“Teacher Shen… Teacher Shen?” His smile was more grotesque than a grimace.
“Would you mind letting go of me first? I’m finding it a little hard to breathe.”
“Oh, is that so? Then perhaps you could tell me why you know so many intimate details about your friend?”
Her breath brushed against Pei Xingyan’s ear, a wave of heat washing over him repeatedly.
They were impossibly close, perhaps not even ten centimeters apart.
Pei Xingyan dared not move, fearing that any sudden motion would press him against her.
While, strictly speaking, she wasn’t truly his teacher, her position alone was enough to make him wary; he had no desire to earn a bad reputation, let alone face severe consequences.
“I-I’m simply a rather refined and easygoing person,” he stammered.
“My friends just tend to confide in me… Sharing a few private details isn’t all that uncommon, is it?”
“Could it not be,” she countered, “that the ‘friend’ you’re speaking of is, in fact, you?”
“No, it’s really not.” Pei Xingyan adamantly denied it, shaking his head with desperation.
The movement of his head intensified the air currents around them, and he found himself completely enveloped by Shen Zhishu’s scent.
Suddenly, a particular fragrance drifted into Pei Xingyan’s nostrils, filling his mind.
Strangely, he felt a faint familiarity with the scent, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.
It was a subtle sense of déjà vu, like arriving at an unfamiliar place only for his mind to suddenly believe he had been there before.
Now, too, he felt he had smelled this aroma, and his heart pounded with an inexplicable surge of emotion.
But when was it? Where exactly?
He couldn’t recall.
Pei Xingyan was confident he had never forgotten any important person or event, yet regarding Shen Zhishu… he had absolutely no impression of her whatsoever.
“Um… perhaps we should continue discussing the patient?” Teacher Li across from them stammered, finding it difficult to meet their eyes as he observed the two of them, who were practically touching.
“Very well, let’s continue then~” Shen Zhishu shrugged, returning to her seat.
However, she no longer paid any attention to the documents on her desk, instead gazing at Pei Xingyan with a rapt, almost distant, expression.
“You and Teacher Shen seem quite close… are you siblings?” Teacher Li chuckled awkwardly, quickly picking up the previous topic.
“Borderline Personality Disorder is relatively common, at least more so than Dissociative Identity Disorder.
As you described, sometimes being very gentle, and other times uncontrollably furious, can indeed be considered a positive indicator for diagnosis.”
“Hmm…” Pei Xingyan fell silent for a moment.
If judged solely by outward behavior, that was certainly true…
Yet, at that time, he had distinctly sensed another soul, one entirely at odds with Su Sansan.
He then inquired, “What about Dissociative Identity Disorder? Are there any definitive diagnostic criteria for that condition?”
Teacher Li stroked his chin, then regretfully shook his head.
“I can’t tell you precisely about that, as such cases are extremely rare; I, at least, have never encountered one.
However, if you need to, you’re welcome to visit our affiliated hospital at the university; I work there.”
As he spoke, he pulled a business card from his pocket.
In this era, anyone still using paper business cards was undeniably old-fashioned.
It bore Teacher Li’s name and his position, with the words “Chief Physician” printed beside his name—a title equivalent to a professor.
Pei Xingyan quickly accepted the small card, expressing his gratitude profusely.
The university’s affiliated hospital was renowned, often making it difficult to secure an appointment.
Specialist consultations could sometimes be scalped for thousands of yuan, so even a superficial connection could offer immense convenience.
While human relationships often hinge on mutual benefit, they must first be established on acquaintance.
He considered himself quite fortunate.
Prior to this, Pei Xingyan had genuinely not realized that Teacher Li was an expert at the affiliated hospital.
Even more surprising was that a simple request could prompt Shen Zhishu to bring in such a prominent doctor.
Pei Xingyan furtively glanced sideways, only to meet the unblinking gaze of Shen Zhishu, who was staring intently at him.
Her eyes held a hint of terror, scrutinizing him as if he were a criminal.
Pei Xingyan couldn’t fathom why she cared so much about whether he had a girlfriend, especially since universities typically didn’t concern themselves with such matters…
“Well then, perhaps we should conclude here for now…” Teacher Li rose, greeting them as he prepared to leave.
“When you bring your… uh, your friend’s girlfriend, we can discuss it in more detail.
I have another engagement, so I’ll be taking my leave.”
Shen Zhishu offered a brief wave of farewell, neither attempting to persuade him to stay nor rising to see him out.
She remained fixated on Pei Xingyan.
“Teacher… aren’t you going to see him off?” Pei Xingyan wanted to point out how impolite that was, but he hesitated, unsure of the customs within academic circles.
What if Shen Zhishu was such an esteemed figure, a “senior grandmaster,” that etiquette dictated she shouldn’t personally escort guests out?
He merely hinted at it subtly, then said nothing further.
Yet Shen Zhishu seemed entirely unconcerned; she continued to stare at him, as if trying to flay pieces of flesh from him with her gaze.
Feeling a prickle of unease under her intense scrutiny, he too prepared to make a “busy escape.”
“Well, Teacher… thank you so much, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now—” He strode briskly towards the door.
“Stop.”
Shen Zhishu’s soft command, though spoken quietly, carried the weight of a thousand pounds, freezing Pei Xingyan in his tracks.
He turned his head awkwardly, forcing out an unnatural smile.
“Is there anything else?”
Only then did Shen Zhishu rise, slowly making her way to his side.
Raising an eyebrow, she asked, “You’ve said ‘thank you,’ so how do you plan to show your gratitude? Inviting such a psychiatric expert wasn’t easy; I had to pull several strings.”
She sounded as if she were seeking praise, meticulously listing her efforts.
Pei Xingyan was utterly bewildered.
‘Who asks for a reward on the spot?’ he thought to himself.
Yet he couldn’t very well refuse; she had indeed helped him.
He could only offer a sheepish suggestion, “How about I treat you to a bubble tea?”
Pei Xingyan couldn’t think of any other way; other options were either too expensive or too intimate.
But treating someone to bubble tea…
Honestly, it might not even be enough to humor a naive young girl.
He didn’t believe such an important figure would—
“Wonderful~” Shen Zhishu nodded enthusiastically, taking the lead.
“Let’s go right away then~”
Pei Xingyan’s eyelids twitched.
He could only conclude that this woman must be an ardent bubble tea enthusiast…
“Where should we go?” Shen Zhishu’s tone softened considerably, and her eyes grew gentler.
She seemed eager, rubbing her hands together as she repeatedly asked, “Where to?”
How would Pei Xingyan know where to find good bubble tea?
He never drank the stuff; a single expensive bubble tea cost more than his entire day’s food budget.
Aside from Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, he honestly didn’t know the name of a single other bubble tea brand.
However, a sudden thought sparked in his mind, recalling a casual conversation he’d had with Lin Xiaoyu.
She had mentioned a bubble tea shop in the mall across from the school that was supposedly excellent.
After a brief moment of thought, he led the woman beside him out of the university campus.
