Is it wrong for a tutor to correct a troubled girl?

If it is a hot summer, this is probably the only time when you don’t need to turn on the air conditioner and won’t feel hot.

Liu Mingfei suddenly remembered that Yan Xining's monthly rent, utilities and other expenses were less than a thousand yuan, even in the summer.

But in the summer, he had to run the air conditioner, and the rent and management fees alone would be 820. The monthly water and electricity bills were less than 180. He knew that the water and electricity meters in Jianzi Buildings were usually very fast.

Liu Mingfei remembered that he had taught Yan Xining not to cry when encountering sad things.

But in the end, it was Yan Xining who taught him a lesson with this sentence.

Liu Mingfei returned to the car and waited quietly for the sunrise. At 8:30 in the morning, he drove to a Grade A hospital.

He went to the hospital for no other reason than to see a psychiatrist.

Reality is not a game and cannot be restarted, and his experience is not something that any game planner can analyze for him. Only a psychologist can do it.

"Hello, would you like some tea?"

The psychologist was a woman in her thirties. She was making tea in an orderly manner. She was a little surprised when she saw Liu Mingfei. She didn't expect that there would be a patient right after she started work. Moreover, this patient looked extremely haggard, as if he had stayed up all night or even all night.

"Doctor, this is what happened. I have a friend living abroad who happened to meet a 15-year-old girl whose parents had just passed away and who had attempted suicide. She was very pitiful. She had always been very sensible and never caused trouble for others. My friend felt sorry for her, so he decided to take care of her..."

Liu Mingfei simply summarized the matter, stating that the identity was his friend, but did not mention the time travel. Under the doctor's questioning, he described Yan Xining's suicidal tendencies and self-harm psychology in detail.

He didn't say that Yan Xining was dead because he was afraid that the psychologist would misunderstand something. What he wanted to hear was how the psychologist would evaluate his "friend's" behavior.

The psychiatrist frowned and poured himself a cup of tea.

"If this is about your friend, I haven't spoken with him face to face, so I can't guarantee the accuracy of what I say." The doctor sighed and said, "Based solely on your description, your friend may have done things right and wrong."

"What's right is that your friend successfully established a relationship of trust with her, making her feel safe with your friend. At the same time, he respected her feelings, did not do anything to hurt her, and constantly comforted her with words and actions. When encountering someone showing tendencies to self-harm, the most important thing is to show care and support, listen sincerely, and let her know that she is not alone and does not need to bear all the pressure alone. This is what your friend did right."

"but."

The psychologist suddenly lowered the teacup, and the cup hit the table with a loud noise, which made Liu Mingfei's heart tremble.

She stared into Liu Mingfei's eyes and said seriously:

"Remember, as a friend or acquaintance, your friend can offer support and encouragement, but don't try to solve her problems alone. Professional help is key. Whenever possible, direct her to a professional agency to ensure she receives the right support and treatment."

"If your friend believes her safety is at risk, take immediate action and contact professional crisis services and emergency intervention."

"Be patient and understanding of her feelings and pain. People deal with trauma and emotional difficulties differently, and sometimes just listening and being there is enough."

"Finally, I want to emphasize that you should never try to solve her psychological problems alone."

……

Liu Mingfei sat in the chair in a daze for a long time. The psychologist was not in a hurry and drank her tea slowly. When the tea in front of Liu Mingfei got cold, she poured it out and poured a new cup for Liu Mingfei.

After a long time, Liu Mingfei finally came back to his senses. He leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, stood up, thanked the psychologist, and turned to leave.

He sat on the bench in the corridor and raised his head quietly.

He thought that if one person solved Wen Xiaoqiang's problem, he could use the same method to save Yan Xi Ning, but he didn't know that this was just imitating others without any reason.

No, when he solved Wen Xiaoqiang’s problem, if he hadn’t had the help of the maid, he probably wouldn’t have been able to complete the task so easily.

What's more, this time, there was no one else around Yan Xining except him.

He was so reckless as to let him be the only person she had contact with in the past few months.

He has always believed that he can do anything, and he calls himself a tech geek who can change the world. He believes that as long as he works hard, there will be no outcome that he cannot see.

