A woman with an unbelievably perfect figure, tall and curvy, exuding a seductive charm, came walking over.
She had naturally wavy golden hair, bright blue eyes, a complexion as smooth and pale as snow, and a top-tier body that a young girl couldn't compare with.
A white blouse, a black pencil skirt, and flesh-colored transparent stockings made for a quintessential seductive office lady look.
This was a woman who, if a man glanced at her once, would find it hard to keep walking, her beauty and allure nearly flawless.
Zhang Wei could now understand why all the people coming to the clinic were men.
It was because women simply wouldn't come to see Dr. Jessica—that would be far too shabby in comparison.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Zhang Wei. I am Jessica, Jessica Aervate Fergus. You may call me Dr. Jessica."
Dr. Jessica's Dragon Country language was very good, without the slightest accent, and carried a hint of a unique magnetism that tickled the ears and stirred the imagination.
She showed Zhang Wei her psychologist qualification certificate, which bore her name clearly and correctly.
But Zhang Wei's gaze lingered more on her ample 36D bust rather than the information on the certificate.
So big!
Thank you, Uncle Zhao, I'm grateful to you for life!
After experiencing a brief moment of distraction, Zhang Wei finally averted his gaze from those enticing features and adopted a serious demeanor.
"Hello, Dr. Jessica, would you mind having one more admirer... ah, I mean, would you mind if I sit down?"
Although he had snapped back to reality, Zhang Wei's mind hadn't quite caught up, causing him to misspeak.
Dr. Jessica covered her mouth with a chuckle, as if she hadn't heard his slip of the tongue.
"Please, take a seat; otherwise, it will be difficult for us to proceed with our work."
She spoke and took a seat on a couch, swinging her legs gently, adopting a posture filled with lazy allure.
Zhang Wei tried to tell himself to be restrained, but his eyes naturally gravitated toward her again.
There seemed to be a kind of magic about Dr. Jessica; even a simple movement could unconsciously attract a man's gaze.
"Are you a friend of Mr. Zhao?" Dr. Jessica asked as Zhang Wei sat down.
Zhang Wei shifted his gaze from her long legs and replied earnestly, "Strictly speaking, I'm his neighbor."
"Neighbor?" Dr. Jessica seemed somewhat surprised; the young man before her was Mr. Zhao Qingyan's neighbor.
"Are you aware of what Mr. Zhao... I mean, do you know what service Mr. Zhao has arranged for you?"
"Isn't it a psychological assessment?"
Dr. Jessica confirmed that Zhang Wei seemed unaware of Zhao Qingyan's intentions.
"That is indeed the service for today, and he made that clear to me," Dr. Jessica nodded, but she explained, "Mr. Zhao Qingyan paid a lot of money, enough for a year's worth of mental health counseling. However, his job is very demanding, so he asked me to transfer the service onto you."
"I see. Well, I only need a single assessment, but of course, if you don't mind, I'll come by regularly for counseling."
Zhang Wei happily accepted; after all, having the company of and conversation with a beautiful woman was an opportunity only a fool would decline.
"Good, here's the business card for my office. If you wish to come, please call ahead of time, and Cui Xi will arrange it."
Dr. Jessica handed over a blue business card, which Zhang Wei carefully received, his eyes inadvertently catching a glimpse of the black lace bra under her blouse.
So enticing...
"Well then, let's get started."
Dr. Jessica picked up a notebook and began to take notes while she explained.
"Since this is your first visit, I need to record some information. I hope you don't mind..."
"Of course not. Just being able to see you is a blessing from the heaven."
Zhang Wei chuckled, complimenting her involuntarily.
Dr. Jessica stopped writing, lifted her head, and looked over with a smile, "Mr. Zhang has such a sweet tongue. Judging by your way of speaking to women, you must have a girlfriend, right?"
"No, I used to be a hopeless romantic; how could I possibly have a girlfriend?" Zhang Wei denied with a shake of his head, slightly resigned inwardly.
