The psychology club was prepared for real work only after several seminars and a professor sitting in to give a personal lesson to guide the members of the club.

Counselling for the students.

The first year students followed the students and were responsible for listening, watching, learning and playing.

Tan Mo is indeed not very happy.

Qiao Lan easily spotted Tan Mo's displeasure.

Since she had forbidden Tan Mo to lie to her anymore, Tan Mo would usually show her face when she was in the mood and would not hide anything from her.

Qiao Lan is also in a bit of a bind.

She remembered that she had originally signed up for the club because it would be helpful in learning her subject, and it did prove to be helpful, with the professor giving them a special lecture two days ago.

But if you think about the reason for studying psychology in the first place, it is clear that there is only one, and that is Tan Mo.

So, whether it was enrolling in psychology or joining the club, it was all for Tan Mo. Now Tan Mo is unhappy for the club, and Qiao Lan could choose between the club and Tan Mo without even thinking about it.

If Tan Mo doesn't like it, then it's not a bad idea to give up.

But lately, ...... might not be a good idea. The club has been quite busy lately and it would be irresponsible to suddenly leave like this.

Looking at Tan Mo, who had become silent again because she was busy, Qiao Lan touched Tan Mo's earlobe and said, "I'll go and ask the president to quit the club after I'm done with it, and I'll be with you every day after that."

Tan Mo's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you", Qiao Lan smiled, "I'll leave you to it."

Tan Mo couldn't resist giving her a kiss, "I'll come and pick you up tonight then."

Qiao Lan smiled and waved his hand, saying hello.

When we arrived at the club, we saw Luo Man running after Ji Su again, greeting her as she entered and then following Ji Su.

People were interested at first as if they were watching a show, but it's been almost two months since we've been chasing them, so they've become uncomfortable.

Once everyone had arrived, the day's tasks were distributed, with the seniors leading the younger students, who would naturally call them when they were ready.

Qiao Lan looked up, stunned, but Ji Su was calm, "Today you're following me and Pei Beijia."

"Oh, good," Qiao Lan said, glancing at her sister who was standing next to Ji Su and smiling at her, and returning her smile.

She was indeed "suspicious" of Ji Su because of Tan Mo, but it was true that these days' had been rotating and they, the new students, had been in contact with every senior, and today it happened to be Ji Su, not to mention another senior.

After packing up and waiting for Ji Su to finish arranging the work, they followed Ji Su and Pei Beijia out the door.

Qiao Lan followed Pei Beijia and listened to Ji Su and Pei Beijia talking about something quite professional, Qiao Lan listened very carefully.

Qiao Lan frowned, said nothing after all and sat down in the other chair next to the table and looked at the time.

19:17.

Ji Su flipped through the roster in her hands and asked her, as if casually, "What's the matter, is it urgent?"

"No," Qiao Lan put the phone away, "Senior, when will the students who came to consult arrive."

"The appointment is at seven thirty, ten minutes to go."

Qiao Lan nodded and said nothing more, but unconsciously moved his chair slightly further away.

Ji Su paused with the pen in her hand, tapped her fingertips twice on the paper, looked up at Qiao Lan and suddenly said, "I don't know if it's just me, but I think you're rejecting me a little."

Hmm?

Qiao Lan really didn't expect Ji Su to be so sharp, let alone so direct in his question.

After a moment of surprise, Qiao Lan smiled slightly, "I don't think too much, I don't reject you, after all, we don't communicate much", Qiao Lan said, looking as normal.

"So it looks like I'm feeling wrong?"

"That's not true," Qiao Lan shakes his head, "probably because I deliberately stay away from anything of the opposite sex."

Ji Su nodded with interest, "Your boyfriend doesn't like it?"

"...there are reasons for that," Qiao Lan said, "but I feel that since I have a boyfriend, it's the right thing to do as a significant other to stay away from other people of the opposite sex."

It's just a relationship and you're already calling each other by your other half? Ji Su is a little upset, but he continues to smile and discuss the issue with Qiao Lan.

"Maybe we have slightly different views, I don't think you have to completely eschew friends of the opposite sex even if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, even the other half doesn't have the right to not allow the person you like to have their own friends."

