75 -74: I’m Seeing a Psychologist and I Have a Clear Conscience
Dongfang Capital, city center.
Near Civic Square, Yunlu Specialty Food Street
If Dongfang Capital ever held a top ten food street competition, Yunlu Street near Civic Square would definitely achieve a high ranking.
Thanks to the huge flow of people near Civic Square, business here is booming.
Plus, it’s the weekend rush period, so the entire street is packed with people.
Among the crowd, two individuals stood out.
Zhang Wei walked side by side with Jessica, enduring the envious and jealous stares around them.
Yet, his face remained calm.
Because he had a clear conscience!
He and the woman beside him were nothing more than doctor and patient; there was no other ambiguous relationship.
What are you looking at, envy you to death!
Zhang Wei grumbled to himself.
“Jessica, walking with you makes me feel like all the men around us want to stab me.”
“Giggle, aren’t you exaggerating a bit?”
Jessica smiled at Zhang Wei, but her next movement made the males around them – who occasionally glanced their way – show strong feelings of jealousy.
She had been simply walking alongside Zhang Wei, but because the crowd was so thick, Jessica had no choice but to grab Zhang Wei’s arm and then lean against him like a little girl would.
“Holy crap!”
This scene also startled Zhang Wei, one of the people involved.
“Sorry, there are too many people around, may I use your body to shield myself?” Jessica’s gentle and magnetic voice rang into his ear.
His ear felt warm and tingling – this was because Jessica had blown the hot air from her nose on the edge of his earlobe.
Zhang Wei’s heartbeat quickened, thumping loudly, and he felt completely unsettled.
“Actually, I also wanted to observe your reaction.
This is part of a psychological diagnosis, so please don’t mind…”
Jessica whispered again, as if to alleviate any qualms Zhang Wei might have had.
“Oh, is that right?
Then, it’s nothing…”
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Wei suddenly relaxed,
after all, he had a clear conscience, and the two of them were only in a doctor-patient relationship!
Once he was clear on that point, Zhang Wei became calm again.
After all, he had been through all sorts of trials and tribulations.
Such a small scene was like water off a duck’s back!
As for the other person involved, Jessica was equally surprised in her heart.
By her estimation, although Zhang Wei usually exhibited a maturity and calmness beyond his age, in a sudden situation, he was still a young boy and would surely react in a way consistent with his age group.
But Jessica’s guess was wrong.
She didn’t expect that the sudden move she made just before would be completely defused by Zhang Wei’s poker face.
Now she was like a girl in the throes of love, nestled in Zhang Wei’s arms, a situation that made her face blush slightly.
Unlike someone’s calmness, Jessica’s slight shyness, along with the surrounding men’s envy, jealousy, and resentment, the commotion from behind was even greater.
“God, that foreign girl is making the first move!
Are they going to end up in bed together tonight, just like that!”
Mo Yuzhu held her binoculars, staring intently at the pair in front of her.
“What’s happening, let me take a look too!”
Xia Qianyue cared greatly and snatched the binoculars from Mo Yuzhu’s hands, looking eagerly towards the front.
She saw Zhang Wei and Jessica cozily snuggled up together.
This thought echoed in Xia Qianyue’s mind:
I finally took a chance on you, but you left me with such a complete loss…
Damn!
The next moment, the newly purchased spying gadget was twisted into a pretzel by five pale fingers.
“My God, how can you be so strong!”
Mo Yuzhu, seeing her new binoculars crushed, didn’t feel heartbroken but instead marveled at Xia Qianyue’s strength.
Next to her, Xiao Baihe watched the scene with great interest, almost bursting with joy internally.
As long as something upset Zhang Wei, she was happy.
Looking at Zhang Wei’s demeanor, she guessed he was probably enjoying the moment, unaware that he might be in mortal danger soon.
Although she was a prosecutor who represented justice, if Xia Qianyue decided to make a move later, she could pretend to have seen nothing for a brief moment.
“Simple-minded person, don’t be impulsive, you can’t go around taking lives, okay!”
Compared to Xiao Baihe, who relished the misfortune, Mo Yuzhu was much more anxious.
She quickly grabbed Xia Qianyue, who wanted to rush forward.
“Yuzhu, let go of me!”
“Let go of you, and Zhang Wei is as good as dead.
