Chapter 2   You’ll Be Depressed After I Tell You the Reason

“Hello, Dr. Chen.”

Zhou Kexin, who was usually carefree, looked shy at this moment.

The chat from both streams was instantly filled with question marks.

“???”

“You’ve been missing a few days and suddenly changed your personality?”

“Is this still the Miss Zhou I know?”

“Believe it or not, taking this man down will take two punches.”

Unfazed by the comments, Chen Yu smiled and said, “Hello, I heard from a staff member that you have something on your mind that you want to consult me about.”

“Yes, I’ve been feeling weak and listless recently. I can’t sleep and am always in a bad mood.” Zhou Kexin nodded.

“I am here to ask whether a psychological problem causes this.”

“Have you ever felt bored while doing something? Have you been blaming yourself, feeling guilty for not doing anything, feeling bad about yourself, and refusing to interact with others?”

“No, not to that extent.”

Chen Yu asked a few questions in succession. From Zhou Kexin’s response and behavior, he realized that she didn’t have any psychological problems.

“How about this? Turn off the beauty filter, and I’ll help you take a look.”

Chen Yu intended to directly use the Heavenly Secret Strategy so that he would be able to know the cause of her problem.

“Alright.”

Zhou Kexin subconsciously replied but immediately paused and thought she had misheard.

Shouldn’t she be given a psychological test?

Although she hadn’t been to the hospital, she did go online to check how someone would get diagnosed if they had any mental illnesses.

“Dr. Chen, did you just ask me to turn off my filter?” Zhou Kexin repeated his words in disbelief.

“Yes, there’s an idiom that says appearance is born from your heart, which means that a person’s external appearance will be affected by their inner state of mind.”

Chen Yu said this with seriousness,

“A person’s personality, thoughts, and experiences can be expressed by their facial features.”

“How is that possible?” Zhou Kexin blurted out.

She felt it was possible to tell a person’s personality from their facial features, but it was an exaggeration if even personal experiences could be figured out.

Why did it sound like he was doing fortune-telling?

However, Zhou Kexin still turned off the beauty filter.

That was her personality. She was someone willing to try and explore the unknown.

“Dr. Chen, do take a closer look then.” Zhou Kexin, quite confident in her unfiltered face, replied mischievously.

The netizens in the livestream were all dumbfounded.

“Eh, you believe him just like that?”

“I would have thought he was a quack if this wasn’t a stream promoted by the platform itself.”

“It’s simply impossible. As a psychology major, I can confirm that there is a microexpression psychology course that can reveal a person’s true feelings and emotions through facial expressions. However, it is impossible to comprehend a person’s experience simply by looking at them.”

“Why do you care so much? Isn’t this a good thing? It’s a great chance to see if Miss Zhou, without her beauty filter, will look drastically different or not.”

“Oh, Miss Zhou still looks so good without those filters.”

“…”

To be honest, Chen Yu didn’t need her to turn off the beauty filter to use the Heavenly Secret Strategy.

However, it would be too ridiculous for the masses to believe that he could look at a face that was beautified and still read it.

Chen Yu closed his eyes and opened them again.

Zhou Kexin’s life flashed before his eyes like a movie.

Just as Zhou Kexin was about to ask what he was doing, he replied,

“The hairline in the middle of your forehead has a sharp point protruding downwards, forming a sharp peck. The Golden Rooster’s Mark, also known as Widow’s Peak.”

“This?”

Zhou Kexin looked up and touched her forehead.

“What can you tell from this?”

“This means that your parents divorced when you were young,” Chen Yu replied unhurriedly. “You lack a family that cares for you.”

“As a result, your personality became particularly stubborn. Because your studies were inadequate, you could not enter high school after graduating from junior high and could only study in technical secondary school.”

“To avoid being bullied, you appeared tough on the outside but weak on the inside.”

“You wanted to make a name for yourself after graduating from a technical school, but you were looked down upon because of your low academic qualifications.”

“You worked part-time in a themed café. By chance, you and the other girls there formed a girl group and debuted.”

“Despite your enthusiasm, the immature idol industry and publicity did not have the desired effect. Your group eventually disbanded.”

“However, you came into contact with the eSports industry as an idol.”

“You seize the opportunity to become a game streamer. Relying on your strong tenacity, you have gained a large number of fans.”

Zhou Kexin only smiled slightly and didn’t show any surprise.

She had more or less shared her experiences during her past livestream.

Although it wasn’t very detailed, Chen Yu could learn more if he followed the information she had made public.

As for her family situation and her early experiences, Zhou Kexin didn’t think much of them. Instead, she used her experiences to persuade her fans to study hard.

Because of this, she garnered many supportive fans.

Speaking of which, this handsome Dr. Chen knew her really well. Could he be her fan?

Or was it information that the staff members had provided him for the show?

“Dr. Chen, are you also my fan?”

Chen Yu understood the meaning behind Zhou Kexin’s words. Clearly, she still didn’t believe him.

“Let me tell you something that no one else knows.”

“When you were in secondary school, a senior threatened to beat you up.”

“You, who have always been cowardly, got so scared that you didn’t dare to stay in school. You took the bus home daily after that.”

“Once, when you returned home after a night class, you were followed…”

“Stop.” Zhou Kexin’s facial expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly stopped Chen Yu from continuing.

At that time, she was still young and was frightened by the stalker. After she returned home, she did not tell her parents or mention it to anyone else.

No one could know about this.

“Alright.”

Chen Yu nodded and didn’t continue speaking.

The netizens on the livestream were no longer calm. They started spamming comments, filling the chat quickly.

“It can’t be. Is this true?”

“Could it be that Miss Zhou got…”

“Don’t spam nonsense. She’s fine.”

“Hey, quickly tell us what happened after that.”

Zhou Kexin saw that chat had the wrong idea and was about to explain.

“What happened next isn’t what you imagined,” Chen Yu explained.

“Although Miss Zhou was scared, she wasn’t stupid. She ran away quickly, as fast as she could.”

Zhou Kexin blushed after hearing that.

Following this, she looked at Chen Yu incredulously and asked, “How did you know about this?”

Chen Yu’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. “Of course, I gleam it from your appearance.”

“Impossible, I don’t believe it.”

“There’s scientific evidence on this. A person’s emotions will affect their neurotransmitters and change their appearance.”

Zhou Kexin, who only had a junior high school education, was dumbfounded by that explanation.

Chat’s reaction was the same.

“Nice script. I almost believed it.”

“Alright, stop acting. I’ll give you 8 points from a full score of 100.”

“Miss Zhou, your acting skills are not bad. You can go into the film industry.”

“If what he says is possible, I’ll wear a bikini in public.”

“Well… I think it can be true.”

“Indeed.”

Almost all the netizens refused to believe that Chen Yu could tell Zhou Kexin’s past experiences just by looking at her face.

It was obvious that they had prepared this script for the livestream beforehand.

“Dr. Chen, can you tell me why I’ve been in a bad mood recently?”

Zhou Kexin was well aware that her fans would not believe her, no matter how she explained it. She pushed aside her reservations and inquired about the purpose of her joining the livestream.

“Is it depression?”

“No.” Chen Yu shook his head.

Just as Zhou Kexin was about to ask for the reason.

“However,” Chen Yu said again, “you’ll be depressed after I tell you the reason.”
