Qin Yue dried herself off, got dressed, and left the hot spring, returning to her room to rest for a while.
She needed to cool down from the lingering sensations of just now.
As for why she left early, on one hand, it was because she felt it was best to stop while she was ahead; she had already gained a lot, and if she continued, it might end up with her lying down, which wouldn't be good.
After all, this was her hometown, with relatives and friends around; she couldn't just lie in her bedroom for two days because she couldn't get up.
On the other hand, it was because her friend Xiao Chen, Dr. Chen, had sent a rather puzzling message earlier in the morning:
[Xiao Chen]: Qin Yue, I'll be there in the afternoon, make sure to wait for me, don't act impulsively!
Such a vague and confusing message.
However, since her friend had traveled a long way, she needed to be properly entertained. After waiting in her room for half an hour, Dr. Chen arrived, and they met in the backyard.
In the yard, there was a familiar stone table, and when Dr. Chen saw it, she couldn't help but feel a little psychological shadow. The last time she was almost broken by Bai Ningning was at this very stone table.
"Why choose this place... never mind, whatever, I'll have a drink first."
Dr. Chen gulped down water as if her throat was on fire.
Qin Yue sat down, curious, "Did you run all the way here?"
"Sort of, I rushed over," Dr. Chen put down her cup, panting, "I came as fast as I could."
"Why did you run so fast?" Qin Yue frowned, "I'm going to be at home for several days, it's not like I'm going anywhere."
"Isn't it because I'm worried about you? I'm afraid something might happen," Dr. Chen looked around and lowered her voice, "I've heard about it."
"Heard about what?"
"About that video, the thing with Bai Ningning."
Dr. Chen's voice became even softer: "I was worried you might not be able to handle it, so as soon as I got the news, I rushed over here."
Qin Yue was slightly taken aback: "Is that what this is about?"
"Yes, I've heard that someone is causing trouble, and your family knows about it."
When Dr. Chen first learned about this in the morning, her first reaction was disbelief because it was just too outrageous. Then, after carefully looking into the video and trending topics, she was shocked to find out it was true.
Bai Ningning really did it!
Goodness, Dr. Chen recalled the hypothetical proposition she had mentioned during treatment. She never expected that just a few weeks later, the hypothetical would become reality.
She immediately felt unwell, her mind simulated several possible psychological changes in Qin Yue, each more frightening than the last; even a yandere seemed mild in comparison. So, she didn't dare to delay and hurried over to provide psychological counseling to Qin Yue.
Dr. Chen lowered her voice: "I came to tell you, don't panic, don't be anxious, always remember to stay calm, and maintain a good mindset…"
"I think you misunderstood; I'm not panicking," Qin Yue crossed her long legs and leaned back in her chair leisurely, "And this matter is already in the past."
"Past… in the past?" Dr. Chen was taken aback, "How did it pass?"
"I knew about this a day earlier; I didn't just find out today," Qin Yue took a sip from her cup, "I remember telling you what I would do during our last consultation."
She drank some more water to dilute the taste of strawberry milk in her mouth, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing if someone noticed.
Dr. Chen thought carefully for a moment, and her eyelids began to twitch.
She remembered the solution Qin Yue mentioned during their last consultation— 'Deal with her, make her too weak to get up and look for other girls.'
"Well," Dr. Chen asked quietly, "What was the result?"
Did it succeed?
"Failed," Qin Yue replied flatly, "I underestimated her."
Even though they had brought out all the energy, both of them managed to get up at the same time that night, with almost the same recovery time.
Maybe that's what it's like to be a water dragon soul in resurrection armor.
Dr. Chen was shocked: "Since it failed, how do you… feel about it now?"
"I think it's pretty good," Qin Yue switched legs, "She also admitted her mistake."
"She… admitted her mistake?"
With Bai Ningning's little mouth, could she really admit her mistake?
"She didn't admit it verbally, but her actions showed it," Qin Yue recalled what had happened in the hot spring earlier, feeling pleased, "And she performed very well."
Dr. Chen observed closely and found that her friend indeed displayed a completely unexpected reaction.
She couldn't help but be curious: "What did Bai Ningning do that made you so satisfied?"
Qin Yue smiled slightly and uttered a four-character idiom: "Pushing the waves and assisting the current."
Huh?
"What are you talking about…"
"Just pushing the waves and assisting the current; think about it more, break down the words," Qin Yue prompted.
Dr. Chen really thought about it carefully; she started from the back, pondering the meaning of "Assisting the current."
Hmm, "current" refers to waves, implying water waves and splashes. Assisting the current means…
The first two characters are easy to understand. Putting the four characters together means…
"What's up!" Dr. Chen couldn't help but curse.
On one hand, it was because she was shocked.
On the other hand, it was inexplicably strange to have a bite of dog food, and it was particularly enticing.
Running all the way from afar just to have a bite of dog food, even a psychologist known for their mental resilience felt a bit complicated.
"Alright," Dr. Chen sighed, "So how did you feel at that moment?"
Eating dog food aside, the psychological consultation still had to continue.
Qin Yue smiled slightly and listed a series of dish names: "Steamed buns, rice cakes, strawberry milk ice cream balls."
......
The rice cakes are made from white flour, soft and white, fragrant and glutinous, a delicacy with an excellent texture.
Two hot spring rice cakes were pressed together.
"Si Youxue, shall we talk about work?"
Si Youxue's body tensed up in an instant.
Actually, she had a great figure, just a flat chest; everything else was fine, a standard slender beauty.
But sometimes, the size of a pillow becomes a breakthrough for a girl. Just like now, when the aircraft carrier is pressing down, Si Youxue's flat deck has no way to resist.
While others in naval battles suffer from being hit on the side, she, Si Youxue, is at a disadvantage because her hull is upright and taking hits head-on—because the deck is at the front!
"Secretary Bai," Si Youxue's ears quietly turned a bit red, "Please don't be so close."
Can we talk properly? Is this how you discuss work!
Bai Ningning tilted her head: "Do we need to use work titles in private settings? Then why didn't you call Qin Zong just now?"
"I... Bai Ningning," Si Youxue bit her lip and repeated what she just said, "Please don't be so close!"
However, Bai Ningning did not let go; instead, she blinked and said, "Don't you understand the principle of sound transmission attenuation?"
"…What?"
"I mean, if we stay this close, we can speak softly, and only the two of us can hear it," Bai Ningning turned her head and gestured to another girl nearby, "But if we move away, we have to speak loudly, and the secret will be overheard by others."
