Chapter 95: The uncouth patient Hou

The psychologist Dong Yiming prided himself on being a calm, experienced man who had weathered countless storms. Because he excelled at protecting his clients’ privacy and resolving their deepest emotional struggles, many wealthy individuals sought him out for guidance.

Dong Yiming believed that the more cases he saw, the more valuable experience he gained—a conviction that hadn’t wavered even after a decade spent working in a warzone hospital.

So, when the troublesome Master Hou scheduled a last-minute appointment, Dong Yiming didn’t hesitate to squeeze the old client into his itinerary.

Now, he was deeply regretting it.

Dong Yiming had once told this person to tell him anything he wanted, and he would listen quietly without prejudice.

But this uncouth man.

Must he really describe his sex life in detail for more than ten minutes, every rendezvous, down to the very last thrust?!

Outwardly, Dong Yiming maintained an attentive, encouraging expression—a quiet mask he had perfected over the years to cover up his true reactions.

Inwardly, however, that mask was starting to crumble. His lips twitched slightly, prompting him to bow his head and take a sip of tea to calm his nerves.

"...I might have been too hard, he was crying out a lot of tears that the mattress became wet, not just because of our body fluids. I still think that he enjoyed it, because he came several times after that. He was even twitching and calling me husband after the climax. But I could also be mistaken. Could it be that he was really crying because he was already feeling torn at that time..."

It was endless.

Dong Yiming was suffering. He was a straight man through and through. A straight man listening to gay porn in such vivid detail, he was really suffering.

The problem was that Dong Yiming really had to focus and absorb every detail to provide constructive feedback!

As time dragged on, Dong Yiming refilled his cup multiple times. Listening to the unfolding chaos, he had to admit it felt less like a therapy session and more like listening to a highly dramatic and explicit BL novel.

’Uh-oh, the housekeeper found out about the uncle and nephew!’

’Damn, the nephew just got attacked by a jealous rival!’

’What? They actually dared to do it while the biological grandfather was in the house?!’

’I knew it, the grandfather caught them!’

’And now they’ve been torn apart and forced to break ties!’

Dong Yiming was inwardly tutting and shaking his head, thinking that this man was really... a scum.

He was especially appalled when Hou Yizhen admitted that he initially only wanted to use the boy’s body to satisfy his cravings for novelty. He had fully intended to dump his nephew later, never planning to take the relationship seriously.

It was only after the boy fell into danger that Hou Yizhen realized he was being fiercely overprotective, recognized his own feelings, and decided to pursue the relationship anyway—completely disregarding the fact that the youth was his own nephew.

Dong Yiming wanted to ask: ’Did you forget about your deceased sworn sister?’

But he knew the depth of Hou Yizhen’s chauvinism. To a man like him, nothing mattered more than his own immediate desires. His moral compass wasn’t just skewed, it was completely broken.

Just when Dong Yiming finally felt the urge to visit the restroom, the chauvinistic scum finally finished.

"...So I want to know what exactly he is thinking. I’ve been straight for many years. I only recently discovered that I am actually gay, so I don’t know how a homosexual’s mind works."

"Neither do I," the straight man Dong Yiming thought bitterly.

Still, psychology was psychology, human behavior followed predictable patterns of cause and effect.

However–

"Let me go to the restroom first." Dong Yiming had drunk too much tea and needed to urgently take a break.

Hou Yizhen paused, his eyes narrowing as he suspiciously scanned Dong Yiming’s lower body. "You didn’t get turned on by what I said and want to take care of it in the toilet, did you?"

The tea in Dong Yiming’s cup almost landed on the scum’s face. Outwardly, he smiled with the same gentle expression. "I drank too much tea, you see."

Under the man’s dismissive, judging gaze, Dong Yiming fled to the restroom. Feeling oddly guilty, he made sure to return quickly just to prove a point.

Hou Yizhen shook his head. "You’re too fast. You should have it checked."

"..." Dong Yiming felt helpless.

Even until now, the vulgarity that this man learned after growing up from the lowest levels of the underworld society still had not disappeared.

Fortunately , he was much better now compared to before.

Before, Dong Yiming was always worried that his patient would end up in jail for murder several times more even after coming back from prison.

So now, although Hou Yizhen’s words were still very thoughtless, Dong Yiming was quite understanding of the man’s faults.

Just pretend that the bulging veins on the doctor’s temples were not there.

Dong Yiming began to remove all the x-rated details and focused on the essence.

"...In other words, your nephew Lin Feng confessed that he had feelings for you, and the two of you developed a casual intimate relationship."

"Um."

"However, after your relationship was discovered by someone, your nephew became anxious about the consequences and how others will perceive you both. Ultimately, he wanted to end the relationship out of fear, and you felt upset that he wanted to break away first before you did."

"Um."

"When you finally decided to forget him, your nephew got into danger. Only then did you realize that he is more important to you than you initially thought. So you decided to get back together with him, wanting to form an actual romantic relationship once your nephew reached eighteen in a few months."

"Um."

"But before that happened, his grandfather discovered the relationship, broke all familial ties you two have, and took the boy away. Have I understood that correctly?"

"Um. He was unreasonable."

’You’re the unreasonable scum.’

Dong Yiming took a deep breath, resisting the urge to beat this scum up.
