Nan Zhubin squinted.

This feeling again... has gone astray?

Is the atmosphere ambiguous once more?

The visitor said, "Because... because before, I was also someone who was very anxious about gains and losses. I feel she's my best friend, my confidante; but I don't know what my position is in her heart. After all, she is such an outstanding person, maybe she has many good friends around her?"

"But now, I know."

The visitor took a deep breath, "She's usually so outstanding, such a shining person, I never expected her to have such a side. And you know what, teacher, when she talked about her family situation, her whole being had a kind of... broken feeling! Although she seemed less dazzling, I felt even more attracted to her!"

Your eyes are sparkling now, young lady.

The visitor looked at Nan Zhubin with shining eyes, just like a little dragon with golden pupils.

However, as her chest rose and fell intensely with each breath, her eyes dimmed gradually until they returned to normal.

Seeing the other person's lips hesitate a few times, wanting to speak but holding back, Nan Zhubin understood the visitor's statement was finished.

Next comes the so-called "problem that needs help", but it seems now the visitor finds it a bit hard to articulate her own issue.

Nan Zhubin didn't directly ask "what problem do you have", but gently phrased it in a softer manner.

"It sounds like what you just mentioned is generally positive for you. But in the end, it still brought up some points that bother you?"

With a little push, the visitor quickly nodded.

The visitor said, "Yes, teacher... although what my confidante said to me made me feel good, I've also developed some... thoughts that are quite troubling to me."

Nan Zhubin looked at the visitor, offering physical [Positive Attention] through his gaze.

"It's just, first of all... teacher, I've mentioned before... I haven't had a boyfriend for years... so I feel that my feelings for her are uncertain..."

The rest of the visitor's words trailed off.

But to Nan Zhubin, it was as good as saying everything.

"And my confidante hasn't found a partner for years either, I'm wondering... could she be the same as me? But I'm not sure..."

The visitor's eyes lit up again, shining like a flashlight toward Nan Zhubin, "So teacher, can you help me analyze what might be going on with my confidante?"

Oh, seeking affirmation, looking to gain strength from the consultant.

Nan Zhubin's expression remained unchanged, and he changed the topic, "You mentioned 'first', are there other issues?"

The visitor didn't cling to the first issue endlessly, "Yes, and... my thoughts appeared after my confidante shared her inner thoughts with me. But under such circumstances, developing new thoughts makes me feel... like I'm taking advantage of her vulnerability or exploiting her sincerity..."

Hmm, anxiety about gains and losses.

This is still considered normal... if the context in which the issue arose is disregarded.

"Then, there's another issue..."

At this point, the visitor glanced at Nan Zhubin, "I have been hesitant about whether to say certain things to her. But as my hesitation drags on, I feel... my thoughts have also changed a bit."

"Because... she has always been very impressive, even somewhat worship-worthy. But after she shared those life-related thoughts with me, I feel she seems a bit less impressive, somehow... she no longer seems as worship-worthy."

The visitor's logic was a bit disorganized, but Nan Zhubin could still taste the meaning within.

"Thus, now, I don't know what my own thoughts are exactly, I sense many directions extending into different ideas..."

The visitor looked at Nan Zhubin with anticipation, "Teacher, I want to hear how you see it?"

Nan Zhubin suddenly pulled out the psychological test report the visitor had handed over at the beginning.

After taking a careful look, he rubbed his forehead.

…

With a slight creak, Nan Zhubin returned to his workstation and breathed out gently.

This consultation was a bit draining, but Nan Zhubin didn't plan on directly responding with [Emotion Rebalancing].

Overall, this consumption was still within his tolerance. Continuing to work in this state was, in a way, training for his qualities as a consultant.

After a while, when Mo Kai finished talking to the visitor and returned, Nan Zhubin gestured to his assistant.

"Did he renew the package?"

"No," Mo Kai shook his head.

"Okay," Nan Zhubin nodded in understanding, "Don't follow too closely. If she has the intention to renew a package, don't push a long-term package either."

The implication being, this visitor is not someone who requires long-term consultation.

Mo Kai had long been accustomed to Nan Zhubin's attitude of being wealthy but not too eager to earn money.

Anyway, Mo Kai himself wasn't the type eager to earn money; conversely, this method of offering different suggestions to different visitors, based on their circumstances, gave him real satisfaction in working in a specific field, a real sense of being a "psychological consultation assistant."

"Understood, senior," Mo Kai said, glancing at today's schedule, "After this visitor finishes, we have two more visitors today...the next visitor should be arriving soon."
