"Doctor, I really didn't lie. I'm going crazy..."

In an old building, in a narrow office with "Psychological Counseling" hanging on it, Li Mengmeng looked at the psychiatrist opposite the desk who was wearing a white coat and a pair of glasses with a haggard face. He was trembling nervously. "From that day on, I never dared to see my best friend again. I'm serious. I felt like I was being targeted by something. That person, he..."

"It's terrible, really, terrible."

"..."

"Haha, don't be nervous, your situation is very common."

The psychiatrist smiled and pushed up his glasses, looked at the documents in front of him, and said, "Are you graduating soon?"

Li Mengmeng nodded. "Yes, but..."

"That's it..."

The psychiatrist smiled and said, "You have just graduated and are looking for a job and starting a family. It is normal for you to be under a lot of psychological pressure. But you don't have to worry. There are still a lot of jobs now. You should pay attention to managing your emotions and not putting so much pressure on yourself..."

"No, it's really not..."

Li Mengmeng interrupted the psychiatrist and bit his lip hard.

All kinds of weird things that happened in the past two days could not help but appear in her mind.

After she ran away from her best friend's house that night, she never dared to see her again.

But the next day, my best friend called me as if nothing had happened, asking me what was wrong, and wanted to come over to see me.

I was so scared that I hung up the phone, and my best friend called her parents again, looking a little angry.

That nightmare-like scene left her without energy for the entire day.

When it was time to eat in the evening, I still had no appetite at all. My father specially bought ribs to stew for himself to eat, but he couldn't eat it.

"Oh, it's normal for good sisters to quarrel. They always have to eat..."

Dad filled a bowl for her and insisted on passing it to her.

"I really don't want to eat, you can eat..."

Li Mengmeng said, planning to go back to the room and lie down for a while.

"Crack!"

Before she could react, the bowl suddenly hit the dining table hard, and the soup and ribs splashed all over her.

Li Mengmeng raised his head in horror and saw his usually kind and smiling father looking at him with a sinister look on his face and said coldly:

"Reject me, the consequences will be serious..."

"..."

Li Mengmeng was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

She had a high fever, her body was weak and weak, she fell asleep all day, woke up several times, and did not even dare to see her father. Fortunately, Mom was taking care of him. While using a wet towel to cool himself down, he scolded his father for getting angry and cooked porridge for him.

"Why does it smell sour?"

While feeding the porridge, Mom suddenly smelled it and said with a smile, "Have you not changed clothes for several days?"

Li Mengmeng Then I remembered that I had indeed not changed clothes for two days.

Her face turned red and she asked Mom to give her the underwear.

Mom searched in the cabinet and found his own underwear. He held it up with both hands and smiled to put it on for himself.

"You go out first and I'll change it myself."

Li Mengmeng begged Mom, but Mom smiled and said, "What are you embarrassed about in front of Mom? Take it off now..."

The more he said this, the more embarrassed Li Mengmeng became, and he pushed Mom out quickly.

But while she was acting coquettishly, she didn't notice that Mom's face had darkened at some point.

"Crack!"

She suddenly threw her underwear on Li Mengmeng's body, then grabbed her hair forcefully and put it close to her face. Her eyes were red and bloodshot. It was impossible to describe the greed, anger, and banter in her eyes like a cat catching a mouse.

"Do you know..."

There was a sinister smile in her voice, "If you reject me, the consequences will be very serious..."

At that moment, Li Mengmeng's mind went blank, and his heart almost stopped beating.

Looking at Mom's gloomy face, she suddenly remembered the man she rejected in the coffee shop before.

Finally, the screams that had been uncontrollable started.

Dad broke in and saw an overturned porridge bowl and a bewildered Mom.

"Doctor, please help me, now my family almost feels that I am crazy..."

"But, but I really saw it..."

"..."

Li Mengmeng became more and more nervous as he thought about it, and subconsciously grabbed the psychiatrist's sleeve.

"Oh, don't be nervous..."

The psychiatrist lowered his head and looked at Li Mengmeng's hand, smiled, and said, "I've told you, you are under too much psychological pressure and your sanity is too serious now. You just need professionals to help you with psychological counseling. So..."

His eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, fell on Li Mengmeng.

Slowly moving downwards, sweeping over Li Mengmeng's figure, a slight smile appeared on his face:

"In the evening, I'll treat you to a meal first, and then..."

"..."

"Don't..."

Li Mengmeng was so frightened that he trembled all over and withdrew his palm fiercely.

She looked at the psychiatrist in surprise, having a bad feeling in her heart, but she was not sure.

"No?"

The psychiatrist took some time to adjust his white coat, and slowly looked at Li Mengmeng: "Are you sure?"

"If you reject me, the consequences will be serious..."

"..."

"Ah..."

Li Mengmeng let out a scream full of panic and despair.

She rushed downstairs quickly, covering her ears with both hands, feeling that the whole world had gone crazy.

She rushed to the street, where there were the most people, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She didn't dare go home or contact her best friends.

She was filled with panic but didn't know where to go.

In her vision blurred by tears, she saw pedestrians passing by her one after another, as if they were looking at a madman.

"Hello..."

There was a voice behind her, but it was a kind little girl looking at her with concern.

Li Mengmeng was filled with gratitude. The little girl suddenly changed her smile and looked at her sinisterly:

"Now, do you know the consequences of rejecting me?"

"..."

"Ah... don't come over..."

Li Mengmeng screamed again and kept retreating.

At this time, the people passing by him suddenly acted strangely.

Most of them were still indifferent and walked around quickly, but from time to time someone came closer to them and whispered:

"If you reject me, the consequences will be serious..."

After saying this, they had already gone away, but another person unexpectedly approached again:

"Do you understand the consequences of rejecting me?"

"..."

Li Mengmeng screamed, looking at the different faces with the same expression.

They used different words to say to her viciously, "Bitch, don't you understand yet?"

"You can't refuse me. From the moment I set my sights on you, you have been mine..."

"I want you to surrender to me..."

"I want you to put away that disgusting expression, kneel on the ground and beg me..."

"..."

"Who are you..."

"Please let me go..."

Li Mengmeng's screams were already hoarse, shrouded in a dense fear.

Her hair was messy and her body was weak. She squatted on the street and cried desperately, crying and screaming at the same time.

If reason is like a thread, then this thread is constantly being impacted. It has reached the point where it is extremely fragile. She can no longer even say anything else. She just squats on the ground crying and keeps shouting, "Spare me, please spare me..."

Pedestrians around looked at her from a distance and did not dare to approach her.

But in the crowd, occasionally a cold face will appear, and then disappear quickly.

Li Mengmeng's cry became weaker, and the collapse may only occur in the next second.

But at this moment, a hand was placed on Li Mengmeng's shoulder.

Li Mengmeng screamed in fear and sat down on the ground, crawling back while looking at the person in front of him.

It was a young man sitting on a motorcycle, with one leg on the ground. He looked a bit ordinary, like an office worker who could be seen everywhere in Satellite City. He looked at himself quietly, holding a tissue in his hand, and handed it to him.

Li Mengmeng is afraid of everyone and dare not approach him at all.

But the young man had a smile on his face. He stepped off the motorcycle stand, leaned over and handed the tissue to Li Mengmeng.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help you!"

His smile was warm and he comforted softly, "It's starting to be okay now."

It's New Year's Eve today, Old Ghost would like to wish everyone good luck in the Year of the Ox and make a lot of money in all directions.
