Dissociative Fugue Disorder is extremely rare, and Xiao Qian became the top authority in the field over the years. She only encountered one case, and in fact, she had successfully helped Shi Yu regain her personality with just three treatments.

At that time, Xiao Qian was somewhat complacent.

The Shi family was wealthy, and for their daughter’s illness, they went abroad to consult many famous doctors.

But none of them could cure her.

With a try-their-luck attitude, they found Chen Xiaoqian, a domestic rising star psychologist. Xiao Qian only used three treatments to enter the inner world of the girl, awakening the things she forcefully evaded.

When she received the check from the Shi family, Xiao Qian felt a little bit proud. This was the biggest payment she had ever received, and she felt that she could be included in the annals of psychology. She’d managed to cure a case that couldn’t be treated by foreign doctors.

However, it was only much later that she found out that Shi Yu, whom she had awakened, had a mental breakdown and committed suicide half a year after regaining her personality.

She even got slapped by her own mentor for this.

Her doctoral supervisor was a very serious middle-aged woman. When Xiao Qian visited her mentor and somewhat boastfully shared the most memorable case of her professional life, the mentor didn’t say anything but just slapped her hard.

She said, “Do you think, Chen Xiaoqian, that you’re the only great psychologist in this world? Do you think no one could treat her before you? You’re wrong!”

It turns out that before they found Xiao Qian, the Shi family had already found Xiao Qian’s doctoral supervisor, who had given two consultations and made the judgment that Shi Yu’s Dissociative Fugue Disorder didn’t need treatment. Sometimes, forgetting can also be a form of happiness.

Xiao Qian would always remember how painful that slap from her supervisor was.

Dissociative Fugue Disorder is also called “evaporation of human society,” and it can only be acquired under extreme stress.

When subjected to a mental shock, the disorder causes the person to suddenly transition to a completely different identity and completely forget their previous one, as if they’ve become someone else. Their original personality evaporates from the world. This is more likely to happen after committing a murder or experiencing severe abuse. When faced with such a disease, top psychologists often feel conflicted.

To awaken patients’ memories, they may have to confront their bloody past, just like when Xiao Qian awakened Shi Yu’s memories, which ultimately resulted in her mental breakdown and suicide.

But not awakening the patients’ memories means they will live with their imagined identities, not remembering their past. When they’ll be able to remember remains a mystery. Some people remember after a few weeks, some after a few months, and some never remember at all and can only live with their strange identities.

Why did Shi Yu develop Dissociative Fugue Disorder?

She had disappeared for a period of time, and when she reappeared, she no longer recognized herself as Shi Yu. She insisted that her name was Zhu Xiaomeng. Her family was anxious to reconnect with her and tried various methods to help her recover her memories.

Before Xiao Qian, the Shi family had found Xiao Qian’s supervisor, whose advice was not to treat Shi Yu and let her live as Zhu Xiaomeng.

However, the Shi family couldn’t accept that and found Xiao Qian, who eventually cured Shi Yu but also awakened her most painful memories.

During her disappearance, she had been abducted by human traffickers and taken to a mountainous area where she suffered various abuses. She finally escaped by killing the old man who had been abusing her. Dissociative Fugue Disorder is especially likely to occur after committing a violent murder. Shi Yu had forgotten her past, but Xiao Qian had cured her.

Although the Shi family used their connections to cover up the matter, Shi Yu was constantly immersed in guilt and committed suicide after just six months.

This presents a significant dilemma for psychological counselors: whether or not to treat people with this disorder.

It’s an unsolvable problem. Treating the patient may awaken their most brutal memories, while not treating them means they’ll live with their new identity, unsure of when they might suddenly wake up.

Xiao Qian believes she did nothing wrong, but her supervisor thinks Xiao Qian didn’t do a good job.

This matter has become a dead knot in Xiao Qian’s heart.

She still hasn’t figured out whether she would treat or not treat a patient with Dissociative Fugue Disorder if she were to encounter one again. This question has always been a controversy in the field, and no one has been able to provide a correct answer yet.

What Xiao Qian never expected was that she would see Shi Yu again after being reborn.

By this time, Shi Yu had neither been abducted nor developed Dissociative Fugue Disorder.

Xiao Qian’s heart raced with countless ‘damns’ as she thought about having these storied roommates. Would her university life ever be peaceful?

But now, changing dormitories is out of the question.

Standing in front of her bed, Xiao Qian wondered how she could alienate herself from these people. Across from her, Shi Yu had already noticed her.

The lively little girl quickly ran over and touched Xiao Qian’s face without caring about her reaction.

“Hey, pretty girl! I’m your roommate. You have such nice skin!”

Such an overly familiar and immediate attempt to gain favor clearly displeased the female boss.

Xiao Qian swiftly slapped away her hand.

“Don’t touch me!”

She hated being touched by anyone other than Ming Lang, be it a man or a woman.

“Wow, feisty! I like it! Boss, I like girls with a little red dot on their forehead. Come on, let me kiss you, then you’ll be mine!”

The playful girl didn’t get mad from being slapped. Instead, she pouted and tried to kiss Xiao Qian’s face.

“Xiao Yu, don’t mess around…” The two people making Shi Yu’s bed worried that her mischief would scare off the new roommate, as she loved to be a troublemaker.

Shi Yu laughed, “Did I scare you? I was just joking! Actually, I’m a serious girl, haha!”

Xiao Qian looked at her expressionlessly, causing Shi Yu, the self-proclaimed party animal, to stop laughing.

“Your eyes…they remind me of my high school homeroom teacher’s eyes…do they have to be so intense?”

Xiao Qian’s powerful aura wasn’t something ordinary people could handle. After successfully intimidating Shi Yu, Xiao Qian reached out leisurely and grabbed Shi Yu’s chest in front of everyone in the room.

“Nice feel, C cup?”

Flirting with the female boss?

The boss specialized in dealing with all kinds of disobedience. Shi Yu was just a bit foul-mouthed and all talk, but Xiao Qian was the one who actually took action.

Chen Chao blushed, hurriedly apologizing to Shi Yu’s family.

“I’m sorry, my sister, she…she just loves to play!”

“I don’t like to play, but to deal with rogues like you, I have to use poison to poison.” After saying that, Xiao Qian naturally turned around and started arranging her bed.

“Haha, I like it! This girl is so fun! My name is Shi Yu, what’s yours?”

Xiao Qian, with her back to Shi Yu, heaved a helpless sigh. Fate, it was all fate!

“My name is Chen Xiaoqian.”

While they communicated in this peculiar way, Dong Yi remained silent, tidying her bed without looking or listening to the bustling pair’s conversation between Xiao Qian and Shi Yu, as if the world had nothing to do with her..
