Zhang Man stayed with Li Wei for nearly a week. She was finally urged to go home by Zhang Huifang’s fatal phone call that morning.

Although Li Wei’s villa area was luxurious and beautiful, it was far from the city center and extremely inconvenient for these two high school students who couldn’t drive.

Before Zhang Man went home, she suggested that Li Wei should move back to the apartment in the city. That way it would be convenient for her to accompany him every day.

On the seventh day of the new year, they dragged a big suitcase and took a taxi back to the seascape.

At the beginning of the New Year, N City always had a sunny day. The snow almost melted away in a few days. Only the corners of each street still had a bit of white snow left.

The apartment buildings in the center of the city were indeed much busier than the villa area halfway up the mountain. People went from home to home joyfully during the annual holiday to get together with their relatives and friends who they had not seen for a long time.

They were just going up the stairs when they met the aunt next door who was taking out the garbage. The aunt just saw them and was confused. After a while, she said hello to them with a smile. She said, “Did you two make up? Young man, don’t run away from home any more. The little girl was worried. She cried so much that even I was worried.”

Zhang Man knocked at her door a few days ago and cried in front of her without thinking. In retrospect, it’s really humiliating.

She smiled, blushed, and hurried the youth to open the door and go into the home.

“Man Man?”

He reached out and rubbed her head, then pinched her face.

Zhang Man’s lips twitched and said, “It’s your fault. I couldn’t find you for a few days, so I always cried at your door. The aunt saw me several times…”

The boy’s hand paused.

After a long time, he lowered his head and said seriously in her ear, “… I’m sorry, Man Man.”

Zhang Man poked him on the forehead. “You don’t need to be, just don’t run away, boyfriend.”

The boy’s voice was low and serious, “Okay, I’ll never do it ever.”

Because of Li Wei’s mental illness, she accompanied him to the hospital.

Today was the seventh day of the new year. All departments in the hospital had gone back to work. Zhang Man made an appointment online with the same doctor from before.

This time, the youth went in for an examination honestly. Unsurprisingly, after going through an evaluation of his behavioral responses and brain scans, the doctor concluded that in addition to the paranoia diagnoses from last time, he also had moderate depression.

Zhang Man was relieved to see that there was a conclusion.

The situation was much better than she thought.

Moderate depression might cause suicide, but it could be treated for the most part, and many patients would not really do anything extreme.

Perhaps it was because she took him to see the world from the start, and his view of the world did not collapse. She had a certain effect on him. Moreover, the youth’s mood had improved greatly since he saw her last night.

The only problem was his very serious paranoia.

The doctor suggested that Li Wei should come for psychological treatment once or twice a week instead of using drugs. Zhang Man definitely agreed.

She knew that his disease would be a long struggle between the two of them. In the past, he took a lot of medicine, received long-term psychological treatment, and even hired a private psychologist in his previous life. However, he finally died from a meltdown due to his mental illness and depression.

So she didn’t expect him to be healed immediately.

As long as he could control it to a certain extent, she would be happy.

After going to the hospital, the youth sent her home.

When they arrived at the stairs to Zhang Man’s house, she held the youth’s sleeve and did not not dare to go up.

Zhang Man had this lingering fear from him saying goodbye to her here last time.

In the end, she reluctantly went up under his promise.

After a few days since the “video crisis” happened, it was a bit awkward to see Zhang Huifang again.

Zhang Man rubbed her nose, went in and poked her head into the living room.

Sure enough, her mother was sitting on the sofa and waiting for her with an indifferent look.

“Do you still know how to come back home? I thought you were going to live with that brat.”

Zhang Man immediately changed the topic.

“Mom, have you decided on a wedding date?”

She remembered that she said it would be this year.

Fortunately, Zhang Huifang didn’t want to make things too difficult for her. “What wedding? Uncle Xu and I are both old. We have been discussing it for a while, and we plan to invite the families and some friends to have a meal on the Lantern Festival1. Just a little get together for a little while.”

Zhang Huifang sighed after speaking. “Zhang Man, I only have a few friends here besides your Aunt Xu, and only you to support me there. Xu Shang’s family has many relatives, so he will probably have two tables. Wouldn’t the amount of guests he have be way more compared to mine?”

As she spoke, her eyes lit up again. “Oh, right, Zhang Man, you can also invite Feier. Also, have your little boyfriend come and support me. Feier is sweet, and not like how shy you are, so she can coax all the relatives to be nice. My reputation will be good… And your little boyfriend, although he is as shy as you, he’s sort of handsome. That’ll be pretty valuable, they can be dazzled by him.”

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She jumped over Zhang Man’s suggestion and settled on some decisions.

Zhang Man could only gape. “…”

Her mother’s brain circuit was really strange—ask her best friend and boyfriend to attend her mother’s wedding together?

That image was extremely beautiful.