Besides, there are so many people here, if you really act impulsively, Xiao Baihe might just escort you to Iron Island Prison herself, and then wouldn’t you be spending a lifetime as a widow in prison?”
Mo Yuzhu kept intervening, which finally calmed Xia Qianyue down.
However, Xia Hanhan’s face still showed lingering anger.
There was nothing more suffocating for her than this incident.
Just yesterday she had brought Zhang Wei home to meet her parents, and today she caught him openly being affectionate with a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman on the street, which was simply unbearable!
“Actually, to confront him, you don’t need to do it face to face; you could just send him a VChat message to see if he’ll lie,” suggested Xiao Baihe suddenly.
She worked at the Procuratorate Headquarters as a prosecutor, adept at telling if someone could be a perpetrator by whether they lied or not.
Similarly, if Zhang Wei had a guilty conscience, he would definitely lie on VChat, and then if they suddenly showed up, catching him off guard, they’d see how he would react.
It was a little trick; although you know they are lying, you don’t expose it right away.
Wait until they think they’ve fooled everyone else, then whip out key evidence and deliver a checkmate, leaving the other party with no excuses.
This was a typical Procuratorate tactic for dealing with suspects, and it was just right for use on Zhang Wei.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, what Xiao Baihe said makes sense.
You should ask him on VChat, maybe it’s a misunderstanding!” Mo Yuzhu quickly agreed, though in her heart, she felt it was somewhat far-fetched.
If this could still be a misunderstanding, then all the men hiding under beds and in closets were really just repairmen and plumbers.
Xia Qianyue finally calmed down and took out her phone to quickly compose a message and send it off.
Ahead.
Zhang Wei was originally strolling with Jessica in the heart of Yunlu Specialty Food Street when his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Xia Qianyue.
“What’s wrong?” Jessica, sensing something off with him, slowed down slightly.
“Nothing, some silly girl seems to be looking for me,” Zhang Wei replied with a smile and opened VChat.
[Xia Qianyue: What are you doing?]
That was Xia Qianyue’s message; it sounded like she was checking on someone.
[Zhang Wei: I’m seeing a psychologist (smile)]
Behind.
Xia Qianyue received the reply on VChat.
“Hm, a psychologist?”
Xia Qianyue, Mo Yuzhu, and Xiao Baihe looked at each other in disbelief.
How was this an explanation?
Cozying up to a blonde beauty on the street, and that’s seeing a psychologist?
Since when have psychologists become so competitive?
“Hurry and ask more!” urged Mo Yuzhu after some thought.
Xia Qianyue composed another message and sent it.
Ahead, Zhang Wei took out his phone again and opened VChat.
[Xia Qianyue: Is the psychologist a woman?]
Reading this, Zhang Wei was somewhat speechless, remembering that Xia Qianyue had once questioned the scent of perfume on him too.
[Zhang Wei: Yes, my psychologist is a woman, is there a problem with that (confused)]
Having composed the message, he sent it out.
Not only that, but right after sending the message during a brief pause, he pointed to a storefront with a very down-to-earth name: “How about we eat here?
Looks pretty good.”
The store’s decor had a strong Dragon Country style, with large red lanterns hanging high and a red wooden signboard with the words “Old Tan Sour Vegetable Fish” written boldly at the entrance.
“Fish?” Jessica was slightly surprised but nodded her head nonetheless.
Although she didn’t know how sour vegetables and fish were supposed to go together, she wasn’t particularly picky about food.
The pair walked into the restaurant, under the watchful eyes of the passersby.
Behind.
“He’s replied, asking if I have a problem?”
Xia Qianyue was stunned after seeing Zhang Wei’s response.
You’re cuddling in the street, and you say there’s no problem?
“You can’t ask like that, let me do it!”
Mo Yuzhu took the cell phone from Xia Qianyue’s hand and began to compose messages, sending them one by one.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant.
The waitress was enthusiastically taking orders from Zhang Wei and Jessica.
“Your signature dish must be the sour vegetable fish, right?”
“Of course, sir.
Our boss is a renowned chef from the Sichuan region.
His skill in cooking fish is unmatched.
The fish he makes in sour soup is tender, spicy, and sour, plus eating more fish is good for your health and longevity…”
“Alright then, let’s have the sour vegetable fish and two other dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.
There are only two of us, so we can’t eat too much.”
