Chapter 151 Emotional Problems

"When I broke up with my first love, I was sitting in a similar shop with a similar seat." Looking at Hermione who was sitting across from her with a troubled expression, Alice said bluntly.

Hermione was taken aback by Alice's words, and changed from being entangled in feelings to entangled in whether to listen to gossip.

"Uh," she said after hesitating for a while, "is it okay to talk about such a private topic?"

Alice shrugged indifferently: "I specially wrote to ask for consultation. I think on the one hand, it's because I'm a psychological counselor, and on the other hand, it's because my first love is Ron's eldest brother."

Girls with emotional problems always have a phenomenon of "seeking medical treatment in a hurry" when looking for someone to confide in and ask for advice.In fact, Bill and Ron are completely different types of people, and Alice and Hermione have completely different emotional experiences, so they cannot give Hermione the advice she wants.

But as Alice said, this is her job after all, so she put aside the half-way experiment and asked Hermione to have a good chat in Diagon Alley on the weekend.

"I think what you want to ask me more than who you are with is how to enlighten Ron," Alice said helplessly, "but unfortunately, Bill and Ron have almost nothing in common, so in this regard, I am Unable to help."

Hermione nodded with a complicated expression. She actually knew that other people's advice might not be useful for relationship problems.But she still wanted to talk to someone.

"I'm not sure if I like Ron or not," she said shamefully. "I might just be friendly with Ron."

She did have a crush on Krum, but why did she feel bad when Ron didn't invite her to dance?Hermione thought bewilderedly.

"It's normal," Alice said without expressing surprise at Hermione's statement that she seemed to like two people at the same time, "There are two possibilities. The first is that you are a friend to Ron, and possessiveness also exists in friendship. Two, you like Ron, so you're not happy that he invites others."

"But which one?" Hermione asked. "After all, one person can't like two people."

"But you can have a crush on two people," Alice explained. "People's feelings are very complicated. Sometimes friendship and love are not mutually exclusive. It's just which one accounts for a greater proportion."

In her opinion, Hermione must have a good impression of Ron, which is based on a deep friendship.As for Hermione's affection for Krum, it comes from the other party's understanding and appreciation of her.

"Should I accept Krum's ball invitation now?" Hermione asked.She felt that Alice's analysis made sense, but what should she do next?

Alice: "First of all, you must not be influenced by Ron and look at Krum independently. If you really like him, I think you can accept it."

Hermione bit her lip, "But..."

"I said you don't need to think about Ron," Alice interrupted Hermione. "If you feel happy with Krum, then accept it. It's just an invitation."

Hermione heard Alice's implication: "Professor Hall, do you think Krum and I are unlikely?"

"I just think that you are too young, and long-distance relationships may be a bit difficult." Seeing Hermione's blank look, Alice showed such an expression, "You really don't think so much at your age."

And for Hermione, there was no need to think so much, after all, she and Krum were not together.It can only be said that compared with a pure and sincere child, Alice looks at the problem from the perspective of a secular adult.

Hermione shook her head in disapproval: "Although I may not be with Krum, I think two people who truly love each other will not be separated because of distance."

Alice didn't speak, just stared at one place in a daze.

"Professor Hall?" Hermione reminded.

"Sorry, I remembered my first love," Alice explained, "After all, the long distance was one of the reasons we broke up in the first place."

Seeing Alice mentioning Bill again, Hermione couldn't restrain her curiosity after all: "May I know the specific reason for your breakup? Ron has always been bitter about it."

From Ron's point of view, Alice was a bad woman playing with his brother's feelings.Because of her, Bill was depressed for a long time, and then fled England to Egypt.

"It seems that Ron doesn't know his brother well," Alice said with a smile, "Egypt is the place Bill has always wanted to go, and I'm really happy with his choice."

As for the reason for the breakup, she couldn't help but fall into memories...

"The exam is finally over!" Bill took Alice to find a seat against the wall, ordered two cups of hot drinks before continuing, "Now I'm not your junior."

Alice kept rubbing the wall of the cup, and forced a smile: "It's a good idea, even if I graduate, I will still be your senior sister."

"Why is your face so ugly?" Without continuing the topic, Bill looked at Alice's pale face and asked worriedly.

The milk was very hot, and the warmth could still be felt through the cup. Alice took a deep breath: "Let's break up."

Bill was taken aback, he observed Alice's expression silently, and asked when he saw that she didn't seem to be joking, "May I know why?"

Even at this time, even with the trill in his words, Bill was still so gentle.Alice didn't change her mind because of her attitude, on the contrary, she became more determined to break up.

"Now that you have graduated, what do you plan to do with your job?" Alice asked.

Rarely without a smile, Bill frowned and said, "You don't need to worry about this, I can..."

"No matter what you choose," Alice said first, "it is ultimately the result of your compromise. For the Weasley family or for me, no matter which you choose, you have given up your dreams."