"There is no conflict between having friends of the opposite sex and staying away from them," Qiao Lan said. But I think it is also necessary to keep a certain distance from friends of the opposite sex when you have a boyfriend, don't you think?"

Ji Su looks at the girl in front of her.

Beautiful, intelligent, generous and straightforward, he felt extraordinarily satisfied in any of these points.

"You make a good point, so I have another question for you, if you had to choose between your other half and a very important friend one day, what would you do."

"The more rational approach, then, is naturally to do the right thing and not the wrong person."

"Are you a rational person."

"I'm not," Qiao Lan says, shaking his head decisively, "I'm not right about people, I'm very protective and eccentric."

"Eccentric boyfriend?"

"Sure."

"Even if this whole thing is indeed your boyfriend's fault?"

"Yes."

Even though this may not really be right, even though others may say she is blinded by her feelings, even though in the eyes of others such feelings are somewhat abnormal, her choice will never change.

For her, there is only one right answer to any question, and that is Tan Mo.

Ji Su suddenly didn't want to talk, Qiao Lan was still the same Qiao Lan, the Qiao Lan that he couldn't do anything about.

Before is no way to approach, so easy to approach, but is to say what is useless, quite a lot also only not more to make him bad mood.

The first student arrives and the conversation between Ji Su and Qiao Lan comes to an end.

After following the students for a few days, Qiao Lan was amazed at the various secrets they had hidden in their hearts and sighed that there were so many people in the world who thought too much and were overly paranoid.

In order to protect the privacy of the students, the cases are not signed, and Ji Su and a few other seniors have selected the most representative and, by and large, the most radical cases to discuss together.

There is a case today where this is exactly the case.

I don't know which senior student handled the case, but Qiao Lan didn't meet it for several days.

What the girl finally couldn't bear was that her boyfriend came to admonish her that he would go and kill himself if she ever mentioned the break-up again.

"He will always scold me always be mean to me, scolded cry I will say he was wrong, but he will still keep scolding me mean to me, I can not and in addition to his still and people talk, including female students, in qq one minute not reply, will be angry, text message 1 minute not back he will keep sending until I back, I can not every time in time to see, really almost crazy ...... every time my friend is unhappy I comforted, he will say, other people's business do not care, but is my very good friends, he will say let them go to hell, I really was driven crazy, before wanting to break up to seek relief, but he threatened me with suicide ...... "

The school has just recently had a suicide and the girl is really scared by her boyfriend's threats and is temporarily afraid to stop talking about the breakup, but is more anxious and scared of her boyfriend because of his behaviour.

Ji Su asked the club members to pass out the information to everyone and have everyone read it carefully first.

For this kind of question, just like the few girls who just made comments as soon as they heard it, they felt they had to split, immediately.

One grumpy girl just didn't hold back and said outright, "Split, split right now, I just don't believe he'll really kill himself, such a selfish person can't even spare himself."

When the information was all in hand, it became clear that it wasn't that simple.

This is because from the girl's account, the boyfriend's claim of suicide was not a deliberate threat; he could have actually committed suicide.

The girl listed a series of deviant behaviours by her boyfriend that a normal person would never do, but he did one after another.

After everyone had read the information in silence for a while, one boy spoke up in the silence, "This boy, he's sick, isn't he?"

After saying that, he hurriedly said, "I'm not scolding him, I'm just stating the facts and saying he's sick, meaning he has a mental illness, I guess."

This conclusion was unanimously accepted, as a normal person would not be able to do such a thing.

Qiao Lan looked at the script in her hands and listened to the chattering discussion around her without speaking.

Ji Su also listened patiently to the discussion for a while before starting to say.

"To be precise, being too possessive and too paranoid is not a mental illness, but it does depend on how possessive it is, whether there is excessive suspicion or something more inappropriate like spying on the other person, and whether your possessiveness is seriously affecting your state or something like that. Of course, whether it's a mental illness or not being too possessive isn't good in itself."

"Generally people who are overly possessive tend to have low self-esteem and feel that they are not good enough for fear of being abandoned by the other person so they want to control and possess each other extraordinarily, these problems can usually be solved normally with good communication and guidance in the right way or normally, the topic we are discussing today is not this but another one, not for such behaviour as possessiveness, but for people with real mental illness."

"Here, I pose the question, people with mental illness, do you think they can have normal love as normal people."