If it were the original owner of this body here, he probably wouldn't have been able to speak upon seeing Dr. Jessica.
He managed to speak only because of his life experiences, allowing him to regain his composure quickly.
"Hopeless romantic?"
Confusion flickered across Dr. Jessica's eyes; although she was proficient in Dragon Country language, some slang terms were still unfamiliar to her.
"Haha, just some shameful things, I can only say who hasn't been young." Zhang Wei quickly waved his hand, masking his embarrassment.
"Alright."
Jessica stopped taking notes, closed her notebook, and then her bright eyes turned to Zhang Wei.
"Could you tell me why you need this psychological assessment, have you encountered any work-related stress or difficulties in life?"
"It seems my past as a lapdog can no longer be hidden..."
Zhang Wei sighed and recounted all the foolish actions of his former self from memory.
This talk lasted for almost 30 minutes.
After hearing about Zhang Wei's glorious deeds as a lapdog, Jessica's sensual full lips parted slightly, her face hard to conceal her surprise.
"You're saying that you did so much for this girl called Jia Meili and didn't even get a thank you in the end?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I be called a lapdog, a lapdog who in the end has nothing..."
"That's really sad, to give so much and get nothing in return," Jessica couldn't help nodding.
"Then have you ever thought of taking revenge on her?"
"Of course, I not only took revenge on her, but also publicly humiliated her, revealing her true face in front of the entire law school, and even in front of all the teachers and students of East University!"
Watching Zhang Wei's response and the expression he recounted with, Jessica's eyes slightly furrowed.
She picked up her notebook and started recording some information again.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, your reaction is odd, it makes me feel that after that incident, you seemed to become a different person. I'm not talking about a change of attitude in the traditional sense, but completely turning into another person."
Jessica's words made Zhang Wei's hand shake involuntarily.
But the former seemed not to notice this gesture and continued:
"A world-renowned expert in trauma research has mentioned that after experiencing trauma, humans exhibit five different stages, which are crying, numbness and resistance, invasive memories, understanding the trauma, and healing the trauma. From your description just now, you only went through the first stage and then chose to end the pain, but soon after you left the hospital, you had already reached the fifth stage and chose to heal the trauma by retaliating, which is quite unexpected to me."
"There is something else I am very concerned about..."
Zhang Wei's expression gradually became stern, while Jessica kept speaking smoothly:
"When you were telling this story, it was as if you were looking from a third-person perspective. In my view, your coping is very good, so good it even surprises me. Moreover, I couldn't detect a hint of embarrassment from your body language. You're very composed about your past humiliation, which shows you have a very high psychological resilience, and how could such a person make irrational choices?"
"So..." Zhang Wei said reflexively.
"So, either you have experienced the ups and downs of life, and thus you've become much more mature all of a sudden, or the person inside your body isn't the original one anymore!"
"Hahaha, hahahaha... Doctor, you really have a sense of humor, how could I not be my original self, you really crack me up."
Zhang Wei laughed aloud, laughing very loudly to hide the panic inside.
Stay calm, be calm, you can't let the girl in front of you see anything!
"You're right, it seems it's the first kind, you suddenly became more mature, which isn't bad."
Jessica also laughed, as if to go along with Zhang Wei, she chuckled in response.
Zhang Wei's smile disappeared rapidly from his face after laughing for about ten seconds, and he secretly wiped away some sweat, barely able to hold himself together.
Thankfully, ordinary people would definitely not think of this transmigration and rebirth stuff.
"Dr. Jessica, we can't always talk about me, it's always been me exposing myself, how about we talk about you?"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Zhang Wei had to change the subject.
"My affairs, why would you want to know about my affairs?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Zhang Wei brought into play his flirting skills from his past life, slowly stood up, and walked towards Jessica.
"Do you know that out of ten men who see you, nine would be captivated by your charm!"
"Are you trying to say you're the only one?"
