==============================================================================================

Li Huairou woke up drowsily and saw her own brother and eldest cousin, as well as Jiang Wanhe, who’d been beaten so his head was like that of a pig’s, next to her.

Li Huaishan and Jiang Chenguang were not at all embarrassed. They simply surrounded Li Huairou with greetings, pushing Jiang Wanhe out on the grounds that it was unsightly.

Jiang Wanhe had no choice but to go outside the ward with his pig face. He bumped into Luo Qingqing and a boy from another school, who was carrying a milk carton and a fruit basket in his hand.

Luo Qingqing was a little surprised. This person was a bit familiar.

“Are you here to see Huairou? She just woke up, so go in!” Jiang Wanhe said softly.

“Are you Jiang Wanhe?” Luo Qingqing was very surprised.

Jiang Wanhe was a little embarrassed, and he nodded.

Luo Qingqing just wanted to ask him why he looked like this. But Wang Di pulled at her sleeves. “Not going to see your classmates? Go. Otherwise, grandma will be anxious from waiting at home.”

Luo Qingqing nodded. “Then I’m going in!”

Wang Di handed her the fruit basket and milk, and Jiang Wanhe helped her open the door.

“I’m sorry, Qingqing doesn’t speak very well. Don’t take offense,” Wang Di explained after Luo Qingqing entered. “Her parents took her younger brother out of town. She lived with her grandmother since she was a child. Her parents only give her money, and they never come back all year. She’s been bullied since she was a child. If there is any offense, please excuse it.” Wang Di’s family and Luo Qingqing’s family were neighbors, and the two had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

“You’re welcome. Yesterday was my problem. I shouldn’t have blamed her without knowing the truth. If it weren’t for Huairou, I might have made a mistake. I should be the one asking for forgiveness,” Jiang Wanhe said softly.

Both of them laughed at the same time

Wang Di was truly relieved. Jiang Wanhe seemed to be very talkative, and the Jiang family’s attitude was so peaceful, so Qingqing should be safe in the school in the future. If the junior high school incident happened again, he really feared that Qingqing would not be able to hold on.

Also, who knew why, but Wang Di and Jiang Wanhe hit it off at first sight, and Wang Di told some things from his heart to Jiang Wanhe, including Luo Qingqing’s bullying incident in junior high school. “Qingqing has been like this since she was a child. She was bullied and always kept silent. That time, when she was beaten and hospitalized, only then did I learn that she’d been bullied by several girls in the class. Her personality is not so withdrawn; since that time, she… She and I aren’t in the same school, and I can’t watch her all the time.”

Jiang Wanhe felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. If Huairou hadn’t been awake that time, he really would have misunderstood Luo Qingqing, and the consequences…

Jiang Wanhe desperately wanted to do something to make up for the guilt in his heart. “Then, have you thought about letting her see a psychiatrist? In her situation, if you intervene as soon as possible, it may be better. I have a psychiatrist who I know. If you believe me, I can introduce you to him.”

For the people who could go to an elite high school, their families would naturally not be bad. Luo Qingqing’s parents felt very guilty about their daughter because they were away all year. Luo Qingqing was actually not short on money, but, in terms of the environment at that time, the word “psychiatrist” was a little lofty. She, herself, Wang Di, and Luo Qingqing’s relatives hadn’t ever thought of seeing any psychiatrists in the past.

Wang Di thought about it seriously and thought. “Is it really useful?”

Jiang Wanhe nodded. “My cousin had some postpartum depression after giving birth. After receiving the intervention and treatment of a psychiatrist, it gradually improved. You can go back and learn more. If you need it, you can call me, or find me on QQ. I’ll tell you my phone number and QQ number.”

[Tencent QQ, also known as QQ, is an instant messaging software service and web portal developed by the Chinese tech giant, Tencent. QQ offers services that provide online social games, music, shopping, microblogging, movies, and group/voice chat software]

Wang Di took out his Nokia and handed it over.

Jiang Wanhe picked it up and put his number in it. Then he and Wang Di added each other as friends on QQ.

At this time, Luo Qingqing came out with a smile. “A-Di, let’s go.” When facing Jiang Wanhe, she just nodded cautiously. “We’re leaving first.”

Jiang Wanhe nodded. “Okay, take care on the road.”

Wang Di sent Luo Qingqing home, then went home and went online to search for the relevant knowledge on psychiatrists. He then also learned about depression, etc. The more he saw about mental illnesses, the more frightened he became.

He decided to discuss it with Luo Qingqing the next day and take her to see a psychiatrist.

Wang Di was ready to fight a long battle, but he didn’t expect that Luo Qingqing would agree after he only tentatively mentioned it. Wang Di immediately contacted Jiang Wanhe and asked for the psychiatrist’s address and contact information, and he made an appointment.

After making the appointment, only then did Wang Di remember to ask Luo Qingqing—why had she agreed so easily?

Luo Qingqing said with a smile, “It was Li Huairou’s words; she said that my complexion wasn’t very good, and I said that I often had insomnia and couldn’t sleep well. She said that I could go to see a psychiatrist, and it may be effective. Her brother also said that he was under a lot of psychological pressure abroad, and when he couldn’t sleep, he would go to a psychiatrist to chat, and the effect was very good.” Luo Qingqing’s eyes were shining when she said this.

Wang Di was very distressed. Qingqing regarded the hints of kindness from others as treasures.

“Okay, I’ll go with you,” Wang Di said with a smile, touching Luo Qingqing’s head.

After that, Li Huairou no longer worried about it.

