    Chapter 22 Depressive tendencies

    After the estrus period has been marked once, the rest of the time is basically the same as that of a normal person, so Shen Lingfeng easily passed the second day of the estrus period with the help of Su Chenhui.

    On the third day, during Shen Lingfeng’s lunch time, he received a call from an unknown number.

    “Hello?” Shen Lingfeng held the takeaway lunch box in her right hand and pressed down on her phone with her left hand.

    “Hello, is this Mr. Shen Lingfeng? I’m Su Chenhui’s friend. Can I chat with you?” There was a nice male voice on the phone.

    “Ah, I’m eating, but it’s okay. You can talk first.” It was about Su Chenhui, and Shen Lingfeng didn’t dare to neglect it.He always felt that the other party was calling him like this because of something very important.

    “It’s not that urgent. Can I call back in ten minutes?”

    “Okay, I should be free the rest of the time.”

    “That’s it for now, I’ll hang up first.”

    After the other party hung up the phone, Shen Lingfeng hurriedly picked up the food in the lunch box, and the battle was resolved in five minutes.

    The quality of this lunch box was mediocre, and because he was worried about it, he couldn’t taste what he was eating.

    After throwing away the lunch box, Shen Lingfeng took the initiative to call the other party, “Hello, sir, I have finished eating now, you can talk.”

    “Okay… let me introduce myself first. To be precise, I am Su Chenhui’s friend and psychiatrist. My surname is Xie.”

    “…What?” Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but be stunned, “You mean, Chen Hui has had psychological treatment?”

    “Yes.” Dr. Xie said bluntly, “He suffered from depression and was treated by me for a long time.”

    “Has he suffered from depression?!” Shen Lingfeng was even more shocked.

    “Yeah. But his symptoms are not serious, and he can basically maintain a normal life and work, and most people don’t notice it – after all, he has a cold personality and doesn’t like to talk to others, so no one knows that he sometimes doesn’t want to communicate because he is suffering from depression.”

    “…” Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but smile bitterly.In fact, he also knew a little bit about psychology. He knew that the root cause of depression was self-hatred, but as arrogant as Su Chenhui, it was hard to see that he was a self-hatred person.

    “But,” Dr. Xie added, “he had a tendency to harm himself.”

    “Self-harm?!” Shen Lingfeng was shocked again when he heard this.

    “Fortunately, it has been many years. At that time, he had received regular treatment from me for several years, and he tried to maintain one-hour video consultations once a week when he was filming elsewhere. With the joint efforts of both of us, his depression had been cured.

    “But recently he felt that he had a tendency to relapse, so he came to me for another video consultation.”

    “What happened recently??Shen Lingfeng’s heart rose to her throat, “Is it because you called me because the matter is related to me?”Did I accidentally do something wrong?”

    “Huh, no.Doctor Xie chuckled lightly, “Don’t be nervous, it has nothing to do with you.”I personally think that the reason for his relapse was that he was filming a movie in which the main character was suffering from depression, and he got too involved in the movie.”

    “Ah yes!”

    Shen Lingfeng suddenly remembered that Su Chenhui once told him that the movie he was filming was about a story between a depressed patient and an Alzheimer’s patient.

    But Shen Lingfeng didn’t know more specific content.He always likes to discuss the plots of his TV series with Su Chenhui, but Su Chenhui rarely mentions the specific plots of his movies.

    “Actually, it stands to reason that a psychiatrist and a patient cannot establish a friendship, but I think he has a very charming personality, so after I finished treating him, I couldn’t help but become his friend.

    “Two days ago, when he came to see me for consultation after a long absence, I discovered that his depression has indeed relapsed…”

    “What should we do?!” Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but interrupt Dr. Xie eagerly.

    “Oh, don’t worry.” Dr. Xie smiled softly again and reassured, “Depression is not a scourge. People who have had depression tendencies are indeed prone to relapse after treatment, but we will deal with it once it comes. It doesn’t matter.”

    “Okay…” Shen Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, “Then do you have any plans for the treatment plan?”

    “Hey, that’s why I called you.” Dr. Xie sighed. “I originally suggested that he resume regular consultation with me for a while, but he refused, saying that we were friends now and it was inconvenient for him to do such a thing again, but he didn’t trust other psychiatrists… I realized that the real reason why he refused treatment this time was that he didn’t want to be a patient again.”

    “No one wants to be a patient! But getting sick is something we can’t control, right? He shouldn’t hide his illness and avoid medical treatment.”

    “Mr. Shen, you are right. I have another guess…” Dr. Xie paused, “The reason why he is unwilling to admit that he is a patient anymore is because he met you again recently.”

    “…!” Shen Lingfeng was shocked again, “Um…did he tell you a lot about us?”

    “Yes. You are a very important protagonist in his life.”

    “Really?!” Shen Lingfeng always thought that she cared more about Su Chenhui than he cared about herself. When she learned this fact, she couldn’t help but be surprised, “What did he say about me? Can you tell me?”

    “Oh, I can’t talk about this.” Dr. Xie refused Shen Lingfeng’s request. “Psychiatrists have the obligation to keep patients confidential. I can only tell you that he mentioned his recent reunion with you… So I thought, as a psychiatrist, I can’t force the client to undergo treatment, but as someone close to him, you may be able to persuade him and help him. That’s why I made this call to you.”

    “I understand, thank you for telling me this! But…I don’t know how to help him now…”

    Shen Lingfeng was in trouble for a while.With Su Chenhui’s personality, he would probably be very unhappy if he knew that he had known his secret, let alone accept his help.

    “I don’t have a particularly good answer to this at the moment. But patients with depression need companionship. If you are free, maybe you can go visit the class and spend more time with him. I always feel that if you just leave him alone, something big will happen.”

    “A companion… But I’m also very busy here… Well, today happens to be my estrus period and I don’t have to go filming, so I’ll take a plane to find him in the afternoon!”

    Shen Lingfeng thought, if Su Chenhui could travel thousands of miles to find his wife, then he could also travel thousands of miles to find his husband.

    “Uh, Mr. Shen is an omega, right? Isn’t it unsafe to travel far away during the period of estrus?”

    “Haha, it’s okay,” Shen Lingfeng smiled confidently, “I was just marked by him, and I will never go into heat when facing other alphas besides him.”
