Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!
Chapter 276 - 274: Case... Filed? Again?

Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Case... Filed? Again?

Doctor Chen lowered his head, looking at his open hands.

"When Xiao Jie was around, I felt all my efforts were for her; I lived and worked for her too."

"Although I often argued with Xiao Jie’s mom because of work, every time we stopped and started to communicate calmly, it was also because of Xiao Jie."

"During the time when Xiao Jie left, I felt like a part of me went away with her."

Then Doctor Chen lifted his head and looked at Nan Zhubin.

A gentle, grateful smile appeared on his face.

"That day when Mr. Nan pushed me to save Lin Lulin...the same place, the same way, though it was Lin Lulin, as I was saving him...it felt like I was given another chance to save Xiao Jie."

"When Lin Lulin was out of danger, I felt like a part of my body came back to life."

"And after chatting with you just now, the question always bothering me finally has an answer."

Doctor Chen placed a hand over his heart: "I feel a part of my spirit revived too."

...

To be honest.

Nan Zhubin was quite shaken for a moment.

To the extent that he couldn’t speak for a while.

So he just responded with a gentle, warm smile.

Fortunately, Weng Pinting was there as well.

His experienced senior sister quickly took over the conversation: "Does Doctor Chen have any plans for the future?"

Doctor Chen nodded.

"I have been thinking about future plans since I was in the car," Doctor Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, "Because of a few minor accidents, my title was removed, and returning to the operating room is unlikely. However..."

At this point, Doctor Chen seemed a bit embarrassed: "Ms. Weng, you should know, our hospital often trains some doctors for clinical psychological training and then assigns them to the psychology department."

Weng Pinting nodded, guessing Doctor Chen’s intentions.

"I plan to apply for a transfer to the psychology department, using my issue...as a case, a warning," Doctor Chen laughed freely, "to prevent other children from experiencing what Xiao Jie did."

His smile was unexpectedly infectious at that moment, even Weng Pinting couldn’t help but genuinely smile.

"Of course, just having such an intention isn’t enough; I must improve my skills as quickly as possible," Doctor Chen spoke humbly.

He added: "For this, perhaps I’ll need Ms. Weng to recommend some reliable psychological consultation skill training for me. Besides diagnosis and prescribing, I hope to offer more help to those who come to see me."

Weng Pinting naturally accepted this willingly: "Of course."

She took over the conversation, beginning to chat with Doctor Chen.

But she couldn’t help but notice Nan Zhubin, who, despite being the center of the topic, was unusually quiet.

Doctor Chen followed Weng Pinting’s gaze and noticed Nan Zhubin seemed a bit zoned out.

"Mr. Nan?"

"Ah?" The young consultant appeared startled.

...

Nan Zhubin was visibly distracted.

But not because of the change Doctor Chen brought him.

Although he hadn’t returned to the Dream Psychological Consultation Room for confirmation yet.

Nan Zhubin was certain that Doctor Chen, as a "case," had been "archived," bringing him the benefit of another Psychological Skill Deepening.

This really was an accidental gain.

Nan Zhubin felt joyful.

But beyond joy...he also had many inexplicable emotions.

His body too experienced many awkward sensations.

For him, these feelings were unfamiliar, and he didn’t know how to describe them.

"Mr. Nan must be too tired," Doctor Chen proactively explained for Nan Zhubin.

This father who had just been reborn seemed to have many things to say but hesitated.

But perhaps Nan Zhubin was genuinely tired.

Thinking carefully, Nan Zhubin had constantly been busy with Chen Jie’s matters, followed by Li Minglu’s case, and immediately after, the company upheaval and relocation.

Indeed, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for over half a month.

Seeing this, Doctor Chen naturally didn’t want to disturb any further, so he got up ready to leave.

Weng Pinting and Nan Zhubin escorted Doctor Chen to the door together.

"Ah——"

The wind from the villa district blew over, carrying a faint scent of grass.

[It feels nice.]

[The wind feels nice...]

[The sun is warm too...]

Nan Zhubin seemed to let his thoughts wander inexplicably.

"Mr. Nan."

Suddenly, Doctor Chen stopped in his tracks.

He turned around.

...

If earlier Doctor Chen’s expression while sharing his spiritual transformation with Nan Zhubin was joyful and relaxed.

Then now, he had replaced it with a solemn face.

"Doctor Chen?"

Nan Zhubin looked at him confusedly.

He watched as Doctor Chen took a deep breath.

Watched as Doctor Chen stepped back from him.

Then, he watched as Doctor Chen bowed to him.

Before Nan Zhubin could lift his hand to assist, Doctor Chen quickly stepped back again.

Maintaining his solemn expression: "Thank you, Mr. Nan."

"Ah...you’ve already said that."

"No, Mr. Nan," Doctor Chen shook his head firmly.

The words he spoke next truly surprised Nan Zhubin.

"Just now, my thanks were for myself."

"And now, my thanks are for Xiao Jie."

Doctor Chen kept his solemn face.

"I’ve mentioned before, after what happened with Xiao Jie, there was a period when I was inquiring about you; later, I went to your workplace because of Lin Lulin, and said things like ’stop being a consultant...’"

"Recently, I’ve heard numerous things about Mr. Nan—about what you did for another girl surnamed Chen, and what you did for the gentleman surnamed Li."

"Some people gossip, saying you’ve encountered some issues as well...that’s quite excessive."

"But here’s what I want to say—" Doctor Chen looked into Nan Zhubin’s eyes, "Mr. Nan, you’re a good consultant. This, just now, I deeply felt."

"My gratitude isn’t only for what you did for Xiao Jie recently but also for earlier—during her final time. You gave her consultation."

Doctor Chen weighed his words carefully, seemingly having thought over this speech for a long time.

"I’ve heard the saying—[depression] at its worst doesn’t involve suicidal thoughts, but rather, it’s when slightly improved that one might have such ideas."

"This exactly indicates that during Xiao Jie’s final period, you helped her, you made her feel supported, you made her feel happy."

Doctor Chen laughed freely: "Just like you comforted me just now, due to Lin Lulin’s medication intervention, Xiao Jie’s ending...was actually predetermined."

"So please don’t dwell on Xiao Jie’s final ending."

"On the contrary, I, as her father, am very grateful to Mr. Nan. Because in Xiao Jie’s final time, it was Mr. Nan who brought her that last bit of happiness."

"I’m even happy for her because, in her final journey, she met you, Mr. Nan."

Doctor Chen stepped back again and gave another bow.

"You’re a good consultant."

"So Mr. Nan, in the future, please continue to help more... ’Xiao Jies’!"

...

Listening to Doctor Chen’s words.

Nan Zhubin suddenly felt he could describe how he felt physically.

As if electrified, Nan Zhubin inexplicably felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

After the tingle, a sense of lightness followed.

As if something veiled over his senses was lifted, as if something binding him had been freed.

He felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Then, in a subtle sense, he realized something, he knew he underwent a transformation.

It was the Dream Psychological Consultation Room experiencing a change once more.

He had just completed another case archive!

Gained another Psychological Skill Deepening once more!
