Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 226: Chapter 224 A Day in the Life of Li Minglu

How was Li Minglu’s mood today?

Earlier today, he woke up from bed.

He knew he had to go see that former Professor Lin for psychological consultation today.

However.

Although that Professor Lin is more renowned, he felt Mr. Nan was better.

Because Mr. Nan understood him better.

And Xiaosui also knew she liked Mr. Nan more.

[But Xiaosui still made this decision...]

[She doesn’t understand me... she’ll never understand me.]

[Perhaps what Mr. Nan has analyzed, that home I long for, will never appear.]

[Now, even the only one who understood me, Mr. Nan, is gone...]

He got up and went to have breakfast.

He was sullen.

Then, he saw his son and daughter sitting cautiously at the dining table.

In his memory, he vaguely remembered them as not being like this at the breakfast table.

What were they like?

He couldn’t remember, but they shouldn’t be like this. Kids their age should be happy, with faces full of innocence and smiles.

[It’s all because of me. Because of me, they can’t be happy.]

[If I were gone, would they be better off?] This thought suddenly appeared.

Later, his son and daughter went off to school.

He sat in the studio, looking at the digital drawing pad reflecting a dull light.

[I have this illness, yet I still draw; and the paintings I create, Old Xue still accepts.]

[Isn’t he doing this to take care of me? Actually, the people at the editorial department don’t want them; it’s only because of Old Xue’s friendship that he still collects them.]

[He praises me and encourages me, it must be exhausting for him. Despite the pressure of his work, he still does this for me...]

[If I were gone, would Old Xue feel better?] This idea appeared a second time.

This time, Li Minglu really didn’t draw a single stroke all day.

His wife came in and, as usual, scolded him, then started bustling around cleaning up the mess, before driving him to Jiangdu University.

On the way, his wife was silent for a while, then nagged for a bit.

Li Minglu didn’t speak, just looked at his wife’s profile.

[She’s gained weight, her face looks more worried... but she used to be so beautiful, so happy, so full of life.]

[It’s all because of me, all to take care of the present me.]

His wife’s nagging kept drilling into his ears, solidifying Li Minglu’s thoughts.

[If I were gone, would Xiaosui be better off?] This thought appeared a third time.

He pondered, completely forgetting the passage of time and his surroundings.

He didn’t know when he appeared in Jiang University’s consultation room; nor did he know how much time had passed before the consultation ended.

[Without me, they would indeed be better off.]

Li Minglu reached this conclusion.

He suddenly heard a familiar voice outside, and when he turned around, it was Mr. Nan.

[Did Mr. Nan come all the way here for me?]

Soon, he saw Mr. Nan and Professor Lin pulling each other, then disappearing together.

[Their relationship seems to not be very good.]

[So, Mr. Nan came all the way to a place that would cause trouble for him just for me?]

[Even Mr. Nan is troubled because of me?]

[Do I still have any value to be helped by Mr. Nan?]

[Without me, wouldn’t even Mr. Nan be able to live better?]

He looked towards the window, his body moved faster than his mind.

He didn’t think of anything, just remembered that he seemed to need to go there, to do this thing.

When he came back to his senses, he was straddling the window, and Mr. Nan appeared again.

They chatted for a little while.

Li Minglu suddenly felt that it was nice to chat with Mr. Nan for a little longer.

But at this time, other voices came from around him.

"Quick...down..."

"Dan...ger..."

[What are they saying?]

"Young man, don’t jump, think it through!"

[Think it through... normal people can think it through, but I can’t... so I should die, shouldn’t I?]

"Yes, there’s no situation in life that can’t be overcome, right?"

[Normal people can overcome them, right? But I can’t, I’m particularly useless, so... I should die, shouldn’t I?]

"Think about your family, think about your parents! Are you married? Think about your wife and kids!"

[Xiaosui... the kids, maybe I should have died a long time ago, long ago gone to find mom and dad...]

Li Minglu felt he shouldn’t speak anymore.

Then, more people rushed in, they all talked to Li Minglu in a babble, and Li Minglu tried his best to listen, but only felt his head getting heavier, and heavier.

He saw his wife.

"Ugh... Hurry down Alu, don’t you want me, don’t you want your daughter and son?"

[I want to jump, it’s precisely because of you all that I want to disappear.]

"Is there something I’m not doing right? Tell me what’s wrong, I’ll change!"

[Are you going to wrong yourself because of me again? Don’t do this, without me it would be better, everyone would be better off...]

"Fine, you jump! If you jump, I..." The rest was inaudible.

Li Minglu steadied his mind.

[Fine, I’ll jump.]

All his thoughts seemed to be compressed and sunk together, leaving only one thought slowly rising to the surface, becoming the only one.

But it was at this moment, a voice suddenly broke through.

"Li Minglu!"

That voice was so domineering, as if an unfamiliar person stood in front of him, forcibly prying open the cloudy eyes of Li Minglu!

"Li! Ming! Lu!!"

The voice was so aggressive, like a heavy hammer landing on his body, the pain reddened Li Minglu’s eyes, instinctively wanting to retaliate!

"Li! Ming! Lu!"

The voice was so fierce, it was as if—

It was as if—

The current Li Minglu himself.

All the people present had their teeth clenched by these three shouts.

Yet, only Li Minglu suddenly howled like a mad dog, even turning his eyes upward.

"Ahhhh!"

He screamed with all his strength, gripping the hard window frame with all his might, as if to break it off entirely.

He seemed intent on releasing the anger that had accumulated within him for so long.

But he quickly exhausted himself, his body involuntarily collapsing.

Slowly, slowly, he softened.

He was about to fall out of the window.

Then, Mr. Nan rushed up and grabbed him.

...

"Mr. Nan?" Li Minglu’s eyes and mind seemed to be pierced through by something, suddenly becoming clear.

He felt the wind brushing smoothly across his body, the stinging pain of blood continuously seeping from his forehead, and the weightlessness of his body swaying uncontrollably in mid-air.

Nan Zhubin’s grip was tight, and therefore very painful.

Yet, the pain made Li Minglu feel a bit happy.

"Mr... Nan?"

Nan Zhubin didn’t respond to him, one person’s strength couldn’t support an entire adult male whose body was almost completely outside, he turned back and yelled: "Help!"

The next second, Huang Xin appeared before his eyes, one hand grabbing Li Minglu, the other grabbing Nan Zhubin.
