Chapter 580: Chapter 579: 553: Laughing and Guiding

“The last kind can be ruled out, adults with a childlike mentality, that is, individuals who mentally have not grown up, they too can suffer from pre-marriage phobia.”

“Definitely not possible, she is very strong and mature, like a protective umbrella for the whole family.”

If Xiao Qian’s sense of responsibility is second to none, Yu Minglang doesn’t think she fits the last category.

“Her?” Haha, you let it slip!

“I, I mean I am very strong, Auntie Liu, look at my mature expression.”

Yu Minglang made a very serious face, Professor Liu looked at him expressionless for two seconds, then silently got up, walked to another room, closed the door, and laughter could be heard from the room.

This was probably the funniest thing that had happened in a while, Professor Liu almost thought Yu Minglang came over to perform stand-up comedy. What an entertaining character!

Yu Minglang twitched at the corner of his mouth, what had he done? Did Aunt Liu really have to react like this?

Professor Liu finally stopped laughing and came out, then said seriously to Yu Minglang.

“Treating pre-marriage phobia is actually quite simple. We will give the counselee a set of questions to determine the degree of pre-marriage phobia, but I think she knows the answers to those questions all too well, you can’t catch her off guard——”

“It’s me!” Yu Minglang seriously corrected.

Professor Liu had a conditioned reflex, every time she saw Youngest Brother Yu so serious, she wanted to burst out laughing.

“Alright, I know these questions won’t ‘trap’ you, so can you tell me the details of your recent situation?”

“Lately, I’ve been having nightmares frequently. There are no abnormal behaviors during the day, and my work and studies are not affected. But I don’t like to talk about marriage. I think you should change Xiao Mei’s job.”

“Didn’t you say that ‘you’ are the one who is sick? Why should I stop my student’s work?” When Professor Liu heard about the nightmares, she also frowned and pondered.

Is Xiao Qian’s situation really that serious? She doesn’t seem affected on a daily basis, and the papers and reports she submitted have no issues at all. Plus, Professor Liu listens to her radio program every term, and the standard is very high.

“Because I’m currently unwell, I want her to keep me company. The job you arranged for her is crappy, listening to petty complaints every day. Can she be alright in such an environment?”

“Oh, I finally understand. You have so many counsellors to consult, but you chose to run to me. Is this your real motive?”

Professor Liu finally understood. Yu Minglang was really interesting, he went around in circles just to get to this point. He really hit two birds with one stone, direct and effective!

Yu Minglang must not trust the competence of others, and isn’t comfortable sharing his concerns with others. That’s why he decided to take a risk and consult Professor Liu. He wanted to find the most authoritative solution and also tried to convey his wish for Xiao Qian to change jobs to Professor Liu.

“I really don’t want her to do this kind of job.”

Yu Minglang believed that Xiao Qian’s current mood must be related to dealing with these problems every day.

“I don’t understand, those who call in don’t really have mental illness, they’re just temporarily upset. If you really want to train her, why not let her go somewhere more relevant to her major.”

Yu Minglang felt very distressed when he thought about his beloved being treated as a soundboard, being forced to listen to such nonsense every day.

“The problems she’d face in a place more relevant to her major would be more complex than what she’s dealing with now. Do you know Youngest Brother Yu, in many years of working, I’ve never seen such a gifted child. Having such a child here with me, I——”

“I know you’re torturing her to death, who you fancy you torment. Look at how you fancy our Team Leader, he’s skin and bones now.”

Professor Liu was angry, “You little rascal, stop messing around! Is it my fault that the old man is skinny? I don’t let him compete with young people, but he doesn’t listen. As a result, he overstrained himself and couldn’t eat because of the pain. Is that my fault too?”

“Eh? Has he strained himself? Why haven’t we heard him say this to us?”

“That old man is so concerned about face, how could he possibly admit that he overdid it when competing with you youngsters and strained himself? He didn’t sleep well because of the pain, and of course he couldn’t eat.”

After the Team Leader and Professor Liu remarried, the two of them got along even better than before. They often call each other and when Professor Liu doesn’t have class, she would go to see him.”

“Then why don’t you take care of him? He didn’t tell us.”

“He is about to retire, I’m busy ——” Professor Liu almost blurted out but quickly changed topic as this was supposed to be a secret.

“I feel that Xiao Qian’s mood is almost the same as how the Team Leader feels about you, talented people are always treasured. I’m afraid one wrong move on my part could ruin her.”

“Hehe…” Now what’s the difference between how she is right now and being ruined? She doesn’t even dare to get married anymore.

“You meanie, what are you laughing about? Let me tell you, pre-marriage phobia is really not a big problem. If the right methods are used, it can be quickly overcome. But she still has a long way to go, the difficulties for Xiao Qian now are not those things in the books. I arranged for her to be there to help her overcome her inner demons.”

“Are you sure?” Yu Minglang sneered, he felt that Xiao Qian’s demons were all drummed up by this old lady.

“Having interacted with Xiao Qian for so long, I feel that this child seems to have been hurt. Although she hides it very well, the wound is too deep. She doesn’t want anyone to find out. hiding it is not good for her. It’s better to use a gentle approach to squeeze the blood out of the wounds on her heart for easier healing. If you dare to question my professional level again, I’ll let the Team Leader not set you——” Professor Liu’s words abruptly ended.

“Not set me onto what?” Yu Minglang curiously asked.

Professor Liu revealed an I-won’t-tell-you expression, extremely triumphant.

Snubbed by the pretentious old lady, Yu Minglang wasn’t afraid of her. He was the Team Leader’s superior ace, could the Team Leader be swayed by her to bully him?

“I will now tell you the treatment plan, it can’t really be considered treatment because her so-called mental illness is not severe at all. We’ll call the upcoming plan guidance. Firstly, after you go back, do this…”

Real mental illnesses are much more serious than pre-marriage phobia, the symptoms which Yu Minglang was very worried about, was viewed by Professor Liu as a tiny problem.

After listening to Professor Liu’s words, Yu Minglang questioned, “Is it that simple?”

“It’s that simple, young man, remember to thank me sincerely when you start your happy days after getting married. If it weren’t for me putting her in this position, letting her inner reactions magnify, if this kind of reaction occurs after you guys get married, it would be much more complex than now.”

The principle is similar to the difference between chronic and acute. Acute attacks are severe, but generally easier to control, while chronic ones are hard to eradicate.
