Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!
Chapter 6 Solving the Problem at Its Root
Why do you think that way?
The doctor was somewhat surprised. His original intention was simply to advise Lu Mingfei again, as it would be a terrible thing if a child of this age became accustomed to violence.
Those thugs are a good example. They used to be able to swagger around in front of younger students, acting like gangsters, simply because those students were still ignorant of the world and didn't know how to protect themselves.
But now they've encountered someone with even greater violence than they have, and they've suffered a crushing defeat.
He witnessed Lu Mingfei using violence twice today to solve problems, which made him somewhat worried, and he wanted to correct Lu Mingfei's mindset.
Lu Mingfei's words confirmed his fears. This child had always tried to face the world with a carefree attitude, but all he received in return was a greater indifference. Now that the child had found violence effective, he couldn't wait to see it as salvation.
But violence will eventually meet with greater violence. When that happens, what will Lu Mingfei use to protect himself?
"It just suddenly dawned on me that the world isn't actually that kind to me. Everyone gives me hope while simultaneously giving me despair, watching me hang on the edge of a cliff."
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at the crimson clouds outside the window. The flames that had fallen from the sky appeared and disappeared in the black mist, like breathing.
Actually, he didn't know why he suddenly thought that way. It was just that when he was facing those thugs today, the folding knife was pressed against his body, and the breath of life and death mingled together. At that moment, many things came to mind.
First, I was scared. I was afraid that these people would be too rough and actually stab me in, and how painful that would be.
He had suffered several minor injuries before, and each time he went to the hospital to change his dressings, the nurses would touch the wound repeatedly, causing him to tremble in pain.
He couldn't imagine the pain of the knife piercing his flesh. Actually, he hadn't done anything wrong, right? At most, he was just a bit of a smart aleck in class, liking to spout nonsense. He didn't usually tease pretty girls like other boys.
But liking to complain is not a sin. Everyone has some complaints they want to vent. Does saying something mean you have to go to hell?
That hell must be overflowing with people by now; everyone would have to form a human ladder to find a place to stand.
To be honest, he has done a lot of good deeds, such as helping old ladies cross the road and giving a little of his own pocket money to beggars he encounters on the roadside.
His life is already miserable enough, so why is the world still unwilling to let him go?
So when the folding knife pierced the skin of his waist, all fear receded like a tide, followed by a tsunami of rage!
He was angry at himself for being so cowardly, angry at the world for targeting him, and angry at these people for specifically targeting him.
I was even angrier that I couldn't do anything about it!
So he decided to do something. He saw a few bricks lying in the corner, covered with moss and dirty dirt. He gazed at them, and they responded to him.
That moment was like the destined wand in Harry Potter. Harry grasped the wand, his fingertips suddenly heated up, and with a flick of his wrist, red light radiated and gold sparks flew—the wand was a perfect match.
Holding the magic wand forged from mud and stone, Lu Mingfei beat the thugs to a pulp, making them wail and beg for mercy. All his anger was released. At that moment, he felt as if he had grasped all the power and strength in the world. More importantly, he had grasped his own heart. He understood how to face the world afterward.
"Using violence is wrong. In that situation, you can wait until you escape before calling the police. The law will punish them. That is the best solution."
The doctor was rambling incoherently. He then realized that he had underestimated how much grievance and loneliness this boy had kept inside. That was why his outburst was so powerful and forceful, and the surging anger seemed to set the whole world on fire.
He couldn't just sit idly by. Lu Mingfei's mindset was too unstable right now. He was living with a huge hatred for the world, but one day that fire would eventually burn Lu Mingfei himself.
"Doctor, don't you think what you're saying is a bit contradictory?"
"What?"
The doctor didn't react in time.
"Some of them are minors. Are you sure the law will really punish them?"
Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.
The doctor couldn't answer, and then realized that Lu Mingfei had actually remembered his words. He wasn't sure if Lu Mingfei had anticipated that he would ask this question, which was why he remembered the words and used them here.
"But at least it will teach them a lesson..."
The doctor seemed somewhat unsure.
"Teaching them a lesson won't bring them fairness or what I want. After being taught a lesson, they will only become more violent and take it out on others."
Lu Mingfei shook his head. "Actually, I quite like my homeroom teacher. At least he cares about my grades and whether I can get into university... Sometimes when I do really badly on a test, he will call me to his office to explain the problems to me privately. He doesn't know that he actually has a catchphrase when he explains problems."
"What's your catchphrase?"
The doctor thought to himself as soon as he spoke that something was wrong. He had been drawn into Lu Mingfei's story without even realizing it. He was supposed to be the psychologist, but now he was being led by the nose by a patient and was even playing the role of the straight man. Lu Mingfei didn't continue speaking, so he just asked him a question.
"His motto is to solve problems at their root."
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Every time he explained a problem to me, I couldn't understand it. At that point, he would get very angry and would eventually break the problem down for me to see, telling me that to solve a problem, you have to address the root cause."
"He seems to be talking about solving a problem..."
The doctor thought to himself, "Your homeroom teacher meant that you should solve problems from their root cause, not that you should eliminate problems from their root cause in life."
Most of the problems and difficulties in life actually originate from another person. If we follow Lu Mingfei's logic, wouldn't he have to wipe out half of the world's population if he wanted to solve these problems?
"But some principles are universal, and I think this statement is quite useful in the current situation."
Lu Mingfei said, "I used to think I was really lonely and pathetic, so I desperately wanted to make friends with others. But how would a loser like me know how to make friends with others? So I could only pretend to be crazy and think that as long as I made them laugh, they would be happy and become my friends and play with me."
"I can be your friend."
The doctor said dryly that Lu Mingfei's current state frightened him; he was like a madman talking to himself, his eyes focused on the outside of the window.
"You won't be my friend. I'm a student and you're a doctor; we have nothing in common. The only reason you're sitting here talking to me is because you're a doctor, and your profession forces you to talk about these meaningless topics."
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look into the doctor's eyes. "I don't look forward to friends as much anymore... I've realized something. I used to want to make friends because I thought having friends would make me happy, but now, I can still make myself happy even without friends."
"Your happiness is built on the suffering of others..."
"It's better than others building their happiness on my suffering, right? Doctor, do you like watching movies?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"I watch it occasionally."
The doctor nodded.
"My uncle had a collection of old movies. He said that children shouldn't watch those movies because they would corrupt us. But children are like that; the more adults forbid them from doing something, the more they want to do it. So one time when my cousin and I were out, we took those movies out and watched them ourselves."
"You're watching a proper movie, aren't you?" The doctor opened his mouth, but didn't interrupt Lu Mingfei.
"There's a movie called 'Young and Dangerous,' and my uncle has collected the entire series."
"Young and Dangerous"? Oh, that's fine. Although it might corrupt children, it's still better than some Japanese action-romance movies.
"My favorite is the third one, 'Covering the Sky with One Hand,' which has a character named Crow."
Lu Mingfei looked at the doctor intently. "There's a scene where he flips the table, which is quite famous. I thought he was both domineering and crazy. If someone makes him unhappy, he'll go and flip their table. He also has a line."
"Difficult to handle? Then don't do it!"
