Chapter 302: Chapter 302: The Leader is Jiang Zhe

"He Ling came back and had a huge fight with your father, who ended up hitting him and throwing him out in the rain all night. He developed a high fever from that, and when he woke up, it was as though he had forgotten all about it. Afterwards, he got into racing and rock climbing, and your father and I actually thought he had found his true interests and hobbies."

Jiang Zhe put down his chopsticks and slowly drank water as he listened.

Lei Xiu said in a calm voice, "That’s not it, he was just suppressing his desires. You wanted him to be brave, to be like a boy, so he became what you thought a boy should be like. But that’s just what you thought a boy was. Be it BJD dolls or figurines, nobody says only girls can like them. Mr. He, Mrs. He, the makeup and modification of BJD dolls have become an industry, and many men work in this area too.

"He Ling loves you and doesn’t want to lose your love, so he suppressed himself. But this suppression has brought him to the brink of self-destruction. Every unnecessary wound he inflicts on himself is just to prove to you that he is the son you want to have.

"If you don’t change, it might be too late."

Lei Xiu’s words struck the couple heavily in their hearts.

He Zizhou, however, looked towards Jiang Zhe.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t been advised by doctors before to have He Ling see a psychologist.

But those doctors suggested it because they thought He Ling was willful and needed more discipline.

Only Jiang Zhe, almost from the moment she saw He Ling, had determined he needed to see a psychologist and directly forced him to meet Lei Xiu.

Was it because she noticed something, or because she saw through He Ling’s issues at first glance?

He Zizhou watched Jiang Zhe, lost in thought, and his gaze inevitably kept falling on Jiang Zhe’s face.

It wasn’t until he felt Qin Jingchen’s gaze on him that He Zizhou realized he had been thinking for too long. He gave an apologetic smile and averted his gaze.

Finally, He Zizhou’s father asked in a heavy voice, "So what should I do now?"

For the sake of his son’s safety, he had ultimately compromised. After a lengthy silence, he made his decision.

"Let him do what he wants to do," Lei Xiu said.

He Zizhou’s father’s grip tightened, veins standing out on his hands.

Mrs. He and He Zizhou both looked at him.

"It’s up to you," He Zizhou’s father said, standing up. "You all go ahead and eat; I’ve got some things to attend to."

After he said this, he turned and left.

Mrs. He gave an apologetic smile to everyone and followed after him.

"Husband!" Mrs. He caught up to walk alongside him.

In that short time, He Zizhou’s father had reflected on many things.

He sighed, "Was I really wrong?"

"Your love for him wasn’t wrong, maybe we just lacked some methods. But we have Jiang Zhe and the others now, don’t we?" Mrs. He subconsciously put Jiang Zhe’s name first.

Even though Lei Xiu was the one treating He Ling and had raised the issues tonight.

But somehow, she always felt that Jiang Zhe was the one calling the shots, or at least, with everyone sitting there having dinner, they all seemed accustomed to looking to Jiang Zhe for cues.

When He Zizhou’s father thought back, he realized this as well.

Remembering that it was indeed Jiang Zhe who first raised the issues, he said with a slight sternness, "Let’s have He Ling visit Dr. Lei more often."

After the couple left, He Zizhou apologized to everyone, saying, "Sorry, my parents were a bit anxious."

"It’s fine. Let’s eat," Jiang Zhe picked up his chopsticks again.

Lei Xiu glanced at Jiang Zhe, seeing that she indeed had no intention of expressing any opinions on the case, so he didn’t insist.

Anyway, He Ling’s situation wasn’t complicated at all. As long as He Zizhou’s father agreed to let He Ling continue treatment, he should recover quickly.

After the meal, Qin Jingchen went to settle the bill, only to find that He’s father had already paid before leaving.

Although He’s father was impatient, he also worried about his son. He didn’t overlook this detail; he was quite considerate.

He Zizhou ran over, "Jingchen, it should have been my responsibility."

"Your dad already took care of it." Qin Jingchen put away his phone.

"Oh, that’s good." He Zizhou, sincerely grateful, said, "I really want to thank your wife. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know about He Ling’s situation. Speaking of which, how did you figure it out?"

"Intuition," Jiang Zhe replied with obvious evasiveness.

Seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it, He Zizhou didn’t press her and instead laughed, "Your intuition is really something else. No wonder everyone says a woman’s sixth sense is amazing."

After He Zizhou and La Xiu left, Qin Jingchen turned to look at Jiang Zhe, "Was it really just intuition?"

"Don’t you believe it?" Jiang Zhe asked.

Qin Jingchen chuckled, not pursuing the question further.

However, he noticed that she and La Xiu must have known each other from before, not just from the recent incident involving Xiao Meng and Fen Ye’s introduction.

So, Jiang Zhe understands psychology too?

This thought slightly surprised Qin Jingchen.

His eyebrows took on a subtle shade of darkness.

...

With La Xiu taking care of He Ling’s matter, Jiang Zhe didn’t ask any further questions.

Xia Enci was preparing to attend a summer camp, so Jiang Zhe and Xiao Meng accompanied her to buy some items.

"I’ve heard that at this summer camp, only half of the participants will qualify for the bonus points for college admission," Xiao Meng said. "If you make sure you’re in the top half, you’ve got it made."

"I’m not so sure about that," Enci replied. "I’ve heard that getting points in the camp is even harder than in regular exams. There are tests in languages, math, foreign language, history, geography, biology, plus physical education and emergency response classes. Scoring top marks in a comprehensive way is no simple task."

Xiao Meng said with a laugh, "Well, it’s true, those bonus points aren’t just handed out to anyone. Otherwise, college admissions would be a complete mess."

"Anyway, I’ll just treat it as a camping trip, right, Xiaozhe?"

"Then let’s get some camping gear," Jiang Zhe suggested, pointing at a nearby camping supply store, "a camping mat, tent, night light, how about it? Shall we get them all?"

"Sure!" Xia Enci immediately chose with enthusiasm.

Even if she didn’t qualify in the end, a few days of happy camping would still make the experience worthwhile.

After really making some purchases, Xia Enci, carrying a huge box by herself, walked ahead with ease.

As she walked, someone stuffed something into her arms, "Girl stuff should be given to girls, not me. Why give it to me?"

Carrying several items, Enci nearly toppled over when they were abruptly handed to her.

After stuffing it, the person huffily walked ahead.

"He Ling!" He Zizhou followed him.

Only then did Xia Enci see clearly that she was now holding a BJD doll dressed in a trendy JK skirt, quite exquisite and cute.

He Zizhou, catching sight of Jiang Zhe and the others, was very apologetic, "I’m sorry, sister-in-law, for causing you trouble again."

Jiang Zhe’s look was slightly cold as she reached out and grabbed the collar of He Ling, who hadn’t gone far.