“Got it!” After taking the order, the waitress immediately signaled the kitchen to start preparing.
At that moment, Zhang Wei’s WeChat message notification sounded again.
“What’s up?
Girlfriend checking in on you?” Perhaps sitting down had made Jessica ask questions with more of a local flavor.
“Sort of, but I’m surprised.
Silly usually doesn’t send me so many messages,” Zhang Wei noted, sensing something odd, but he wasn’t overly concerned.
At that moment, Xia Qianyue and her two companions also entered the Sour Vegetable Fish Restaurant.
[Xia Qianyue: Zhang Wei, tell me, who are you with right now?]
[Xia Qianyue: Is the psychologist pretty?]
[Xia Qianyue: At this hour, are you dining together, or have you already left the psychologist’s office?]
Seeing the string of questions from “Xia Qianyue,” Zhang Wei thought it over and decided to honestly reply.
[Zhang Wei: I’m having dinner with the psychologist.
To be honest, she’s very pretty, and she comes from abroad.
She’s a blonde with blue eyes, a real beauty.]
[Xia Qianyue: Were you two shopping together just now?]
“Weird, how does Silly know this?” Zhang Wei wondered, suspecting that Xia Qianyue might have seen something, but he continued to type with a serious face.
[Zhang Wei: Yeah, we came down from the office and found a Sour Vegetable Fish Restaurant.
The waitress said the boss is skilled.
If you like, I can also make sour vegetable fish for you someday.
(smile)]
[Xia Qianyue: Cut it out!
You’re with a beautiful woman, why would you even consider cooking for me?]
Those words seemed filled with a melancholic yearning, as if she was a neglected wife in her inner chamber.
[Zhang Wei: Are you jealous?]
[Xia Qianyue: Not at all, I’m not jealous, I’m definitely not jealous (turns head and huffs coldly)]
Denying jealousy?
Yeah, right!
Zhang Wei chuckled helplessly and quickly composed a message.
[Zhang Wei: But it doesn’t seem like it?]
[Zhang Wei: Anyway, don’t worry, I can control myself.
Besides, our relationship is purely that of doctor and patient.
We’re only eating out because it happens to be mealtime.
Relax.
(smile)]
At a table in the distance.
Seeing Zhang Wei’s responses, whether it was Mo Yuzhu holding the phone or Xia Qianyue and Xiao Baihe sitting beside her, they all seemed at a loss for words.
Zhang Wei seemed to be telling the truth.
He acknowledged that the psychologist was pretty and also revealed his location without any intention to conceal anything.
Did they really not have anything between them, just an ordinary doctor-patient relationship?
Sometimes, telling the truth and sticking to your story can leave your opponent with no moves to make.
At least the three women, including Xia Qianyue, were out of strategies.
“Um…
ladies, are you ready to order?”
The waitress saw that they had stopped talking and finally saw her chance.
“Um, give us the same dishes as that table!”
Xia Qianyue pointed to Zhang Wei’s table.
“The same as that table, got it!”
The waitress was curious about Xia Qianyue’s attitude but nodded and went to place the order, which saved her quite a bit of trouble.
As soon as the waitress left, Xia Qianyue eagerly asked, “That guy doesn’t seem to be lying, right?”
“From the looks of the messages, I really can’t find anything wrong…” Mo Yuzhu agreed, handing the phone back.
But just as the phone reached Xia Qianyue, Xiao Baihe snatched it away.
“Both of you have no clue about interrogation techniques.
Let me handle this!” Xiao Baihe took the phone and launched into an explanation with a smirk, “When interrogating a suspect, first and foremost, the questions should be short and to the point, preferably hitting where it hurts the most.
The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
When dealing with suspects, I usually use closed-ended questions like ‘Is it?’ or ‘Isn’t it?’ where the reply must be one of two options.
It’s the most effortless way!”
“Our criminal investigation teacher taught that too!” Xia Qianyue nodded unconsciously in agreement.
Mo Yuzhu smacked her lips in disbelief.
Are you really from the serious crime team if you don’t even know how to interrogate?
“Watch this!” Xiao Baihe said, picking up the phone and beginning to draft a message.
Elsewhere.
The sour vegetable fish for Zhang Wei’s table had been served, wafting a pungent aroma of spicy and numbing flavors.
