Ding Ruola raised her hand and stroked Fang Siyan's hair. The man's hair was a bit coarse. The short hair near his ears pricked her hand.
She frowned slightly. Her lips moved, but he couldn't tell what she was saying. Then she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Please don't ever forget me!"
Fang Siyan was startled by Ding Ruola's strange request. He suddenly looked up, grabbed her hand, and placed it on his lips.
He gently kissed the girl's fingertips and the back of her hand.
"I won't forget!"
Ding Ruola knew that this promise, like all the others before, had no magic power. The future would not change because of this sentence.
The only thing that could change was her current state of mind. Such words could make her feel a bit better.
"Why do you suddenly ask me to promise this?"
Ding Ruola didn't answer. Fang Siyan felt uncertain. He could only snuggle up to the girl. This intimate contact gave them both a sense of security.
They were leaning against each other, but their hearts were far apart.
Ding Ruola was still wondering if Fang Siyan would recover, if he would remember the past and then choose Gu Qianxue.
Her appearance was just like the female protagonist in a cliché substitute love story, merely a stepping - stone for others.
Fang Siyan was carefully pondering when a person would say such words.
Was it when they were about to leave?
He had a bad premonition. Could it be that Gu Tingjun had said something to Ding Ruola?
"Ruoruo, you must trust me. Don't believe anything that comes out of Gu Tingjun's mouth!"
"Okay."
Ding Ruola only replied with one word, showing no emotion. Since Fang Siyan was resting on her shoulder, he couldn't see the girl's expression, nor could he figure out the meaning behind that single word.
Fang Siyan felt increasingly uneasy. He watched the girl grow day by day, watched her gradually be influenced by the rules of society. He felt that if he let go even for a moment, the girl would slip away from his grasp.
This girl, whom he had longed for and finally got, might leave him because of chasing after him.
That night, both Ding Ruola and Fang Siyan suffered from insomnia.
They finally fell asleep, but had different dreams in the same bed.
The next day, Ding Ruola didn't go to the studio. She contacted a psychotherapy clinic. It was said to have the best psychiatrist in Kyoto.
The fee was not cheap. The doctor only received one patient a day and provided excellent follow - up services.
When Ding Ruola arrived, there was already someone in the studio.
The frosted glass door was thick and gave a sense of security. The decoration of the whole room was in a minimalist style with soothing color schemes, all natural colors.
The sofa she was supposed to sit on was extremely soft. The man in the room motioned for Ding Ruola to sit there.
"You must be Miss Ding!"
The man paused for a moment. "I'm your friend, Li Qianmo."
Li Qianmo had a gentle appearance. His face was very amiable. His faint smile made Ding Ruola feel at ease.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Ding Ruola first briefly talked about some problems in her relationship with Fang Siyan. The man could always point out the root of the problem right away.
"In your relationship, you're still too self - deprecating!"
Li Qianmo handed a bottle of water to Ding Ruola and motioned for her not to be nervous.
Both of them in the relationship were excellent. But Ding Ruola's lack of self - confidence made the relationship seem unequal.
Li Qianmo had more or less solved Ding Ruola's doubts about her relationship. He still watched every move of Ding Ruola, noticing every little detail about her.
Ding Ruola kept licking her lips and swallowing saliva.
It was obvious that the girl still had something to ask. "Just ask whatever you want. You have the whole day."
After Li Qianmo said this, he saw Ding Ruola blush. He smiled gently and waited for the girl to speak.
"I have a friend. Her boyfriend..."
"I'll just assume this story is about you!"
A psychiatrist had heard too many stories that started like this. The so - called friend in these stories was always the person in front of them.
Ding Ruola told the gentle man in front of her all the information she knew.
The man rested his chin on his hand and frowned slightly.
Not knowing the full situation, Ding Ruola thought Fang Siyan's condition was very serious. By the end of her story, her mental burden became heavier.
"That's all!"
Li Qianmo reached up and touched his nose. He walked up to Ding Ruola and placed a set of test papers in front of her.
The information provided by others was too limited, and it also contained the teller's personal feelings.
A story full of personal feelings was of little use.
Li Qianmo couldn't tell much from such a story.
If he didn't doubt the authenticity of Ding Ruola's story, he could initially conclude that the girl's boyfriend might be suffering from dissociative disorder.
This disorder was not common in China, mainly because many doctors classified dissociative disorder as depression.
But he had never come across a case where depression led to amnesia or memory confusion.
Li Qianmo could only infer that it was dissociative disorder.
Moreover, according to Ding Ruola's description, the new personality that had emerged had dominated the body for more than a decade.
If Fang Siyan didn't suffer any more stimulation in the future, there should be no further deterioration.
"Will he remember the past and then forget me?"
Li Qianmo was stunned. He didn't know how to answer the girl in front of him.
She had little security in this relationship. If he told the girl now that her assumption was possible, it would push the girl's trust in this relationship further towards the edge of a cliff.
"Bring him here then. Otherwise, I can't make a judgment."
Li Qianmo could only choose the most tactful way to tell Ding Ruola.
"Thank you!"
When the girl was about to leave, Li Qianmo handed Ding Ruola a file bag, which contained some test papers.
These test papers were used to assess Fang Siyan's current psychological state. If his condition was stable enough, Ding Ruola's worries were completely unnecessary.
"Do I need to finish all these questions?"
Li Qianmo still had a gentle smile on his face. He opened the file bag and took out one of the test papers and handed it to Ding Ruola.
These test papers were in duplicate, one for Ding Ruola and one for Fang Siyan.
They should do the tests together so that the person being investigated wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Ding Ruola left the clinic with the test papers in her arms.
Li Qianmo immediately made a phone call.
"Boss, there seems to be a new situation with Fang Siyan. Do you want to learn about dissociative disorder?"
He changed his gentle image instantly, and a gloomy look appeared on his face.