Jessica was unfazed and asked back with a sensual voice, after seeing Zhang Wei stop.
The distance between the two was less than two arm's lengths apart, and the tall Jessica was almost eye-level with Zhang Wei. They looked directly at each other, neither of them backing down.
In the end, Zhang Wei played his trump card, saying solemnly, "No, what I mean is I'll be the very first one!"
The effect of these words was distinct, and Jessica finally couldn't help but laugh, her body retreating to the couch.
But in her eyes, there was an unmistakable trace of surprise.
She found it hard to imagine that a once subservient little boy could say something so deep and provocative.
"Since you want to know about me, then I won't hide anything, I'll tell you everything. First of all, I come from abroad, my hometown is a major city in the New Alliance, and ever since I was little..."
Faced with Zhang Wei's suggestion, Dr. Jessica actually started to talk about her own affairs, but she skimmed over many private matters with brief words. However, Zhang Wei still grasped the content.
Through her account, Zhang Wei got to understand the woman before him.
All in all, she was a study machine.
Although her family background wasn't superior, she relied on her own efforts to get into an outstanding high school, and eventually got into Medical University with a full scholarship. She graduated smoothly and became an excellent doctor. Later, due to some reasons, she switched to studying psychology, earned three doctoral degrees, and became an impressive doctor of psychology.
After Dr. Jessica finished sharing things about her life, she glanced at the time unintentionally.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, now that we both have a clear understanding of each other, it's time to prepare for your matter."
She reminded Zhang Wei of the purpose of his visit.
Psychological assessment.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Talking to a beautiful woman just makes one forget things..."
Zhang Wei said with an apologetic smile, signaling that Dr. Jessica could start.
Dr. Jessica stood up, took three forms from the bedside desk.
"Since you have encountered that kind of incident, I will conduct three tests on you. The tests are the PSTR psychological stress test, the Liebowitz social anxiety scale, and the PDP behavioral style test. I hope that you won't hide anything from me when answering the questions later, as it will affect the final assessment result."
Zhang Wei nodded seriously: "Of course, I have been telling you nothing but the truth since I entered."
"That's good!" Dr. Jessica didn't seem to catch the real meaning behind his words and smiled, nodding her head.
"Then let's start. We'll begin with situational simulation. You'll need to answer descriptions of specific scenarios. To immerse you in it, I will use some hypnosis-like techniques, and I hope you can understand."
"Hypnosis?" Zhang Wei was surprised but then asked skeptically, "I thought that hypnosis wouldn't work on people with a strong mind."
"Are you saying that you are very guarded?"
"That depends on who against. If it's Dr. Jessica, I might lower my defenses a bit, but it also depends on the situation."
Dr. Jessica thought for a moment, got up from the sofa, and sat down directly on the carpet.
"Since Mr. Zhang Wei said so, I also hope you can let down your guard. I can tell you're a person who is guarded, so for the sake of the test's effectiveness, I hope you can lie down in front of me?"
That would mean he could admire the beauty up close!
"This, wouldn't be proper..."
Zhang Wei was verbally declining, but his body was honest, moving immediately to lie down in a fluid motion.
Too bad a psychologist can't have too much physical contact with a patient, otherwise he would really have liked a lap pillow.
Of course, it is said that psychologists also use various kinds of treatment methods, perhaps one of them could involve a lap pillow service...
Zhang Wei lifted his head slightly and felt something obstructing his view, while a refreshing fragrance filled his nostrils.
So nice~
Zhang Wei smiled with a somewhat lewd expression, luckily it was in Dr. Jessica's blind spot, so she couldn't see it.
"Then let's start. Mr. Zhang Wei, please close your eyes, listen to my description, and imagine such a scene in your mind..."
"Too bad, I can't continue looking..."
Zhang Wei closed his eyes with a bit of regret and began to cooperate with Dr. Jessica.
Yet he was still curious in his heart about how Dr. Jessica would hypnotize someone with as firm a psyche as his.
