Yue Youyou's Heart Knot / Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place?!

With proper follow-up care, it is possible to gradually recover.

Of course, the most important thing is that it's free!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Yue Youyou's Heartache

Yue Youyou could naturally see why Ling Mengxue and the others wanted to bring her here.

She had considered going to the hospital before, but her family simply didn't have enough money for her medical treatment, and if she didn't say anything, no one would know.

If any problems are found at the school hospital, the school will call home and let her father know. He'll probably be worried sick, and Yue Youyou can't bear to see her already weathered father suffer any more.

Seeing that Yue Youyou seemed worried, Ling Mengxue and the others naturally wanted to ask her all the questions they needed to know. After talking with each other and receiving Liu Yinxuan's assurance, she was then led into the infirmary by a psychologist.

That's just how the world is; it's very real. Not everyone is born happy.

Ling Mengxue had encountered many such people before; Yue Youyou was just one of them.

Yue Youyou didn't come out of the infirmary until it was almost time for school to end.

Although she still looked down, her complexion was noticeably better than before, so it seems that psychological counseling was somewhat effective.

I wonder if there are any items in the Destiny Sign that can help her.

Seeing Ling Mengxue looking at her, she gave a timid smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you all."

"It doesn't matter."

After giving a brief reply, Ling Mengxue immediately gave Liu Yinxuan a meaningful look, which she understood instantly, and then caught up with the psychologist.

"Do you know you're sick?" Ling Mengxue asked, feigning a hint of resentment.

Yue Youyou nodded, her head slightly lowered, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Health is the foundation of everything. If you don't want your father to worry, you should take better care of yourself. What will your father do if something really happens to you?"

"Sorry..."

So what should we do next?

"Accept... take treatment seriously..."

It's unclear when it started, but Ling Mengxue had begun to earnestly persuade him.

Yue Youyou understood the reasoning behind it, but she couldn't control herself and felt very depressed.

Just then, Liu Yinxuan finished talking with the doctor and came out. She whispered a few words in Ling Mengxue's ear before going to comfort Yue Youyou.

Mild depression?

Although it's just a minor illness now, if left untreated, it will only get worse and worse, and there will be no way to recover.

"Xi He, check Yue Youyou's attribute panel."

[Ding! Detection successful! The character panel detected is as follows:]

Name: Yue Youyou

Gender: Female

Identity: Student, ordinary person, part-time waiter/waitress, dishwasher, author of light novels, online editor...

Age: 17

Height: 1.63 meters

Appearance: 8.8

Body type: Slightly thin

Status: Mild depression (Treatment: Appropriate medication and one cycle of psychological counseling can basically cure the condition.)

"??"

"Leaving aside all those other personal details, he has mild depression..."

In fact, Ling Mengxue had suffered from mild depression during her middle school years. At that time, she slowly recovered thanks to Ling Xiaoyu's meticulous care and daily concern.

It's relatively easy to handle at the beginning, but if you get more and more entangled, it will become quite troublesome in the end.

But if she's been like this before, holding it in for so long, how come she only has mild symptoms?

Normally, if depression is left untreated for too long, people will eventually become deeply entrenched in it, unable to extricate themselves, and may even resort to suicide as a way to escape.

Yue Youyou's mild depression is relatively easy to treat. Generally, about one-third of people who get this disease will experience recurring episodes, which can become chronic, and another third will eventually choose suicide.

The appearance of this thing is mostly related to personality traits, family environment, life experience, social pressure, etc. Yue Youyou comes from a single-parent family, so there may have been some unknown things that happened to her.

But what factors allowed her to endure mild depression for so many years and maintain such a resolute spirit, even if she was merely somewhat timid?

What sustained her belief?

If we can resolve her inner conflict, everything will fall into place.

Having identified the key point, now it's just a matter of whether Yue Youyou is willing to talk about it.

For a teenage girl suffering from depression to persevere and finish high school must have been incredibly important, right?

It's fortunate that she had this unresolved issue, otherwise this girl might have disappeared from their lives without them even realizing it.

Ling Mengxue admired her, but now that she had made up her mind, she definitely had to help her recover properly.

Suddenly, recalling the details of Yue Youyou's first conversation with her, she realized that something seemed off and immediately asked.

"Youyou, is there anything you want to ask me?"

After much thought, Ling Mengxue decided against directly exposing the truth.

Yue Youyou's academic performance was already quite good, and she had no way of knowing how well she, a transfer student, was doing. Why would she suddenly ask him to tutor her for no apparent reason?

Something just doesn't look right.

She probably said that just to cover her tracks.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yue Youyou immediately blushed.

"Youyou, if you have any questions, just ask. As long as you ask me now, I can answer you to the best of my ability. But this is only for today, or you won't get another chance."

Liu Yinxuan was still somewhat confused when Ling Mengxue suddenly brought these things up.

Yue Youyou, on the other hand, couldn't help but tremble slightly. Since they had already put it this way, she would definitely regret it if she didn't ask. So, she might as well go all the way.

"I... I want to ask about Ling Feng."

