Meanwhile, in another guest room.

Xu Ling'er lay in bed, but she couldn't sleep. She flipped through the professional books in her hands, but she couldn't fall asleep or concentrate on reading.

Just then, her phone, which was lying to the side, suddenly rang. Seeing the name displayed, Xu Ling'er immediately perked up and answered, "Hello, teacher?"

Professor Robert chuckled kindly on the other end of the phone: "Ling'er, you're still up so late. How was your day at the Qin family's?"

“Teacher, I know you sent me to the Qin family so that I could understand what you really want to teach me, but that patient, Qin Xi, already has a psychologist, and I think she is quite unprofessional, which will seriously affect my normal treatment.”

Xu Ling'er paused: "I am very dissatisfied with the Qin family on this point. Teacher, you should have told me in advance."

"Since that psychologist was able to stay, he must have some merits. Ling'er, learn from others humbly. Psychotherapy is never a one-dimensional process."

Professor Robert earnestly said, "Just as I told you in the email, Ling'er, although you will indeed be studying psychiatry in the future, I still maintain that if you continue to go your own way without my guidance in actual treatment..."

“I know you won’t accept me as your student, teacher.”

Xu Ling'er took a deep breath, but she was still unconvinced.

Professor Robert was silent for a moment, then said, "Ling'er, the students I want to teach are doctors with human compassion, people who need our help and understanding, not madmen."

"Think about those words carefully, Ling'er."

After saying that, Robert hung up the phone. Xu Ling'er didn't answer, but seemed to be listening attentively. However, she was annoyed in her eyes. She couldn't help but throw the phone on the bed.

Xu Ling'er said irritably, "That's what counselors are supposed to do. I have prescription privileges, not to have heart-to-heart talks or do the same things as them. It's outrageous!"

"I really don't know what the teacher was thinking."

After that phone call, Xu Ling'er remembered Bai's words again, pursed her lips, and resolved to prove herself.

...

The next morning, Ruan Qing'an was leaning against the headboard, her leaden eyes open, while Qin Xi's arms were around her waist, his head buried in her waist and abdomen, fast asleep.

On Ruan Qing'an's neck, there were still bloody bite marks. She shook her head and said, "This mad dog only knows how to bite people."

037: [But I didn't see you hit him...]

Ruan Qingan raised an eyebrow, but 037 chose to remain silent.

However, when things almost got out of control last night, Xu Ling'er's sedative did have some effect. Qin Xi's consciousness was not clear, and he quickly fell into a coma again.

Perhaps feeling ashamed, he insisted on biting her neck.

Ruan Qing'an carefully pushed Qin Xi's hand away, then climbed off the bed and rubbed his sore arms.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, she suddenly saw the hemp rope lying to the side. Ruan Qing'an thought for a moment and, in order not to alert Qin Xi, decided to tie her up again. But at that moment, she heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Ruan Qing'an's eyes darkened slightly, and she quickly went to hide in the wardrobe.

The next moment, Xu Ling'er led the housekeeper into Qin Xi's bedroom, and Ruan Qing'an cautiously peeked out through the gap in the wardrobe.

To be honest, Ruan Qingan was quite worried about Xu Ling'er.

Xu Ling'er opened the door directly, acting so familiarly that it was as if a doctor was making rounds in a mental hospital, and the housekeeper didn't even have time to stop her.

She went inside, glanced around the bedroom, nodded in satisfaction, and walked to the bedside.

The butler couldn't help but say, "It seems the young master slept quite well?"

"Yes, you can just use the medicine directly."

Xu Ling'er nodded slightly.

Fortunately, before leaving, Ruan Qing'an retied the rope that he had untied the night before. However, Xu Ling'er still bent down and tugged at the rope: "Why is it so loose?"

The housekeeper explained, "The security personnel might not dare to take action."

"It's alright. If he has another episode and tries to hit someone, we can just use a restraint garment. It won't be that troublesome."

Xu Ling'er said casually, not paying much attention. After checking Qin Xi's physical condition, she wrote on the paper: "Alright, you can go to the study to see Mr. Qin now."

Seeing that Xu Ling'er and the housekeeper were about to go to the study, Ruan Qing'an lowered her eyes. She avoided the cleaning staff of the villa, came to the outside of the villa, and squatted outside the study window.

A moment later, Qin Cheng strolled into the study and nodded slightly to Xu Ling'er: "Dr. Xu, how is Qin Xi?"

"He is in good health and there is nothing seriously wrong."

The butler chimed in, "After the sedative was administered yesterday, I noticed that the young master looked terrible and was in poor spirits. But after just one night, he somehow recovered remarkably well. It's truly amazing."

Hearing this, Xu Ling'er said, "I just told him to rest well, and of course he will recover."

Nguyen Thanh An, standing outside the window, looked speechless.

037 continued cursing: "What on earth is she saying? If you hadn't gone to see her tonight, given Qin Xi's personality and state, things would have been even worse!"

“He can’t accept being in such a passive situation, not to mention that he was kidnapped before. Being tied up and unable to move again in the dark would make his attack even worse.”

Ruan Qing'an's eyes darkened slightly: "Even you, the little system, understand this principle, yet they didn't consider Qin Xi's perspective at all."

037: [Ancestor, what you said makes a lot of sense.]

But... were they really not insulting me?!

But the atmosphere in the study was peaceful. Qin Cheng was deep in thought. The butler was a long-time resident of the Qin family villa, and Qin Cheng trusted him completely. Even he said so, so perhaps…

Qin Cheng's smile deepened: "Dr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so capable. Dr. Ruan's treatment caused quite a bit of trouble before."

"Mr. Qin, I will not disgrace my teacher."

Xu Ling'er answered arrogantly, and Qin Cheng stood up: "Alright, in that case, the rest of the treatment will be entirely in your hands, Dr. Xu."

"By the way, housekeeper, since that's the case, please keep an eye on Dr. Ruan. Although we're keeping her around because we're worried about Qin Xi's condition changing, we still can't let her interfere with Dr. Xu's treatment."

Outside the window, Ruan Qing'an pressed his temples, his heart sinking to the bottom.
