Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 327: Chapter 325: Got Snatched by the Psychology Teacher During Evening Self-Study?

Although, influenced by Nan Zhubin’s guidance, Teacher Xiao Zhao is shifting her professional focus from "Psychological Consultation" to "Mental Health Education."

However, this transition is not yet complete.

At the moment, she became sensitive to Nan Zhubin’s comment about "all students of the team needing psychological counseling."

Everyone in the school already knows about Li Mingchen’s situation, and now other sports students from his team also need psychological counseling...

What exactly is happening in this high school where she works?

If someone else had told Teacher Xiao Zhao about this, she would certainly have hesitated.

But since it was Nan Zhubin who said it, Teacher Xiao Zhao had no doubts.

However, Teacher Xiao Zhao is now more concerned about another matter.

"Mr. Nan, psychological experiments consume lesser energy, so doing ten to twenty a day should be fine."

"But with psychological counseling, even if it’s only half an hour, its intensity is similar to consultation, isn’t it? Are you doing seven all at once this afternoon?"

"Wait, you’ve already done one... So are you doing eight altogether this afternoon? Over four hours of continuous psychological consultations?"

Teacher Xiao Zhao asked in disbelief, thinking she had asked a silly question, and laughed out loud at the end.

Nan Zhubin nodded as if it were quite normal: "Yes, is there a problem?"

"..."

...

[Monthly Goal: Complete "Psychological Consultation" for 10 hours within 1 month (9/10), followed by 1 "Psychological Ability Training" session.]

According to psychological research, human perception of time is influenced by the behavior density within a time unit.

In layman’s terms, "the more things are happening, the quicker time passes."

Nan Zhubin’s afternoon was particularly fulfilling, thus fleeting.

Meanwhile, Teacher Xiao Zhao agonized over it, even feeling a bit alarmed.

She painstakingly watched Nan Zhubin complete eight consultations,

thinking this afternoon seemed exceptionally long.

For Nan Zhubin, the good news was that his afternoon "conversations" counted towards consultation hours.

At least he wasn’t working for nothing.

His "peer supervision" with Teacher Xiao Zhao counted for an hour of consultation.

Later, the "conversations" with each student, perhaps due to the reassuring nature involved, though shorter, still counted as consultation hours.

This brought his total consultation hours to nine today.

Just... It’s kind of embarrassing, especially just with Lin Junkai; his mentality was somewhat shattered thanks to Nan Zhubin chatting him down.

Breaking someone down and then cheering them up inevitably feels kind of like a self-sustained hack... If not for Nan Zhubin’s high professional ethics, he might consider exploiting this to pad his hours.

It would be an additional nuisance in the psychological consultation world.

Teacher Xiao Zhao looked at Nan Zhubin’s state and thought his captivating face appeared a bit pale.

She asked with suspicion: "Mr. Nan, are you alright? Do you need a break?"

[Emotion Rebalancing]

Nan Zhubin blinked: "I’m fine."

With Teacher Xiao Zhao’s modest background in psychological studies, it’s difficult for her to understand Nan Zhubin’s current state and his remarks.

She blinked, somewhat at a loss, looking for Support from Chonghui beside her, seeming to want help in persuading Nan Zhubin to rest.

Chonghui’s expression was stern at first, observing Nan Zhubin seriously.

But soon, his gaze shifted, turning into a familiar enthusiasm.

Feeling there’s another publishable point there; is there still a surprise from my junior that I’m unaware of?

"Junior... are you really okay?" His tone seemed like a chanting.

Nan Zhubin waved his hand: "Let’s not talk about this now—Teacher Xiao Zhao."

The young consultant picked up a water bottle to moisten his throat; the only consumption in his afternoon consultations might have been a dry throat.

"I have an idea to encourage Li Mingchen to voluntarily participate in consultations. But I need your help with this idea..."

...

The situation with Li Mingchen is different from ordinary visitors.

Typically, without actively seeking consultation or help, consultants are not allowed to require visitors to come.

But these are "typical" circumstances.

Just like how confidentiality exceptions exist, Li Mingchen’s case is unique.

Firstly, in facing high-risk psychological diseases like [Severe Depression], for ensuring visitors’ safety, requiring the patient to attend regular counseling is justified.

Secondly, Li Mingchen’s current psychological consultation is school-funded intervention approved by the Health Commission, part of "compensation."

If Li Mingchen refuses counseling, once Nan Zhubin reports it, the Health Commission and school authority will intervene. Even if Li Mingchen only daydreams in the consulting room, he must meet the required consultation hours there.

Of course, Nan Zhubin, rather than enforcing measures, prefers skillful engagement to encourage Li Mingchen’s active cooperation.

Fortunately, Nan Zhubin is quite adept in this area.

Clunk, clunk—

High heels echoed crisply in the corridor, mingled with dull steps of leather shoes, sneakers.

With a "click," the door marked [Grade 12 (1) class] opened.

Among the forty-odd seated students, only the closest five to the door raised their heads due to the noise.

The rest moved almost robotically in unison, head down over desks, focused on exercises with pens.

Li Mingchen was the only (1) class student seated at the back, yet lifted his head due to the small, opened-door noise.

"... Teacher Zhao?"

The incoming person surprised every student who had lifted their head.

As Teacher Xiao Zhao entered the classroom, her footsteps involuntarily softened, transitioning from "clunk, clunk" to "tap, tap."

Facing the quiet atmosphere, besides the sound of flipping pages and pens, in the Grade 12 evening self-study classroom, even having worked at the school over a year, she felt slightly nervous.

Honestly, she’d never seen this sight before.

"Cough, cough, students!"

—Scrunch!

Almost like a conditioned reflex, all the students looked up like startled capybaras.

Everyone showed surprised expressions.

[I am a teacher, I am a teacher. Despite being a psychological teacher, I am still a teacher!]

Teacher Xiao Zhao encouraged herself mentally.

"Students, everyone pause your tasks."

Teacher Xiao Zhao took a deep breath: "We’ll take a moment of the evening self-study time to address an issue and conduct a brief lesson."

"We’re having a—psychology class!"
