Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!-Chapter 358 - 355: Is This Normal?

"Mr. Nan, how are you doing now?"

Since Nan Zhubin’s hand was inconvenient to move, and Teacher Xiao Zhao’s call was probably not private.

Nan Zhubin simply asked Chonghui to put it on speakerphone.

Upon hearing the female teacher’s concern from the phone, Lu Jia pressed her lips, furrowing her brow, while Weng Pinting curled her lips and raised an eyebrow.

"It’s okay, just a dislocation. It’s already checked, I don’t need to be hospitalized." Nan Zhubin replied indifferently.

Doctor Chen looked up at Nan Zhubin.

Out of professional duty, he corrected, "Actually, it’s best to be hospitalized for observation."

On the other end of the line, Teacher Xiao Zhao seemed about to cheer but was blocked by Doctor Chen’s words, leaving her unsure of how to react for a moment.

Nan Zhubin smiled at Doctor Chen and continued speaking to the person on the phone, "Xu Pengcheng is fine too, just quite malnourished, might need a few IV bags for observation..."

"That’s good." Teacher Xiao Zhao deliberately waited three seconds, and once she didn’t hear any additional comments from Doctor Chen, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon after, Teacher Xiao Zhao’s voice became halting.

"Uh... Mr. Nan, aside from asking about your injury, there’s actually another situation I have here, and I’m unsure of what to do, so I wanted to talk to you about it..."

"Hmm?" Nan Zhubin raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"It’s like this..."

The young teacher’s voice came through the phone, and as she spoke, the expressions of those present gradually changed.

"Okay, I got it, I’ll hang up first." Nan Zhubin said.

Then he closed his eyes, breathing out a long sigh.

He tried to slowly move his arm.

Palm, forearm, upper arm, shoulder... oof, pain pain pain.

It hurt, but he could barely move.

"I want to be discharged, return to school." Nan Zhubin said to Weng Pinting and the others.

...

Earlier today——

Jiang Yizhong, classroom.

The incident occurred at noon, while many students were in their dormitories for lunch break, completely unaware of what had happened.

In fact, let alone the students in the dormitories, even those doing noon self-study in the teaching building didn’t know the specifics of the incident.

That didn’t stop them from discussing.

Or rather, it was precisely why they began discussing.

The dull high school life had a rare seasoning, albeit a thrilling bloody hue, but the danger was unrelated to them.

What remained seemed only to be excitement.

"Hey, did you hear? Someone jumped off today!"

"The one at noon? I heard it too, I heard they fell..."

"How careless to fall? They jumped!" The person who said this was adamant.

In the classroom, the rustling sounds were like the ceaseless buzzing of mosquitoes on a summer night, persistently drilling into one’s ears no matter how one tried to shoo them away.

"I heard someone caught them, they didn’t die, it was the very handsome male teacher who recently came to the school."

"I heard it was that very strong male teacher who caught them?"

"Maybe it was together... but can someone really catch a jumper? Captain America! So impressive?"

"I heard they all went to the hospital, so maybe they weren’t caught..."

Nan Zhubin and the others unsurprisingly appeared in the story.

"Do you know... who jumped?"

"Who?"

"Xu Pengcheng from Class 8!"

"Who?" freēnovelkiss.com

"You know... the smart guy! The one who’s chased around the playground every day!"

At this point, the student’s voice became very quiet, glancing in a secretive manner towards the corner of the classroom, as if cautious about something.

"Oh oh oh, him." They didn’t know who it was upon hearing the name, but immediately understood upon hearing the description.

"Why do you think he jumped? Clearly..."

Their voices quickly diminished.

Not far from these discussing students.

Li Mingchen and Lin Junkai sat together at the same desk.

Though physically close, there seemed to be a thick barrier between them, entirely cutting off interaction.

Li Mingchen tightly clutched his left hand wrapped in thick gauze, seemingly immune to the pain.

His eyes at this moment seemed to write four words——

Panic-stricken.

"Mingchen."

Next to him, Lin Junkai seemed to finally understand something and suddenly spoke up.

The barrier between them was also shattered.

"What’s up?"

Li Mingchen turned his head to look at his desk mate. If Nan Zhubin were sitting here, he would see the clear [Fear] on Li Mingchen’s face.

Within that fear also lay a plea, seeming to desperately pray that the person beside him would not bring up a certain topic.

"I have a question." Lin Junkai said.

Compared to Li Mingchen, Lin Junkai seemed much calmer.

"...What question?"

"Today I read a lot of news on my phone." Lin Junkai didn’t ask directly, but pivoted to cushioning it.

This cushion made Li Mingchen look at him sideways. You good student secretly have a phone?

Oh no, good students are supposed to have phones.

"What did you read?"

"Some news about students jumping off because of excessive study pressure." Lin Junkai replied.

Li Mingchen quickly lowered his voice, "You... what do you mean? Dà... Pengcheng’s situation you know, he’s not."

Lin Junkai shook his head, "What I mean is, those students in the news would rather jump than take a break."

This sentence left Li Mingchen dumbfounded.

Lin Junkai continued, "I told you before, right? I have a brother. He took the college entrance exam three years ago, at that time my parents... their relationship was already bad, but for my brother they still lived together, pretending to get along when he came home every two weeks."

"They forcibly dragged until after the college entrance exam to divorce. I spent a lot of time at home then, the atmosphere..."

The person saying this seemed to need comfort at this time.

But Li Mingchen looked at Lin Junkai, feeling like his focus wasn’t on this.

"Now my parents are separated, I stay with my mom. Now, my mom can’t lift her head around her relatives, she just hopes I can get into the police academy and make her proud."

Lin Junkai suddenly turned, looking at Li Mingchen, "What’s the situation with your family now, I heard you say before you’re staying with your mom too?"

Li Mingchen fell silent for a moment.

Then slowly said, "My parents’ relationship is still good, should be good... but my dad is working away to afford this school district house. When I started senior year, my mom specifically quit her job to be with me..."

Lin Junkai slowly nodded, "We should be able to somewhat understand each other. Anyway, I’ve never told anyone else this before—I thought about jumping off."

The final five words were heavy, but Lin Junkai said them lightly.

"I thought about jumping off, but then I thought if I died, my mom would be all alone, so I didn’t jump. But the issue isn’t here, the issue is—I actually for the college entrance exam, for studying, considered ’jumping’ that might leave my mom all alone, you understand what I mean?"

Li Mingchen pursed his lips, extending his unbandaged right hand to pat Lin Junkai’s shoulder.

"Honestly, I’ve thought about it too." Li Mingchen said.

Lin Junkai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief but then quickly became nervous again.

"Yes, for the college entrance exam, we’ve both thought about jumping."

Li Mingchen comforted, "It seems so. This...is normal, everyone has moments of breakdown."

"But... if for our college entrance exam, someone else jumps off?"

Lin Junkai suddenly turned, staring straight into Li Mingchen’s eyes, "Is that normal too?"