"Actually... actually, a few years ago Ling Feng saved me from a group of thugs. Although it happened a long time ago, and he probably doesn't even remember it, I still want to express my gratitude to him in person."

"Ling Feng was always the center of attention in the crowd, and given my personality, I didn't dare to go up and talk to him. I originally wanted to express my gratitude at the senior year graduation ceremony..."

"But now..."

Yue Youyou said in one breath, leaving Ling Mengxue and Liu Yinxuan completely dumbfounded.

Is that all? Ling Mengxue really had no recollection of it at all.

She's done countless good and bad things, so they had no idea this incident existed. They probably just happened to see her in trouble at some point, and then their sense of justice kicked in, and their adolescent delusions kicked in again.

Thinking of this, she simply comforted him softly, "Don't worry, Youyou. When Brother Ling Feng comes back next time, I'll tell him everything and let him hear your true feelings."

"Thank you, Ling!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Youyou could no longer hold back and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, tears of happiness streaming down her face.

Having seemingly understood everything, Liu Yinxuan was genuinely happy for her.

She hadn't seen much of anything when Ling Feng was still in class; she only knew that he didn't like talking to strangers, and even if others knew him, he didn't know them.

That's really bizarre~

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Mengxue, you haven't joined the class group yet, have you? I'll invite you in."

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Dilemma?!

Having resolved her inner conflict, Yue Youyou naturally no longer needed tutoring.

For two or three days in a row, Liu Yinxuan would take her to the clinic every day for further treatment.

She also took Ling Mengxue's advice and removed her glasses.

This girl was originally very pretty and cute, but she had always intentionally hidden it so that others couldn't see it.

I tidied myself up a bit, then went to get a haircut. I'll keep quiet until I make a big splash!

Many students were stunned when they saw such a beautiful girl walk into the classroom.

"Holy crap?! Isn't that Youyou? She's so beautiful?!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

"I've been her classmate for three years, and I never even noticed! It's all because Youyou is so low-key!"

"How many beauties are there in our class now? The other classes would be so jealous if they saw that, haha..."

People approached her to chat, and those asking for her contact information bravely stepped forward, but Yue Youyou, still shy, silently declined them all.

However, as she gradually got to know her classmates, she quickly made one or two friends. Along with Lan Yuxin and Tang Ling, she became noticeably more cheerful and even managed to share her books, albeit with some embarrassment.

None of her classmates expected that she was writing a light novel, after all, such a cute girl suddenly had a kind of unexpected charm.

Where can I find fellow book lovers?

Here it is!

Aside from being reprimanded by the homeroom teacher on the first day, Zhao Lei has gradually been described by them regarding some of the battles involving Magical Girls.

With the news and the Magic Association appearing in the public eye, many Magical Girls fans went wild, and even most citizens had to believe it.

Magic is real!

Overnight, major news websites were flooded with headlines from a mysterious magic!

Where does magic originate? And where do Magical Girls come from?

And those Astral Mark Girl, similar to those in the Xianxia Sword Shadow series, saw their fan base explode by countless times in an instant!

Some people would sell everything they own to get their children into the Magic Association or even the special magic class at a magic academy, but it would still be a struggle!

Supernatural events are frequent, ghosts lurking in the darkness at night are becoming more and more common, and people are frequently going missing. These things... are no longer something ordinary people can handle.

If we can overcome the hurdle of "magic" technology in the future, perhaps humanity will usher in a new era!

Those girls of light who traverse the darkness have been collectively known as. "The Destiny Engraver!"

Just like her usual routine of slacking off and taking a break, Ling Mengxue sat quietly in her seat as always.

It wasn't until Friday afternoon after school that Zhao Ping unexpectedly came to find her, which surprised her.

That afternoon, there were many people leaving school. Zhao Ping, with a "calm" expression, led her to the playground, though it was unclear whether he intended to do something.

Even as more and more people gathered around, Ling Mengxue still looked completely bewildered.

This guy seems strange today. Is there something he can't just say?

Although she thought this in her heart, she didn't say it out loud. After all, with so many people watching, how could she let her brother lose face?

"It's Goddess Ling Mengxue! Wait a minute, who's that guy next to her? I've never seen him before!"

A sharp-eyed bystander immediately recognized the person.

Now, one-tenth of the students in the school know Ling Mengxue. Despite only a few blurry photos circulating online, she has already topped the list of school beauties on the campus network, and she even has quite a few female fans!

"Could it be that guy is the goddess's boyfriend?!" one of the onlookers speculated.

"Holy crap?! What's that formation looking like?! Is that guy about to confess his feelings?!"

"He's just a little handsome, would the goddess really say yes?"

Although Ling Mengxue and Zhao Ping were simply standing together, the onlookers had all sorts of opinions.

"That..."

Finally, after a long silence, Zhao Ping broke the deadlock by speaking first.

"Zhao... Zhao Ping, say what you want to say quickly, or we won't be able to leave."

Ling Mengxue spoke casually, but she was actually a little flustered inside. She was genuinely afraid that Zhao Ping would confess his feelings on the spot.

If he had confessed his feelings secretly, she could have silently rejected him. But why did he have to choose this place, in front of so many people? Are you trying to throw me into a fire?!
