Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 278 Case Study...Archived? Once again?
Dr. Chen lowered his head and looked at his outstretched hands.

“When Xiaojie was born, I felt that all my efforts were for her. I lived and worked for her.”

"Although Xiaojie's mother and I often argue about work, the reason we stop arguing and start communicating calmly again is because of Xiaojie."

“During the time Xiaojie was gone, I felt like a part of myself went with her.”

Then Dr. Chen looked up at Nan Zhuren.

He gave a calm, relieved smile.

“That day, Teacher Nan, when you pushed me out to save Lin Lilin… in the same place, in the same way, although it was Lin Lilin, when I was saving him… I felt like I had been given a second chance to save Xiaojie.”

"When Lin Lilin was out of danger, I felt like a part of my body had come back to life."

"And after talking with you just now, the question that I've been struggling with has finally been answered."

Dr. Chen placed his hand on his chest: "I feel like part of my spirit has come back to life."

……

to be frank.

Nan Zhuren was somewhat shocked for a moment.

He was so speechless that he could hardly speak.

So he only gave a faint, gentle smile in response.

Fortunately, Weng Pingting was there.

The experienced senior female colleague quickly picked up the conversation: "What are Dr. Chen's plans for the future?"

Dr. Chen nodded.

"I was thinking about the future while I was in the car," Dr. Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Because of a few minor accidents before, I lost my professional title, and it's unlikely I'll be able to return to the operating room. But..."

At this point, Dr. Chen said somewhat embarrassedly, "Professor Weng, you should know that our hospital often trains some of our own doctors to receive clinical psychology training, and then sends them to work in the psychology department."

Weng Pingting nodded, guessing what Dr. Chen was planning.

“I plan to apply to transfer to the psychology department, to use my case as a case study, a warning,” Dr. Chen said with a carefree smile, “so that other children will not have Xiao Jie’s situation in the future.”

His smile was inexplicably infectious at that moment, and even Weng Pingting couldn't help but put away her professional expression and genuinely smile.

"Of course, having such a heart is not enough; I must improve my skills as quickly as possible," Dr. Chen said modestly.

He added, "I might need to trouble Professor Weng to recommend some reliable psychological counseling skills training. I hope that in addition to diagnosis and prescription, I can provide more help to the patients who come to me."

Weng Pingting readily accepted this: "Of course."

She took over the conversation and began to talk with Dr. Chen.

However, she couldn't help but notice Nan Zhuren, the junior brother who was the center of attention, who was unusually quiet at the moment.

Dr. Chen followed Weng Pingting's gaze and noticed that Nan Zhuren was somewhat distracted.

"Teacher Nan?"

"Huh?" The young counselor looked as if she had just realized something.

……

Nan Zhuren was visibly distracted.

But it wasn't because of the changes Dr. Chen brought to her.

Currently, there has been no confirmation from the [Dream Psychological Counseling Room].

However, Nan Zhuren is certain that Dr. Chen was archived as a case study, which brought him the benefit of "advanced study in psychological techniques".

This was truly an unexpected and fortunate outcome.

Nan Zhuren felt joy.

But besides joy... he also had many other inexplicable emotions.

My body also feels strangely uncomfortable.

These were very unfamiliar feelings to him, and he didn't know how to describe them.

"Teacher Nan must be too tired," Dr. Chen explained to Nan Zhuren.

This father, who had just been given a new lease on life, seemed to have a lot to say, but hesitated to speak.

But Nan Zhuren may really be tired.

Thinking back, Nan Zhuren had been busy with Chen Jie's affairs, then there was the Li Minglu case, and then the company's dramatic relocation.

He really hadn't had a good night's sleep in over half a month.

Seeing this, Dr. Chen felt embarrassed to bother him any longer, so he got up to take his leave.

Weng Pingting and Nan Zhuren escorted Dr. Chen to the door.

"call--"

A breeze blew through the villa area, carrying a faint scent of fresh grass. [It felt so good.]

The breeze feels so nice...

The sun is warm too...

Nan Zhuren's thoughts inexplicably began to wander.

"Teacher Nan."

Suddenly, Dr. Chen stopped in his tracks.

He turned around.

……

If Dr. Chen's account of her spiritual transformation to Nan Zhuren was one of relief and relaxation, then...

At this moment, he had put on a solemn face.

"Dr. Chen?"

Nan Zhuren looked at the other person with suspicion.

He looked at the other person and took a deep breath.

He watched as the other person took a step back, facing him.

Then, he watched as the other person bowed to him.

Before Nan Zhuren could raise his hand to help her up, Dr. Chen quickly took a step back.

He maintained his solemn expression: "Thank you, Teacher Nan."

"Ah...you already said that."

“No, Professor Nan.” Dr. Chen shook his head firmly.

What he said next really surprised Nan Zhuren.

"My gratitude just now was for myself."

"And the gratitude I'm expressing now is for Xiao Jie."

Dr. Chen maintained a solemn expression.

“As I mentioned before, after Xiao Jie’s incident, I was trying to find out about you for a while; later, because of Lin Lilin, I even went to your workplace and made a scene, telling you to ‘stop being a counselor’…”

“And recently, I’ve heard a lot about you, Professor Nan—about what you did to another girl surnamed Chen, and what you did to this Mr. Li.”

“Some people are even gossiping behind your back, saying that you also have some problems... This is going too far.”

“But what I want to say is—” Dr. Chen looked into Nan Zhuren’s eyes, “Teacher Nan, you are a good counselor. I just realized that myself.”

“I am grateful not only for what you have done for Xiaojie during this time, but also for the counseling you provided to her in the last period of her life.”

Dr. Chen carefully considered his words; it seemed he had been planning this for a long time.

"I've heard it said that people with depression don't have suicidal thoughts when they're at their worst; it's only after they've improved a little that suicidal thoughts start to arise."

"This precisely demonstrates that during Xiaojie's final period, you helped her, you made her feel supported, and you made her feel happy."

Dr. Chen laughed freely: "Just like you comforted me, because of Lin Lilin's drug intervention, Xiao Jie's fate... was actually predetermined."

"So please stop worrying about Xiao Jie's final fate."

"On the contrary, as a father, I am very grateful to you, Teacher Nan. Because in the last moments before Xiao Jie's final fate, it was Teacher Nan who brought her a final bit of happiness."

“I’m even happy for her because she was able to meet you, Teacher Nan, on the last stretch of her journey.”

Dr. Chen took a step back and bowed again.

"You are a good consultant."

"So, Teacher Nan, please go and help more... 'Xiao Jie's' in the future!"

……

Listen to what Dr. Chen said.

Nan Zhuren suddenly felt that he could describe the sensations in his body.

Like an electric shock, Nan Zhuren inexplicably felt a tingling sensation throughout his body.

After the tingling sensation, there is a feeling of lightness.

It was as if something that had been veiling my senses had been removed, and something that had been binding me had been freed.

He felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed something in his mind; he knew that something had changed about him.

That was another change at the [Dream Psychological Counseling Room].

He has completed another case filing!
I've once again received an advanced training in psychological techniques!
