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

Chapter 389 The Deeper Reasons
You need to get a consultation.

This reason is perfectly valid.

For Xia Yuefeng, it was just like when he told his family, "I have a case."

When those words are spoken, no amount of reason can stop this man from fulfilling his duty.

Looking at the look in Nan Zhuren's eyes when he said those words, Xia Yuefeng felt a strange resonance.

He even felt a little guilty.

The young man in front of me is going to do consultations tomorrow, so shouldn't he be doing some of his regular work today, like collecting data?
As a result, he was dragged into helping—even though it was a good thing—but it ultimately added an unplanned burden to him.

Xia Yuefeng subconsciously pointed to the notebook and pen on the table: "If you can't finish these things this afternoon, you can take them back and work on them at your own pace..."

"It should be finished this afternoon," Nan Zhuren insisted.

Xia Yuefeng and Nan Zhuren looked at each other and inexplicably found themselves in agreement.

He knew that unless he fainted or suddenly died, nothing could stop this man from working.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. Take your time. Just call Lao Sun if you need anything."

Xia Yuefeng turned to leave, when he heard another "thump" behind him.

Turning around, I saw that the young man had fallen asleep again.

However, Xia Yuefeng now understands that this kind of sleep is Nan Zhuren's unique way of working.

He tiptoed out and closed the door.

"—Wait a minute, this is my office!!"

……

early morning.

Teacher Zhao quietly opened the door to her office.

Her movements were so gentle, as if there was a fragile porcelain piece behind the door that could be easily broken, and if she exerted even a little more force, the resulting gust of wind would knock it over.

"Click."

But her movements still caused a commotion.

Nan Zhuren, inside the room, looked up: "Teacher Zhao?"

"Morning."

Teacher Zhao smiled and asked, "Teacher Nan, are you preparing for a consultation?"

Nan Zhuren nodded.

Xu Pengcheng's consultation this morning also took place in the school's counseling room.

As mentioned before while at the hospital, Nan Zhuren was more seriously injured than Xu Pengcheng in the fall.

As a result, Nan Zhuren was discharged from the hospital that same day and stayed at the school for several more days.

In theory, Xu Pengcheng should have returned to school long ago.

However, due to the special nature of his student status and other considerations, Xu Pengcheng was arranged to stay in the hospital for two more days for observation.

After being discharged from the hospital, the school gave Xu Pengcheng a few extra days off.

He wasn't allowed to come back until today.

Therefore, Nan Zhuren scheduled his consultation with Xu Pengcheng for today.

"Then I'll get ready too," said Teacher Zhao, glancing at her phone.

Nan Zhuren sat upright on the single sofa in the consultation room, reviewing the consultation plan she had devised for Xu Pengcheng.

The time quickly arrived at the pre-arranged meeting with Xu Pengcheng.

dong dong dong-

"Go in," Nan Zhuren called out loudly.

At the same time, I was happy that this time, no one failed to come for consultation.

Xu Pengcheng is now part of a "psychological intervention project" commissioned by the National Health Commission, rather than a case where he spontaneously came to Nan Zhuren for help.

The situation is similar to that of Li Mingchen.

Students in this situation often feel resistant to seeking counseling from Nan Zhuren.

It's not impossible that they won't come.

Fortunately, this did not happen this time.

Nan Zhuren's lips curled up slightly.

However, the next second, upon seeing Xu Pengcheng walk in, Nan Zhuren's smile suddenly vanished.

……

[The body is stiff.] [The shoulders rise and fall with each breath, not using natural abdominal breathing.]

Her cheeks were very red.

Nan Zhuren put on a friendly smile again.

"Please take a seat."

Xu Pengcheng did as instructed.

Place your hands on your knees.

[His gaze wandered, avoiding eye contact.]

[Very tense.]

I was even more nervous than last time.

Xu Pengcheng's reaction was somewhat different from what Nan Zhuren had initially expected.

In Nan Zhuren's original plan, with Wang Rui gone and the students having a new training environment, Xu Pengcheng should theoretically be more relaxed than last time.

[No, I was being a bit presumptuous... Everyone else should be more relaxed, but Xu Pengcheng is different.]

He wasn't involved in the matter and didn't know the details, so his reaction was different from others.

At the same time, Nan Zhuren had another suspicion in his mind.

That means Xu Pengcheng may have a deeper problem lurking in his heart that he hasn't yet uncovered.

And this deep-seated thorn, after the changes of the past few days, has actually become even more deeply embedded.

Nan Zhuren's mind was racing.

Using the information gathered in those few seconds, I adjusted my consultation plan.

While Nan Zhuren was thinking so much, only two or three breaths had passed in reality.

"Hello teacher."

Upon hearing Xu Pengcheng's greeting, Nan Zhuren subconsciously replied, "Hello, Pengcheng, we meet again."

The counselor instinctively began to organize the conversation: "It's been more than a week since we last met, and a lot has happened in that time."

Xu Pengcheng looked up and met Nan Zhuren's gaze: "I haven't thanked you yet, teacher. When I fell down the building that day, I really don't know what would have happened if you hadn't caught me... My parents have been wanting to meet you and invite you to dinner ever since they found out..."

"It's okay, I'm glad you're alright."

Nan Zhuren smiled and waved his hand, not lingering on the topic, but quickly bringing it back to the main point.

"You just got back to school, right? A lot has happened at school lately, have you looked into it?"

Nan Zhuren's first step is to find out the reason for Xu Pengcheng's current changes.

Xu Pengcheng nodded slowly.

Nan Zhuren's question is an open-ended question.

Faced with such an open-ended question, visitors have countless directions for answering.

The conversation before him and the visitor before him did not suggest any intention to mislead Nan Zhuren.

Therefore, what Xu Pengcheng says next is usually what he has been most concerned about during this period.

At the same time, this is also very likely the reason for Xu Pengcheng's current changes.

Sure enough, after hearing Nan Zhuren's question...

Xu Pengcheng lowered his head: "I know, Coach Wang seems to have... had an accident. Everyone will have to change coaches from now on."

[Pull down your eyebrows.]

[Gritting my teeth.]

Their hands were clasped together.

Is this feeling... guilt?

Does Xu Pengcheng feel guilty because Wang Rui left?
Nan Zhuren narrowed his eyes.

He repeated Xu Pengcheng's words.

"You know Wang Rui... Teacher, something happened to her."

Xu Pengcheng nodded.

"At the same time, we also know that everyone will have to change coaches because of this."

Xu Pengcheng nodded again.

Nan Zhuren broke down Xu Pengcheng's sentence into two sentences.

Therefore, we know that Xu Pengcheng's "guilt" refers to the second half of the sentence.
