Chapter 25.1
Once, Jian Yao asked Bo Jinyan, “Why do you keep insisting that Fu Ziyu should be a forensic pathologist? Although he’s a highly skilled surgeon,, he did not specialise in forensic medicine. There are many highly qualified and experienced forensic specialists in the bureau.”
Bo Jinyan replied, “I don’t know them.”
Jian Yao muttered, “. . . So wilful.”
To her surprise, Bo Jinyan continued, “I previously thought that he would regain his self-confidence and optimism as time passed . However, it has become clear that there is a block in his heart which he cannot overcome. He has to confront it, otherwise he will never be happy. In psychology, we call this ‘desensitisation therapy’.
Jian Yao was silent.
Thereafter, she was firmly in the ‘bully and nag Fu Ziyu to become a forensic pathologist’ camp.
In response to this, Fu Ziyu said, “When women marry, they really pay more attention to their lovers than their friends*.” Then, he shrugged it off with a laugh.
*T/N 重色轻友 (zhong se qing you) – pay more attention to a lover than a friend; to value sex over friendship
He did not want to be a forensic pathologist.
