Chapter 60 - ✧ 59 ✧

Qiji tried a lot of times to let Xiao Mei Zhi feel that she wanted to be her friend, but she was not yet ready to accept the differences between them. The wolves, witches, dwarfs, and other hybrids that stayed on good terms with the Freis residence will be waiting for Xiao Mei Zhi to accept them deliberately in what they all are. She did not know what went wrong between believing a fact or not believing even if there was evidence, and she just thought it would be best if she had figured out how to sink into the dark side of reality.

Since she began leaving her room to see what was happening outside the residence and keep her word to go to a psychologist, she still did not find any involvement in eating, talking, and mingling with other humans.

She concentrated on standing up alone without getting dizzy or Qiji's support. Then, because the feeling of being a burden for Xiao Mei Zhi had not long left her conscience, she agreed to be self-sufficient.

And if Qiji left her alone in the doctor's office, that would be fine. But only if she shows signs that she can handle herself without Qiji.

Xiao Mei Zhi tightened her doorknob grip and hiddenly clamped her teeth. She would be fine even if they let her go.

Inside the psychologist's office, the doctor noticed the doorknob moved and opened. Xiao Mei Zhi then came into view. The doctor was stunned watching Xiao Mei Zhi, who glared as if she were being sent to prison.

When Xiao Mei Zhi unhurriedly closed the door, she heavily sighed as the vibrations were starting to fade away and focused on her balance as the doctor observed that whether the doctor cared or not, nothing would change the fact that she was not going to prepare in being questioned again.

Of course, it would not be the best even if she did put herself in a good and understanding way of why the doctor was doing it. Specifically, it was just doing its job.

It would not become easy for Xiao Mei Zhi, for every person has a unique way of dealing with their life or making something out of it in a better way, and it was not just about caring, loving, and keeping a memory that others wanted to take it away from her. She did not want to trust and expect hybrids or people anymore.

"I am Doctor Freis's friend, and my name is Xu Ri Tan. Your psychologist." Xiao Mei Zhi did not expect the doctor to introduce herself to her. However, when they met, Miss Tan did not show a sign of being friendly toward her. Or was she trying to wait for the right moment?

Xiao Mei Zhi did not set her expression in a friendly manner; she kept her glare going, "Qiji suggested me to do it. So I agreed. It will not be a problem for you if I feel forced here, right?"

Doctor Tan had a worried look for a few seconds, but her face turned into a smile, "I am fine with that, you may feel that you are being forced, but it is normal. However, when we are in the middle of the process of making you better soon," She looked at her coat and then the chair. "I must tell you something, Miss Zhi, and your situation is unfortunate news for your friends and family."

"I do not have those."

"Then what about the girl outside this office?"

Xiao Mei Zhi dug her right thumb finger on the lower side of her right index finger, and she could not deny Qiji. But, at the same time, she still cannot say she accepted her too. So she muttered her answer, "I do not know about her status in my life, and it seems you had recognized that when you watched us together sitting outside earlier as you continued walking on the pathway, you probably might think that you would be having a hard time figuring me out."

Doctor Tan's smile disappeared as she listened to Xiao Mei Zhi because she did not know what to say about that. While she was trying to reach out her hand to pick up Xiao Mei Zhi's empty form as a voluntary patient, the remote that was placed near the files slipped out on the table, which made the both of them frightened as the television that was located on the upper corner wall of where Xiao Mei Zhi was standing opened.

"For those team who participated in the previous pre-final result from the last competition has the opportunity to compete for the finals."

Xiao Mei Zhi's heart felt heavier than before as she heard the announcement because she knew it was not just any ordinary report.

"To our Audience! We are proud to announce that Free Fire World cup this year will start to search for the best team to compete for the finals!"

Doctor Tan picked up the remote while complaining, "Why do they keep repeating the word, compete for the finals? It is like the listeners do not know about it."

"Because that is their message to those who will enter."

Xiao Mei Zhi responded with her voice being rough and low sound. Doctor Tan got frightened about how serious she was. She was not doing well, trying to be on good terms with her doctor. If a patient found out how weak Doctor Tan was in the office, then many people from her lists would come out of the building and would not plan on coming back. Those who majored in psychology must have a strong mind.

"You may sit down now. But first, let me shut off the television."

"Don't turn it off."

"But we must do the rest in silence if you want to resume what we just started."

The mere thought of a team participating and the paused operation confused Xiao Mei Zhi. She hurriedly grabbed the remote away from Doctor Tan's hand because she could feel the adrenaline growing in several of her veins as she heard about Free Fire World Cup again.
