Xiao Qian dragged Dong Yi shopping for clothes.

They couldn’t find what she wanted in the clothing stores near University Town, so they took a car to the city. One of the outfits Xiao Qian needed could only be rented from a bridal shop. As they were leaving the store, Dong Yi accidentally bumped into a woman.

“I’m sorry!” Dong Yi immediately bowed her head and helped the woman pick up her things from the ground.

She had knocked over the woman’s bag, and all the medicine inside had scattered everywhere.

The woman was extremely angry.

“Don’t you have eyes?! How do you walk?!”

“I’m sorry!” Dong Yi repeated her apology, quickly picking up the items.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qian was looking at the baby stroller the woman was pushing.

On it sat a expressionless child who looked to be under two years old. Xiao Qian felt that there was something off about the child’s gaze.

As she bent down to help Dong Yi pick up the medicine, she froze when she saw the medicine labels.

This is…

Medicine for treating gynecological infections and… medication for treating anxiety prescribed by the Neurology Department. The appearance of these two types of medicine together gave Xiao Qian a bad feeling.

She carefully looked at the woman pushing the child, then at the child in the stroller, and combined with the medicine, she seemed to understand something.

Dong Yi had already picked up the medicine and was still apologizing to the woman, who kept cursing.

“Excuse me, ma’am, I have to ask, are all these medicines for you?” Xiao Qian spoke up.

The woman, displeased, said, “It’s none of your f*cking business!”

Dong Yi looked at Xiao Qian strangely. Chen Xiaoqian was definitely not a busybody, so what made her suddenly speak up and ask such an impolite question?

“Please, when you have the time, go to a regular Neurology Department and get a check-up. You can’t delay any longer for the sake of the child,” Xiao Qian said, feeling very uncomfortable looking at the child in the stroller.

Her OCD would act up whenever she saw an unfortunate child.

“What did you say?” The woman didn’t understand.

“Although I don’t know what you’ve experienced in the past, please immediately notify your spouse to accompany you for treatment because you’ve already affected the child. For the child’s normal development, please go to the Neurology Department or find a professional psychologist.”

“Pah!” The woman didn’t hesitate to push Xiao Qian. “You’re the one who’s crazy!”

Xiao Qian endured the discomfort of her OCD acting up, grabbed the woman’s hand, and said earnestly, “Please go see a psychologist. Doctoral Supervisor Liu Linlin from Beidou Normal University can help you. For the sake of the child, don’t delay.”

“How annoying, let go!” The woman pushed Xiao Qian away, glancing at her as if she were a lunatic, and walked away quickly with her child.

“Boss Qian, why did you say that…” Dong Yi was about to ask Xiao Qian when she was startled by her pale face.

“Find water.” Xiao Qian could only think about washing her hands now.

They entered the nearby KFC, and only after washing her hands for several minutes did Xiao Qian’s agitation subside.

Dong Yi looked at her worriedly. “Boss Qian, are you alright?”

“You’ll learn about it in your specialized courses when you get to your third year. I have OCD.”

They had been walking for a while and were a bit tired, so they sat down in KFC. Xiao Qian bought a Coke. Dong Yi was frugal and didn’t buy anything. Xiao Qian offered to buy her something, but she refused.

Xiao Qian didn’t push her either. When dealing with someone like Dong Yi, it was important to respect boundaries; otherwise, it might make her uncomfortable.

“What is OCD?”

“Simply put, it’s a common mental illness. However, psychologists who have mental illnesses are very difficult to treat, just like oncologists who get cancer and die faster than ordinary people with cancer. Knowing too much can make you lose faith and die faster. A healer can’t heal themselves. So Dong Yi, choosing the psychology major was a mistake.”

Dong Yi seemed surprised.

Xiao Qian stirred the Coke in her cup with a straw.

“When you truly consider me a friend, you can ask me for help. If I can cure you, I swear that you will be the best psychologist in the future. You have the qualities a psychologist should possess.” Once she was cured, Xiao Qian would have Dong Yi sign a contract to work in her studio in the future. She needed such talent.

Xiao Qian had been observing Dong Yi for a long time. Although she couldn’t be certain of the specific situation, she was sure Dong Yi had psychological issues.

“Why did you say that when you saw the woman with the child just now?” Dong Yi didn’t want to talk about her own situation.

Xiao Qian wasn’t in a hurry to push her to believe in herself. This was a process that required time, and she had confidence that she would provide therapy to Dong Yi sooner or later. For now, she could just consider Dong Yi her student.

A Female Doctor of Psychology giving special tutoring to a rookie studied Psychology major— Xiao Qian wouldn’t have done this if she didn’t recognize Dong Yi’s abilities.

“The woman had a tense face, furrowed eyebrows, and a nervous expression. She was also holding Paroxetine Tablets, Duloxetine, and a few Chinese herbs for calming nerves.”

“What are those two Western medicines you mentioned for?”

“Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. In particular, the Paroxetine Tablets are the first choice for treating anxiety disorders. Considering the woman’s facial expressions and her irritable mood, I suspect she may have issues related to anxiety.”

This was what top psychologists could do, discerning situations from a person’s mental state.

“Why did you say that she and her spouse should see a doctor together?”

“Anxiety disorders come in many forms, and one of the most frightening forms is…I hope she isn’t that.”

Xiao Qian thought about the woman’s gynecological infection medication. Although she couldn’t confirm it, she was certain that the woman might have some anxiety related to sex. She hoped it wasn’t the most terrible form.

“What does that have to do with the child?” Dong Yi had been interested in psychotherapy since she started following Xiao Qian, her benefactor. She now found herself becoming more interested due to Xiao Qian’s expertise.

“Psychology is divided into several categories. My area of expertise is applied psychology, which mainly deals with mental illnesses and marriage counseling. In addition to this, there is developmental psychology, which I’m not as proficient in. It focuses on the characteristics of people at different stages and emphasizes the psychological development of children at various stages. I can assure you that our behavior as adults is related to our childhood experiences.”

The child must have been affected, which was why Xiao Qian felt her OCD act up and wanted to wash her hands when she saw him..
