Zhou Yi: "Dad, my mother and I will go first, and you will come to us tomorrow." ”

Zhou Yi: "I'll send you over." ”

Sansan showed a surprised expression and looked at Zheng Pianjiao in disbelief, as if asking her: Really?

Zheng Pianqi understood Sansan's meaning and nodded at her.

Until he sat in Zhou Yi's car, Sansan was very surprised.

——

When he really took this step, Zheng Pianjiao found that it was actually not difficult.

Accepting Zhou Yi's identity, facing up to his relationship with Sansan, and affirming his love and dedication to Sansan, these are not difficult to do, and she doesn't have to kidnap herself morally because of these.

His willingness to pay is his choice, and it is also the way he gets along with Sansan, and she has no obligation to give something in return.

In this way, Zheng Pianqi has completely lost his psychological burden.

The car stopped in the parking lot.

Zhou Yi put out the fire and said to the mother and daughter in the back row: "I'll wait for you here, just come down directly when it's over." ”

Sansan nodded.

Zheng Pianqi was silent for a few seconds, and after thinking about it, he asked him, "Do you want to go up together?" ”