But this time, a life was in his arms, and he watched her die.

In fact, he can't do anything.

"Fuckin' life."

Liu Mingfei said softly.

He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, feeling that he was finally tired, and prepared to get up and go back to the car for a good sleep.

At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated non-stop. He remembered that he shouldn't have set the alarm for this time. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the app.

[The user's emotional value has returned to a stable state. The system is restarting.]

[The user's mission target, SSR girl Yan Xi Ning, has died. The mission is being determined to have failed.]

[——Judgment failed!]

[The user has been detected to have the SR item - Newbie's Blessing. Do you want to use it?]

Liu Mingfei was slightly stunned. He had drawn this item before. When he clicked on the item details, it showed:

"The effect of this novice's blessing is unknown. It cannot be discarded or transferred. It will only be triggered when the user is in dire straits."

Liu Mingfei almost forgot he had this prop with such unknown effect. It was only now that he remembered it.

But why would it prevent the system from judging his mission as failed?

Why does it pop up at this time?

Being in a desperate situation, what does it mean to be in a desperate situation?

Is it...

Liu Mingfei tapped the screen hard with his fingers, but his body was shaking uncontrollably, and it took him several taps before he finally clicked on "yes".

In an instant, the screen changed, showing a long progress bar.

"Loading blessings from newbies, please be patient."

「……2%……8%……16%……32%……64%……96%……100%……加载完毕。」

A stack of tarot cards on the screen keeps sliding horizontally, new tarot cards keep appearing, and finally the wheel stops, and the tarot card in the middle is turned over.

"Congratulations to the user for obtaining the negative item—Her Majesty the Witch's Crown of the Abyss."

"Effect 20: Forces the owner to return to any time during the mission, but the time difference must be greater than 20% of the mission deadline. If the mission progress time is less than % of the total deadline, the owner will return to the mission's starting time."

Effect 50: If the mission fails, there will be no penalty; if the mission succeeds, the reward will be reduced by %

"Please confirm the retracing time point."

Liu Mingfei stared at the words on the screen. If he understood correctly, did it mean that he could return to a save point in the mission like reloading a save file?

20% of the five-month period is one month, which means he can go back at least one month.

Does this mean that he can see Yan Xi Ning again after he returns? Does this mean that he can have a chance to redeem himself and save Yan Xi Ning?

Liu Mingfei was just about to confirm the time to one month ago, but just before clicking confirm, he calmed down and moved his hand away.

The time point when he wants to go back... is it really a month ago?

Judging from Yan Xining's obsessive love for him, the seeds of paranoia and evil may have been planted long ago.

If he only went back a month, he would probably only see Yan Xining for another month, and would not be able to really save her. Unless he locked Yan Xining up forever, Yan Xining would still choose to commit suicide when he was not around.

In other words, he must find out when Yan Xining planted the seed of paranoia and evil.

He recalled every detail of his time with Yan Xining over the past three months, and at a certain point, his eyes suddenly widened.

found it.

It was the day he caught Yan Xining scratching her thigh.

Two months and one week have passed since then.

From that day on, Liu Mingfei forbade Yan Xining to wear stockings.

The cuffs of the maid outfit also became shorter, the style became low-cut and navel-baring, and the skirt was shortened by ten centimeters.

He even let her live in her home.

It almost eliminated all possibility of her self-harm.

But she was not given any other compensation.

If we were to say when Yan Xining started to turn evil, the seeds must have been planted on this day.

It was this day that Liu Ming insisted on returning to.

After entering the time node in the mobile phone and clicking confirm, Liu Mingfei suddenly went dark and lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a gorgeous silver-haired girl lying in front of him. Her cheeks still looked a little childish. She was looking at his hand that lifted her skirt in surprise. There were dozens of wounds of varying sizes on the roots of her thighs on the lace edge of her stockings. Some were freshly scratched and had not yet scabbed over, while others had already scabbed over and were almost healed.

"Acridine!"

Free skirt 50⒈8

Yan Xining quickly reached out to press her skirt and tightened her legs to prevent Teacher Liu from seeing her wound. At the same time, the girl's shyness suddenly swept over her body.

In this kind of situation...lifting up the skirt...could it be?