Bill looked down at the blueberry cake in front of him, which he ordered according to Alice's preference.The dessert shop at dusk was dimly lit, and he looked even more lonely in the corner.

Alice watched intently, suddenly realizing that Bill was actually a year younger than herself.Although he was the eldest of the Weasleys, he was still a recent graduate.

"Did mother tell you something?" Bill asked suddenly, with a certain look on his face.

Alice didn't hide it, and in fact she felt that there was nothing to hide: "Mrs. Weasley just talked about the problems between us, and didn't ask me to break up with you."

Alice always felt that Mrs. Weasley was a very qualified mother. She dedicated everything to the family and worried about each child. Even though she felt that Alice was not suitable for Bill, she still chose to respect the child's decision.

Alice had been envious of the atmosphere at the Weasleys' house until Mrs. Weasley spoke to her.She lacked family warmth since she was a child, and she even fantasized about being a member of the Weasley family, how happy such a life would be.

After talking, she realized that she was different from Weasley and Mrs. Weasley.She yearns for the warmth of the family, but she cannot put the family first like Weasley, and give up everything for the family.

"I don't think there is any problem," Bill frowned. "You can completely pursue your dreams. Apparation and the international Floo network are very convenient. What kind of job and where is the place of work will not affect our relationship."

"But it's not fair to you." Alice took a sip of milk to ease the soreness in her throat. "You will definitely compromise for the Weasley family, and you can't compromise for me anymore."

The current situation proved her point.For the same problem, Bill was thinking about compromising and sacrificing herself, but she was thinking about how to solve the problem without affecting the plan.

Alice showed an ugly smile: "I still remember that in the library, you described the scene of your dream to me."

There is also the dialogue on the grass after being kicked out of the library.Thinking about it now, that memory was so beautiful that it was a bit illusory.Who would have thought that Bill Weasley, who had been steadfast in his dream at that time, would choose to give up, while the ignorant Alice Hall would be so steadfast in his dream?

"Actually, yours is a dream, and mine is more like a goal. No one weighs the pros and cons like me before deciding on a dream." Alice said.

"I don't agree with your point of view, but I also know that you won't change your mind easily," Bill looked up and looked at Alice. "I want to ask, do you really want to break up? Is there no room for it? You... ...Do you really want me?"

Alice closed her eyes and nodded.

……

Hermione's eyes were red, and she left emotionally.

Alice leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the familiar figure walking over, and was in a trance for a moment: "I feel that you haven't changed much after all these years."

"You are still so beautiful," Bill smiled and sat opposite Alice, "When did you find out?"

Alice also laughed: "No way, Weasley's red hair is too conspicuous."

Bill nodded: "This red hair is also very conspicuous in Egypt. Just imagine, under the scorching sun and in the yellow sand, the sparkling red."

Alice was amused, and she made a gesture on top of her head: "I have the impression that Egyptians wear headscarves."

"That's a stereotype," Bill said with a serious face, as if correcting some political issue, "like people always think that Britain doesn't have good food."

"I don't think the British are stereotyped." Alice complained in a low voice.

The topic ended, and there was a brief silence between the two.

"Actually, now that I think about it, my reason for breaking up was too high-sounding," Alice took the initiative to say, "It's like saying, I'm doing it for your own good, and if you're sensible, you'll immediately agree to break up."

Hearing this, Bill expressed his opinion: "Although it has been so long, I must say that I have always disagreed with your original point of view."

"I always thought it was wrong to sacrifice your dreams for love," Alice said, "but now I realize that's just my perception of right and wrong. Everyone values ​​things differently, and I'm not qualified to do it for someone else. Decide."

"So if you were given another chance, would you make the same choice?"

Alice glanced at Bill and found that there was only curiosity and sincerity on his face, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes."

Bill wasn't surprised, he just asked, "Why?"

"Because my concept makes me unable to understand the behavior of giving up my career and dreams," Alice unconsciously stirred the coffee with a small spoon, "I can't guarantee that you will regret it ten or twenty years after you gave up your dreams for me. ? Will you resent me for this?"

In fact, thinking about it now, why was Alice Hall not worried about this?I don't want my lover to give up my dream for myself, and more deeply, I don't want my lover to resent me for it in the future.

"So I always say, I'm a selfish person," she concluded.

"I don't think I'm the one who regrets and resents me, but as you said, no one can guarantee the future." Bill looked at Alice for a while, and once again showed a familiar smile, "I haven't seen you in so many years, I invite you Would you like to eat blueberry cake once?"

Alice didn't refuse.

When she was halfway through eating, Bill suddenly said: "The earrings I gave you at the beginning seem a bit childish now, and they don't suit your current temperament of scholars and professors."

Alice remembered that she was wearing sapphire earrings today.She hadn't worn the pair of earrings Bill had given her for years.

"Do you think you were naive when you liked dragons?" she asked.

The sun at noon is always so dazzling, it seems to be able to dispel all negative emotions in people's hearts.

Bill smiled relievedly: "No, I like myself at that time very much."
