As Xu Ling'er said, Professor Robert was indeed renowned in psychology, and the butler, having some knowledge of the subject since the Qin family had Qin Xi, became even more respectful upon hearing this.
The butler quickly bowed his head and ushered Xu Ling'er inside: "Dr. Xu, please come in first, I will take you to see the young master right away."
Xu Ling'er's suitcase was kept by the servants, while she followed the housekeeper to the reception room, where Qin Yue had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Xu Ling'er, he immediately stood up and hurried forward: "Dr. Xu, I've long admired your name, and it's great to finally meet you today."
As Qin Yue spoke, he winked at the butler, who understood and quietly left the reception room, closing the door behind him.
Xu Ling'er, with the pride of a scholar, did not take Qin Yue, a wealthy man, seriously. After nodding politely, she sat down and said, "Young Master Qin, I'm here to see the patient you mentioned."
"It's like this, Dr. Xu. My younger brother, Qin Xi, is a patient with bipolar disorder, but he has been refusing treatment until recently when a psychologist was able to stay and take care of him."
"But that Dr. Ruan isn't very capable, which is why I asked you to help. Only you can cure my brother's illness."
Honestly, these words are quite comforting no matter how you look at them.
Xu Ling'er came to the Qin family villa this time because her teacher, Professor Robert, hoped that she could grow and develop, so she had to stay no matter what.
Qin Yue continued, "Dr. Xu, I feel that my brother's condition is getting worse recently. He has a severe tendency to self-harm, and I often see him abusing himself."
"In patients with bipolar disorder, depression and mania are phased. Could it be that it has recently relapsed, or has it changed significantly from before?"
Upon hearing Xu Ling'er's question, Qin Yue couldn't help but think of Qin Xi's behavior during this period. He was actually protecting Ruan Qing'an, wasn't that unusual enough?
Without hesitation, Qin Yue replied, "His condition is very strange, extremely strange."
Since it was said by her family, Xu Ling'er believed it to be somewhat credible. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I understand."
"By the way, Dr. Xu, this is information about my younger brother, Qin Xi. I hope you can take a good look at it and understand his condition."
Qin Yue handed over a file bag, which was much more comprehensive than the one the butler had given Ruan Qing'an before, but most of the records inside were actually from Ruan Qing'an, an outsider.
Xu Ling'er nodded, watching and listening to Qin Yue speak.
“Dr. Xu, my brother has been ill for many years, and our family is very worried. We hope you can help him make some progress.”
"I've heard that your mentor, Professor Robert, has his own set of treatment theories and enjoys a very high status. I hope you can do everything you can to help Qin Xi. Thank you so much!"
As Qin Yue spoke, he bowed to Xu Ling'er, appearing every inch the good older brother, a sight that moved everyone to tears.
...
Meanwhile, in Qin Xi's bedroom.
On the carpet, Ruan Qingan and Qin Xi sat cross-legged, intently watching the game console screen, their hands moving rapidly across the controller.
The two characters on the game console screen were evenly matched in their battle—Qin Xi had the maid move the game console into the bedroom, and he often dragged Ruan Qing'an to play games with him.
At least for a 21-year-old, who is still quite young, Qin Xi has finally developed some other hobbies, which is much better than staying cooped up in his room like a machine.
"Damn it, little brother, did you cheat? How did you improve so fast!"
"If you can't beat me, just admit defeat. After all, I've been fighting alongside you for so long, so I should at least win a few fair and square victories against my older sister."
Looking at the big word "Victory" on the screen, Qin Xi couldn't help but smile, her dark dog-like eyes crinkling into a smile.
He looked at Ruan Qing'an with a smug expression, like a large dog wagging its tail and catching a frisbee, with a touch of foolishness, but also very obedient, which made Ruan Qing'an laugh.
Just as the two were talking, the sound of suitcase wheels rolling could be clearly heard, and the faint sounds of servants talking could be heard outside.
037: [Stop playing around, ancestor! The female lead has already appeared.]
Ruan Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then it looks like it's Xu Ling'er."
In the original text, when Qin Xi's illness had become uncontrollable due to the Qin family, Xu Ling'er was invited to treat him.
However, Qin Xi's condition is currently under good control.
Ruan Qing'an didn't have much knowledge of psychology, but she was at least very clear about the human factors that triggered Qin Xi's illness. She turned down most of the work Qin Cheng arranged, and helped Qin Xi with the ones she couldn't refuse.
As for the long-standing problem of insomnia, Qin Cheng forbade the use of any medication, so Ruan Qing'an simply stayed with Qin Xi. For some reason, the little brother actually managed to fall asleep...
After Qin Xi herself began to cooperate with the changes, although the progress was relatively slow, her condition improved steadily, and even her affection level was slowly worn down to 50.
At that moment, Xu Ling'er arrived...
037: [That's your rival in love, Ancestor! We must be on our toes and prepare for the battle! Hehehe!]
Ruan Qing'an simply raised his eyes lazily: "A love rival? I never compete with anyone for love, because I know he will only choose me, so—I won't have a love rival."
037's excitement was greatly diminished, and he suddenly became quite dejected.
God, you really are so easy to take on, especially when referring to this ancestor...
The noise outside also caught Qin Xi's attention. He subconsciously frowned, turned to the side, and clicked on the computer: "It's so noisy, let me check the surveillance footage—"
Before Qin Xi could finish speaking, Ruan Qing'an suddenly draped herself over his back, her jade-like arms wrapping around Qin Xi's neck.
"Don't try to change the subject. Did you cheat secretly?"
"Little brother, I can't beat you in the game, but don't think I'll lose to you in a one-on-one match offline."
Ruan Qing'an even used the same trick she used in the arcade, but Qin Xi really couldn't do anything about her frivolous and unrestrained manner. He stopped his hand speed and didn't even have time to watch the surveillance footage.
Before Ruan Qing'an could continue her arrogance, the next moment—she was pressed down on the soft carpet, and Qin Xi easily grabbed her wrist with one hand and lifted it directly above his head.
Seeing that she still wanted to kick, Qin Xi simply pressed her leg down as well, and for a moment Ruan Qing'an was unable to move.
"Sister, are you trying to cheat? Cheating people will be punished."
"Oh, so how else can the little brother punish his older sister, hmm?"
Ruan Qing'an dared to accept any move and say anything, leaning forward with a smirk.
Qin Xi was slightly stunned, but in just a moment of distraction, she was kicked away by Ruan Qing'an and lay on the soft carpet.
Instead, Ruan Qing'an squatted down next to him and poked his face: "Little brother, you're still too green to compete with your older sister."
"..."
Looking up at Ruan Qing'an's beautiful face, Qin Xi pressed her slightly pointed canine teeth against her lips, her eyes flickered for a moment, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Ruan Qing'an didn't care. He glanced at the surveillance footage and saw that there was no trace of Xu Ling'er's presence. He was relieved that Qin Xi wouldn't discover her presence anytime soon.
037: [Wait, ancestor, why did you help the female lead move into the Qin family?]
"Love should be grand and spectacular, it should overcome all obstacles, it should be unforgettable, that's what makes it worthy of being celebrated, isn't it?"
"You've probably heard of Romeo and Juliet, little system."
Ruan Qingan's smile deepened, and the meaning in his eyes sent a chill down 037's spine.
—What Ruan Qing'an wanted was for Xu Ling'er to step onto this stage that belonged only to her and Qin Xi, bringing their love to a true climax and a perfect ending.
