Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

The child happily ran off with the lollipop, and Wen Ying headed to the Zhang family’s door, carrying a small, transparent box.

The small, transparent box was soft, made of some unknown material that felt pleasant to the touch.

If she recalled correctly, this was the first time Wen Ying had visited Uncle Zhang’s home since coming to this world.

Uncle Zhang’s home was only a four or five-minute walk from the general store. It was located in a rather old residential complex where the buildings’ colors had faded. Most of the residents were elderly.

Or multi-generational households.

Wen Ying found Uncle Zhang’s home easily and knocked on the door.

She knocked for quite a while, but no one answered.

Just as Wen Ying was contemplating how to get inside and check on them, the door opened. She saw Aunt Zhang, who looked clearly exhausted.

But when she saw Wen Ying, a flash of joy crossed her face. "Little Ying, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie, are you and Uncle all right? I was going to stop by the general store, but I saw it wasn’t open, so I came to check on you both."

"Come in, quickly."

Fighting through her exhaustion, Aunt Zhang tried to get some water, but Wen Ying stopped her.

"Auntie, you and Uncle are this exhausted because of his father, aren’t you? Please, don’t trouble yourself. I came to see you both about this very matter."

"Little Ying, this has nothing to do with you. His father’s affairs are our responsibility. You’ve already helped us more than enough." Aunt Zhang knew that if Wen Ying were to help them, it might take a great toll on her.

’But Little Ying is so young. She has a wonderful life ahead of her. How can she get mixed up in the troubles of old people like us?’

"Auntie, when I was in trouble before, you and Uncle went out of your way to take care of me, treating me like family. Are you saying you don’t see me as family anymore?" As she spoke, Wen Ying took out the soft, transparent box.

"This is some medicine I brought for you and Uncle. If you trust me, you can take it now."

Uncle Zhang must have heard them, because he came out of the bedroom. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

His condition seemed even worse than Aunt Zhang’s.

"Little Ying, I can’t just take this from you for nothing. It must have cost you a great deal, right?"

"Uncle, Auntie, if you refuse, then I’ll do the same to you from now on."

Seeing Wen Ying’s determined expression, Aunt Zhang sighed. "All right! Since Little Ying insists, your uncle and I will accept the medicine. It makes me very happy that you see us as your own family."

Aunt Zhang felt a wave of emotion. After all, when Wen Ying first arrived, they were complete strangers who didn’t trust each other. Things had nearly become a farce.

Reaching this point was, as the internet slang goes, a "two-way street."

It wasn’t just romantic love and friendship that needed to be a two-way street; family affection did as well.

After watching Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang take the medicine and telling them to rest well, Wen Ying left.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang were lying in bed, experiencing a strange sensation.

Wen Ying had just left Uncle Zhang’s home and hadn’t even made it back to the clinic when she received a call from Director Wen.

Director Wen was inviting Wen Ying to participate in a variety show called *Let’s Adventure Together*. His team had been re-assembled, all the project plans were finalized, and they were just waiting to begin shooting.

Thinking about the situation with Chaochao’s mother, Wen Ying agreed to meet Director Wen at the location he mentioned in three days.

Director Wen wanted to start promoting the show online ahead of time, and Wen Ying agreed.

Tomorrow was the day Chaochao’s mother could see Chaochao.

As she passed the only hotel on the street, Wen Ying spotted Qin Hanyun. He had bought some food and was heading upstairs with a bag. He smiled and greeted her when he saw her.

"Doctor Wen, thank you. Once this business with Chaochao’s mother is concluded, I will get to the bottom of what happened to my sister. I won’t let a single guilty person get away."

Wen Ying nodded and turned to leave.

But Qin Hanyun turned and hurried after her. "Doctor Wen, I was wondering, will anything go wrong tomorrow? Will you be there to help?"

"I won’t."

Qin Hanyun was a little disappointed, but he didn’t push the matter.

’In his eyes, every action of an expert like Doctor Wen must have some hidden meaning. He couldn’t force her, even if he hoped she would help.’

Wen Ying returned to the clinic. After going upstairs to give Chaochao’s mother the food, Qin Hanyun called his assistant.

The news from his assistant made Qin Hanyun immediately open Weibo and check the trending topics.

#EerieLivestream

Just two simple words, yet they were trending in the top five!

’Eerie Livestream... is it related to Doctor Wen?’

Qin Hanyun didn’t usually watch livestreams, so he wasn’t aware of this and had no idea what had happened the night before.

He clicked on the trending topic.

He watched a video uploaded by a user. The video was... how to put it? It seemed to be terribly shot.

’Why does it keep cutting to static?’

It felt just like an old black-and-white TV from the seventies or eighties—the signal would drop, and the screen would be completely filled with static.

’So many years had passed, and technology had gone through generations of updates. How could a problem like this still happen?’

’Unless the person who filmed it edited it in on purpose.’

But the more he watched, the more Qin Hanyun frowned.

He would watch for a bit, then glance at the user comments below.

This video is terribly recorded! But for some reason, I can’t help but feel scared.

Same as the user above, you’re not the only one. There’s clearly nothing to it, so why does it feel like we’re looking into another world?

This Doctor Wen is the one who’s always trending, right? Doesn’t she usually stream her consultations? Was there some kind of broadcasting incident this time?

Streamers like this always crash and burn eventually. I saw this coming a mile away. Just call me the Truth Master!

Did the user above leave their brain at home today? How exactly did Doctor Wen crash and burn? You didn’t even watch the stream and you’re here spouting nonsense? I watched the entire stream last night from start to finish! I just want to tell everyone that this video captured something that humans aren’t meant to see, which is why it was made to disappear!

Don’t project your own ignorance onto Doctor Wen’s intentions. I believe in her, and I’m sure she did this for a profound reason!

This whole thing looks like it’s from the underworld. And to top it off, it’s all choppy and intermittent. I just want to say, can’t we get some content from the mortal world for a change?

Hundreds of comments were popping up under the trending topic every minute. The video was a hotbed of discussion, with opinions ranging from praise to criticism.

The user who had originally posted the video also left a reply, which they then pinned to the top of the comments: Doctor Wen was right, the things I recorded really do disappear. I guess that world can’t be revealed to the public. Even though not everyone can see it, at least I’ve proven that world exists! I know a lot of people doubt me, but there were over 80,000 viewers in the livestream last night. They can all vouch for me!

And below his pinned reply, countless users who had witnessed the event came forward to back him up.

But for anyone who hadn’t experienced it firsthand, the whole thing was simply too preposterous.
