Obsessive Young Master Wei: My Beloved Loses Control Every Night
Chapter 44 The Unspoken Silence
The family banquet has concluded successfully. Wei Zixian has taken that difficult step, while Bian Zhizhi's position is clearly more special and secure.
In Lu Fangchi's view, the invisible yet intense tension between the two, one awkwardly approaching and the other cautiously avoiding, was more entertaining and interesting than any meticulously crafted prime-time drama.
He was pleased with the outcome.
They even wanted to give it another push.
From that day on, Lu Fangchi's visits to the Wei residence seemed to increase subtly.
Moreover, he always "coincidentally" appears when Bian Zhizhi is present.
After arriving, he no longer focused solely on joking around with Wei Zixian as before, but instead devoted a significant portion of his attention to Bian Zhizhi.
Ask her about her illness, talk about her work, and tell her interesting stories from outside in an attempt to make her laugh.
His attitude was warm, yet he skillfully maintained a proper balance, preventing anyone from truly disliking him.
But both Bian Zhizhi and Wei Zixian clearly sensed the intimacy that seemed to be a matchmaking gesture.
Wei Zixian's reactions are usually very direct.
A cold face, silence, dismissive glances, or simply getting up to do something else when Lu Fangchi is speaking most enthusiastically.
For example, you could go to the window and fiddle with the potted plant, or go to the bookshelf and look for a book that doesn't even exist.
The outer branches, on the other hand, appear even more distressed.
She couldn't express her dissatisfaction directly like Wei Zixian, so she could only deal with it awkwardly.
Try to steer the conversation in a safe direction, or lower your head and pretend to tidy up your things to avoid Lu Fangchi's teasing gaze.
She knew perfectly well that the "couple vibe" that Lu Fangchi was happy to see was the very beginning of the "emotional breakdown" that Wei Yanqiu had been most wary of when he first hired her.
Whenever he spoke in that teasing tone, whenever he deliberately created ambiguous situations, Bian Zhizhi would break out in a cold sweat.
She must be more careful and more professional, bringing everything back to the track of "therapist" and "patient".
But some things, once they sprout, seem to get out of control.
That afternoon, Lu Fangchi came again.
This time, he didn't bring model airplanes or chocolates. Instead, he took out two movie tickets from his pocket and slapped them onto the glass surface of the small round table.
With the ticket facing up, the film title is clearly visible; it's a recently released romantic love story.
The time is this Saturday night.
Bian Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat.
Wei Zixian's brows furrowed instantly.
Lu Fangchi, however, seemed completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, and continued to smile.
"A friend gave it to me! It's a romance movie! I heard it's really touching and did well at the box office."
But I'm busy this weekend, I have to go on a business trip! It's such a waste to waste this ticket!
His gaze swept between Bian Zhizhi and Wei Zixian before finally settling on Wei Zixian's face, where he winked.
"Zixian, it seems like...you haven't been to the movies in a long time, have you? You should go out for a walk. Miss Bian,"
He then looked at Bian Zhizhi, his tone "sincere".
"You've been cooped up lately, haven't you? Perfect timing, let me take you out for a walk to clear your head, you're just getting better! You two should go see a doctor!"
Consider it... part of a healing course? To connect with society and experience normal social interaction!
He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, packaging "matchmaking" as "treatment advice."
Bian Zhizhi felt a chill run down her spine and immediately wanted to refuse: "Mr. Lu, this is not appropriate, I..."
"What's inappropriate about it?"
Lu Fangchi interrupted her, waving his hand.
"It's just a movie ticket! It's always more fun for two people than one! Besides, Zixian needs someone to accompany him, and you're perfect for 'guiding' and 'protecting' him!"
If Miss Wei asks, just say it's for treatment! I'll vouch for you!
With a few words, he blocked all the reasons that Bian Zhizhi might have given for refusing, and also took the opportunity to raise the banner of "treatment needs".
Then, without waiting for their reaction, he pushed the movie tickets onto the table and waved goodbye as if he had accomplished his mission.
"Alright, the tickets are here! You guys decide for yourselves! I'm leaving, I'm in a hurry!"
After saying that, he really turned around and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and gave them a meaningful smile before opening the door and slipping out.
"Bang."
The door closed.
Only Bian Zhizhi and Wei Zixian remained in the activity room.
And there were those two garish pink movie tickets on the table.
A deathly silence.
Bian Zhizhi stared blankly at the two tickets.
Want to go see a movie?
And Wei Zixian?
On a weekend evening?
Go to a crowded movie theater?
This is crazy.
Wei Yanqiu would absolutely not agree.
This goes far beyond the realm of healing; it's a blatant personal invitation.
She should immediately put the ticket away or tear it up, treating it as yet another harmless joke by Lu Fangchi.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Wei Zixian discreetly.
Wei Zixian was also looking at the two tickets.
His profile was turned towards her, so her expression was obscured; his lips were pursed.
He did not immediately show strong resistance or disgust.
He simply... watched silently, watching Lu Fangchi's seemingly absurd suggestion.
Wei Zixian suddenly moved and stood up, the movement somewhat abrupt.
Then he stood there for two seconds, said nothing, and sat back down.
He reached for the book he had just picked up, flipped to a page haphazardly, and stared intently at it.
But Bian Zhizhi was certain that he hadn't absorbed a single word.
His ears turned red at a visible speed. The blush started from his pale earlobes and slowly spread up his neck.
He was nervous.
Bian Zhizhi looked at his feigned composure, which was full of loopholes, and at the two movie tickets on the table that seemed like hot potatoes. Her mind was in complete turmoil.
Reject? It's simple. But what happens after you reject them?
Will it dampen his budding curiosity about the outside world?
Could it make him feel that even "normal" activities like "watching movies" are not allowed for him?
Accept? Even less likely.
That would be tantamount to dancing wildly on Wei Yanqiu's minefield.
Moreover, in what capacity did she accept this? As a therapist? A friend? Or... something more ambiguous?
She was caught in a dilemma.
Over the next two days, the atmosphere in the activity room became even more tense.
The two pink movie tickets lay in the center of the round table, thin pieces of paper, their edges slightly curled by the warmth of the indoor heating.
No one touches them, but their presence is so strong that people can't help but look up at them.
Bian Zhizhi sat opposite Wei Zixian, holding a case study collection of cognitive behavioral therapy in her hand.
The pages were covered with dense text, but she couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Wei Zixian's body was leaning towards the movie ticket.
He was thinking about that ticket.
she knows.
Because she was the same.
Bian Zhizhi raised her head, pretending to adjust her posture, but her gaze swept over Wei Zixian's face.
He was looking down at the book, but his gaze wasn't on the colorful bird feather illustrations, but rather on the blank space at the edge of the page.
His eyes rolled to the right.
He was looking in the direction of the tickets.
In just a moment.
It was so fast it felt like an illusion.
But Bian Zhizhi noticed it.
She quickly looked down and refocused her attention on the book.
Unconsciously, his fingers creased the pages of the book.
Distance must be maintained.
The thought rang sharply in her mind like an alarm bell.
From the moment Lu Fangchi put down the ticket, from the moment Wei Zixian nodded, things began to spiral out of control.
