Chapter 57: Past Trauma

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Past Trauma

After Yang Xin said "get out," she seemed to have fallen back into her own reading world, ignoring her surroundings.

Elder Yang looked a bit embarrassed; his previously obedient and well-behaved granddaughter had turned into this, completely different from before.

Zhang Huacheng and Yang Feifei showed no changes on their faces, clearly anticipating this situation.

As for Lin Xi, she appeared as calm as ever on the surface, but inside she was filled with excitement.

"Captured a Fairy Sister."

Her eyebrows were as picturesque as a painting, her delicate face flawless; her dark hair hung down to her waist, with strands seemingly glistening; her delicate hands soft as silk, her skin like snow made of white jade, as if she didn’t belong to the human world.

In truth, the three women’s beauty was equal, but their styles were remarkably different.

"Something’s wrong!" Lin Xi snapped out of the shock, as this granddaughter of Elder Yang showed no apparent symptoms on the surface.

Yet there was one thing, she was alarmingly thin, not like a normal person.

If this continues, it would affect her health, even her life, in less than a year.

Lin Xi confirmed again from ’observing’, not merely seeing no symptoms on the surface, but fearing she really had no illness.

With Lin Xi’s medical skills, she could see at a glance whether someone was ill or not.

However, if she wasn’t sick, why would she be so emaciated?

Definitely not a physical reason, otherwise she wouldn’t have changed recently into this.

Then why?

From her reaction just now, she seemed to have fallen into a world she set for herself, unable to extricate herself, thus immediately ignoring them.

Lin Xi wanted to step forward, but Yang Feifei quickly held her back, with Elder Yang lowly explaining beside her, "This is a safe distance. If one gets any closer, Xiaoxin will immediately wake up and drive them out, and no one can enter her room for the next few days."

"So if you don’t understand, say so earlier, don’t hurt my sister." Yang Feifei glared fiercely at Lin Xi, suspecting this person was a big fraud.

If no one could enter her sister’s room for a few days, she’d probably starve, as she wouldn’t eat the food outside the room.

"Don’t speak." Elder Yang reprimanded Yang Feifei.

Zhang Huacheng shook his head with a bitter smile beside him, when he found Yang Xin’s symptoms worsened, he could no longer approach her.

So how to diagnose, it was impossible then?

"It’s trauma." Lin Xi thought for a moment and continued, "Emotional trauma, causing her to have a barrier with people in this world."

"For instance, have you noticed, she hasn’t turned the pages of her book at all this entire time?"

"Seems like this." Zhang Huacheng then noticed, asking in puzzlement, "Could it be slow reading?"

He truly admired Lin Xi’s methods, for the analysis just now, matched exactly with what was happening with Yang Xin.

"No, Xiaoxin reads very quickly." Elder Zhang couldn’t help but get a bit excited, indeed this young friend was no average person.

As for Yang Feifei, she still looked down on Lin Xi, thinking any doctor should be able to see her sister’s condition.

"So are you saying she wasn’t reading?" Zhang Huacheng continued to ask Lin Xi.

"Yes." Lin Xi nodded, "Just like the ancients said, losing one’s soul."

"While in this state, she also set some untouchable points for herself, like the safe distance mentioned just now, so once touched, she would wake up."

"Often this is due to emotional issues."

Upon Lin Xi’s words, the three showed a very unusual expression, continuing, "Perhaps starting with a dislike for men, then a dislike for everyone."

Elder Yang and Zhang Huacheng nodded simultaneously, Lin Xi’s words were spot on.

"Alright, I understand the general situation. Let’s step out and discuss." Lin Xi said.

As soon as the four stepped out of the room, Yang Feifei eagerly mocked, "Stop pretending, surely you’re powerless."

"Elder Yang, I’ll first listen to the story." Lin Xi directly ignored Yang Feifei and looked at Elder Yang.

Elder Yang glared at Yang Feifei, signaling her not to mess around, then told Lin Xi, "Xiaoxin was very obedient from a young age, extremely excellent in all aspects. However, after graduating from university, she just returned recently, things changed."

He paused for a moment, Elder Yang smiled bitterly, "As for what happened during her time at school, we don’t know."

This was also partly due to their military family background, often influenced by the capabilities of soldiers, including counter-surveillance and confidentiality.

Yang Xin was extremely excellent in all aspects, able to learn things with just one listen.

Unexpectedly, the counter-surveillance and confidentiality were applied at school, resulting in Elder Yang’s inquiry yielding no clues.

"Surely you’ve suspected, thinking it’s likely due to emotional reasons." Lin Xi said.

"Yes, that’s what we believe." Elder Yang nodded.

Beside him, Yang Feifei was incredulous, her sister, who seemed detached from worldly affairs, viewed all boys in the same manner: men.

Given this view, how could it be due to emotions?

Were grandfather and the others mistaken?

Surely yes, misled by this fraud.

"Haven’t you consulted psychologists? Perhaps they are more experienced than us." Given the context, Lin Xi pondered.

"We did consult a group of the best, but it had no effect, and even intensified Xiaoxin’s self-isolation." Elder Yang smiled bitterly.

"Why?" Lin Xi didn’t understand.

Logically, psychologists excel at guidance and psychological healing, which is the fundamental treatment approach.

If relying solely on medication, it’s only nourishing the body.

Only after curing the psychological ailment, will she fully recover.

It was like this before and is still the same now.

Just didn’t treat well before, now missed the best treatment opportunity.

"Because Xiaoxin doesn’t care about these people, only speaking a few words to those she is familiar with and fond of, but we can’t discern anything from it." Elder Yang explained.

"Actually, I’m also to blame. If I had focused initially, Xiaoxin wouldn’t be like this today." Zhang Huacheng blamed himself.

Elder Yang patted him on the shoulder, saying it’s not his fault, the situation was unpredictable for anyone.

"You’ve talked so much. Can you actually cure my sister?" Yang Feifei couldn’t hold back, wondering how long the fraud would continue.

"Seen it and understood the situation, so I can definitely treat." Lin Xi confidently replied.

As soon as he spoke, Elder Yang and Zhang Huacheng nearly let their excitement overwhelm them, as this was the first time hearing someone say this.

"Really? Don’t trick me, I’ve read quite a bit!" Yang Feifei just intended to disprove Lin Xi’s lie, but didn’t expect him to say he could cure.

"Less is fine!" Lin Xi smiled.

"I didn’t say less, I said more!" Yang Feifei insisted.
