Chapter 580 - 456: Why Are There So Many Psychos?

If we can’t have dinner together, exchanging WeChat messages might be enough.

Watching He Yuan walk away arm in arm with Ning Youguang, Ma Zhou regrettably thought.

"Mr. Ma." The director emerged from backstage, "Have the teachers left?"

"They’ve gone." Ma Zhou yawned.

During the recording, the tea was just for show, and the incense was meant to keep us alert.

Once everyone departed, his mind started to relax.

With his mind relaxed, he felt a bit tired mentally.

Age was catching up; fatigue came more easily.

"Such a goddess, and you didn’t invite her for a meal?" The director teased Ma Zhou.

"I did, but she refused." Ma Zhou replied lazily, "The goddess doesn’t eat dinner."

"..." The director touched her empty stomach, "From today onward, I won’t have dinner either."

It’s too scary.

She had just planned to visit that spicy hotpot place she’d been eyeing for a while.

The beauty is so slim yet dieting, she really couldn’t indulge with her short stature.

"Skipping dinner is good." Ma Zhou chuckled, "Didn’t Mr. Liang say that not eating helps with metabolism?"

The Liang Mr. Ma Zhou mentioned was an old friend of the ’Old Friends’ program group, a reputable inheritor of a certain school of Chinese medicine.

"Right." The director patted her head, "I just remembered, sigh, working on this show allows us to learn a lot of wisdom from the teachers. But as soon as I turn around, I’m swept away by the desires of this bustling world and forget everything; I fall when it’s time to fall."

"Alright, that’s enough for you too." Ma Zhou raised his wrist with a smile, "I don’t have much to do, so I’m heading home early today."

His assistant was waiting nearby, "Mr. Ma, remember to send out the promotional post on Weibo tonight."

Ma Zhou handed his phone to the assistant, "Send it for me now. Saves me the trouble at home."

The assistant immediately started drafting the promotional Weibo content on his phone.

The director chuckled, "Mr. Ma is planning to apply the wisdom he just gained tonight, huh?"

"Ah, I’m ashamed." Ma Zhou touched his head, "After this discussion, I suddenly realize I’m not doing a great job as a parent. I’ll have to ask Ning for more advice in the future."

"Mr. Ma." The director leaned closer to Ma Zhou, "I see that Mr. He and Ning have a good relationship. Can you invite Ning more often for relevant topics on our show?"

"I’d love to." Ma Zhou knew when he saw Ning Youguang that her presence could vastly boost the show’s ratings, "We’ll see about it, let’s plan for now."

"Great." The director was thrilled about Ma Zhou’s idea, "Get some rest after a long day, Mr. Ma. I have some work to finish here."

"Alright." Ma Zhou picked up the assistant’s phone, "Take me home."

...

Ning Youguang and He Yuan hadn’t left the building of Apple Video’s recording studio when He Yuan’s phone started to ring nonstop.

She frowned, took the phone out of her bag, answered it without listening or speaking, and stuffed it back into the bag.

This action left Ning Youguang puzzled.

"Curious about why I answered the phone but didn’t speak?"

Ning Youguang nodded.

He Yuan, looking helpless and annoyed, said, "That’s the psycho I told you about. After asking you last time, didn’t you say he has mental issues? I haven’t talked to him since, but he keeps calling. I hang up; he calls again."

"Indeed quite pathological." Ning Youguang sighed lightly.

"Everything seemed fine initially." He Yuan looked troubled, "Why did he become this way once I rejected him? He’s a reputable figure in society."

"He must not have received proper guidance in his original family. When he fancied you, he thought, ’How can you refuse me? Why aren’t you interested in me?’ He doesn’t accept your unilateral rejection and only desires to achieve his ultimate goal, disregarding everything else."

"Exactly." He Yuan said, "Good thing I don’t know him well and am not considering a relationship. If I were, I’d spend the rest of my life in misery."

"Glad you’re smart." Ning Youguang complimented with a light laugh.

"It’s not about being smart. After encountering so many jerks, it’s a reflex to dodge when encountering pitfalls; I’m scared." He Yuan asked a soul-searching question, "Why are there so many lunatics in this world? Aren’t there any normal people?"

"Indeed, there are many lunatics." Ning Youguang had more experience than her, "The issue is they don’t realize they have a problem."

He Yuan knew this well, so she asked, "When conducting psychological consultations, how do you distinguish between normal and abnormal people at first sight?"

Ning Youguang replied, "When they sit down and describe their problems, share their views and others’ perspectives, they’re normal. If they merely talk about themselves, odds are they’re abnormal."

...

"Did you have fun on the show today?"

In the evening, at home, Shi Wangyue saw Ning Youguang was already home, feeling delighted.

"It’s alright." Ning Youguang slightly raised her eyebrows, "Talking about family education, my specialty."

Shi Wangyue chuckled, "Excellent work, Ms. Ning."

Ning Youguang laughed softly as she placed the last peony into the vase, "What do you feel like having tonight?"

Shi Wangyue suggested, "Do you have anything in mind? I’m fine with anything."

Ning Youguang said, "I discovered an interesting café; let’s go there next time. Today, I had blueberry sparkling water."

"Is it far?" Shi Wangyue suggested, "If it’s close, we can go the day after tomorrow."

It’s Thursday today, and the weekend is the day after tomorrow.

He hopes to visit it soon with her.

"Not far, just a ten-minute drive." Ning Youguang picked up the flowers, "Help me put the flowers next door."

Shi Wangyue walked over to the island counter, glancing at the array of fresh flowers, "Which one do you want to take?"

"Curly-edged Gerberas and white ginger lilies."

As they carried the four vases to the "Wusheng Library," Ning Youguang mentioned Zhou Tang, "I bumped into Zhou Tang at the show today."

"Zhou Tang?" Shi Wangyue paused, "An acquaintance of my elder brother?"

"Yes." Ning Youguang laughed, "What a coincidence, I never expected to record a show with him."

"Oh?" Shi Wangyue lowered his eyes slightly, "Wasn’t today’s recording atmosphere great then?"

"Yes." Ning Youguang hadn’t thought deeper, "Working with familiar people is always better than with strangers."
