249. Be inducing
The next day happened to be the first day off in a long time.
However, for Makoto Kyushu, there is other work to be done today, that is, to go out with Xiaojing and help her overcome her psychological fears.
"Xiaojing, don't be afraid, let's go out."
Makoto Kyushu stood at the bottom of the apartment building, softly urging the shivering girl hiding at the entrance of the building.
Xiao Jing is wearing a pure white women's ruffled shirt and tight cropped jeans today, and sandals on her feet. They look old, but they fit in with the summer style.
Probably for the sake of her image, she rarely tied her long messy black hair back behind her head, but she still wore a peaked cap, sunglasses and a mask, erecting a heart barrier for herself.
It was the first time that Makoto Kyushu had seen Xiaojing wearing tight-fitting style clothes, so he subconsciously observed her figure with the eyes of a fitness trainer.
Obviously, Xiaojing is a housegirl who doesn't exercise much, her whole body is soft, there is no trace of muscles, and her shoulder bones are relatively narrow.
But her usual meal size should not be large, and she often eats some takeaway and fast food with low nutritional content, so there is almost no fat on her body. She is not short among women, she belongs to the slender type with a narrow top and a thin bottom, and she is a beautiful woman with a good figure according to public standards.
It's a pity that in Kyushu Cheng's opinion, her physical health is not optimistic.
If she wants to stay healthy, she must eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. It didn't matter if she would gain weight because of it, but her current figure, which had neither fat nor muscle, made people feel deeply worried.
She allowed herself to become this sub-healthy state, and I think it was partly because of social fear and inferiority.
Because of this, Makoto Kyushu wants to help her get out of the current situation and let her learn to love and value herself again.
"Alright, don't be afraid." Kyushu Cheng stretched out his hand to Xiaojing, urging and comforting: "Let's go out and walk casually today, don't be too afraid!" If something happens, I'll help you out! ”
"Hmm" Xiao Jing moved from the shadow of the corridor little by little, and stood behind Kyushu Cheng.
"Then let's go, the first stop is to walk on the street where there are not many people." Kyushu Cheng put his hands in his pockets and said kindly: "If you are afraid, follow me, just don't get lost." ”
"I'm not a child, I won't get lost haha, say such things to me. Pretty weird. Xiao Jing smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and said a word, and closed his mouth again.
After chatting with Xiaojing yesterday, Makoto Kyushu formulated a set of experimental plans for her to overcome social fear.
If social phobia and introversion are a disease, then according to Kyushu Makoto's observation, Xiaojing's symptoms are at most in the early and middle stages, and there are no serious psychological problems.
Her current situation is just pure autism and fear of communicating with people. For her, communicating with others is like asking a person with a fear of heights to ride a Ferris wheel.
But in fact, riding the Ferris wheel will not kill patients with fear of heights, and communicating with others will not make Xiaojing lose anything.
As long as Xiaojing can understand this and get out of her comfort zone again, she will soon be able to return to normal.
And what Kyushu Cheng wants is to push her at a critical time, and support her behind her back, so that she dares to take this step again.
Today's plan is not very complicated, Kyushu Makoto plans to take Xiaojing for a walk around Kamurocho, and then gradually walk towards crowded places, and take the opportunity to let her try to communicate with the waiter at places like convenience stores and restaurants.
"Let's take a walk here." Makoto Kyushu glanced back at the girl and led her to the nearby Kappa Street.
This is a relatively deserted area on the edge of Kamurocho, surrounded by residential areas with few shops and restaurants.
It's morning, and there's hardly anyone in sight except for the occasional sight of old people walking their dogs and chasing and frolicking schoolchildren.
But Rao is like this, Xiaojing is still very nervous, trembling when he walks, and he will tremble when he sees passers-by.
Seeing this, Kyushu Makoto wanted to hold her hand and make her feel more at ease. But considering the difference between men and women, Kyushu Cheng is a righteous gentleman, and he said that helping her correct her psychological problems is to help her correct her psychological problems, so he definitely took the opportunity to do transgressive behavior to her.
Otherwise, this sensitive and fragile girl is very likely to think that Kyushu Makoto wants to take the opportunity to eat her tofu, but she doesn't dare to say it because of her introverted personality, which causes her mentality to become more distorted, and finally makes this psychological correction training have the opposite effect.
"Good, proud." Xiaojing slurred his speech, lowered his head, and moved forward little by little.
The two walked through the entire small kappa street one after the other, and Makoto Kyushu kept reminding the girls behind him to "raise their heads", "puff up their chests", and "stride away" and the like.
The girl will correct her posture a little after hearing the reminder, but it will soon change back to the original state, so Kyushu Makoto needs to be reminded all the time.
All the way down, Xiaojing was already sweating, his thin legs kept trembling, he could barely stand on his feet, and he had to hold on to the telephone pole on the side of the road.
"What, are you tired already?" Makoto Kyushu stopped and turned his head to ask.
"I'm fine if I walk with my head down. But. But Brother Cheng" Xiaojing wanted to cry without tears, and said with tears in his eyes:
"Brother Cheng kept asking me to keep my head up, and deliberately greeted passers-by, so that they could see it and make my stomach juice rise."
"You've worked hard, just now." Makoto Kyushu understands this and gives her full respect and encouragement:
"When I was just saying hello to the old lady walking the dog across the street, I saw Ling also try to take off her mask and smile at her, right?"
"Ha, don't say it, I'm sorry." Xiao Jing lifted his mask and muttered embarrassedly.
"Is that all for today?" Makoto Kyushu asked again, "I see you're already very tired." ”
Although I only walked one street today, this kind of thing is gradual, and if you use too much force, it is likely to have the opposite effect.
"Well, let's go home." Xiao Jing nodded, exhausted.
At this moment, Makoto Kyushu suddenly felt a wave of hunger in his stomach, and a "grunting" sound that only he could hear.
"It's lunchtime, are we going to have a meal?" Makoto Kyushu proposed, "Or go to a nearby convenience store and buy some bento to go home?" ”
"Eh, are you eating?" Xiaojing was a little weak-hearted: "I still have instant noodles and quick-frozen dumplings at home, I can handle it, Brother Cheng can eat it himself." ”
"Well, that's how you've always solved it." Kyushu Makoto couldn't help frowning and preached:
"It's not good for your body to eat fast food all the time, anyway, it's hard to come out once, don't you go out to eat some? There is a family restaurant nearby where I worked part-time, and the fried steaks and pastas are delicious, do you want to try it? ”
"This." Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little moved.
How can instant noodles and frozen foods be better than freshly baked meals?
Xiaojing should have not eaten well for a year and a half, and it is inevitable that he will be tempted when he hears this kind of proposal.
"Let's go, let's go together." Before Xiaojing could say anything, Makoto Kyushu beckoned to her and took the lead in the direction of the restaurant.
"Eh, don't leave it and wait for me!" Xiaojing was taken aback and hurriedly followed, like a child who was about to be abandoned by his parents on the street.
