After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 244 - 169: Just Like When I Met You

The two lay on the grass until they had enough, got up, and continued on their journey. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

It was almost noon, yet they hadn’t found any place to eat along the way.

Ning Youguang was worried that Shi Wangyue would be hungry and handed him a bag of opened bread, "Have some bread to fill your stomach first."

Shi Wangyue took a big bite from her hand.

Ning Youguang then gave him a bottle of water, "Traveling in the Northwest is like this. To experience its most beautiful side, you also have to accept its desolation."

Shi Wangyue took a sip from the bottle, "I know."

...

After driving for a while, they finally saw a small wooden house by the roadside, with some words written in Tibetan and Chinese on it. It was a restaurant.

The two parked the car by the roadside, ready to have a good meal here.

They walked along the stone path at the entrance, went into the shop, and walked into the dining hall.

There were other customers in the restaurant. The table was set with stewed mutton, roasted mutton, and several plates of vegetables.

"Have a seat, have a seat!" The shop owner, speaking in Chinese, was busy while greeting them.

Behind him stood an elderly woman, who was obviously the shop owner’s wife.

There was also a girl about fifteen years old in the room.

While sitting down, Ning Youguang accidentally bumped his arm against his spoon.

With a "clang," the spoon fell to the ground.

The shop owner glared at his wife, who in turn scolded the girl standing idly by.

The girl hurried into another room, brought out a spoon, and timidly handed it to Ning Youguang, her body bent over, her hands slightly trembling.

Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang exchanged glances across the table.

"Enjoy your meal!" The shop owner handed a set of utensils to Shi Wangyue.

Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue chatted about work while eating, discussing things like investment, teaching, and cases.

The shop owner had left the dining hall, but his wife remained standing nearby.

When the woman and her daughter handed a plate of fruit to the two, the girl’s elbow accidentally knocked over Ning Youguang’s cup, splashing water all over the table.

Her mother stormed over angrily, scolded the girl loudly in Tibetan, and pushed her away.

"Sorry, sorry!" The woman apologized while wiping the water off the table, "This girl is so clumsy."

The girl was furious; she grabbed the remaining fruit and threw it at her mother, missing her.

Fruit and porcelain fragments flew all over the table.

The shop owner walked in just in time and shouted, scaring the girl into running away.

"I’m sorry!" The shop owner rushed to their table.

"It’s okay, don’t be so harsh on your daughter!" Ning Youguang said with a smile.

Shi Wangyue got up to pay the bill, and then they quickly left.

...

Ning Youguang remained silent.

After leaving the shop and walking towards the car by the roadside, she spoke, "Did you see that girl?"

Shi Wangyue looked at her.

"She is a typical victim of psychological violence. The human desire to control others, if unchecked, leads to such consequences. The shop owner and his wife completely overshadow that girl. Did you notice how she seemed hunched over and tense?"

"I noticed!" Shi Wangyue said with a frown, "It seems she’s had enough."

"Yes! Her parents never let her go. From her perspective, she has no choice but to fight back with violent means. It’s the only way she can gain some control for herself. Unfortunately, due to the emotional trauma of her childhood, she will feel, as she grows up, that she must use equally intense means to gain control and dominate others. This personality trait will become ingrained, making her someone who uses violence against others, just like her parents, especially when facing the weak, particularly children."

After a pause, Ning Youguang continued, "In fact, we can assume her parents also suffered the same trauma in their childhood. They now have to dominate their daughter because their parents dominated them back then. Psychological violence is thus passed from generation to generation."

[In human culture, this psychological violence happens constantly, and perpetrators often feel they’re acting out of goodwill.]

"When two people argue, each insists their view on something is correct, trying to win over and overpower the other, attempting to destroy each other’s confidence, even at the cost of confrontation."

Shi Wangyue looked up at the sky, "I understand." His voice was low and deep.

"What do you understand?" Ning Youguang asked.

"If we systematically observe the movement of magnetic fields between people, we’ll understand what humans gain when they compete, attack, and hurt each other. That is, once we control others, we receive energy from them. We take things from others to enrich ourselves, which is the true motivation behind our actions." It was also the motivation behind Liu Susu’s control over him in the past.

The child really is very perceptive.

Ning Youguang silently admired him, "Yes, humans have tendencies to control and dominate others, even though many are unaware of it. But when someone tries to control another person, they are actually seizing that person’s energy to feel fulfilled."

"So, while we were eating just now, that couple was constantly seizing the girl’s energy?" Shi Wangyue thought for a moment and said, "The girl had been pushed to the brink of collapse by them. When they argued, I felt a strange atmosphere between them. They were pulling at each other, as if they wouldn’t stop until they had subdued the other."

Ning Youguang fell into deep thought, "Most people haven’t noticed this yet. Many people only know they feel weak and need to dominate others to feel better. What they haven’t realized is, in order to feel better themselves, they make others pay a painful price. They steal energy from others, and most people spend their whole lives searching and capturing others’ energy, indicating that they are always in a state of negative energy."

Shi Wangyue looked at Ning Youguang, with a gleam of light in his eyes, "But occasionally, there are exceptions. We sometimes meet someone who, from the moment of our acquaintance, is willing to voluntarily transmit their energy to us."

[Just like when I met you.]

Outside, the sky was crystal clear like a crystal, the sun shining brilliantly on a mountain peak.

Ning Youguang walked along the roadside, looking at the patches of white clouds floating in the sky through her fingers, as well as the distant mountains, with sunlight falling on her brows and hair, casting a beautiful glow.

They both walked slowly, their expressions calm, until they got in the car.

Shi Wangyue attempted to summarize the significance of what Ning Youguang had told him, "You’re talking about how to manage relationships between people—how we should treat children, how we should treat adults. You also talked about how to identify and dismantle the control plays others perform and how to establish new relationships with them?"

Ning Youguang nodded slowly. 1314
