Chapter 521: Chapter 495: Still Want Money (Monthly Ticket 1550+ Updated)

“Even so, I can’t let you treat her. Let go of me; I’ll call your senior sister to handle this.” This is not an ordinary case. Even if Professor Liu can’t treat it himself, he must let the doctor he trained take on the case.

“Will there be enough time for senior sister to arrive? Do you have any apprentices in Qiang City? Even if senior sister comes, will Hu Meijing trust her? Besides you, I’ve had the most contact with Hu Meijing. Although she doesn’t remember that period, we both know that a person’s subconscious keeps a favorable impression of someone. She won’t reject me.”

Xiao Qian had previous contact with Hu Meijing. And now, even though Hu Meijing doesn’t remember anything about that other personality, she will certainly not reject Xiao Qian.

Indeed, Xiao Qian is the most suitable candidate, but Professor Liu is still worried. No matter how talented Xiao Qian is, she’s still a child. This profession should not allow children to easily diagnose and treat patients, especially without extensive clinical experience.

Especially in such complex cases.

This is different from the minor psychological issues encountered before. This time, it’s a problem that even Professor Liu doesn’t know how to deal with.

“Teacher, before I get my license, let’s stick to our old rules. I’ll tell you my thoughts and my treatment plan, and if you think it’s appropriate, I’ll go ahead. I’ll inform you of any progress, and if there are any issues, we can discuss them at any time, alright?”

“Well… ”

“Actually, there’s something I haven’t told you. Do you know why I call you teacher? And don’t you find it strange that I know so many treatment methods?”

“Indeed, it’s strange that a child who just entered university knows so much. Who taught you all this? Your clinical experience seems quite rich, and you even slightly resemble my style in my early years.”

An apprentice hand-taught by the master himself would be strange if they weren’t similar.

Xiao Qian already has a strategy.

“That’s because I once found a notebook filled with medical records. After reading it, I was greatly inspired, and it opened a door to the mysterious world of psychology for me. The signature in that notebook is yours, and that’s also the reason why I chose this school.”

“So you’re the one who found it?” Professor Liu does have a habit of taking notes wherever he goes.

Xiao Qian also has the habit of taking notes, a habit she learned from her teacher.

“Yes, unfortunately, when we moved, my useless younger brother lost that notebook. But I still remember the clinical cases it covered: phobias, manic disorders, anorexia, binge eating disorder, social phobia, and several others. You wrote in great detail.”

Thanks to Professor Liu’s torment in her past life, Xiao Qian can recite them all.

One day, when she was sorting materials for her teacher, he suddenly had a whim. He said that around the Millennium, he lost a notebook with clinical treatment records for several types of disorders. He asked Xiao Qian to turn in a case summary every week; if she made a mistake, she would have to copy related professional literature as punishment. This nearly tormented Xiao Qian to death.

It’s also because of having such a teacher that Xiao Qian’s professional foundation became so solid.

“No wonder you always leave traces of my style, even though I’ve never taught you directly. Now that you mention it, I suppose you can be considered my apprentice.”

Professor Liu felt inexplicably reassured, suddenly feeling that Xiao Qian’s way of addressing him as “teacher” was quite appropriate.

“I was able to start learning after reading your notebook. Now, I’ll handle the situation, and if you think there’s anything inappropriate, you can correct me at any time. Please consider me your eyes, alright?”

Xiao Qian thought her excuse was very perfect and flawless.

No one knows about her rebirth, and her style is so similar to Professor Liu’s. Using such an excuse to brush things off won’t raise any suspicions in the future. This way of addressing him as “teacher” will also become more justified.

“Tell me about your plan first.” Professor Liu seemed to compromise a bit.

“Under the current circumstances, the previous method of forcibly suppressing won’t work. I guess, Teacher, you must have used some kind of hypnosis to suppress her memories before.”

“Did I write this in my notes?”

“No, your notes were just a starting point. I’ve also read many more books afterward – you know how theory classes in Da Yi aren’t as fun as reading clinical books.”

“Continue.”

“You must have heard about how Emperor Yu tamed the rivers. Gun tried to block the water but failed, Emperor Yu learned from Gun’s failure, changed the method of blocking, and achieved great success by dredging the floods. I want to use this kind of approach to treat Hu Meijing.”

“You mean… guide her to release her emotions? No, that won’t work. She will definitely collapse.”

Years ago, why did Hu Meijing develop a split personality? It was because she went to look at Lone Wolf’s body despite everyone’s advice, and even sneaked a glimpse of Liu Shuang when nobody was paying attention. The horrible scene caused her to break down.

Now that she’s pregnant, how can she endure such a blow again?

“If we don’t let her finish what she couldn’t do years ago, her emotions will be bottled up inside her forever, and the child still won’t be safe. She can’t listen to anyone right now, and she’s even more resistant to hypnosis. I’ll guide her to fulfill her wishes, and then use a more conservative treatment method to bring out her gentle personality.”

As Xiao Qian spoke, she was much more confident than in her previous life.

Ever since their last conversation, she had been reflecting on how to treat Shi Touyu if he appeared in her previous life and how to handle Hu Meijing’s case with her teacher.

Perhaps the treatment would have been the same, but while both individuals had the same disorder, the actual treatment would definitely be different.

Xiao Qian also considered another outcome: if hypnosis suppression was only half successful and Hu Meijing’s personality awoke, how would she handle it? As expected, it happened.

One personality woke up, while the other fell asleep.

“This is a bit risky; there have been no similar cases before.”

“Isn’t clinical treatment about crossing the river by feeling the stones? Doesn’t the first page of your notebook say that? Any mental illness, even if it’s the same diagnosis, might have different treatment methods. Since there’s no successful case, we have to feel our way across the river.”

Professor Hu writes the same sentence on the first page of every notebook – clinical treatment is like crossing the river by feeling the stones – Xiao Qian knows this from helping him sort them out in the past.

Xiao Qian can’t say she’s 100% sure, but she’s determined to bravely try.

At first, Professor Liu hesitated. But seeing Xiao Qian’s confident expression and hearing Hu Meijing’s crying from the next room, he felt heartbroken. Hu Meijing couldn’t even cry out loud anymore.

She was also a poor child. If she could cry out loud, she would; if not, she would just silently shed tears. The sadness in her heart would never go away, and it was heartbreaking to hear.

“Go on, but if you can’t solve it, come back immediately. Call in your master and let him call over your senior sister. If you can’t handle it, she will.”

Xiao Qian took off Professor Liu’s glasses again, cupping her hands around his face, using the warmth of her palms to comfort her teacher.

“Teacher, have faith in yourself. How can the student you taught be incapable? You should rest well. I will treat this illness as my duty, without charging you any money—”

“You want to charge me?!”
