Second day.
“Please put the piano over there.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Looking at the layout of the lounge, Ling Xiao felt a sense of novelty.
“Sister Orange, what is this place for?”
She turned her head, looking at that striking figure in white.
“It’s the psychological treatment room, little Ling Xiao.”
Jiang Cheng, who had just finished talking with the moving workers, walked over with a helpless look on her face.
“Didn’t we tell you yesterday?”
“Hehe, we forgot… um, but—”
The red-haired girl glanced around, a little confused:
“It doesn’t look like a place where a psychological counselor works, though?”
“That’s because this is the waiting area. The lounge is right here.”
Jiang Cheng pushed open the small door beside her and walked in.
Ling Xiao followed closely behind.
Inside was a room that wasn’t too large. Ten beds were laid out in two rows on the floor, the curtains were drawn tight, and the entire room was dimly lit.
“Why do I feel like this is the kind of place for some mysterious party…”
“Alright, stop rambling. Do you want to try it out?”
She gently tapped Ling Xiao’s little head.
Watching her clutch her head, Jiang Cheng felt a bit better.
“Um… then I want to go first!”
Ling Xiao was eager to try.
Jiang Cheng went along with her request and arranged for her to take the first bed on the left.
After lying down, Ling Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
“Um… you’re not actually going to do something weird to me, right?”
“Obviously. I am.”
Jiang Cheng took off her shoes, turned over, and climbed onto the bed.
Lying on the soft bedding, a wave of cool comfort washed over her, refreshing her mind and heart.
The girl’s white hair lay scattered across her fair skin, looking innocent, yet carrying a careless kind of maturity. Today, she wore a pair of cotton footed tights, her toes pressing into the soft mattress. For her upper body, she wore a cream-colored knit sweater, the pure white of her hair complementing the outfit nicely.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao was no different from a blind person. Jiang Cheng’s outfit was completely wasted on her.
Jiang Cheng looked down at the red-haired girl from above.
She casually straddled Ling Xiao over the blanket and leaned down.
“Little Ling Xiao, do you have any worries?”
After that gentle, soft-spoken question, her body suddenly went limp, and her consciousness immediately grew hazy.
How strange. The girl, who had initially been somewhat resistant, gradually began to relax after hearing Jiang Cheng’s voice.
“Um… there’s a white-haired girl who plays the piano better than me. I’m so mad. I want to pin her down and beat her up.”
Ling Xiao said unconsciously.
Good, good. Trying to overthrow your superior, huh?
You’d better sleep soundly. When you wake up, I’ll beat you to death.
After casually saying a few comforting words, Ling Xiao closed her eyes and fell into a sleep like a baby’s.
Hypnotized by Jiang Cheng (for real).
After dealing with Ling Xiao, Jiang Cheng turned over and got off the bed.
The treatment room had just been thoroughly cleaned, so the floor was spotless.
The girl simply decided not to wear shoes and just walked around in her socks.
The floor was a bit cold.
Jiang Cheng shivered, her toes instinctively curling up cutely.
The jade-white color formed a clear contrast with the dark floor.
The girl hopped over to the door and flipped the “Resting” sign over, turning it into “Open.”
A psychological treatment room that induces sleep, now grandly open for business~
Outside the original treatment room, two female students were gathered around the door.
“Huh? Did Jiang Cheng’s treatment room move?”
The short girl at the front tilted her head.
“Um, seems like it… So where do we go now to find Classmate Jiang Cheng?”
The tall girl looked a bit dejected.
“I worked so hard to book an appointment, even skipped class for it. How come it moved?”
“Um… it’s at the University Student Activity Center.”
“There’s a line of small text here with the address of Jiang Cheng’s new treatment room. Look!”
The short girl suddenly said in surprise.
“Great, let’s go then.”
“Let’s go, let’s go.”
“Where are you two going?”
“Ba~”
The group turned around and ran into a teacher standing with her arms crossed and a displeased expression on her face.
“Xiao Lan, Xiao Zhu,” she pointed at the two leading girls.
“Every time the class monitor gives me the attendance sheet, I see checkmarks next to your names. Do you know you two haven’t attended class for half a month now?”
“Teacher Yang…”
The short girl shrank her head, cursing her bad luck internally.
How did she manage to run into the counselor of all people?
But to get close to Jiang Cheng, she still steeled herself and said,
“We booked a psychological treatment session. We’re on our way to receive treatment now…”
“Psychological treatment?”
Hearing that term, Teacher Yang’s brow relaxed a little.
If they really had psychological issues, then that did need to be prioritized.
Looking at it that way, she couldn’t really blame them.
It’s just…
“We’re here to receive psychological treatment from Classmate Jiang Cheng.”
The tall girl replied.
Then, she added,
“Classmate Jiang Cheng’s psychological treatment is really effective. Every student who’s been treated has given nothing but positive reviews!”
“I remember the school infirmary has a psychology department. What are you two doing here?”
“Yeah, yeah, and it’s free too. Classmate Jiang Cheng is so kind.”
Classmate Jiang Cheng?
Teacher Yang frowned.
For some reason, she felt like she’d heard that name somewhere before.
It seemed… it was after class, when she overheard students chatting.
But free psychological treatment? Was it really that good?
Xiao Lan and Xiao Zhu exchanged glances, looking confused.
“Does she have a psychological counselor license?” Teacher Yang asked.
Looking at their expressions, Teacher Yang understood.
That so-called Classmate Jiang Cheng was probably just putting on a show, or was outright running a scam.
At the thought, Teacher Yang’s brow furrowed even deeper.
How dare she try to scam my students!
Does she think my karate black belt is a joke?!
“Take me there!” she decided on the spot.
“Let me go meet this so-called Classmate Jiang Cheng!”
The two female students froze.
They didn’t want to cause trouble for Jiang Cheng, but they couldn’t withstand Teacher Yang’s authority, so they could only obediently lead the way.
After casually sending a message to her best friend explaining that she was going to catch a scammer, Teacher Yang followed.
Entering the University Student Activity Center, the woman let out a cold laugh.
Choosing a location in such a noisy place. How amateur.
She pushed open the door and entered the lounge.
Seeing a red-haired girl sitting at the piano, clumsily playing a piece, Teacher Yang’s contempt only grew.
This kid still looks like a middle schooler. Hiring a little child like that to play the piano. How ridiculous.
As for the unfinished piece under Ling Xiao’s hands, she subconsciously ignored it.
After all, she wasn’t a piano major, so she couldn’t tell that Ling Xiao was practicing a new piece.
Right now, she was just furious.
There was a scammer at the school cheating people, and so many students had fallen for it.
Didn’t they have any awareness of fraud prevention?!
And free… Didn’t they know the free things were the most expensive?
Let me see what kind of magic trick this so-called Classmate Jiang Cheng has been feeding them!
Just then, the small door beside her was pushed open.
A cute-looking, almost barefoot white-haired girl poked her head out from behind the door, letting out a pleasant voice.
“Alright, it’s the next student’s turn~”
“Now, which baby is it?”
Then, she noticed the tall woman standing at the door, seeming to be either spacing out or feeling shy.
“Classmate, is it your turn?”
Teacher Yang instinctively wanted to deny it, but before she could speak, the petite girl in front of her grabbed her arm.
“Come on, classmate, don’t be shy~”