I'm someone who has lived two lives, my body may be young, but my heart is mature, and there's no way your little tricks can hypnotize me!
If you can hypnotize me, Zhang Someone, today, right here, I'll eat the sofa I just sat on!
2 minutes later.
Zzzzz~
Zzzzz~
Looking at Zhang Wei, who had fallen asleep, and listening to his gentle snoring, Dr. Jessica smiled.
"So, Mr. Zhang Wei, the test has started..."
...
30 minutes later, Zhang Wei slowly woke up.
He realized he must have fallen asleep, fortunately, before falling asleep, Jessica wouldn't have heard what he said.
Subconsciously glancing at the couch he had just been sitting on, Zhang Someone slowly got up and pretended as if nothing had happened, returning to his seat.
Jessica was reading a book, and when she noticed that Zhang Wei had woken up, she gently closed the book.
"Mr. Zhang, the test is completed. I will send you the results by email. You can fill in your email address at the registration desk."
"Can we use V-chat?"
"Hmm, that's also possible."
Jessica thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
She went back to her desk and took out her phone.
Zhang Wei noticed that Jessica's phone was the same model as his own, but in a white style, also from Blacksmith Technology.
[Jessica Voges has added you as a friend, do you accept?]
Soon, the prompt arrived, and Zhang Wei naturally clicked accept.
[You have added Jessica Voges as a friend; you can start chatting now.]
After sending Jessica a smiley face, Zhang Wei put away his phone as well.
"The next time I come to see you, will I need to make an appointment in advance?"
"Of course, my clients are many, and I need to prepare for each one individually for counseling."
Jessica spoke as she flipped open her notebook to check.
"Mr. Zhao Qingyan paid for a year's worth of sessions, up until next July, you can come to me to book a counseling session without any additional fees. However, I can only provide up to 2 hours of coaching at a time, with an interval of once a week. Is that okay?"
"That's certainly no problem!"
Zhang Wei said, checking the time - from the moment he entered the office, almost 2 hours had already passed.
"Then, thank you for the assessment today, Dr. Jessica."
"It's what I'm supposed to do."
"It feels a bit odd to call you 'doctor.' We might have many chats in the coming year, may I call you by your first name?"
"Of course, should I call you Zhang Wei then?"
"Yes, thank you, Jessica!"
Zhang Wei bid his farewell and got up to leave.
Jessica naturally didn't stop him.
Just after Zhang Wei left the room through the side door, the smile on Jessica's face suddenly faded, and she flipped open to the page of her notebook that contained Zhang Wei's information.
She took out a pen and began to write down information rapidly.
"This is a special patient; his behavior pattern is completely different from the growth experiences he describes. And the event that caused this discrepancy is that one."
"Given that, I'll mark this situation as a 'special node event' and divide his life into before and after the event. The result shows that before and after the event, he is completely two different people, which makes me very curious."
"Hypothesis 1: The event led to his original self-being negated by his subsequent self."
"Hypothesis 2: The event triggered psychological trauma, creating another personality, confident and full of passion, vastly different from his former self."
...
Notebook closed, Jessica looked at the door through which Zhang Wei had exited, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
"Zhang Wei, you really are an interesting patient; I admit I am drawn to your case."
"Moreover, I am curious about your relationship with Mr. Zhao Qingyan; he isn't someone who easily acknowledges others. There must be something special about you?"
"How exactly did a law school student attract the attention of Mr. Zhao Qingyan?"
Regardless of how Jessica speculated about Zhang Wei's background, at that moment, Zhang Wei had already left the United Financial Building.
He took out his phone and hurriedly sent a message to Xia Qianyue.
Zhang Wei: My psychological assessment is complete. Where are you? I will come to find you.
Zhang Wei: Shake screen
Xia Qianyue: "Coordinates: Dongfang Capital Central City…"
Seeing Xia Qianyue send a location directly, Zhang Wei understood.
