Chapter 1632

Jiang Ci was stuck in a depressed mood and couldn't get out for many days.

She pretended to be relaxed and said to Xu Che: "It will be fine in a few days, I'm used to it."

Every time I face the darkness of people's hearts, I will be tortured by negative emotions for a long time, including her colleagues. Due to the special nature of their work, many of them have some addictions. Addiction to smoking and alcohol is actually a way to relieve stress.

A few days later, Xu Che asked Jiang Ci to have dinner and drove to pick her up early.

Jiang Ci knew that today's dinner was more formal and he wanted to meet Xu Che's family. She dressed up on purpose, wore a skirt, and hoped she would appear "ladylike".

Sitting in Xu Che's car, he found a medical publication on the seat, picked it up and opened it.

"Page 26." Xu Che held the steering wheel and said calmly, "You can take a look, it's an article published by colleagues in the Department of Neurology."

Jiang Ci heard the words and turned to that page, which was a discussion about the characteristics of adolescent brain development.

The general content is that in today's society, the incidents of juvenile delinquency or victimization are on the rise. From the perspective of brain development, it is because of the mismatch between the two major regions of the brain.

Adolescents are impulsive, risk-taking, and emotional because the limbic system, which is responsible for driving emotions, is full of hormones, develops rapidly from the age of 9 to 12, and gradually matures over the next few years.

And the prefrontal cortex, which provides sound judgment and impulse control, doesn't mature until around age 25.

For nearly a decade in between, there was an imbalance between emotional impulsiveness and deliberation.

Today, children around the world are experiencing early puberty, but the development of the prefrontal cortex has not matured earlier, which means that the imbalance is constantly being delayed.

In addition, there is another intriguing fact——

Adolescence is the healthiest period in a person's life, such as the immune system, resistance to cancer, tolerance to cold and heat, etc., are at the best level of life. Although the body is very healthy, the death rate is 2 to 3 times higher than that of children. Traffic accidents accounted for half of the total number of deaths, homicide and suicide ranked second and third. There are also very high rates of unwanted pregnancies and prison terms.

After Jiang Ci finished watching, she looked at Xu Che with a wry smile: "Why do you show me this?"

"I want you to know that this is a global problem." Xu Che held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. "If you think about it this way, won't you feel better?"

Jiang Ci couldn't help smiling: "It seems to be."

"Well, if you think about the problem in a general direction, your sense of responsibility will be relatively reduced, and your psychological burden will also be reduced." Xu Che said calmly.

Jiang Ci laughed: "It's really a wretched psychotherapy."

"I invented it." Xu Che glanced at her with a faint smile on his lips.

Jiang Ci was a little uncomfortable being watched by him, she turned her head slightly, her cheeks were slightly hot.

...

This time, the dinner was held at Xu Che's sister's house.

Xu Che's parents passed away very early, and he was brought up by his elder sister. His sister is ten years older than him. She runs a private restaurant by herself and is an Internet celebrity in the food industry.

She was very enthusiastic when she saw Jiang Ci, and praised Jiang Ci as more beautiful than in the photo.

Jiang Ci smiled and said a few words modestly, but she was at a loss in her heart, thinking to herself: When did Xu Che take pictures of me?

During the meal, the atmosphere was very lively. His brother-in-law was slightly fat. It is said that he gained weight after marriage, and his conversation was very humorous. There was also a pair of lively and cheerful children who talked non-stop at the dinner table.

Talking and laughing for a meal, we ate for nearly an hour.

Jiang Ci was a little puzzled: Why did the taste of these dishes have a sense of familiarity...
