Ye Yuwei quickly carried Xixi and kissed her head gently to comfort her.

What’s wrong?
Wen Jie, who entered the room together with Gu Tianmu, asked worriedly.

We knocked over a mug and frightened her. Everything is fine,
Ye Yuwei said and looked at Gu Juexi, whose expression was blank.

Be more careful, she’s been quite sensitive lately,
Wen Jie said as she looked at her granddaughter who was wailing.

Sure,
Gu Juexi answered indifferently.


Ye Yuwei carried Xixi around the room for a while before she finally calmed down.
It was a fact that Xixi had tried to scratch her, and the old Xixi would never have done that.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi worriedly after her parents-in-law left the room, and Xixi started to sob on her shoulder.
This was not a coincidence.

Let’s take her to Master Yaolao after the wedding,
Gu Juexi frowned and said, his arms crossed as he looked at his daughter, who was crying on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder.
Ye Yuwei nodded while stroking the little girl’s back gently.

I want Brother, Mommy,
Xixi sobbed softly on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder, scratching Ye Yuwei’s back in agitation. The longer Xixi scratched, the more painful Ye Yuwei’s back became.

Brother’s class finishes in a bit. Let’s pick him up together, shall we?
Ye Yuwei endured the pain and asked while kissing Xixi’s head gently.
Xixi nodded and finally stopped scratching her mother’s back.
Although Ye Yuwei pretended that it didn’t hurt, Gu Juexi noticed that she acted differently and followed Ye Yuwei when she carried Xixi who had fallen asleep back to her room.


Gu Juexi stood behind Ye Yuwei as she put Xixi down on her bed and told her not to move. She turned to stop him when he pulled her shirt up.
Two red marks where Xixi had scratched her earlier were clearly visible on Ye Yuwei’s back.
Gu Juexi frowned and looked at the sleeping Xixi after applying ointment on Ye Yuwei’s back.

I am alright. How hard can she scratch anyway?
said Ye Yuwei as if trying to comfort Gu Juexi, or maybe herself.
Gu Juexi knew that most people would be left with side effects after a traumatic experience, and that was exactly why they had their own psychologist in the army, whom they spoke to after every mission.
It was known as post-traumatic stress disorder.
A car accident, witnessing a murder, or even being a victim of a violent crime could cause post-traumatic stress disorder.
Xixi had been a hostage, the dagger had actually cut her neck, and she had witnessed Wen Lan’s death. All of those incidents had traumatized her, but Gu Juexi didn’t expect the effects to surface after so long. He thought that she was just too afraid to leave her mother’s side, but it looked like she was starting to get violent when she didn’t get what she wanted.
Gu Juexi sat beside the bed and reached out to touch Xixi’s face softly. He once had the same condition, and it took a very long while for him to recover.
The good thing was that it was not deadly or incurable.


It was more that it was an illness that took time to heal.

She will be fine. Her condition shouldn’t be as bad as you think, and it is actually easier for her to overcome this since she is young,
Gu Juexi said softly as he put his arm around Ye Yuwei’s shoulder.
Ye Yuwei nodded and asked,
How do you know about it?
