Actually, from the moment Shen Lan walked into the room and sat down, Sheng Mumu noticed something was off.0
After chatting for a few sentences and observing Shen Lan's facial expressions, she felt more and more that the symptoms were similar to those of people with social anxiety.0
Earlier, Mom Zhang had said that although Shen Lan had lived in the villa area for many years, she was not familiar with the neighbors around her.0
This showed that she was very withdrawn and afraid of socializing, preferring the company of small animals over people.0
(Social anxiety score +1)0
Since coming into the room, her expression had remained unnatural. Even when conversing, she always felt awkward and rarely looked Sheng Mumu in the eyes.0
(Social anxiety score +10)0
In almost every conversation, Sheng Mumu was the one who spoke first. As long as Sheng Mumu didn't say anything, Shen Lan didn't know how to initiate a topic.0
(Social anxiety score +100)0
When she saw the coffee being brought to the table, she froze instantly. There was a high probability that she was imagining "Oh no, what if she wants me to stay for afternoon tea, so much pressure!"0
(Social anxiety score +999)0
Finally, when Sheng Mumu suddenly called her by her full name, she became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.0
(Social anxiety score +10086)0
Based on all these characteristics,0
Sheng Mumu could almost assert that Shen Lan undoubtedly suffered from severe social anxiety.0
Shen Lan finally opened up to Sheng Mumu.0
Shen Lan came from a family of scholars. Her parents were both diplomats and the family was well off.0
As for her, she had been introverted since she was little and preferred solitude.0
Her parents hoped she could become an outstanding diplomat like them.0
Her parents' expectations were like asking for her life. When she still lived at home, they would fight and clash all the time.0
Later, she simply moved out to live alone. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and in recent years, her parents had not nagged her as much. Their expectations of her had changed from "becoming a diplomat" to "being optimistic."0
Speaking to this point, Shen Lan let out a soft sigh, revealing her helplessness:0
"Actually, I'm not that withdrawn. I have a lot of gaming friends. I can chat with them all night, until my keyboard catches fire. But when facing real people, I don't know how to get along. It's hard to make friends."0
Sheng Mumu's bright eyes blinked. She volunteered, "...If you don't mind, I can be your friend."0
Shen Lan's eyes lit up. "You don't think I have a weird, gloomy, and scary personality?"0