However, she still learned from Jiang Wanhe that Wang Di was the one who’d spoken to him about Luo Qingqing. Jiang Wanhe and Wang Di had become friends.

The psychiatrist told Wang Di that Luo Qingqing’s situation had become a little serious. The lack of parents in her growing period and the school violence she’d suffered during adolescence had brought great harm to Luo Qingqing’s psychological state. Fortunately, they’d arrived in time, and it was not too late for her to receive treatment now.

Although Li Huairou didn’t worry about it anymore, she still reminded Jiang Wanhe that Luo Qingqing had a mental illness and that she was seeing a psychiatrist, so it was better not to let too many people know about it. After all, in this society, acceptance of psychiatrists was not so high.

Jiang Wanhe took it seriously and immediately told Wang Di.

Because Wang Di and Luo Qingqing weren’t in the same school, Jiang Wanhe stood up for his friends and was very concerned about Luo Qingqing’s situation in the school.

After Li Huairou found out, she was a little speechless. The plot had been magically changed into this. In this way, Luo Qingqing was still alive. It seemed that there was a trend of getting better and better. And what about the female protagonist, Jiang Xue?

It was just that reality didn’t allow Li Huairou to think so much. Who knew if it was the aftereffect of a broken head. Now, as long as she was thinking too much, her head would hurt, even during reading and studying. The doctors also couldn’t find out the reason for it.

The Jiang and Li families were anxious and finally decided to take Huairou to the United States. The level of medical treatment there was more advanced, and it may be able to cure their daughter.

So Jiang Ying took Huairou to the United States.

After a year of checking and examination, it was still to no avail.

In the end, the two families gave up. Thinking of the doctor’s words, it was a miracle that Li Huairou hadn’t become vegetative. This little aftereffect was really nothing.

In this way, Li Huairou happily became a slacker. After returning from the United States, she still went back to school, but she didn’t have to do homework or take exams.

Of course, the college entrance examination was to be taken. Her several subjects added up to more than 300 points, and her family spent money for her to go through the back door to a third-rate university.

Others were embarrassed to mention this because Li Huairou had had good academic performance since childhood. If not for this incident, she could have gotten into a good college, and it would’ve also been possible for her to study abroad.

But Li Huairou didn’t take it to heart.

If it weren’t for that fact that eating and waiting for death didn’t sound like a good way to live, she wouldn’t even want to go to university.

“My lady, can you hurry up? We’re all going to be late.” Jiang Wanhe came to pick her up early in the morning. They’d made an appointment to meet Wang Di and Luo Qingqing today.

Uncle Li Zhao heard it, glanced at Jiang Wanhe, and said, “Why are you talking to your sister like this! You looking for a fight? It takes time for a girl to put on makeup. As a brother, you don’t even have the patience for that?”

Jiang Wanhe didn’t dare to speak out, so he had to shrink to the side and wait.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Huairou finally came down from upstairs. Today’s Li Huairou was obviously well-dressed and radiant.

Jiang Wanhe felt a touch of guilt in his heart. He’d inadvertently heard what those people said about Huairou behind their backs, and they said that Huairou was a straw bag beauty. And, among those people, there were his good friends and those who wanted to pursue Huairou through his relationship with her.

[Cao bao mei ren (草包美人). Cao bao (草包) means idiot or straw bag. Mei ren (美人) means a beautiful person. So this means she was a beauty, but not that smart and easy to deceive]

Of course, these things were all in the past. Anyone who tried to slander and hurt Huairou was a stranger to him!

“Let’s go, my lady!” Jiang Wanhe gave Li Huairou a gentleman’s salute and then stretched out his arm. Li Huairou proudly raised her head and took Jiang Wanhe’s arm.

When they arrived at the appointed place, they saw Wang Di and Luo Qingqing, who were talking intimately.

After the college entrance examination, Wang Di and Luo Qingqing had confessed, and the two officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if they were in different places, it would not affect their relationship.

In recent years, Luo Qingqing had been receiving treatment from a psychiatrist. Adding on the company of her relatives and boyfriend, her emotions were well controlled. It was just that she didn’t have many friends. And as for Jiang Wanhe, because the two of them were also in the same university, Jiang Wanhe had always taken good care of her, so they’d also become good friends.

“They’re here!” Luo Qingqing saw Jiang Wanhe and Li Huairou coming, and she hurriedly tugged at Wang Di’s sleeve.

Jiang Wanhe took his coat off and put it on Li Huairou while he nagged, “Who told you to go out wearing so little? Let’s see if you get cold or not! Look at Qingqing—down jacket, fleece pants! This is called winter!”

Li Huairou couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “You keep nagging, so next time Grandpa Jiang urges you to find a girlfriend, don’t expect me to speak for you!”

Jiang Wanhe immediately stopped talking.

“You’re here! Hurry and come in, it’s cold outside,” Wang Di quickly said when Jiang Wanhe put clothes on Li Huairou.

The four quickly entered the mall.

As a result, not long after entering, Jiang Wanhe seemed to have met an acquaintance.

The man’s attitude was very warm, and he came to talk to Jiang Wanhe, but Jiang Wanhe’s attitude was very indifferent.

Luo Qingqing also knew that person, as if he were an alumni of their school. “What’s wrong with him??”

“It’s okay. My brother treats him as a friend, but he tells people that I’m a grass bun beauty, and my brother overheard it,” Li Huairou said nonchalantly.

Wang Di’s and Luo Qingqing’s expressions changed at the same time. Luo Qingqing’s eyes changed when he looked at the man. “Why is he like this! It’s too much!”
