Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 313: Chapter 311: That Familiar Look

Li’s mother’s words were like a fist.

They were forcibly stuffed into Li Mingchen’s mouth, hammered into his throat, and finally pressed into his chest cavity.

Not only did they block the words he wanted to say next, but they also scattered some other things.

"Mom... I understand." Li Mingchen lowered his head. The tall guy of over 1.8 meters was curled up like a real child at the moment, "I’ll go to school tomorrow."

Li’s mother patted her chest, sighing in relief: "You child, scared the life out of your mom, starting to talk such nonsense."

"Is there something at school? Did the teacher bully you? Did the coach bully you? Tell mom whatever it is, mom will get justice for you!"

"No..."

Li Mingchen just kept his head down.

After asking a few more questions and not getting any other answers, Li’s mother could only turn around, full of blame.

"I’ll heat up the food and put it back, eat more when you’re hungry."

At that, Li’s mother started to nag again: "Director Chang has found you some psychological teacher to help solve your eating problem. What psychological consultation, it’s all superstitious nonsense, how is eating a psychological problem... It’s just delaying people!"

"The consultation is still with that Mr. Nan who wrote the report for you. Although he’s really nice... But this just doesn’t sound right, he gives us a diagnosis, then he deals with our psychological problem, and he takes money from the school..."

"Why not just give the money directly to us..."

The cold food was taken out, reheated, and put back in.

Mom seemed to firmly believe that once her son got hungry and figured things out, he would naturally eat.

The bedroom was small, and ventilation through a single window was limited, so the aroma of the food quickly filled the entire room.

"Gululu——"

Li Mingchen looked at his stomach, rumbling from the tempting aroma, and felt his chest churn, nearly vomiting.

But his stomach was completely empty.

After a few dry heaves, he suddenly grabbed his plaster and bandage-wrapped left hand and punched it hard into his stomach!

"Bang!"

Li Mingchen’s facial features instantly scrunched up like crumpled paper.

When his face contorted to the extreme, it seemed as if something was released.

Accompanied by slightly wet eyes, his brow finally relaxed.

-----------------

Jiangdu First Middle School.

Psychological Consultation Room.

With the help of Chonghui and Teacher Xiao Zhao, the originally designated lab for Nan Zhubin to collect student expression data underwent some modifications.

The room was originally a consultation room, but to quickly complete data collection, the initial plan was not to accept consultations during this period.

Therefore, items such as coffee tables, tissues, and green plants meant to facilitate consultation were all moved to the utility room.

But now, the room where Nan Zhubin was located needed to serve both as a laboratory and a consultation room, so some of these items had to be moved back to allow the room to be "dual-use."

"Teacher Xiao Zhao, I’m really sorry for troubling you this time." Nan Zhubin apologized, "Since Li Mingchen will be coming back to class soon, and his mobility is limited, arranging consultations at school is the best option."

Nan Zhubin sincerely expressed his apology: "I feel bad for making you run back and forth."

Teacher Xiao Zhao didn’t seem troubled at all.

Looking at her expression, she seemed to somewhat enjoy it.

"It’s okay~ Mr. Nan, you’re doing it for the kid after all." Teacher Xiao Zhao fluttered her eyes, lined with exquisite eye makeup, "This is my responsibility; it should be me troubling you!"

People are just being polite... Or maybe not, but Nan Zhubin certainly couldn’t take it lightly.

"If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know." Nan Zhubin smiled firmly.

Teacher Xiao Zhao floated out on her feet.

"Bang."

Beside, Chonghui made a loud noise.

Carrying things, this brother full of muscles was the main force.

At this moment, he was straightening his back, bending his legs, and slightly sitting his hips back, gently placing the heavy coffee table down in a standard deadlift posture.

"Brother." Nan Zhubin’s apology this time was also heartfelt, "Sorry to trouble you, running around with me like this."

"Plus, when I’m doing consultations later, it’ll slow down our project’s progress once again..."

Chonghui didn’t say anything, just lightly adjusted his breathing with his head lowered.

Just when Nan Zhubin thought he was upset, Chonghui suddenly turned around slowly with a thoughtful posture.

He looked at Nan Zhubin and asked, "Did you use Micro-expression Analysis to detect Li Mingchen’s problems?"

Nan Zhubin nodded, "Yes."

"Later with that Xu Pengcheng, did you also use Micro-expression Analysis to sense something wrong with him?"

"That’s right."

"And are Li Mingchen and Xu Pengcheng’s problems similar?"

Nan Zhubin blinked, "... What’s up?"

In the next second, Chonghui suddenly lifted his head.

Nan Zhubin saw a beam of light in the other’s eyes like the dawn.

At this moment, Nan Zhubin felt that Chonghui’s gaze at him was no longer like a senior looking at a junior, but it became similar to Teacher Xiao Zhao!

"You say..." Chonghui’s breath grew heavy, "Could their problems be written into a paper?"

Ah?

Nan Zhubin’s breath caught; he thought for a moment and said: "Actually, Li Mingchen and Xu Pengcheng’s problems do have some differences. I suspect their underlying causes are different..."

"Then—" Chonghui turned even more excited, his eyes beginning to shine similar to Lu Jia, "Couldn’t we write two papers?!"

... Seriously, are all Ph.D. students this outrageous?

Just as Nan Zhubin began to question if his decision to pursue graduate studies in the North was correct.

Chonghui quickly adjusted his expression with professional skill. His eyes remained enthusiastic but slightly restrained and now looked more like Xia Tian.

"You just focus on doing the consultations, remember to keep the intervention reports and other data, no need to worry about the project." Chonghui said.

"You’re still preparing for graduate exams, right? If you don’t have time to write papers... Worst case, give me the stuff, and I’ll write it for you; just a joint-authorship is fine!"

After saying this, Chonghui left without looking back, because Teacher Xiao Zhao had already knocked and started asking if they could bring students over to continue data collection.

A student quickly entered the room next to Nan Zhubin.

After waiting a moment, Nan Zhubin asked, "Teacher Xiao Zhao... won’t there be any students coming over to me?"

Only to see Teacher Xiao Zhao biting her lip, showing a troubled expression.

"Mr. Nan... didn’t you just say, if there’s anything else to help with, I could trouble you?"

Nan Zhubin blinked. He had said it, not five minutes earlier.

But isn’t this kind of returning a favor right after hearing courteous words usually something the protagonist of a web novel does?

However, Nan Zhubin wasn’t being polite; he genuinely wanted to return the favor: "Is there something I can help you with now?"

Teacher Xiao Zhao took a deep breath: "Mr. Nan... could you give me a consultation?"
