Chapter 58
An Qiqing's disciples certainly had good intentions; they were invited by An Qiqing to help Yifeng win the competition. As for the rest, what about Western psychology versus metaphysics? What was that?
Not to mention where Yifeng got the courage to challenge the metaphysical masters, they don't even understand Western psychology.
So, seeing Yifeng struggling so much, they gave him a suggestion.
However, they didn't know that this suggestion made Yifeng feel stuck in a dilemma.
Yifeng did not forget that he claimed to be an expert in Western psychology. Although his selfish motive in the competition with Yu Lanlan was to use Yu Lanlan as a stepping stone to make a leap forward, on the surface, he was doing it under the guise of proving Western psychology.
If he really did what the metaphysical master said, it would be a huge joke.
At that time, not only will the audience laugh at him for borrowing metaphysics, but he will also never be able to raise his head again. After all, once these words come out, isn't he implicitly admitting that the Western psychology he learned is not as good as metaphysics?
But at this point, Yifeng suddenly realized that for some Chinese people, Western psychology seemed less effective than fortune-telling. Born and raised in China, these people deeply believed in concepts like the Eight Characters and yin and yang. Even if metaphysics weren't true, as long as the narrative was articulated correctly, they would believe it, and once they believed it, their psychology would naturally change...
What's more, he now knows that metaphysics is actually true and not superstition.
Yifeng only felt regretful now, but it was too late. He had taken the wrong path from the very beginning and put himself on the fire.
While he was thinking about this, several seconds had passed in the outside world.
In the eyes of the audience, the fact that he had been thinking for so long meant that he could not find a solution, and there was a lot of sighs in the barrage.
Fortunately, Yifeng came up with a temporary solution at the critical moment.
He looked at the patient's parents and said, "If you two don't cooperate with me, it may be impossible for your son to get better."
When he said this, the patient's parents were really stunned.
The two looked at each other, then compromised, "Then we'll listen to you."
They agreed on the surface, but everyone knew that they were not convinced and might backfire at any time.
Yifeng understood the same thing, but this was the only way he could do until he found a more effective way.
He looked at the patient, who showed no particular change after his parents agreed to stop pressuring him.
It seems that only by solving his academic problems can we truly untie his knot.
An Qiqing's disciples also saw this logic and said, "Let's try to figure out why he didn't get his master's degree. Please wait a little longer."
If they were to perform divination in person, they could use other methods, but hiding behind Yifeng, they could only make divinations based on face reading and horoscopes. This not only results in low efficiency, but also a much higher error rate.
In addition, these disciples have not yet grown up, so it is impossible for Yifeng to solve the problem as quickly as Yu Lanlan.
Yifeng used the tactic of procrastination again, but unfortunately the metaphysical master behind him still had not reached a conclusion.
He could only send the patient and his family away and end the live broadcast for the day.
-
On the other side that the audience cannot see, Yu Lanlan's patient has mastered the trick and understands how to deal with his parents.
He returned home, and his parents had indeed learned through the live broadcast that he was going home and were waiting for him.
"Ah Hui, have you figured it out and decided to go out and look for a job?"
"That anchor was a bit harsh, saying we created three disasters for you. We were clearly doing this for your own good. If we hadn't chosen this university and major for you, you wouldn't have been able to get into a state-owned enterprise right after graduation. Even though that happened, it's just your bad luck and your inability to adapt. If you knew how to operate, you would have been promoted long ago, not just with a serious disciplinary warning."
"That's right, your ex-girlfriend is so ordinary-looking and less than 1.6 meters tall. She's really not worthy of you. If you marry her and your child inherits her looks and height, what will happen then?"
Listening to the two people's stubborn and unreflective words, the patient's heart was no longer disturbed. He walked directly to the drawer in his parents' room where they kept the documents.
His parents were still chattering, but when they saw his strange behavior, they hurriedly followed him.
Seeing him open the drawer and start looking for information inside, the two immediately realized that something was wrong and stepped forward to stop him.
"Ah Hui, are you looking for something? Mom and Dad will help you find it."
Unfortunately, the patient's mind is now extremely firm, and the two of them can't do anything to help.
Soon, the patient gathered all the information he needed, put it in his arms, and walked straight out.
His parents saw him taking the household registration book and other things with their own eyes, and thought he wanted to go back to find his ex-girlfriend to get a certificate. They immediately got angry and started threatening him.
"Stop right there! What do you want to do?!"
"Are you thinking of going back to see your ex-girlfriend?! I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
The two men were completely unaware of the psychological distress their harsh words would cause their son, and they went forward to block the door.
Little did they know that their son had never intended to leave.
He turned and walked towards the balcony, picking up a clothes pole on the way through the living room. Their balcony was a bit complicated, with a flower bed-like structure outside the fence.
The patient stepped over the fence and stood on the other side of the flower bed, using a pole to block his parents who had hurried over after noticing something was wrong.
