University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 624: Chapter 484: Mental Illness? That’s Not My Field! (Part 2)

Seeing He Congming, Chen Mu couldn’t help but frown slightly, "You’re here, so where’s the student who you said might look sick?"

Hearing the doubt in Chen Mu’s tone.

He Congming pouted somewhat displeasedly, "Dr. Chen, you’re underestimating me!"

"I’ve got this, He Congming is on the case, what are you worried about!"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Isn’t there a possibility.

That it’s precisely because you, He Congming, are on the case, that we’re actually worried.

He Congming: "When I thought that guy might be sick, I already shouted out on the school’s group, calling for a couple of enthusiastic classmates to come over and help me keep an eye on that guy for now. I came out to meet you, Dr. Chen."

Chen Mu: "Then should I thank you?"

He Congming laughed happily, "Oh, Dr. Chen is being so polite with me, no need to be polite at all! We’re like brothers!"

Chen Mu: "..."

Brothers with you???

Took a deep breath.

Wasn’t very keen on continuing this pointless conversation with the person beside him.

After organizing his thoughts, Chen Mu took the initiative to ask, "I came in a hurry and didn’t have the chance to ask, why do you think that student has a problem?"

He Congming rubbed his chin, "It’s all because of the cafeteria food. Our school cafeteria made garlic and spicy crayfish today, limited supply, everyone is limited to two pounds."

Thinking about the usual tricks of the school cafeteria.

Chen Mu involuntarily swallowed and asked, "How much per pound?"

He Congming: "Nine yuan and ninety cents per portion, one portion is a pound."

Chen Mu, Su Bingbing: "!!!"

Intern doctors at Hai City University of Traditional Medicine: "!!!"

"I don’t care about Crispy College students right now, Dr. Chen, I want to eat crawfish!!!"

"This is really going to make me cry! If I were born on Hai City University, how could I face a situation where I might not afford to eat!"

"Exactly! If I got into Shanghai City University, a thousand yuan in living expenses a month would be enough!"

"I want to eat the nine yuan and ninety cents crawfish too, I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance! Boohoo!!!"

"People from Hai City University come to show off, not only is our school’s crawfish cheap, but they’re big ones, and they’re cleaned very well, with the shrimp line removed! Heehee!"

"I’m not jealous! I’m not jealous! I’m really not jealous at all!!!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu subconsciously followed He Congming’s words and said, "Then today, the school cafeteria must have had a very long queue!"

He Congming gave Chen Mu a thumbs up, "Dr. Chen, your judgment is spot on, some outrageous folks even skipped classes to line up at the cafeteria."

Chen Mu halted.

Turned to look at the photographer next to him, "When you see the line later, please take some clear shots, let the class counselors see if there are any students from their class cutting classes for crawfish."

Following cameraman: "Dr. Chen, I’ll make sure the task is done!"

He Congming started covering his mouth, regretting the slip of his tongue.

Chen Mu, looking at the guy next to him, continued to question, "The student you mentioned who might have a problem, what does this have to do with the school’s crawfish today? He Congming, you haven’t properly explained it to me!"

He Congming drooped his head.

Sighing as he continued, "The thing is, eating crawfish originally needs queuing, but in a big group, there are bound to be some unruly people, even at our Hai City University, we sometimes encounter a few rude ones."

"While I was in line, I ran into a few queue jumpers."

Chen Mu: "Did you have an argument with the queue jumpers?"

He Congming nodded without hesitation and then said, "Of course, we crispy college students may not look for trouble proactively, but we’re never afraid of it!"

"They had the nerve to suddenly jump the line, why couldn’t I argue with them!"

"Moreover, I was hungry too, everyone was in a rush to eat, why should we allow them to cut in line?"

Chen Mu nodded; he didn’t say much special, just continued questioning, "What happened next? After they jumped the line, did anything else happen?"

He Congming: "Actually, although they wanted to cut the line, most people at our school have the same mindset as I do. As soon as they tried to cut, they’d be scolded back."

Chen Mu was amazed: "That kind of thinking is quite admirable."

At least it would lead to fewer disadvantages in society later on.

He Congming mimicked Chen Mu’s earlier pose, pretending to be profound as he rubbed his chin, "But then I noticed a somewhat strange person in the back; someone cut in front of him, yet he didn’t scold that person away, he even stepped back two steps to let them cut in."

Chen Mu spoke, "Maybe, that student just thought, ’the less trouble, the better’?"

He Congming shook his head, continuing, "Originally, I thought the same as you, Dr. Chen, but later I realized something was off."

"When the first one successfully cut the line, those queue-jumping troublemakers acted like they’d found an easy target."

"They all rushed over to that student’s spot to cut, and since they had finally found someone who seemed easier to push around, they really bullied him hard."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement, "That’s excessive."

"The queue was long, but more and more people were in front while those in the back realized something was wrong."

"The students at the back thought they were all in on it, leading to a heated argument; the queue jumpers cursed him, and those who were cut cursed him too. Normally, wouldn’t someone explain in such a situation?"

Chen Mu nodded, "That is indeed..." frёewebηovel.cѳm

If he didn’t explain,

it’s like having a pot of dirty water dumped on him for no reason.

The person He Congming mentioned.

Was just a poor victim of the queue-cutting.

No need to be the scapegoat for others.

He Congming frowned, continuing, "But that guy just silently walked away amidst the cursing."

Chen Mu: "Maybe that’s just his personality?"

He Congming continued shaking his head, "No, by chance, in a rant chat group, I saw someone claiming to be a classmate of his, who was also wondering why his temper suddenly got better."

Chen Mu seized on the keyword, "Suddenly?"

He Congming nodded, "Yes, suddenly, about a week ago, this student who was cut in line was a hothead, the kind who would curse out the other person’s ancestors in such a situation."

"Allegedly, it was one day last week when he returned from off-campus and suddenly became depressed."

"From that day on, he didn’t interact with anyone in the class or dorm, and hasn’t spoken a single word to anyone."

"Most importantly, Dr. Chen, I saw a fierce look in his eyes when he turned around!"

"This indicates that he’s actually angry about what happened!"

"This guy might have some psychological issues."

Standing at the cafeteria’s entrance, Chen Mu paused.

Looking at He Congming’s expression, he became rather speechless.

Pointing to his nose, he looked at He Congming incredulously and asked, "No, you suspect he’s got psychological issues, and you ask a campus doctor like me to treat him?"

Seeing He Congming nod confidently.

Chen Mu almost choked.

He continued questioning, "You think a campus doctor like me can solve psychological issues? I’m a campus doctor, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but I’m not a psychologist!"

"If you suspect he has psychological issues, you could consult a psychologist!"

"Or perhaps report it to the school’s teachers, why look for me?"

Facing a clearly exasperated Chen Mu.

He Congming himself remained confident.

He continued, "Normally, campus health offices should be equipped with psychologists, but we only have you, Dr. Chen, so I think you could somewhat act as a psychologist."

Chen Mu frowned, "But I’m not specialized in that. I can go with you to check it out, and if he indeed has psychological problems, he might need to contact his parents to find a more professional psychologist..."

He Congming gasped, "But Dr. Chen, I think this guy has more than just psychological issues. Something might be wrong with here too..."
