Don't Lie to Your Therapist—She Already Knows Your Fate

Zhang Jingxing was stunned.

Moderate depression?

What a joke. His future was bright, he was happy every day, and he had thousands of fans who screamed their heads off every time they saw him.

Him, depressed?

Moderately depressed, no less?

This Wen Ying was clearly a fraud!

Or maybe this was part of a separate script the director had given her!

In just a moment, a million thoughts raced through Zhang Jingxing’s mind.

"I can’t believe I actually have depression! Doctor Wen, how can I control this? I don’t want to end up so depressed that I have to quit the industry, or even end my own life. I don’t want to disappoint my fans, and I don’t want my family and friends to worry."

Zhang Jingxing’s control over his expression was quite good. For a moment, quite a few people were convinced he was a truly decent celebrity!

When Xie Fu Yao heard Zhang Jingxing’s words, a wave of hostility rose in his heart.

’This Zhang Jingxing, who I’d never paid much mind to, is actually this calculating?’

’And his mind works so fast.’

’Looks like I’ll have to be more careful from now on. I don’t want to get stabbed in the back!’

"As long as the patient can find salvation in repentance, this depression can naturally be cured."

Wen Ying repeated those four words again.

The corner of Zhang Jingxing’s mouth twitched. ’Find salvation in repentance? What the hell? Has she gotten addicted to acting?’

’I came on this show... I haven’t done anything that out of line, have I?’

’How did I get dragged into this "salvation in repentance" business?’

"I don’t quite understand what Doctor Wen means. Could you be a little clearer? For example, during the group assignments earlier, should I have taken on all the work myself? Is that it? But I feel this show belongs to everyone, and everyone needs a chance to be on screen."

Zhang Jingxing’s explanation was very clear.

’Surely Wen Ying can’t pin any more on-screen blame on me now, right?’

Wen Ying smiled. "Patient, think again?"

"Think about what?" Zhang Jingxing thought for a long time. ’I can’t just come out and admit my dark thoughts, can I?’

’I’ve only thought about it; I haven’t actually done anything yet.’

’How does that warrant talk of "salvation in repentance"?’

[I’m tearing my hair out! What is going on? Can’t Doctor Wen just say it already!]

[I’m so curious, what did Zhang Jingxing do? I can already tell this batch of tea is going to be huge! Guaranteed!]

[Brother Jingxing is a good person, you can’t slander him! Our brother is so good to us! You don’t know anything, so why are you spouting nonsense!]

[Even if our brother is depressed, it’s because he’s under too much pressure! He wants to show us his best self, he’s really trying so hard!]

[Oh my! Are all of Brother’s fans minors? They talk so cute~ (Oh god, I’m gonna puke!)]

[I have a reasonable suspicion... this entire cast of guests might be completely wiped out!]

"Think about what you might have done that could have psychologically scarred someone."

Zhang Jingxing was speechless.

’Is she kidding?’

’How could I possibly tell Wen Ying about the things I’ve done?’

’Especially in front of such a huge audience?’

"Doctor Wen, well... everyone’s probably played some pranks, right? Who wasn’t a little wild and reckless when they were young? But that has nothing to do with what’s happening today, does it? Otherwise, we can just end my session. I think you’ve seen enough, and I’m feeling much better now."

Zhang Jingxing gave Wen Ying a pointed look.

Unfortunately, his signal was destined to be ignored.

"Patient Zhang Jingxing, one month ago, at a hotel in C City, did you or did you not meet privately with two female fans?"

Zhang Jingxing was stunned.

’How could Wen Ying possibly know about something so secret?’

In that instant, a million thoughts once again raced through his mind.

’Could Wen Ying know those two fans?’

’But that shouldn’t be possible. I remember those two fans had just turned eighteen. They were from a remote area, and though they were very pretty, their families were quite poor.’

’After it was over, I even gave them two thousand yuan each!’

"Doctor Wen, isn’t this my private business?"

"It is indeed the patient’s private business, but when it relates to the patient’s condition, we must treat it seriously. We cannot overlook any potential trigger. This is for your own good!"

’I don’t want this kind of "good" at all!’

"Doctor Wen, I think we should just drop it. I don’t like airing my private life in public. Let’s just talk about something else."

Wen Ying stared at Zhang Jingxing for a moment. "Alright, then let’s move on to the next trigger."

"Sister Yingying, what exactly happened? Is there a problem with meeting fans? I remember lots of celebrities in the industry meet with fans. There are even fan clubs and the like that specifically find young, pretty girls to meet their idols, celebrate birthdays, have dinner, watch movies... But since this has been brought up, I think it needs to be clarified. Otherwise, netizens will speculate wildly, and that could damage Zhang Jingxing’s reputation. He might get cyberbullied, and that’s a terrifying thing!"

[Miss Xu is a great assist, as expected!]

[To be fair, I think Zhang Jingxing is definitely shady!]

[Heh, does he dare talk about something like this? Does he dare admit it? The moment he admits it, he’s finished!]

Wen Ying thought Xu Jiali had a point. She couldn’t help but nod and look toward Zhang Jingxing.

"Concealing an illness for fear of treatment! This matter can’t just be glossed over."

Zhang Jingxing started to panic, afraid that Wen Ying truly knew what had happened.

"Actually, you’re all thinking of the wrong thing. Patient Zhang Jingxing didn’t go as far as Jiali suggested. He did indeed meet two young and beautiful fans. Those two pretty girls told the public they were nineteen. *Publicly*, that is. The rest cannot be left to implication; it must be said aloud."

A BOMB went off in Zhang Jingxing’s head!

Zhang Jingxing swayed and nearly fell, only managing to stay upright after Xie Fu Yao grabbed him.

But his composure was about to completely shatter!

"He didn’t go through with the final step, which is why I said he could find salvation in repentance. It means he can still be saved."

Zhang Jingxing’s mind was filled with a loud BUZZING sound.

Xu Jiali and Meng Xiaoyi both covered their mouths in shock.

Xu Jiali felt that Zhang Jingxing was probably finished.

Meng Xiaoyi felt that anything she said at this moment would be wrong. It was better to pretend she didn’t understand anything and just show an appropriate amount of shock.

After all, she was still a newcomer.

Zhao Qi frowned and looked at Wen Ying. "Doctor Wen, I’d like to ask, were those two girls willing? Even though I know Zhang Jingxing’s actions were already... I still want to know where he draws the line."

Wen Ying hesitated for a moment. "They were young and naive, lured by empty promises of a glorious future. That’s all I can say."

Even if they had been willing, their age would still be enough to finish Zhang Jingxing!

His bright future, which had only just begun, was about to come to an end!
