But Lu Yinxing remembered a conversation from the classic movie The Shawshank Redemption.
In prison, Ruide said to the other prisoners: "This place with high walls is quite a magical place, at first you hate it, want to escape from it, as time goes by, you get used to it, and eventually, you cannot live without it. This is institutionalization."
Indeed, Ah Yan had spent so long in the cage, he had built a high wall in his own heart, and then became institutionalized.
He got used to the cage and couldn't live without it.
Or in other words, even now, he can't let himself off the hook.
Even though Zhou Dachuan said that his mother's death had nothing to do with him back then, he couldn't let it go.
Lu Yinxing didn't know how to comfort Ah Yan at all.
Could only pat him on the shoulder and say: "Ah Yan, don't think too much for now. Go home, have a good sleep, and leave the things you can't figure out to time. Let time solve all the problems."
Ah Yan obediently left the hospital.
