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

Chapter 221 Lin Lilin is worried about being beaten

The door to the consultation room opened.

Then came the sound of leather shoes stomping on the ground, "tap tap tap."

This sound, which he had heard countless times in his daily life, sounded like heavenly music to Liu Pan's ears.

"Teacher." Liu Pan stood up abruptly, not daring to glance even once in Wang Sui's direction.

"Zhu Ren?" Lin Lilin ignored Liu Pan and his gaze was immediately drawn to Nan Zhu Ren. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

After the Chen Jie incident led to Nan Zhuren's expulsion from the school.

Although Nan Zhuren and Lin Lilin had many open and covert clashes.

But this was actually their second face-to-face meeting in person.

"What are you here for?"

Lin Lilin clearly did not expect Nan Zhuren to appear here at this time.

The last time he heard news of Nan Zhuren was about the description of him "punching Liu Pan".

Lin Lilin's expression tightened slightly, and he stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave the consultation room.

Nan Zhuren stood up gracefully: "I've come to see you, 'teacher'."

"Li Minglu's case has now been transferred here, but there are some issues regarding his specific circumstances that I haven't yet fully explained to you. I'm here today to have a brief discussion with you."

Because the visitors and their families were present, Nan Zhuren was very careful with his words.

At the same time, Nan Zhuren turned his gaze to Lin Lilin's back and only saw Li Minglu with his back to him in the consultation room.

Since he couldn't see Li Minglu's face, Nan Zhuren could only roughly interpret his state from Li Minglu's body language.

However, it is certain that Li Minglu is not as well-off as he was when he last finished his consultation with Nan Zhuren.

It wasn't even as good as when he first came to see Nan Zhuren.

It was at this moment, perhaps upon hearing Nan Zhuren's voice, that Li Minglu's body suddenly moved, and he turned around as if he had been awakened.

Nan Zhuren smiled at him.

During this process, Lin Lilin also sized up Nan Zhuren.

His movements, expression, and tone were all calm, a stark contrast to the descriptions given by Huang Xin and Liu Pan.

The psychology professor glanced at Wang Sui beside him and felt that he knew something.

"I see." There are indeed some things that are not suitable to be laid bare in front of visitors and their families. Lin Lilin agreed with this point.

"In that case, let's talk in my office." At the same time, we need to get Nan Zhuren away from the scene as soon as possible.

Nan Zhuren nodded in agreement.

Lin Lilin smiled at Wang Sui: "There have been some changes in Xiao Li's situation that I needed to discuss with you. But I'm sorry, I have some other things to attend to right now..."

He pointed to Zhizhuren and said, "So please wait a moment."

"Xiao Liu, you stay and chat with Xiao Wang for a while longer, I'll be right back."

Liu Pan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, hesitant to speak.

But Lin Lilin didn't look at him again. He gestured to Nan Zhuren and they walked out of the consultation room together.

……

Lin Lilin remained silent throughout the journey.

Their steps were also very hurried.

There were few people on the sixth floor, and none of the rooms he passed had anyone on duty. Lin Lilin kept his eyes straight ahead, his breathing a little rapid.

They didn't even take the elevator; the only sound was the clatter of footsteps. It wasn't until they arrived at the research group's office, after Lin Lilin swiped his card to open the door, that they finally reached it.

The middle-aged professor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher...and Nan Zhuren?!" Huang Xinteng, who was organizing experimental data in the office, suddenly stood up, his tone clearly showing surprise.

Lin Lilin's demeanor calmed down somewhat.

He walked slowly behind his desk, sat down, and then gestured to Nan Zhuren, who was standing motionless at the door.

"sit."

Nan Zhuren nodded.

Huang Xin's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Nan Zhuren looked around at the desk opposite where there was no chair, then pulled a chair from in front of his former workstation—now Liu Pan's workstation.

It dragged along making a creaking sound, finally settling down in front of Lin Lilin, and then sat down.

Neither of them spoke.

The two stared at each other for a full minute, each seemingly trying to read something from the other.

In the end, Huang Xin, who was the third observer, was the first to lose his composure. He silently stood up and slowly tried to walk out.

"Xiao Huang." Lin Lilin had to break the silence, and his voice made Huang Xin, who wanted to sneak away, stop in his tracks.

"Contact the security office downstairs and tell them there might be an emergency here. They'll be coming up soon."

After saying this, Lin Lilin's demeanor became completely calm and composed.

But in some ways, it seems even more detached from reality.

"Tell me, Zhu Ren, what brings you here this time?" Since he spoke first, Lin Lilin had to take over the task of introducing the topic. "Is it because of Li Minglu? Do you want to take him back? Or is it..."

Lin Lilin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Because of Chen Jie?"

Nan Zhuren pursed her lips, ignoring the second half of Lin Lilin's sentence.

He simply said, "I didn't intend to bring Li Minglu's case back—now that things have come to this point, frequently changing therapists would only have a negative impact on him and would not be conducive to his healing."

This statement seemed to be a show of weakness, but it also subtly undermined Lin Lilin.

After all, the current chaotic situation was caused by Lin Lilin repeatedly transferring Li Minglu.

However, in Lin Lilin's mind, Nan Zhuren was unaware of the reason why Li Minglu left Yan Nuo Psychological Center this time, and was also unaware that Liu Pan used "transference" on Wang Sui to control Li Minglu.

So Lin Lilin controlled his expression: "So, what brings you here this time?"

Nan Zhuren took a deep breath: "Just like I said, I have some information to share with you regarding Li Minglu's situation."

Nan Zhuren then repeated the same explanation he gave Huang Xin, stating that he had now established a solid consulting relationship with Li Minglu and had become part of Li Minglu's social support system.

“The current situation could cause unexpected harm to Li Minglu, and I think you need to know that.”

Nan Zhuren said sincerely, "Out of consideration for the visitor, I can reassure Li Minglu and increase his acceptance of 'coming back to you for counseling'."

After expressing your purpose, the next step is to persuade the other party.

Even Huang Xin found Nan Zhuren's words hard to believe.

As expected, Lin Lilin showed an incredulous expression upon hearing this: "Huh?"

However, before he could say anything...

The smart lock at the door suddenly beeped again.

Liu Pan's face appeared at the doorway.
