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

Chapter 82 Nan ​​Zhuren's Teacher
Chen Ting couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Of course I know, Professor Nan. You're not worried that I'll change my major, are you? I must be crazy to switch from law to psychology at Jiang University. The two majors have a difference of several tens of points in the college entrance examination score!"

"At most, I'll take a psychology course or study forensic psychology."

Nan Zhuren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, I thought I had led you astray. Outsiders watch some short videos about psychological counseling and lie detection and then go on to study psychology, and quite a few high school students are even misled into enrolling in psychology as a major. But once you get here, you'll find that counseling psychology is just an elective; the required courses are psychological statistics, psychometrics, and experimental psychology, all of which are related to data analysis, modeling, and even programming..."

Seeing Nan Zhuren's bitter expression, Chen Ting smiled even more happily.

"Teacher Nan, why are you starting to complain to me? Are you not going to ask me to give you a consultation next?"

She looked up at the wall clock: "Speaking of which, our consultation time is almost up, isn't it?"

Nan Zhuren nodded: "Yes. Although I would treat every consultation as if it were the last, this really is the last time."

Chen Ting had been leaning against the windowsill for a while, with sunlight dappling her hair.

She had long since detached herself from the role of a visitor.

After hearing Nan Zhuren's affirmative answer, she patted her dress, opened her shoulders, straightened her back, and smiled.

For no apparent reason, Nan Zhuren suddenly appeared in the same way Chen Ting had first appeared not long ago.

The illusory figure slowly overlapped with Chen Ting before their eyes. They had the same appearance, but their temperaments and states were completely different.

He heard the girl in front of him say nonchalantly, "I won't say 'goodbye,' because that doesn't seem like a good thing for a counselor and a client."

"So, let's say thank you as a farewell."

Nan Zhuren nodded.

He said, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

That's the last sentence.

When Nan Zhuren uttered those words, he had a premonition, and a change occurred within him.

……

Yan Nuo Psychological Counseling Center, Meeting Room.

Would you like another cup of tea?

Hearing Lu Jia's pleasant voice from the receptionist, Xia Tian looked up.

"Thank you, my friend should be out soon."

Summer responded.

Summer was spent with Chen Ting.

She witnessed the confrontation between the two counselors and Wang An in the classroom that day, and even contributed a lot to the recording and promotion of the video.

In addition, Xia Tian had previously participated in Chen Ting's intervention program, so after Nan Zhuren left, Xia Tian and Chen Ting quickly went from being "classmates" to "friends", and even developed into "best friends".

Like today, she accompanied Chen Ting to the consultation during her break, and even sat outside for an hour waiting for Chen Ting to come out, without feeling impatient.

Of course, it's hard to say whether her purpose was simply to accompany her best friend to the consultation.

However, Xia Tian feels that she has gained something unexpected.

"Is your name Lu Jia?" Xia Tian glanced at the receptionist's name tag. "It's a very nice name!"

"Thank you! Your name is Xia Tian, ​​right? I overheard you just now." Lu Jia responded, "It's a very nice name, just like you!"

Lu Jia looked at Xia Tian. The girl in front of her exuded the unique youthful vibe of a female college student. She was confident, lively, and full of sunshine and vitality in every smile and gesture.

Xia Tian also looked at Lu Jia. Although she was just a receptionist, Xia Tian could keenly observe Lu Jia's carefully coordinated clothes, expensive accessories, subtle and pleasant perfume, and even her demeanor—which, even while pouring water for herself, did not appear obsequious—all of which highlighted the innate, pampered air about Lu Jia. In an instant, both of them keenly sensed something.

Sparks began to fly when their eyes met.

Several consultants and assistants who had free time even stopped what they were doing—playing games, writing, or watching variety shows—and started craning their necks to see what was going on as they passed by.

Fortunately, there was a "click" sound soon after.

The door to the consultation room was opened.

Chen Ting stepped out.

"Sister Jia." Chen Ting greeted Lu Jia first, then turned to her best friend, "Tian Tian, ​​I'm all better."

The eye contact between Xia Tian and Lu Jia vanished instantly.

Xia Tian's gaze drifted behind Chen Ting, where she could see a tall figure closing the door to the consultation room.

Noticing Xia Tian's gaze, the figure stopped what it was doing and gave Xia Tian a "hello" smile.

Xia Tian then showed a satisfied expression, responded with her eyes, and took two steps forward to take Chen Ting's arm: "Let's go."

Lu Jia maintained impeccable manners: "Take care."

With their business done, the two little girls continued to enjoy their holiday.

They chose a dessert shop, sat by the roadside, and chatted quietly. Their youthful and beautiful appearance became a scenic view for passersby.

"How are you feeling right now?" Xia Tian observed her best friend's expression.

"The part in the consultation room is over," Chen Ting said with a sense of loss. "From now on, I'll have to rely on myself."

In the summer, I took a sip of milk tea, and the sweet taste blossomed on my taste buds.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

“Actually, if you’re reluctant to part ways, you don’t need to be so distressed,” Xia Tian comforted her. “Teacher Nan will still come to the school to guide our project later. During consultations, counselors should be careful not to develop a dual relationship with the client. But now that the consultations are over, you can still be friends.”

Chen Ting showed a hint of interest.

But after thinking it over carefully, he firmly shook his head: "I don't plan to do this project."

"you sure?"

Chen Ting nodded: "I still need to break free from my dependence on Teacher Nan."

In the summer, I picked out a spinach and tuna bagel, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then took a big bite.

He then sincerely praised Chen Ting: "It's not easy to make this decision. I couldn't do it. You're really amazing."

Chen Ting glanced at Xia Tian with amusement and shook her head.

"Speaking of which, I'll probably be going to the school's counseling center regularly from now on. But I'm thinking that instead of making an appointment with a counselor there, I might as well apply for a counseling assistant position at the center. That way, I should be able to get to know the counselors more—want you come with me?"

Summer paused, then said, "Go!"

In a great mood, Xia Tian thought for a moment and then said, "But speaking of the psychological counseling center, Tingting, you should know about it, right? Teacher Nan used to be a graduate student at our school."

"I know, what's wrong?"

"When I was working on a project a while ago, I did inquire about Professor Nan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ting leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow: "What have you found out?"

Xia Tian stuck out her tongue and licked the cream from the corner of her mouth: "For example, about Professor Nan's mentor..."