Yan Xining closed her eyes tightly, worried about what Teacher Liu would do next.

But she closed her eyes for a long time and didn't feel any touch on her body. She narrowed her eyes slightly in surprise, and saw Teacher Liu standing there motionless, staring at her blankly, with two lines of tears on both sides of her cheeks.

"Teacher Liu?"

Yan Xining had just opened her mouth to ask out of curiosity when she felt her eyes go dark and someone hugged her tightly in his arms. It was Teacher Liu. He hugged her tightly and before she could react or struggle, she heard Teacher Liu sobbing like a child while she was in a daze.

"I'm glad you're okay... I'm glad you're okay..."

Yan Xi Ning was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to her senses... Why was Teacher Liu crying so hard... Was it because of her... Did Teacher Liu really care about her so much? Did Teacher Liu have such a kind heart hidden beneath her cold exterior? She suddenly felt that Teacher Liu wasn't so scary anymore.

Yan Xining struggled slightly to break free from Liu Mingfei's embrace, stretched out her hands, and wrapped them around Liu Mingfei's back. She closed her eyes and patted him gently, saying:

"Teacher Liu, don't cry. You taught me not to cry even if I'm sad."

17. The Returning Girl (Monthly Ticket Rewards and Additional Updates 1/6)

Yan Xining hugged Liu Mingfei gently. She actually didn't understand the real reason why Teacher Liu was crying, but she could hear his endless sadness and sorrow from his crying, which made her feel uneasy.

She had always seen Teacher Liu's strong side, but it turned out that Teacher Liu also had vulnerable moments. This surprised and delighted Yan Xining, and she felt that Teacher Liu was no longer so distant.

Just like now, she can gently pat Teacher Liu's broad back and tenderly stroke his soft hair.

Liu Mingfei swallowed hard for a while, forcing himself not to cry anymore. He broke free from Yan Xining's embrace, leaned over to look at the silver-haired girl whose hair and clothes were a little messy, and reached out to help her straighten her clothes and hair.

He took out the first aid kit from the cabinet to apply medicine and remove her scars.

"Teacher Liu..." Yan Xi Ning said shyly, "Can I apply it myself?"

There was no other meaning in what the girl said. Her wound was very deep, reaching the base of her leg.

For most people, touching a girl's thigh is considered an offensive act unless they are close friends. Moreover, the crotch is where you can touch her underwear without even extending a finger.

Liu Mingfei was silent for a few seconds, shook his head and chose to refuse.

"No, I want to see for myself that you've applied the medicine." Liu Mingfei said firmly, "Either I watch you apply it, or I'll do it for you."

If this point in time is the crossroads of fate, then Liu Mingfei will not make the same mistake as last time.

He could let Yan Xining be free, not lock her up here, and let her be a free bird, but in the early stages he had to protect her safety, and he had to be in charge of it personally.

"Teacher Liu...this..."

The girl's cheeks quickly turned red. Before she could refuse, Liu Mingfei had already put on white gloves, walked up to her quickly, lifted her skirt, and applied medicine to her.

"Hey~~"

Yan Xining couldn't help but make some strange noises. Her cheeks were flushed, but her ears were even redder, spreading from her neck all the way to her earlobes.

She probably didn't expect Teacher Liu to be so domineering and straightforward. He did what he said without giving her any room to refute.

"Don't make any weird noises." Liu Mingfei said calmly, "You can make some if you want, but at least don't move your legs around and get them all over your legs."

His voice was cold, and he didn't sound like he had that thought at all.

Yan Xining swallowed and looked at Liu Mingfei who was applying medicine to her with a focused expression. He had no other thoughts, which made her feel at ease.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

But when she realized that she had actually settled down over something like this, she became even more shy.

Liu Mingfei was just applying medicine to Yan Xining seriously.

Her wounds were shocking. Normally, a single cut from a knife would hurt, but she actually cut her thigh so many times.

Liu Mingfei felt the pain of the more than ten-centimeter wound cut by Yan Xining, and he wanted to cry.

But he could only remain expressionless. After applying the medicine to Yan Xining, he took off his gloves, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came back to face the shy Yan Xining.

He thought for a moment and said, "Come out with me tomorrow."