“The dish is quite nice, the seasoning makes me feel a bit warm.”
Jessica said as she took off her coat, revealing the inner shirt which strained to contain her ample chest, almost leaping out.
Feeling that wasn’t enough, Jessica undid another button on her shirt, the expanse of snowy white flesh seemingly on the verge of spilling out.
“So white~”
Zhang Wei took it all in, but at that inopportune moment, his cell phone started ringing.
“This Silly, really is…” He looked helpless but still opened WeChat.
[Xia Qianyue: Zhang Wei, you said your psychologist is very pretty, do you like her?]
[Xia Qianyue: Are you having a good time with her?]
[Xia Qianyue: When you eat with her, do you feel very pleased?]
…
[Xia Qianyue: I feel like you’re staring at her, are you?]
…
[Xia Qianyue: Zhang Wei, you…]
As Zhang Wei watched the stream of messages continuously refreshing, and the sender still showing as “typing,” he was utterly stupefied.
What’s going on?
Why is Xia Hanhan acting like she’s taken the wrong medication?
She doesn’t normally ask questions like this; she’s using interrogation techniques fit for criminal investigations.
But then again, Xia Qianyue did study criminal investigation, so it’s normal for her to know interrogation techniques.
Zhang Wei didn’t suspect anything, but he simply put the phone down without intending to reply.
“What’s the matter, not replying?
Your girlfriend might get angry, you know?”
Jessica noticed Zhang Wei setting his phone aside, and gently stroked her bangs with her hand.
“She’s acting a bit abnormal today, asked a lot of questions about you and me.
But there’s nothing between us, explaining is too troublesome.
I’m not planning to reply right away; it might be better to explain in person when we meet in a few days.”
Zhang Wei said, quickly picking up a slice of fish with his chopsticks and tasting it.
“Mm, the flavor is really good, the fish is smooth and tender, the broth is flavorful, top-notch skill!”
“Hearing your review, I also think this dish isn’t bad!”
Jessica also skillfully used her chopsticks to start tasting the dishes in front of her.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei’s action of setting his phone aside was seen by Xia Qianyue and her two companions.
“Xiao Baihe, how did you ask?
He can’t even be bothered to type a reply?” Mo Yuzhu looked at the pair eating heartily, disdain evident on her face.
Before, Zhang Wei had always responded immediately to their questions, what had changed now?
And they seem to be really enjoying their meal.
“What’s happening!” Xiao Baihe was also befuddled.
What do you mean, Zhang Wei?
Are you looking down on me, Xiao Baihe?
You replied to Xia Hanhan and the mourning girl before, but now it’s my turn and this is your attitude?
No respect, huh!
Xiao Baihe suppressed the urge to confront Zhang Wei face-to-face and could only hand the phone back to Xia Qianyue.
“He’s not replying, there’s nothing I can do!”
After dropping this casual remark, she couldn’t help but urge, “How come the sour vegetable fish isn’t served yet, I’m starving.”
“Now you’re hungry, but why weren’t you hungry earlier?” Mo Yuzhu teased from the side.
“Ladies, your sour vegetable fish is here~”
Once the server brought the sour vegetable fish, Xiao Baihe was the first to reach for the chopsticks, followed by Mo Yuzhu, and then Xia Qianyue.
However, at this moment, the three women all felt that the sour vegetable fish in their mouths was not tasty.
They ate while stealthily glancing toward Zhang Wei’s table, the fish in their mouths becoming more and more tasteless with each chew.
“What’s so good about that woman, is it just because she’s blond and blue-eyed?” Xia Qianyue’s brow gradually furrowed.
After some thought, Mo Yuzhu couldn’t help but speak up, “There might be other reasons…”
As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Qianyue’s chest and then toward Zhang Wei’s table.
Look at you, then look at her.
You call that plain and simple, while she needs the table just to prop them up.
Don’t you have any idea in your mind?
Thinking this, Mo Yuzhu couldn’t help but sigh.
Women with larger chests do have an advantage; look at that foreign girl, those must be at least an E or an F cup.
Is it really just genetic differences that make them so distinct?
Following Mo Yuzhu’s gaze, Xia Qianyue first looked down at her own chest, and then turned to look in Zhang Wei’s direction, her gaze focusing on Jessica’s chest.
It seemed that she too had discovered the problem…
