I go north, you go south

Chapter 14
"Psychology is the second course I'm studying on my own." Ling Bei still replied as a matter of course: "Besides, it's not often said in the TV series you watch that we high-society dandies like to see a psychiatrist when we have nothing to do." Wasting resources, and then moaning about nothing? I’m just adding height, and I’m here to get a degree in psychology, maybe I can use it to bluff and deceive myself in the future, and add some value to myself. This is a good deal.”

"Mr. Ling, your hobbies are truly unique and inspiring."

"That's definitely not as good as you. Your mother's illness must have put a lot of pressure on you, right?" Ling Bei said in a rare serious way.

"Mr. Ling is not curious about where my father is?" Nan Zishu suddenly asked a somewhat off-topic question.

Ling Bei's eyes suddenly dimmed, and when he looked at Nan Zishu, there was some faint distress: "No offense, I remember...you are from a divorced family."

Nan Zishu's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart tightened, and he directly avoided Ling Bei's gaze.

It's a very subtle feeling.

When Nan Zishu was eight years old, his parents divorced.In fact, it was her father Nan Heng who unilaterally abandoned their mother and daughter.In the next ten years of her life, Nan Zishu hardly heard any news about her father.As for the so-called alimony, it was only given piecemeal in the first year after the divorce, and then it disappeared.After all, it wasn't enough for him to gamble alone.Liu Ying knew what her ex-husband looked like, so she never contacted her again.

Nan Zishu has been very sensible since he was a child and rarely caused trouble.But whenever someone mentions her family, they always ask about her father.And then there's always someone pointing fingers.Children from divorced families will have inferiority complex, so after experiencing all kinds of malicious comments, Nan Zishu reflexively hates others talking about them.

But just now when he heard Ling Bei's cautious words and saw the distress in his eyes, Nan Zishu suddenly felt respected and understood, even a little cherished inside.

This is something she has never encountered and never dared to ask for.

"Boss Ling. You still know as much as before." Nan Zishu sighed, his voice became hoarse unconsciously, and he said with some self-deprecating.

Ling Bei looked at Nan Zishu, who was in a low mood, and joked with consolation: "Knowing a little more, isn't it more in line with the image of 'overlord' in people's minds? Alright, don't always call me Mr. Ling, It feels weird, just call me Ling Bei."

"Isn't it suitable?" Nan Zishu looked up.

"What's inappropriate? Firstly, it's not the working hours of the company, and secondly, we are not chatting in the relationship between superiors and subordinates. You can treat me as a bosom brother who can talk to you. Anyway, I have also studied psychology. It’s not considered undocumented work.”

Nan Zishu: It seems reasonable to say so, but I always feel that something is weird
"My father passed away when I was 16 years old, and he passed away very suddenly." Ling Beiwu said to himself, "He was very ambitious. As far as I remember, he seldom went home for dinner, and often saw each other for ten days and a half months. Not to him. Our family relationship is very cold, my father and my mother get along like colleagues, never ask each other, the only bond is living under the same roof and, me. Their marriage seems to me A cold business relationship, as if the purpose of marriage is just to need a partner and an heir."

A rare look of disappointment appeared on Ling Bei's face, which gave Nan Zishu the urge to get to know him for the first time.
