"I'm sorry," Dr. Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I really didn't expect that."
While others were having wars at home, she actually suggested she find outside help, which was a bit inappropriate.
Qin Yue curled her lips: "I thought you really had some profound theory; otherwise, how could you come up with such a surprising suggestion?"
"No, no, it was just a misunderstanding," Dr. Chen said with a bitter smile, "In that case, it definitely won't work."
Outside the door, Qin Xin let out a gentle sigh.
The psychologist she had high hopes for shattered at the slightest touch.
"In that case, I really can't help you with anything, so you should adjust your mindset," Dr. Chen said awkwardly, "It's not a big deal…"
"Alright, alright, I know you can't help," Qin Yue interrupted impatiently, "You've never even been in a relationship."
"...."
After saying goodbye, Dr. Chen packed up his medical kit and walked out. Qin Yue sat on the bed and picked up her phone.
Dr. Chen's words reminded her that if she wanted advice, she could consult a professional.
For example, a friend she met online.
She set up a VPN, logged into the forum, and just happened to see [00] online.
......
"Dr. Chen, the consultation is over," Qin Xin said blandly, "Have some tea."
She had actually brought tea to the door earlier, not only delivering it but also preparing to present it with both hands, saying, "Dr. Chen, enjoy this fragrant tea."
But unexpectedly, at the last moment, Dr. Chen backed down, and Qin Xin naturally lost her good mood.
"Actually, I didn't help much," Dr. Chen picked up the tea himself, "I feel undeserving."
Indeed, you should feel undeserving. Why weren't you being more decisive earlier? Aren't you a psychologist?
Qin Xin thought to herself, if only Dr. Chen had been more assertive, showing off the skills of a super psychologist. Not to say she should have hypnotized her on the spot, but at least he could have given her sister a psychological suggestion, planting a seed of "finding outside help."
If all went well, they might even be able to connect over the weekend.
"Alas, not only did I not have any effect," Dr. Chen lamented, "But I also said something nonsensical."
Qin Xin picked up her phone to check the time: "It's almost noon, Dr. Chen. Why not stay for a meal?"
"What? It's almost noon?" Dr. Chen's face changed dramatically, and he quickly put down his teacup and picked up his medical kit, "I have something to do, I need to leave."
Watching Dr. Chen's back as he left, Qin Xin tugged at the corner of her mouth, letting out a sound that no one else could hear.
Tch.
Because Dr. Chen backed down at the last moment, she had to continue pretending to be a straight girl for a while longer.
At that moment, footsteps came from the corridor outside, and Bai Ningning walked into the room with a light step.
"Good afternoon, Qin Xin, I'm back," she peeked inside, "Where's Yueyue? Is she still sleeping?"
"Yeah," Qin Xin said flatly, "She's quite hurt by you."
"Qin Xin, you've misunderstood me," Bai Ningning said seriously, "I didn't use much strength."
I just put in a few Qs and made a few cuts; how could I hurt someone this badly? You can't blame me.
"By the way," she suddenly remembered something, "Did Dr. Chen come?"
"Dr. Chen has already left, she just left not long ago," Qin Xin replied.
Bai Ningning couldn't help but feel regretful: "That's quite unfortunate. If I had come back a bit earlier, I could have chatted with Dr. Chen for a bit. And it's not easy for her to come here."
"You should stay and have a meal."
Qin Xin thought to herself, if she stayed and ran into you, knowing you wanted her to stay for a meal, she would probably come up with an excuse about a stomach ache right away, and if she were really determined, she might even say something about a perforated ulcer.
Although she didn't know why, Qin Xin could tell that Dr. Chen really didn't want to face Bai Ningning directly.
"Ningning senior," she asked curiously, "Did something happen between you and Dr. Chen before?"
Bai Ningning looked confused: "No, we just chatted a bit, what's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"Lunch is still a while away," Bai Ningning said, completely unconcerned, "I'll go check on Sister Yueyue."
The bedroom door wasn't closed tightly, and Bai Ningning thought Qin Yue was sleeping. She tiptoed in to take a look and found Qin Yue sitting on the bed playing with her phone, looking very absorbed.
Then I won't disturb her for now. The matter of taking leave on Sunday can be discussed after the meal.
......
[00]: YN, I did it! I successfully took the first step.
As soon as Qin Yue opened the chat box, she saw this message from the other person.
[YN]: What first step?
[00]: The one you told me about last time, that I can't just wait around, I need to take the initiative. Today, I finally managed to ask her out.
Oh, that matter.
Qin Yue remembered that since the time of the electric energy surge, she and [00] had become good friends who talked about everything. [00] had a crush on a junior, but the other party had a girlfriend, so they had always been hesitant to do anything and suffered from unrequited love.
As a "successful person," Qin Yue gave some advice. For example, sometimes you can't just wait; you have to take the initiative and be a bit assertive, get the person to agree to meet first.
Just like herself, her relationship with Bai Ningning was very precarious, but instead of sitting back and doing nothing, she took the initiative, designed a way to get the person to her home, and then directly spent day and night together.
Look at how fulfilling life is now.
[YN]: That's great, congratulations.
[00]: Thank you, thank you. By the way, YN, you haven't been online for several days, is something wrong?
[YN]: It's nothing, actually, it's a bit embarrassing to say.
Because they were online friends and didn't know each other in real life, there was a natural sense of security. Plus, they usually talked about everything on the forum, and the other person was aware of her situation, so Qin Yue thought for a moment and replied truthfully.
[YN]: You know my girlfriend, she never lets me rest easy. Didn't I tell you before that I was planning to use Jekyll, but before using it, I needed to... so I gave in to her.
[YN]: I always thought that when I couldn't win, it was because the passive side had it easier and didn't have to exert much effort. I didn't expect that when I switched places with her a few days ago, I still wasn't her match. This made me a bit depressed, so I laid down for a couple of extra days.
[00]: I see. By the way, YN, why do you have to completely overpower your girlfriend and make her unable to move?
At that moment, Qin Yue heard Bai Ningning's voice from outside the door.
"Yueyue sister, it's time for lunch. Are you coming out to eat, or should I bring you something?"
Before she could respond, Bai Ningning continued, "Or should I just bring it in for you? With your condition, it's better for you to lie down a bit more; it's not a big deal for me to walk a little extra."
You see, this is one of the reasons why I "have to."
"Leave it outside, I'll come out to eat in a bit," Qin Yue said coldly, "Give me ten more minutes."
"Ten minutes? Isn't that a bit too much for yourself? Your injury has just healed; take it easy," Bai Ningning said with concern. "How about doubling it to twenty minutes?"
"Just ten minutes!"