"Come on, you choose. Either you stay out of my business from now on, or I'm going to jump right off here."
"Choose."
Seeing their only son standing in such a dangerous place, the parents finally lost control.
"Ah Hui! Don't be so depressed. It's too dangerous out there. Please come back first, okay?"
"What on earth do you want to do? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You have studied for so many years, but you have learned nothing?!" The patient's father stared at his son with an angry look on his face, but he was afraid that his son would really do something stupid, so he did not dare to step forward.
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall? That's because he has the opportunity to choose, but you forced me to do this!" The patient was madly calmly.
There were neighbors at home who heard the quarrel and came to the window to check. They saw such an exciting scene. Some even screamed and asked what was going on.
When the patient's parents found out that they were being watched, they couldn't hold back their anger.
"Come back soon! Look how many people are looking at you! Isn't that embarrassing enough?!"
"Ah Hui, just listen to us and come back, okay? It's too dangerous out there!"
The patient knew that since he had done something like this, he had to do it to the end. Unless the parents in front of him said something, they would never take this matter seriously in the future.
"I'll repeat myself, either leave me alone from now on, or I'm going to jump right off here today!"
This time, his voice was loud enough for the neighbors around to hear.
Sure enough, there were more discussions around.
The patient's parents were completely embarrassed. Their son had simply trampled on their family's reputation, which made the two people who attached great importance to face feel extremely uncomfortable.
When they thought about what the neighbors would say about their family after seeing this, and how they would say that the two of them had forced their son to almost jump off the building, they felt like their hearts were bleeding.
The patient's father even shouted angrily: "Alright! I don't care about you, right?! From now on, I will pretend that I don't have a son like you! Even if you jump, I won't care!"
After saying that, he left the balcony and walked out angrily.
His mother looked back and forth between him and his father. Seeing that he was still indifferent and pointing the pole at her son, she could only sigh in tears, "What a sin!" and left with her husband.
Seeing the two people leave, the patient finally achieved his goal. Regardless of what the neighbors around him thought, he climbed back to the balcony from the flower bed and then returned to his room to pack his luggage.
The call last night was from a high school classmate of his. They were in similar circumstances at the time and were both geniuses in the school. They had a sense of mutual admiration for each other. At the beginning, they both had the same ideal of going to the same university and majoring in the same subject, but he was forced by his parents to change his choice of major, while the other party successfully went to that university. After graduating from university, the other party entered a research institute jointly organized by China and several other countries.
The other party is now facing transfer and is about to go abroad. He saw the video about him when he was bored.
Seeing that his former classmate who had the same aspirations as him had become like this, he felt sorry that his talent was being buried. He asked for his phone number from other friends who were familiar with the patient and extended an invitation to him.
In other words, as long as the patient is willing, the other party will recommend him to the research institute. Based on his ability, after signing the contract, he can follow that classmate to go abroad to concentrate on research.
Of course, although the patient did not get to study that major, he had studied courses on his own. Even when he was in college, he wanted to change his major or get a double degree. Unfortunately, the major his parents enrolled him in was too different from that major, and his university was very strict in this regard. His family had no special connections and he could not get in. In addition, his parents' forced interference forced him to give up.
However, things took a turn for the better, and now he had this opportunity, and host Yu Lanlan reminded him that this was his chance to turn his luck around, so how could he not grab it?
In fact, his threat to jump off the building was just to divert his parents' attention. His real purpose was to sign a contract with the institute and get a visa to go abroad.
After this incident, his parents would probably ignore him for a long time. By the time they realized what was happening, he had already gone abroad.
in the country, he would be restricted by his parents, but once he went abroad, they would not be able to control him even if they wanted to.
At that time, if his parents can come to terms with it, he can come back to visit them occasionally. If not, he can only pay them alimony every month as compensation.
After packing his luggage and taking what he needed, he felt that his psychological burden was almost completely lifted...
-
The next day, the patient went to Yu Lanlan's live broadcast room again.
After just one meeting, Yu Lanlan could tell that he had made up his mind, so she smiled at him.
"It seems your problem has been dealt with."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder."
Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the work at the institute.
Naturally, Yu Lanlan didn't need to say anything more next. This time, even the final test was not needed. The patient only provided the contract signed between himself and the institute, and the counseling was successfully completed.
The audience felt like they didn’t see anything, but Yu Lanlan had already solved the problem, and they could only give 666 in the barrage.
On the other hand, when Yu Lanlan had finished counseling, Yifeng had only received a divination about the patient from the metaphysical master behind him.
"The reason he didn't get his diploma is because something happened at school. It's probably related to his advisor, other students, and the thesis. You should test him first."
After hearing this, Yifeng finally felt a little more at ease. As long as he found out the patient's problem and then made targeted suggestions, the other party's psychological barriers could always be solved.
With this hope in mind, he continued to compliment the patient, and the patient finally started talking again...
The conversation between the two today was much more successful than the day before. At least the patient finally smiled again.
Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief and began to gradually turn the topic back to school matters.
When the school atmosphere was mentioned, the patient's eyes finally showed struggle.
Yifeng sensed a breakthrough and immediately pressed the case. He finally learned from the patient that he had unknowingly offended his tutor at school, so the tutor often made things difficult for him. There was even one time when he spent a lot of time writing a paper, but the tutor attributed the credit to other students who had a good relationship with the tutor. He could no longer tolerate such behavior, so he had a quarrel with the other party, but was threatened by the tutor that he would not be able to graduate.
He knew very well that he could not shake the instructor who had the final say in the school, so in anger, he dropped out of school.
Because he was targeted by his tutor and classmates, he developed a fear of interpersonal relationships. So after returning home from school, he never went out and was afraid to be with other strangers, let alone find a job.
Finally hearing the patient open up, Yifeng felt an unprecedented sense of relief. He comforted the patient a lot, but unfortunately, in the most crucial interpersonal communication, he was still unable to build a healthy mentality for the other party.
So, things had to be delayed again.
Fortunately, successfully finding the key point is also a kind of progress, which makes Yifeng feel that victory is in sight.
Finally, after he sent the patient away and closed the live broadcast room, even when he heard Li Zaiming say that Yu Lanlan had successfully passed the test, he only felt a moment of jealousy.
But just when he thought he could at least tie with Yu Lanlan this time, another bombshell news came crashing down.
-
As soon as he returned to the apartment, Yifeng received a call from Li Zaiming.
"Afeng, things are not going well."
"What's wrong?"
"The platform just released an official announcement, saying that a livestreaming village event will be held in three days. Interested and qualified streamers can start signing up. The registration deadline is the day before the event."
"This livestreaming village event is related to the recommended positions and resources that streamers from various regions will receive on the platform. If you make it to the end, you will not only become a big streamer, but also receive a lot of endorsement and display opportunities."
"However, this event requires all participating anchors to cut off contact with the outside world and conduct a closed live broadcast, so..."
"So what?" Yifeng already had a bad feeling.
"Therefore, streamers cannot register before their current competition, event, etc. has finished, or if they are unable to attend..."
And Yifeng is currently participating in the live broadcast of the competition.
In other words, if he wants to sign up for this live village event, he must finish the competition.
But now he still has an eighth-level patient to deal with, and in two days... he may not be able to solve the other person's problem at all!
And he only has two choices.
1. Give up this live village event.
Second, he had to successfully provide psychological counseling to the patient within two days, or he could simply admit defeat and end this competition...
"Afeng, look at this..." Li Zaiming did not expect such a turn of events. He was very conflicted, so he gave all the choices to Yifeng himself.
"Give up this activity..."
Li Zaiming was feeling anxious, but Yifeng's next words made him feel relieved.
"That's absolutely impossible!" That was an activity that could leap one into a whole new level, how could he possibly give it up?!
Li Zaiming: "Then you can only finish the competition within these two days."
In other words, no matter what choice Yifeng made, he was bound to lose in this ring match, because the gap between him and Yu Lanlan was too big, whether it was 1 to 8 or 0 to 8.
The only difference is that if it is the latter, his defeat would be too embarrassing, but if he can successfully treat the patient in this eighth level, at least he will not lose completely.
But with only two days left, can he really cure the patient successfully?
Yifeng just felt as if he had fallen into a situation that he shouldn't have reached, but he didn't know why it turned out like this. But one thing was certain, it was definitely related to Yu Lanlan!
He still maintained an intuition that Yu Lanlan should be stepped under his feet, rather than being in a position higher than him!
But why did it become like this?!
-
Yu Lanlan also soon received a reminder from Sister Hua about the live broadcast village activities.
Compared with Li Zaiming, Sister Hua is truly proud of herself.
"I'm dying of laughter. This Yifeng is so out of touch with time. Didn't he originally want to use you, Lanlan, as a stepping stone? But now he's been bitten back, right?"
"He was so arrogant back then, righteously declaring war on you on behalf of Western psychology. And now he hasn't even won a single round. But then again, he seems to be making decent progress on his eighth round of patients, but with only two days left before registration for the Live Village closes. Lanlan, do you think he'll just give up or continue treating patients?"
Yu Lanlan just smiled meaningfully and said nothing.
Sister Hua already knew her habits. This expression meant that she didn't care much about the matter, so she moved on to another direction.
"But Yifeng's behavior was a bit strange this time... Many viewers noticed his anomaly. On the first day, he inexplicably asked the patient to sit in a different direction, as if there was some meaning..."
"Also, he intentionally or unintentionally obtained the patient's birth date..."
The more Sister Hua thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. "He wouldn't really be like some viewers have speculated, hiring a metaphysical expert as an outside helper, right?"
She quickly looked at Yu Lanlan, but saw that she was smiling without saying anything.
"Holy crap! Really?! That's too shameless!!"
