Chapter 219: Chapter 217 Lin Lulin Worries About Being Hit

Click—

The door to the consultation room opened.

Then the sound of leather shoes on the ground echoed, "tap tap."

This sound, which Liu Pan had heard countless times in the past, sounded like a celestial melody to his ears.

"Teacher." Liu Pan suddenly stood up, not daring to glance even once in Wang Sui’s direction.

"Zhuren?" Lin Lulin left Liu Pan aside; his eyes were drawn to Nan Zhubin, and he couldn’t help but softly exclaim.

After the Chen Jie incident led to Nan Zhubin’s expulsion from the school.

Although there had been quite a few overt and covert confrontations between Nan Zhubin and Lin Lulin.

This was only their second actual face-to-face encounter.

"What are you doing here?"

Clearly, Lin Lulin did not expect Nan Zhubin to show up at this time.

Thinking back to the last time he heard news about Nan Zhubin, it was described as him "hitting Liu Pan with a punch."

Lin Lulin’s expression tightened slightly; he stopped his footsteps, which were about to leave the consultation room.

Nan Zhubin leisurely stood up: "I came to see you, ’teacher’."

"The Li Minglu case has been transferred over here, but regarding his detailed situation, there are some issues I’ve yet to discuss with you, so I’m here to have a brief exchange."

Because there were visitors and family members present, Nan Zhubin was quite cautious with his wording.

At the same time, Nan Zhubin’s gaze turned towards behind Lin Lulin, seeing only Li Minglu’s back in the consultation room.

Not seeing his face, Nan Zhubin could only generally interpret Li Minglu’s state from his body language.

But it could be confirmed that Li Minglu was overall not as well as when he’d ended his consultation with Nan Zhubin last time.

Not even as well as when he first sought out Nan Zhubin.

Perhaps hearing Nan Zhubin’s voice at this moment, Li Minglu’s body abruptly moved as if awakened, turning around.

Nan Zhubin gave him a smile.

During this process, Lin Lulin also assessed Nan Zhubin.

Calm movements, calm expression, and calm tone. It was in stark contrast to Huang Xin and Liu Pan’s descriptions.

The psychology professor glanced at Wang Sui on the side, feeling enlightened.

"I see." Before the visitors and family, certain things indeed couldn’t be blatantly displayed. Lin Lulin agreed with this point.

"If that’s the case, let’s discuss in my office." Meanwhile, it was necessary to quickly remove Nan Zhubin from the scene.

Nan Zhubin nodded in agreement.

Lin Lulin smiled at Wang Sui: "There have been some changes regarding Xiao Li’s situation that I should discuss with you. But I’m sorry, you see, I have some matters now..."

He pointed at Nan Zhubin: "So please wait a moment."

"Xiao Liu, accompany Xiao Wang and have a good chat for a bit; I’ll be right back."

Liu Pan widened his eyes in disbelief, wanting to say something but hesitated.

But Lin Lulin didn’t spare him another glance, motioning for Nan Zhubin, then walked out of the consultation room together.

...

Along the way, Lin Lulin didn’t speak.

His steps were rushed.

There were few people on the sixth floor, and none of the rooms they passed had anyone present; Lin Lulin didn’t look sideways, his breathing somewhat hurried.

They didn’t even take the elevator, the sound of "tap tap" accompanying them all the way.

Until they arrived at the office of the research group, after Lin Lulin swiped open the office door.

Only then did the middle-aged professor finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Teacher... And Nan Zhubin?!" Huang Xin, who was sorting experimental data in the office, suddenly stood up, a tone of obvious surprise in his voice.

Lin Lulin’s demeanor regained some composure.

He unhurriedly walked behind his desk, sat down, then gestured to Nan Zhubin, who hadn’t moved at the door.

"Sit."

Nan Zhubin nodded.

Huang Xin’s gaze repeatedly swept between the two, full of suspicion.

Nan Zhubin looked around the desk without a chair opposite him, glancing around, and pulled a chair from his former workstation—now Liu Pan’s workstation.

The chair was dragged over with a creaking sound, finally set down in front of Lin Lulin, where he sat.

Neither spoke a word.

The two just looked at each other for a full minute, seemingly trying to read something from each other.

Finally, it was Huang Xin, as the third observer, who couldn’t hold back first, silently standing up, trying to inch his way out.

"Xiao Huang." Lin Lulin had to break the silence, and his voice stopped Huang Xin, who was trying to quietly leave.

"Contact the security room downstairs, tell them there might be an unexpected consultation incident here, and prepare to come up."

After saying this, Lin Lulin’s demeanor became completely composed.

But in a way, it seemed even more suspended.

"Tell me, Zhuren, what brings you to me this time?" Taking the lead in speaking meant that leading the conversation topic also fell to Lin Lulin, "Is it because of the Li Minglu issue, do you want to take him back, or..."

Lin Lulin’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Because of Chen Jie?"

Nan Zhubin pressed his lips, ignoring the latter half of Lin Lulin’s words.

He only said: "I don’t intend to pull back Li Minglu’s case—given the current situation, frequently changing consultants would only negatively affect him, not conducive to healing."

This seemed to show weakness, but secretly jabbed Lin Lulin.

After all, the current chaos was caused by Lin Lulin transferring Li Minglu back and forth multiple times.

But in Lin Lulin’s cognition, Nan Zhubin didn’t know the reason for Li Minglu’s departure from the Yan Nuo Psychological Center, didn’t know Liu Pan’s use of transference on Wang Sui to control Li Minglu.

So Lin Lulin contained his expression: "Then why are you here this time?"

Nan Zhubin took a deep breath: "As I said earlier, regarding Li Minglu’s situation, there is some information that I need to convey to you."

Then Nan Zhubin repeated to Huang Xin’s explanation, stating he had already established a solid counseling relationship with Li Minglu, becoming part of his social support system.

"The current situation could cause unforeseen harm to Li Minglu, I think it’s necessary for you to know this."

Nan Zhubin sincerely said: "Considering the visitor’s situation, I could console Li Minglu, enhancing his acceptance of ’returning to you for consultation.’"

Having expressed the purpose, next was to persuade the other.

After all, even Huang Xin found Nan Zhubin’s words hard to believe.

As expected, Lin Lulin showed a look of disbelief: "What?"

However, before he could say anything.

The smart lock at the door suddenly beeped again.

Liu Pan’s face appeared at the doorway.
