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

Chapter 507 Are you setting up a nest here?
If Nan Zhuren remembers correctly, during the case sharing session, a few scattered areas in the audience let out low laughter at inappropriate times.

One of the areas is where this round-faced boy sits.

At this moment, Nan Zhuren looked at the other person's expression again.

Students who have questions will typically fix their gaze on the person answering, and their eyes will naturally follow the person's movements; their eyebrows may briefly rise in excitement at having a question asked, or furrow briefly in confusion as if they are tormented by the question; their bodies may also lean forward to varying degrees in order to close the distance between them.

And the boy who asked the question right now—

[The body leans slightly back, arms crossed... with a hint of defensiveness; but the shoulders are relaxed, not very tense.]

[During the description just now, there was a prolonged period of exaggerated eyebrow raising, and the cheeks were tense, but occasionally one corner of the mouth would turn up...]

[Avoiding eye contact and making eye contact with me...]

I never expected that something so...interesting would happen as the last lecture was about to end.

The others in the audience were still unaware of what was going on, but Nan Zhuren had already unconsciously adjusted his state of mind.

The student in front of me may not be someone who has "questions that need to be answered" in the usual sense.

But his appearance—is not a bad thing.

Perhaps with this student's "help," Nan Zhuren can elevate today's lecture theme and make the lecture more effective than the previous ones.

Nan Zhuren thought for a moment and then took the initiative to guide the conversation: "You said you have two questions, what are they..."

However, before Nan Zhuren could finish speaking, the round-faced boy interrupted him impatiently: "The first question is about the case you just mentioned, teacher."

Like a debater who has a prepared speech in mind and is ready to deliver it.

Nan Zhuren stopped talking and didn't say anything more, but just gestured to the boy that he could continue.

The round-faced boy smiled and said, "That's right, teacher. Your case is really shocking. The criminals' methods are very novel, and the victim's final fate is also very distressing."

His communication skills seemed to be quite basic; even when asking questions, he would first flatter them, showing a kind of maturity that seemed awkward and incongruous with his age.

"But the case you shared seems a bit too niche, right? Most scammers probably wouldn't use your method, would they? After hearing your case, I feel like I wouldn't use it in my daily life."

Nan Zhuren nodded: "I really hope you won't need it. That would be wonderful."

A burst of laughter erupted from the students.

The round-faced boy's rhythm seemed to be suddenly interrupted by Nan Zhuren. He choked for a moment, as if he had finally reorganized his words: "What I mean is - it's like the case of that swindler I encountered back then, who I completely fooled."

The round-faced boy's words had an unusual emphasis on a certain part.

He continued, "So I'd like to ask the teacher if there are any other more common examples, like the kind of scammers we're more likely to encounter, so we can learn more from them."

After saying that, the round-faced boy's gaze darted around for a moment, seemingly scanning the reactions of the other students. ...

Nan Zhuren raised an eyebrow. From the student's speaking rhythm after he interrupted him, he confirmed what he had just seen through [micro-expression analysis].

Summer frowned. Was this student instructing Teacher Nan on how to do things?

Judge Chen blinked. The public's case... Wasn't he just talking about it during his lecture? Did this student not get enough of it or did he not listen at all?
We've reached the final stage of the presentation, and introducing those so-called "common" cases would take up a lot of time.

Nan Zhuren wouldn't continue answering along with the round-faced boy's line of thought.

He looked intrigued and asked, "Okay, what's your second question?"

The round-faced student was slightly taken aback by Nan Zhuren's decision not to answer the first question but to directly ask the second.

"Uh..." He uttered a string of meaningless syllables, as if his thoughts had stalled.

Or perhaps it's because Nan Zhuren's behavior didn't conform to his "plan".

"The second question is, I'd like the teacher to explain the reason why that lady committed suicide."

She spoke haltingly, so much so that Nan Zhuren had to guide her, trying to guess: "You want me to analyze her thoughts in her final moments? You can't understand her final psychological state?"

This guess, like an arrow hitting the bullseye, immediately pierced through the round-faced boy's words: "Yes, it was during your speech just now that I tried to empathize with you, and I think if the same thing happened to me, I definitely wouldn't do it that way."

"After all, I think we all understand what you mean by 'I am a victim,' so I wonder if there is some psychological principle behind it."

After saying this, the round-faced boy lowered his arms and placed them on the table, while glancing around at the students as if observing their reactions.

Nan Zhuren nodded: "You find it hard to understand thoughts under such extreme emotions? Let me ask you first, have you ever been in such a state yourself?"

This rhetorical question hit the nail on the head, immediately opening up the round-faced boy's floodgates of conversation.

"Yes, teacher, I think I've always had good emotional management skills, and my mood is usually quite stable. I've always been able to think about the things I face very well, so I don't really understand the final choices people make in many cases."

The round-faced boy smiled, his round cheeks puffing up.
"It just so happens that you, a psychology expert, are here today. I've always had some questions about psychology, and I also have some of my own conjectures and... well, you could call it research. I just wanted to ask you for advice."

In the audience, Xia Tian and the school teachers frowned, while the court staff chuckled.

Nan Zhuren smiled, his voice surprisingly softening: "Since you have your own conjectures and research, let's not call this 'asking for advice,' let's call it 'discussion.' Tell me your thoughts?"

The round-faced boy's smile widened. He glanced around at his classmates again and said loudly, "I think many psychological problems these days are actually caused by underlying issues. I think many psychological problems are preventable; for example, I've never had any psychological problems."

　Judging from the recent second update, you can tell that the author's work and rest schedule is not very regular. He is currently suffering from a headache and his thoughts are blocked.

　　I'll try to get the second update out tonight; if not, it might have to wait until tomorrow.
