A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Qin Ge could see all the messages in the background of his phone.

Through Qian Leilei's connections, Xu Xingchen arranged to meet with Dr. Lin again.

He described his symptoms in detail, and Dr. Lin's expression grew increasingly serious.

He scribbled and drew on his medical record.

"Aside from these, are there any other issues?"

Xu Xingchen thought for a moment, "The medication is becoming less and less effective, and I often can't control myself."

Dr. Lin, "Have you tried other people? Are you currently certain that you can only accept his touch?"

"right."

Xu Xingchen was very certain.

Dr. Lin wrote the last sentence on the medical record: "Then the situation is a bit troublesome."

"Simply touching the affected area is no longer sufficient to address the progression of the disease."

These kinds of mental illnesses are very difficult to treat, and most of them require an emotional outlet; suppression will only lead to a more serious backlash.

Dr. Lin did not know Qin Ge, nor did she learn Qin Ge's specific name or information from Xu Xingchen.

According to Xu Xingchen's description, he and that "friend" grew up together, and their relationship went beyond that of ordinary friends.

He couldn't explain when he started liking him. After getting this disease, all his emotions were amplified, and he became increasingly unable to control his behavior.

The key issue now is that his friend, due to childhood family circumstances, is extremely averse to same-sex relationships.

His illness made him want to get close to him, kiss him, and possess him...

Judging from Xu Xingchen's description, this episode is not just a simple case of skin thirst.

It escalated into something even more serious...

Dr. Lin circled those two words and put a question mark on them.

Psychological skills are inherently complex and have not been fully understood yet, so anything is possible in the future.

However, this was the first time he had seen a case like Xu Xingchen's, and based on these circumstances alone, he couldn't make a diagnosis.

Dr. Lin capped his pen. "Your condition has worsened. I'll change your medication. Go to the pharmacy to pick it up in a bit."

"I'll say it again: it's better to guide than to block. If you really can't get closer to your friend, you can consider finding someone else."

"It's just for treating an illness, don't worry about it too much."

Dr. Lin, "I also have excellent candidates here. Don't worry, no third person will know about your condition. You can get to know them as friends first."

Dr. Lin genuinely wanted to help Xu Xingchen solve his illness.

Xu Xingchen was not only his patient, but also Qian Leilei's good friend, and he didn't want to see him suffer from his illness.

Many people think that mental illness is a minor issue and always advise them to think more positively.

Many of these are brain diseases that will manifest in the body, and they can't be solved simply by saying "I've come to terms with it."

Xu Xingchen refused without hesitation, "No need, thank you Dr. Lin."

He lowered his eyes. "Will my illness improve if I leave him?"

Dr. Lin, "It's hard to say; it might get better, or it might get worse."

Dr. Lin, "From your description, he doesn't seem like a regular friend to you. You could try to see what the maximum level of intimacy he's willing to have is."

In any case, judging from Xu Xingchen's description, his friend seems to be a completely straight man.

He had never seen such a straight man before.

Maybe they really are in love with each other.

Xu Xingchen's eyes flickered. "I understand."

Qin Ge did all those things for him and didn't seem to have any aversion to it. Maybe there's still a chance for things to turn around?

Xu Xingchen seemed to have suddenly found his courage, took the medicine from the pharmacy, and left.

He left his phone in the lab and used his spare change to take the bus back to school.

Lin Shu has been busy negotiating collaborations all this time and hasn't been in the lab. Only a few senior students are in the lab.

They were all busy with their own work and didn't notice when Xu Xingchen left and then reappeared.

At most, I'll raise my hand to say hello when I see him.

Xu Xingchen checked the time; Qin Ge should be arriving soon.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and Qin Ge had already arranged to take Xu Xingchen to the newly opened hot spring hotel.

Xu Xingchen also wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters again.

He didn't see the gift he prepared for Qin Ge when he went into the lab last time, but perhaps he can bring it this time.

Xu Xingchen felt a little hot in the ears when he thought of that gift; he didn't know what he was thinking at the time.

He probably knew that since he had been in the lab for so long and Qin Ge hadn't seen or contacted him for so long, he wouldn't just give up so easily. That's why he prepared a "gift" to give Qin Ge a couple more days of peace and quiet.

As a result, Qin Ge also gave him a big one.

He's such a grown man, I don't know what he's thinking.

Just as I was thinking of Qin Ge, he appeared outside the door.

He was carrying a huge pile of delicious food.

Upon seeing Xu Xingchen for the first time, he immediately flashed an extremely bright smile.

"Star."

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just finished too."

"I should have come earlier. I ran into a document that I needed to deal with urgently when I was about to leave, which made me a little late. I promise I will come to pick you up as soon as possible next time."

Xu Xingchen was a little embarrassed. "I'm not a kindergarten kid."

Qin Ge was speaking too loudly, and several senior brothers and sisters were there, glancing in their direction several times.

Qin Ge didn't care about any of that; he simply found an empty table and put down the things he had bought.

"I bought these on the way. Everyone should try them. I'll take the stars with me."

The senior students then rushed out in a swarm, laughing and joking, "Young Master Qin has spent money again."

They knew Qin Ge's temperament and didn't stand on ceremony with him.

They started picking through the bag.

"Take it with you, I'm returning it to you, so you won't keep thinking about it."

"But don't forget to send it back to us on Monday; Xingxing is a treasure in our lab."

Wishing you both a wonderful weekend in advance!

"It's all thanks to Mr. Qin's generosity. That pink-haired girl is no match for you. You and Xingxing are the perfect match."

In the lab, a senior student saw the ridiculously expensive snacks in the bag and couldn't resist eating them.

As soon as he spoke, everyone looked over, their expressions somewhat flustered.

When Xu Xingchen first came to the lab, they asked him about his relationship with Qin Ge. At the time, everyone suspected they were a couple.

Xu Xingchen denied it.

However, they were such a perfect match, they were practically radiating pink bubbles just standing there, and judging from what Qin Ge had done, anyone would think they were a couple.

However, it's one thing for them to ship the two as a couple in private, but since Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge aren't officially together, it's really a bit presumptuous for them to do this.

The senior student who said the wrong thing was distressed and wanted to apologize.

Qin Ge smiled and put his arm around Xu Xingchen's shoulder. "Yeah, you're right."

What can Qian Leilei, that pink-haired guy, use to compete with him?

After these two days, I'll send him back abroad.
